From the Province Newspaper in BC on June 3rd. Jason Morley is trapped in his own version of a Hollywood thriller. The plot goes like this:  Morley, a gaurd at Vancouver's pretrial center, is on his annual holiday with his Russian born wife and child.  Leaving them behind in Russia for a...

China is evasively avoiding returning 24 American servicemen/women after a mid air collision. Reasons for this are only speculatory but China may be trying to convince America not to sell advanced military technology to Taiwan. They may be looking into America‘s surveillance technology as...

I have a question for you. How come when a person is raped and that crime has been committed right in front of a Canadian soldier, he/she can do nothing at all. I understand that you may not shoot a person for revenge as well as an unarmed person, but could you not take that person into...

I am not fearmongering, simply stating possible routes of conflict. There isn‘t any widespread conspiracy and I never instituted that there was. Just that the possibility of alliances between nations that we feel is impossible could in fact become a possibility. The events in Pakistan are...

Quote "The real God is only Allah, and all other false gods should be removed." That quote is as extreme as anything I could see. That is a perfect example of complete intolerance of extremist attitude. (although one can argue that Christian exremists have and continue to do the same things)...

We bring up a topic and we seemingly argue with eachother about the details. For any nation to disallow and not recognize that there are other faiths in the world is just straight wrong. Would we tolerate for one second if Christians like myself were to raid and destroy punjabi or sikh...

The Pentagon on Thursday unveiled a new "non-lethal" weapon designed to drive off an adversary with an energy beam that inflicts pain without causing lasting harm. The weapon could be used for riot control and peacekeeping missions when deadly force is not necessary, officials said. The...

It's sad that this is the state of world tolerance.  I mean, seriously, what is next.  Are these people going to declare that all other religions are illegal and declare war to destroy all evil things??  (the rest of the world??)   Afghanistan begins destroying statues WebPosted Fri Mar 2...

I was looking at Fusiliers post about transferring from reserve to reg force and am wondering about my decision to transfer to reg force. I am planning on getting that process started tomorrow (today by the time you all probably get to read this) . Anyhow, I don‘t really want to go on the 8...

I am a new NMC in the reserves and have been thinking more and more about reg force. I know that I want to get there eventually and that I want a career (hopefully as an officer) I am slated for the 8 week QL2/3 course this summer but I want to transfer to reg force for several reasons. One...

Man, I started writing letters about military funding three years ago, long before I joined up for reserves last June. So what if we have funding problems, we still need to do what we can with what we get. However; so far I have collected 6 autographed pictures of Jean Chretien (Excellent for...

I see no problems with getting the gear used. (Except like you said - underclothes etc) I was just putting it to the point that some members of my unit have expressed a sarcastic sense of disappointment. I am happy just to have finally finished the 6 month screening process. It took nearly 7...

Ok, I can run the 2.4 in just under 13 minutes, which is nothing too impressive. I have been working really really hard to get in shape and I am still working harder so I can get in the best shape I can. I think the army‘s physical standards are fairly low. I think the politically correct...

JOIN JOIN JOIN. The more people DND has to take care of, train, and equip, the more money Ottawa will dump in. (To a point; either they will, or the living conditions will go down the tubes - but I am sure (I hope) that they wouldn‘t let it get too bad) I have looked into the CF for the last...

I am a new member of the army reserves. I have not yet recieved my kit. However, one of the guys who just got his kit the first Tuesday after stand to recieved his. When attempting to mark his name and stuff on the webbing and other gear, he was dismayed to find up to 4 other names on the...
