My first choice still would've been as a Fire Fighter.  My second choice, believe it or not, was dentist...I'm not sure why??  I guess it's because I once had a game called "Toothache" (Pulled off the market because it was said to be too scary for kids), which was much like the game...

Ahhh, Yessss...black humour.  It's hard to find a Fire Fighting show/movie without it(or any EMS based show, for that matter).  Bossi, I believe the show you were watching is called Fire Station (1/2 hour show based on the TFD). Funny thing about black humour, there are still rules.  I know one...

Glad I'm not the only one with this sentiment. On a lighter note, I did appreciate his use of comic relief...(the Jean Poutine and hockey comments).   Evidently, someone did their research, and he came off seeming quite knowledgeable (JMHO).   Considering he probably couldn't point out Nova...

"they will not get new destroyers until we replace the frigates" Unless you know something I don't, I believe you've got that backwards.  I can't see convincing the public that we need to be replacing the CPF's when some of them are not even 10 years old, yet.  Whereas our Destroyers needed...

I was out on the Ranges in Harrisburg, PA, and there were no stalls there, either.  It was my first exposure to such a scenario, so I just thought that something was wrong with the washroom.  But, I had a job to do, so I did it :).  I did find one more thing awkward.  Three, of the four walls...

Good attitude Torlyn!  As for the Support Staff, the experience of myself and many others is that they were very rude.  But we found that it had nothing to do with language...they were equally rude to everyone (can't accuse them of prejudices).  I don't wish to comment on their capabilities...

Once again, all kinds of excellent suggestions.  One thing I would like to say, I've never seen anyone kicked out of BMQ for not being able to run (If you give it your all, to do whatever they ask, it doesn't matter if you can run the 100m like Donovan Bailey)...but I have seen it happen for...

"Army and free time"  Isn't that an oxymoron?? Navy and free time, now that's accurate (when borne on ship).  If you want to play guitar, there's the place to be.  And before any Naval personnel get all up in arms, this wasn't meant to be offensive.  Anyone that disagrees with my free time...

You mean that a kid could sit in class picking his nose or rolling marijuana into joints, not do any work, and then be allowed to skip the exam if he was in that classroom converting oxygen to carbojn dioxide for 60% of the time (or whatever the standard is?) That's disgusting. Sad, but you hit...

Someone please tell me I'm wrong (never thought I'd be saying that), although I think I've got most of the info correct.  On the local news (Halifax), the students and parents are in an uproar.  They want to bring back the Absentee Incentive????  If you're in the same position as myself, you're...

For starters, I'm a Base Brat, so I guess the environment was always there.  The one thing that I do remember, and I have no reason why, is an old army recruiting pamphlet that I received (and kept for many years after).  My Dad took myself and my best friend out of school (with his parents...

Cha-ching!  Sounds expensive!  Really, things have come a long way.  I remember going to MIR and Clothing Stores with feet that were ripped apart, and bad knees, and being told, "it's not the footwear, you're just wearing them wrong."  Nowadays, they give your orthodics, size your feet, and...

CivU, We are arguing symantics...I satated that the present notion believes there is no such thing as reverse discrimination, for the reasons I suggested...That is certainly one train of thought, not that I wholeheartedly adhered to, but that I presented to facilitate the discussion... Got...

"I stated earlier, that there is a notion in present discourses of affirmative action that refutes reverse discrimination."   Actually, the part that I copied and pasted from what you really said was,   "there is in fact no such thing as reverse discrimination."   This is why I said you...

LMAO  :D  Wish I saw it!  Yes, the whole irony of the rate increase request was like some sort of poetic justice. Chimo!

What can I say...the last bunch in my area got theirs on last night.  My friend just received a $4000 supply of meat last week, and that is now ready to get up and walk away by itself :P  In all honesty, Nova Scotia losing power is starting to become more of a common occurrence, then news...

All you guys and gals do is sit around and bit*h and complain!  Me, I am taking action :rage:  I've made a phone call to the Liberals, and they told me that they will take care of it.  They are assigning some lady named "Carolyn Parrish" to look after this big mess.  I'm sure everything will be...

Wow, leave for a few hours, and look at the work that's been done!   Anyway, sorry to go back to page 3 of this post but I have to address something from  CivU:  "there is in fact no such thing as reverse discrimination." Unfortunately, you are misinformed on this statement...as with the...

I agree that Jr. Officers would benefit from counselling skills training, (as hard as it would be to fit them with yet another course)but as for it "supposed to be part of their jobs", this comes as a bit of a surprise to me.  I was under the impression that this is the job of all supervisors...

Yes, things sure have changed!   Doesn't sound a bit like Cornwallis.   (OK, I fib, we still had to do the sewing, and we had the "Cornwallis Hack" which was a cold-type cough that lasted until you left).   Regardless, doesn't matter who you talk to, someone always had it worse.   I admit that...
