I am just a reservist these days but the day someone is charged and found guilty of harrassment for calling someone a nickname is the day I give my 30 days notice and walk away from the madness.

That's one of the nice ones! Usually uttered by "legs" or "wogs". :oCan you feel the love? 8)

Their opinion? Methinks it is your own, but whatever. I promise to never use the term again when the first MP I use it with takes offence. As others have stated every trade has nicknames, most not even remotely politically correct. I belong to the infantry and once with the airborne and have...

I guess my MP friends find their jobs distasteful and filled with backstabbers. ::) It's a nickname that has been used probably as long as there has been MP's. In the infantry we have countless nicknames that are "derogatory" even though we use them amongst ourselves. I guess I just have more...

Well done. A medic who performs well under fire is worth their weight in gold and I like to see them getting the recognition they deserve!

Same here Redeye, in fact most of my MP friends use the term more than I do! I guess they are just a little more-thick skinned than some of their peers.

I would expect if an NCO was in a relationship with someone under their command that the NCO would have one or the other removed from that particular command, be it an infantry section or whatever. That NCO should NOT have been writing her PER, but that is water under the bridge. If it occurs...

The "not just lower ranks" actually surprises me, being as cynical as I am. Here in Kingston we were told that few, if any positions, would be lost. Which normally would make me think we're about to lose quite a few of them!

My read on this is the man has an agenda and is merely using Canadian Blood Services as a tool to further his rather selfish agenda. In other words, an attention whore.

The story we got last week was due to the financial situation in Ontario that approximately 100-150 "short term" Cl B positions will have to be eliminated this year. No mention was made to eliminating long term Cl B positions.

Didn't Charles Darwin write about things like this over 100 years ago? ;D

My thoughts exactly. It gets quite tiring when everyone claims that the course they were on was the "toughest". I guess folks say that to make themselves feel special. As far as the recce patrolman course goes, it is one of the easiest courses in the military. I suggest you sit around and do...

Nice hyperbole, ::) where in the story does it mention anyone firing weapons?

Water jumps were always a nice jammy jump, except for the young officer who did a cutaway about 75 feet up! :o

Met MCpl Mitic at a function in Kingston a few months ago and found him an incredibly switched on soldier. The drive and determination he displays is a credit to not only his regiment or the forces, but to all people.  :salute: Best of luck to him on the run, I have faith he will complete it.

If it was my kids he wouldn't have made it to trial!  :threat:

That photo is my wallpaper here at work with the by-line "Don't worry, I'm from the internet"  ;D

I wouldn't mind seeing either one sporting their new bikini poolside! 8)

Hmmm, accusing a neighbour of crossing your border as an excuse to start a war. ??? Where have I heard that one before? ::)

Jar Jar Binks. He should have been killed seconds into his first appearance! :threat:
