You're 27 years old...if 16 year olds still legally bound to and reliant upon their parents can do it... My parents were (are) still against it, but to hell with them - you only get one life, and it's yours.

I'm on a weekend course, and just finished the gas hut last weekend. I was kind of surprised how easy it was - the drills really work! That said, there was a stage in it where we had to go into the gaseous environment without our mask protective, and for the next two days I was hocking up phlegm...

It's "to be brief", is it not?

If he was so sure he was doing the right thing, then why didn't he stay to face the music for his actions? Irregardless of his service in Vietnam, he acted like a street thug.

There was an article on the news about this a short while ago. Apparently, an elderly man had the same problem as yourself, and took to using a leghold trap. He ended up catching a cat, and the "poor dear thing" was immediately made the victim and now he's in some serious shit...

Better/more controversial idea..... Before you pork the girl, make sure that she's all for abortion. Works for me! But then again, I'm an athiest so I'm going to hell anyway.  >:D

Again, being selective, but military-turned-political leaders haven't historically enjoyed the most stellar track record. To add to Infanteer's mention of Hitler, one could also get Hussein, Pinochet, and Nasser to fall in on the line. Good leadership is not a quality exclusive to the military...

http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/2941.0.html I made a post on this awhile ago with an attached news article. It's quite an interesting read on how the Chinese would take Taiwan. Personally, I don't see why it is a huge deal. Is Taiwan really worth a large-scale war, especially considering...

Yes, pilots need 20/20 uncorrected. Contacts, glasses, laser eye surgury etc are no-no's. As to the difference it would make, well, think of what would happen if you are flying an aircraft and your contact lens falls out. There are other countries that allow pilot candidates to have corrective...

If you're at a party, how do you tell if one of the guests is a fighter pilot? He'll tell you. How does a fighter pilot change a lightbulb? He holds it in place and the world revolves around him. ;D

Yeah, BMQ is pretty good. I got a good initial review from my course head, been managing to be the "gray man", keeping up in PT and flying below the radar. My first weekend I was jacked up, hard, by a terrifying Warrant for not having a beret (I was never issued it, but I made DAMN sure I had it...

I'd imagine that the reason is that they don't want surplus operational clothing floating around - bad for security.

Sounds like Edmontonian gypsies have a tough act to follow. An unidentified man believed to belong to a Gypsy community was also killed when a tile torn off a roof cut off his head in the western suburb of Vernouillet, other officers said. http://www.terradaily.com/2004/041217165332.h4q5619p.html

I wonder if decisions are ever made on who's actually the better choice? Who is best able to provide the training?

I've never understood why realists and liberalists can't just shut up. Everyone in university seems to feel the need to characterize themselves as being at the polar end of some idiotic political spectrum, and think that they are right for doing so. The Campus Conservative Club at my university...

Judging from their website, your education is paramount. I'm sure that if they contact you for further information once you applied, they would tell you what the job entails. 

Infanteer....quick constitutional question; wasn't the repatriating of our constitition as much (if not more) a desire of the British as it was to us? Certainly though, were the monarch (Clarkson) to engage in anything other than her obligational parliamentary duties and engage in something at...

From my own personal observations about Australia (I'm sure Wes could confirm) the collective sense of national identity down there is much more prevalent. While Australia may soon be a republic (when put to a second vote) I have no doubt that they seem to have a better idea of who they are...

Strange, I would have assumed that you soldiers would be the most vociferous proponents of keeping the monarchy, tradition being as it were. Is the balmoral next?
