    Iranians Provoke USN

    I'm sure the mods can see our IP to prove otherwise. Though I was laughing when I saw the one guy who backed me up had just 1 post.

    Iranians Provoke USN

    dammit bullets, you're killing me with your 1 post total ;) Seems like you're ignoring about 50 years of US meddling in Iran's affairs, including overthrowing their first democratically elected prime minister, providing chemical and biological weapons to Iraq for use against Iran duing the...

    Iranians Provoke USN

    lol, the CIA did a pretty piss poor job at fabricating this video. "I am coming to you....you will blow up"??!!!  ::) Just another propaganda stunt to help try to justify an illegal war. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that Iran is no longer selling oil in US dollars...hmmm.

    Uncertain about going either multi or helo

    Good advice Inch and G2G, thanks. As for Nav being the toughest phase, well, everyone has different opinions on that. A surpisingly high number of people have been failing the BIT and ICHT lately. I guess it all depends.

    Uncertain about going either multi or helo

    Thanks for the info Inch. Recce, I get the point. I understand the CF can post us and deploy us as they see fit. However, in the final phase of pilot training, we are asked what airframe we want, and what location we want. And the CF tries their best to accomodate us. I just wanted to see what...

    Uncertain about going either multi or helo

    Ok, I'm nearly done Moose Jaw (just Nav and Form left) and I still can't decide whether to go multi or helo. Ignore my avatar, jets are not in the cards. I did my OJT at 438 sqn (Griffons, St.Hubert) and enjoyed the atmosphere, the short briefs and debriefs, fun flying, etc. Unfortunately, I...

    "So You Want To Be A Pilot" Merged Thread 2002 - 2018

    Chou, you almost had me fooled, lol. I know all you do is go to timmies, surf the net, go to the pool (cute lifeguards btw), and leave work at 3. How's Claudio doing? Keeping my chair warm? Are the claims piling up yet? Give him the goat for me.

    "So You Want To Be A Pilot" Merged Thread 2002 - 2018

    I recently arrived in Moose Jaw and noticed alot of foriegn students, particularly Hungarians, Italians, Brits, and Singaporians. If we're having problems pumping students out of the Jaw, why are we giving away slots to foreign students? For example, on the next course, there will be 8 Canadians...

    Crazy Income Tax Question

    I'm gonna bump this thread up with my own tax question. I recently owed $500 on my provincial taxes because I was posted in Ontario from January-September then transferred to Quebec for the remaining tax year. Since Quebec was my place of residence as of December 31, I had to pay Quebec taxes...

    Shiite Iraqi's Losing Faith in their Clerical Politicians

    As strange as this may sound, maybe Iraq needs another dictator. Saddam Hussein was faced with the same challenge when he took control - a country that was divided religously, culturally, and economically. He took control with an iron fist and basically silenced anyone who challenged him. Now...

    Shitty Kitty still exists... We actually met a couple girls there, then noticed that they're pics were in the rumble book from the earlier course! They must be waiting until the next round of pilot hopefuls come in  ;D.

    PFT post-solo dunking in -25C!!!

    We're usually on standby until 13:30. After that, if the weather doesn't seem to be improving, we're let off. I'll usually review and do some chair flying for a bit. After that, it's workout, eat, go into Portage and get a Timmies, eat, ping-pong, watch movie, sleep.

    PFT post-solo dunking in -25C!!!

    I should mention that this is the only student who has completed his solo (he had his commercial license). Most people are at least 4 flights away from their solo and if the weather stays this cold, the course may be extended. The new Grobs have been experiencing problems keeping the oil...

    PFT post-solo dunking in -25C!!!

    Yes, the wonderful tradition of dunking solo students in a tub of freezing water continues here in beautiful Portage. BTW, I know I laugh like a girl. Enjoy the vid  ;D http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3963292388229925682&q=post-solo+dunking&hl=en

    Firefighters' fitness test ruled discriminatory

    Oh man!, Is it me or are the fatasses taking over? Didn't Hillier want the Forces to get in better shape? Yet here we have the fitness standards of FIREFIGHTERS dropping!! Obviously men over fifty are gonna have trouble with this test. That's why they get desk jobs. Though I know a couple 50...

    UN Report: World's Tensions Caused by ISR-Palestinian Conflict

    North Star, As long as Israel illegally occupies Palestine, the fighting will not stop. The population will never accept their own government suppressing their right to fight the occupier. Would you? Regardless of whether the PA has the political will to enforce a ceasefire or has a vested...
