My firearms instructor when I went through basic explained it to me and it turned out to be true; I grew up playing sports right-handed, but turned out I was a natural lefty.  I found I shot better with my left, but ended becoming ambidextrous in shooting after a couple years in.  

When you say cross-dominant, isn't it more likely that you are a naturally left-handed but was raised right-handed?  (That's what I am)

To clarify, I have read numerous times of people refering to their personal 'military potential'; Ive just never heard of there actually being an actual checklist or assessment scale that could be used to evaluate whether a person has military potential or how much of it they have.  Maybe its...

PM inbound with better example...

How do you stand on academic studies that show that polygraph tests are less than 65% accurate? Or on statements by credible persons that polygraphs don't work?  For example: For example in 1978 Richard Helms, the 8th Director of Central Intelligence, stated that: "We discovered there were...

Sounds like a new and interesting topic for the Radio Chatter channel - compiling a working list of criteria for evaluating a person's 'military potential'...

Is there any indication of what criteria they used to judge and convict these Generals? I didn't see any indication of it and I can think of worse Generals that arent on the list...

If that happened to you recently, I would be surprised.  If that happened to you years ago I would not be surprised.  

Not to derail the topic, but is there an actual scale or series of check boxes for 'military potential'?  This isnt the first time Ive heard of a reference to such a thing, and starting to wonder if its an actual thing and not just someone's wishful thinking...

Shades of Dr. Strangelove: "Mr. President, we must not allow a bacon gap!"

If that's not proof of current or former membership in some sort of super-spy organization, I dont know what is...    ;D

George, are you suggsting that you drink Martinis...!  :o

I would be hard pressed to believe anybody was a member of a military intelligence organization, in any country, or from any country, if they ordered a martini.  Or any drink with an umbrella in it. 

I believe this will be the next big case - more recently knonw as Bill C-215 http://openparliament.ca/bills/41-1/C-215/  http://openparliament.ca/bills/41-1/C-215/?page=2

What a load of crap - those kinds of articles aren't worth debating or posting on this website...

Shouldn't there should also be related information identifying the date the equipment was attributed to your docs and where it occurred? 

Its very dependent on the community; some have very good relations with local colleges and universities, and good dialogue with local elders,  so that even those who drop out often have the opportunity to go back and get the G12 equivalent once they realize how important it is to getting a job...

There are still persons of First Nations background who make canoes (including other variations of maritime travel) in the old ways, but it tends to be related to professional trade, passing on tribal heritage and skills, and/or of spiritual significance.  To imply that all First Nations people...

Educating the teachers - great idea. 

I think it would be more effective if they depicted or offered personal talks with currently serving CF members with First Nations backgrounds - this way potential recruits can learn about what it is currently like, not how it used to be like...
