Canada still requires Polish nationals to obtain a temporary residential visa (TRV) for visits or any other purpose.  (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas.asp) There are several petitions in the works to try to change this, but that is the fact as of this date. Canada and Poland have had a...

Well, I'm wearing a Utilikilt as I type, I've lounged, hiked and canoed in it for the past couple of years, and it's uber-comfortable in the back-country.  Don't try skiing in it though  ;D

Not argueing that!

Wes, many states have now passed legislation making it illegal to protest with 500 feet of funerals, and a court in Maryland recently awarded 11 million in damages to the family of one of the deceased.  A couple more judgements like that and they may shut down the b@stards...

You can start with anything proscibed by the Criminal Code, and then you can add any prescription medication that wasn't prescribed to you by a licensed physician or dentist.  I'm sure if you do a search, you'll find some more info, but the bottom line is that the CF does not tolerate people who...

Just about every training manual that I've read states you should eat a relatively small high-carb meal/snack before a workout, and a larger high-protein meal within 30-45 minutes of finishing a workout.  Paracowboy has posted some excellent summaries of exercise nutrition principles on here...

I was lucky enought to attend a high school with a rifle range, an archery club, and trips to a local pistol range for more "practical" applications of marksmanship. It was great to be able to put down the books and put lead on target a couple of days a week. We'd joke about the "3 R's":  Rugby...

Here you go: All individuals who have reason to believe that a child is in need of protection have a legal duty to report this to a child welfare worker. Individuals making a report are protected from civil action as long as the report was not purposely false. Failure to report is punishable...

Totally random.  There's no meaning to the first letter whatsoever.

It's got the same novelty value as the Suck-O-Meter patch beside it, and the nick-name tag above it... And it was money out of MT's pocket, not mine   >:D I say again, blood patches have no value on the uniform.  They may look cool, they may fill that otherwise empty velcro tab on the uniform...

Yep.  you will ALWAYS be typed and matched before getting a transfusion of anything but type O blood, military or civi facility, we all work out of the same book.

Canada is the lead nation for the Role 3 hospital in Kandahar, but it is a NATO asset that works for all forces in RC(S).  There have always been Dutch, Brit, US and other nations medical staff attached there.  We send people to The Netherlands for training prior to going over, too. Roto 6 is a...

MEC has an online gear swap on their website, full of decent used gear, and, although it won't do you any good for Feb, most stores also host a gear swap in the spring. Worth it if you can get near one of their locations.  I've picked up some amazing deals at them over the years, Zamberlan boots...

Are these with the LW fiberglass tubes?

Beaten to it by Des, but here ya go I shipped two of them last month. They're pelican cases, so really well built.  They've got wheels and a handle a la roller luggage, but they're freakin' huge, almost too big to lift comfortably (or my arms are too short).  I can't recall what the weight...

My first set was a little off, but by trading around within the company a couple of us managed to get first rate fits with a combination of the different sizes.  I think I've now got large front and back, and medium side and crown pieces.  If there's several in your unit ordering, you may get a...

you want to justify that statement? Are you refering to the Pivot Legal Society allegations that were ALL withdrawn, or some other allegations of excessive use of force? Inquiring minds want to know WTF you're talking about. PMT

"Gunfire was exchanged and the man was shot. It was fatal. Our officers weren't hurt," --Tim Fanning And that's exactly how these things should go.  :salute: This guy rocks, he's a great spokesman for the department.

Tim, I don't see any guarantee that he will be declared insane.  Since his trial lawyer didn't use it as a defence, I highly doubt the crown will push for it, unless he uses it in one of his further trials.  I COULD see the crown pushing for a dangerous offender designation, but insanity hasn't...

We've gotten some talking to about pt, and then spend our days very much like Ex Mo described it. It doesn't help that there's a number of leadership types who I've almost never seen in the gym, or do PT of any kind.  It seems that the culture of fitness is being paid lip service.  >:(
