There‘s a Starship Troopers 2?

Paintball has the potential to deal out some pretty good pain, given the right circumstances. However, those times are few and far between. I‘ve seen some guys get hit in the neck, and get fairly serious swelling and bruising at the impact site. I don‘t know first hand, but it sure LOOKS like...

I thought he played Legolas just fine in LOTR. My overall opinion of Troy was just the opposite. It was ok, but borderline to being a bad movie. Although Brad Pitt‘s acting was fine, the character that was written for him was very confusing. Is he supposed to be the most powerful and arrogant...

I have a Piranha STS VF. It‘s a tournament grade marker, so I have problems keeping the velocity within acceptable limits when I play indoors. I end up cutting coils off even the weakest springs to it get down under 200 FPS.

I was playing quite a bit up until a few months ago. I was playing at Sgt Splatters a lot and I was getting really frusterated with the newbies, so I‘ve been taking a break. They always cheat, and never leave when they get hit. In that respect, I‘ve learned how to aim much better, so that if...

For the record, Graham is my last name. I put my name as it is because I recalled from Sea Cadets years ago that I was always addressed as Stevens (which used to be my last name). If I was being accounted for or being checked off a list for any reason it was always "Stevens, D". I vaguely...

That would really depend on who you are and where in the world you live. If you mean what was a bigger crisis for the Canadian military, then the answer in my opinion is the Somalia incident, hands down. The Americans treatment of their prisoners doesn‘t really have anything to do with Canada...

The definition according to Websters is: "1 : any of the five terminating members of the hand : a digit of the forelimb; especially : one other than the thumb" Since the dictionary is intended to be taken literaly, the answer would be YES, the thumb is a finger. Though the last bit...

It seems like a pretty simple case of neglect. At 7 years old, a child shouldn‘t even be allowed to ride on a 50cc ATV without very close adult supervision. The fact that he could get it started and begin driving it indicates that he was shown how at some point, which is totally...

You aren‘t even at a stage where you can be considered until your medical is done and reviewed in Borden, so don‘t feel like they have passed you over if you don‘t hear anything right away. You have a while to wait. I would call in every once in a while to check and see if they have any time...

Just press even when you think you MIGHT hear something. You don‘t fail just because you pressed at the wrong time or missed a few. If you THINK you hear something, you probably do, even if you‘re not sure. Even people with exceptional hearing will stop hearing the beeps when the decibles get...

It was step test, hand grip test, pushups, then situps for me. It really shouldn‘t make any kind of difference what order they do it in though. It‘s a pretty basic test.

Agreed. I‘d let him serve his 25 years first though. A scrawny kid like like that is going to be a real dreamy treat for some lifer. He deserves everything thats going to happen to him as he learns the ropes of existing for life behind bars. As for people paying their respects, I think that...

Ya that‘s a good link, I have it on my favorites list. It‘s one of the best resources for "inside basic training insight" that I have been able to find. Obviously I don‘t have any way of knowing how accurate all that information is, but it all pretty much SEEMS to make sense, and sounds a lot...

I‘ll just post this in here, since the thread is titled Medical. A little off topic for this thread but better than starting another. Well, 11 weeks after being told my medical file was sent to Borden and that I could expect it back within 3 weeks, I called last Friday and discovered that they...

That‘s the odd part, 1974 is the year he was supposed to have been killed. For the younger brother of the person in that picture to have died (as a peacekepper) in 1974, would mean that that person in the picture would have to be about 50 at the time the picture was taken (assuming that it was...

Thanks for the link Nick, I browsed through some stuff and it looks like a valuable resource.

It depends how you split up your workouts. I started doing a 5 day routine instead of doing split workouts, and I‘m seeing pretty noticable results. I average about 1 day off for each full cycle of my routine. There‘s no need to take excessive time off if I‘m only hitting each muscle group...

I can‘t really find any backround information about these brothers but here‘s the link to the Guinness page: http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/index.asp?id=52085 There‘s a picture of Roy, but the video link is screwed up and it‘s showing a clip of a different record holder. This was the...

I misread that and answered the wrong question. Here‘s a quote from Guinness Book of World Records: "Most Push-Ups In One Hour The most push-ups completed in one hour is 3,416 by Canadian Roy Berger at the Central Canada Exhibition, Ottawa, Canada on August 30, 1998. Roy dedicated the record to...
