This is a new development with inspiration Mars....I'm wondering if the statement is accurate? Tito originally announced that they want an older married couple, who have already raised children to go on the trip. The mentality was that the older couple already have proven abilities to cope...

Don't forget aliens and crashed alien ships.

From what I recall, the 6 month wait time can be bypassed for unusual and extreme circumstances. Generally it will fall on the CO to say yay/nay to define what that is. I suspect the religious issue would be a tough sell.

Were you living in Canada and achieved a US high school diploma? This would be through a private school in the states catering to home schooling I assume? If so, that must have cost a whole stack of cash! Just want to point out most home schooled people I have met would not have that option and...

I like how you equate my answer of an 'average day' to 'whining'. Let's be realistic. Yes, if you are good you will get to go on some really neat taskings, training, attach postings, deployments.  I sure did, plus others in my troop got handed some opportunities, but dominantly it does not...

Really neat to read about. The fact that an animal can have such physiological impact on people with a really serious problem is very amazing. I wish I had more knowledge of psychology as this stuff is kind of perplexing when I think about it. Could it stem from some kind of evolutionary...

Starting over with a clean slate is not a bad idea. Sadly, universities are unforgiving for first year students and your story is far from uncommon. Question I have is, why did your semester crash? If the reason was was you could not keep up and study properly, one of the best possible...

Four years to the day. RIP Nick. They say 'Never Forget', but I don't think those involved could even if they wanted to.

McThor, homeschooling applications are often treated a bit different by universities.  This suggestion does not circumnavigate the CFRC policy quoted above: I suspect you may want to look into applying to a public university and going through their process for homeschool applications. It is...

Neat, as in Dogs with PTSD? or more likely Dogs helping people with PTSD? Interesting topic but I'm but nowhere near a TV or internet with good connection at the moment. :(

Weirdos. http://psychologicallyrelevant.blogspot.com/2012/07/psychology-behind-impersonations-of.html Those who do things like this  (with no ill intentions?), are so unhappy with their own lives and themselves to the point where they have to make up a false identity to feel good. Could it...

I don't know about anyone else here, but I had to look Fibromyalgia up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibromyalgia

Face/Shoulder/Kneck. Given the angle of the camera I can't see what his foot came into contact with. Do you have magical powers we should be aware of that allow you to know these things? No. So, I suggest you try to look at things more objectively. Also, please read my post again as you have...

There is no information to support that was his intension by the video. I don't see that in the video at all. Prior to being kicked in the face his arms are outstretched and hands stationary. Was there something else going on? I don't know either. You can speculate this many different ways...

Despite all this prevention of drug use, I can't count the number of idiots that lost their spot on tour and were put on C&P because they could not stay off drugs after getting into regiment. Great way to stall your career for a good year or two.

After training, life in the regiment field squad goes like this: - Show up 0730 for parade. - If PT day (3 days or more a week), then PT for a while, go back to shacks, change. Parade. - Sit in cage until something to do. (Sweep floor, inspect vehicle, move some stuff around) - Sit in cage...

I lived outside Canada for a couple of years prior to applying. It took 8 months (maybe a bit more) to process my pre-sec. That was back in 2005-ish so I hope things are faster now. I was living in a NATO country at the time so you would think things move faster, but not so much.

Interestingly enough NASA has a measurement similar to the Richter scale for asteroid impacts, called the Torino scale: I don't think the chart does justice to what a 10 on the Torino scale would do to the planet. (Ask the Dinosaurs about that one)

The meteor broke up quite high in the atmosphere and scattered parts of itself everywhere. The video is of Derweze, as mentioned by a poster on the video. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derweze) Also, text is not in Russian. The shock wave was so intense, that Richter scales registered the...
