A tip of the hat to the fellow who said "ignorance is bliss" ... I'd politely suggest Churchill's quip applies equally to allied nations, as well as the alliance between soldiers and civilians - the bayonets at the front rely upon their entire nation for support ... which includes industry...

It's been proposed many times, and is not without historical precedent (albeit not necessarily TH). The link to first responders (fire, police, ambulance) is strong in many communities, not only just because they work 24/7 (and therefore eat and drink, too ...). Some communities have "flying...

I'll pass it on - the idea of a video that could be downloaded (for "free") makes a lot of sense, since it would greatly reduce costs (i.e. if for the sake of argument we were to imagine that we couldn't even afford to buy CDs/DVDs to distribute free copies to everybody ... there's little or no...

Hmmm ... and I found this, sunshine: http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/234/post-259349.html#msg259349 (which basically says the minimum standard to be achieved differs according to your age and gender)

Shhh ... you're giving away all my trade secrets ... besides - the ends justify the means, as long as they come through the classroom door and then stay awake long enough to absorb the MTP ... (and, laughter stimulates the flow of oxygen to the brain ... now, if they'd only stop laughing at ME...

It depends on the aim of the exercise (no pun intended ...) If you're doing physical fitness trg, the gazelles won't necessarily benefit from the pace set by the slowest - thus, you might break into groups:  Slow and Fast, or Slow Medium and Fast (depending on the size of the group).  However...

P.S.  (my father was a carpenter, and one of his enduring lessons to me was "use the right tool for the right job" ... and so, purely as a demonstration to anybody else who ever needs a quick answer to a simple question ... out of curiousity, I Googled "vibram soles Toronto" ... and here's the...

I'll check when I get to work, but ... I'm dubious - something as sweeping as this would surely have generated more discussion - and, even though it's been over a year since I deployed, I know for a fact that I was provided with DND/CF forms for Power of Attorney and a will. Two of the enduring...

No, there isn't. If you don't understand the concept of refraining from posting mistruths and incorrect information, post a question, I will be quite willing to further explain the situation.

Good point - I guess we could move it to "Current Affairs", since it relates indirectly to the deployment of CF assets on Op UNISON - plus it also relates indirectly to Dom Ops (or, "Continental Ops" in some folks' lexicon).  Moving now ... covering ...

Just like the commercial for responsible drinking (and not driving when inebriated): "Arrive alive".  When you leave somebody behind, it could be tantamount to killing them one day ...

Whether using PowerPoint or not, it still all boils down to METHOD OF INSTRUCTION!!! (sorry for shouting, but I wanted to emphasize the MTP). When used properly, or adroitly, PowerPoint can help the instructor. However, not every instructor can make a boring lecture interesting ... ditto for...

This is an example of one weakness of e-dicsussions:  The lack of tone, plus the delay between point, and counter-point ... In this example, nowhere did I (or several others) presume to suggest any moral superiority - it was simply stated, matter-of-factly, that looting in Canada is rare. ...

FastEddy:  please stop posting incorrect/false information such as "... There are no mitigating circumstances during the commission of a crime ...".  You are embarrassing yourself by implying otherwise. In fact, even though a suspect might be arrested and charged for commission of an alleged...

(sigh) ... Okay, Sparky - bless you for trying your best, but ... let's try this again ... Looting is not synonomous with rioting.  I said "looting", not "rioting".  You introduced rioting to this discussion on looting.  It wasn't my little voice you heard say "rioting" ... Take notes if you...

I've always figued the recruiting slogan is an indicator of what type of person will be attracted ... For example: US Army WWI, WWII:   "I want YOU for the US Army" - no, not you - sit down, loser - I was pointing at the fit, intelligent guy behind you ... US Army 1981-2001:   "Be all you can...

Okay, FastEddy - follow the bouncing ball - let me know if you can't keep up, and I'll slow down to your pace: So, to clarify:  I'm not talking about "recreational looting" (i.e. such as happens after a sports victory or loss, when a criminal element takes advantage of the throng to mask their...
