BING BING BING - funny how  that "permission" thing works! No, she knew exactly what would happen, possibly even planned for it, as Marshall Mathers said "there is no such thing as bad publicity"

Because when you hang out in a trench which alternately fills with bugs and water, for extended periods of time, the smaller bugs can actually still get to your ankles and legs - even with boots tied all the way up and tightly bloused. The flea collars as boot bands did work, although I can see...

HA! I have overcome the Alberta cold, with a block heater, coolant heater, battery heater and electric interior heater, all rigged to a timer, to guarantee frost free and comfortable starts,  even when it is -30.

All of the doomsayers preaching about the evils of non-issue kit have been told to STFU once the bullets start flying in theatre. Fighting tours and parade squares are totally different places, and I believe we have it right when it comes to the de facto policy of wearing the TV for domestic...

Quotes from Capt Pederson's letter to Michael O'leary. Captain Pederson is wrong in reference to a number of points he presents as facts. I will only comment on the ones I have experienced personally, and know to be true. Wrong. I have been deployed from a civilian airport, and returned to...

That's EXACTLY how it is. Last time I checked, my choice of reading material does'nt hold my entire unit/element up to ridicule. P.S. You could probably add "female" to the gender portion of your profile - you're outed.

Guess I missed that day in regimental history  ;D I'd love to see a source for that - I have most books pertaining to my regimental history, no mention of that instance that I remember.

Gunner 98, To summarize, 1) We, as soldiers, when injured, become "cash paying" customers of the civilian HC system, once the acute care phase is completed by military HC resources. 2) We are not realistically entitled to any special care beyond what a civilian would recieve. 3) The...

That sounds familiar...... "b-b-but Sergeant Major - I have a C6!" "...and I have an ulcer and an ex wife - NEXT!"  ;D

Hehe, had a nice laugh at the expense of my "smart" car driving, annoying neighbor this morning, as I dropped my Cherokee into 4WD and stopped to chat with him about the virtues of fuel efficiency, RWD and european engineering. Nothing to humble the miserable lefties like a white out.  ;D

In the 70s, the intelligentsia were bleating about the coming ice age, in the 90s it became shrill cries of "global warming", and now it is called "climate change" - so no matter what happens, their collective a$ses are covered either way.

I have yet to hear of anyone (including me) getting any satisfaction from this sort of incident. I also live in a "mixed income neighborhood" and Canada post persists in leaving my parcels on my front step, even when it says *SIGNATURE REQUIRED* on the label above the address. The Canada...

Neil Bissoondath covers this very topic at length in his book Selling Illusions. It is not lost on him that if he were a white anglo writing such a book, he would be quickly branded a racist, intolerant redneck, and held up to ridicule. He also discusses, in depth, the "cult of the exotic"...

For you my friend, colonial status special - those subs were an accident I swear - here, have a few hercs filled with SA-80s - a special gift of more excellent kit! I swear, these ones don't catch fire!  ::)

OK, a lively discussion here in reference to payment, but what I'm concerned about (deploying soon) is the care I am to recieve if I'm hurt. My opinion is that I would rather be in a military hospital (in Europe/US/wherever) that specialises in whatever injury I have. For example, if I am hit...

Desperate to compensate for the powder-blue wedge, 4 pilots create an airsoft team.

Seems like a good piece of kit - but I have a few questions. The TCCC qual pers are all being issued BH thigh rigs with their applicable kit in it, which can also be mounted on webbing, ruck etc. Medics carry their own far larger bag with more stuff for use at platoon level. Some of the kit...

<Yawn> we already burned their white house once - to do so a second time would only be petty.

THREAD HIJACK Allan, are you stating that it is now a standing order in Gagetown that you must back your civilian vehicle into parking spaces on the base, by order of the powers that be? What led to that?

It's not "optional" for the hospital, it's a duty imposed on them by the feds - they have no choice. Unfortunately, this can also mean partaking in the waiting lists that plague civilian hospital system, which would not be the case if they were kept in Landstuhl or Ramstein. I suspect the...
