UBC has some great programs...Not Mixed perse, but you can take Sombo, BJJ etc. there. In the interior, Pride Gym is a pretty good kickboxing outfit. When you are looking for things www.google.com is usualy a good place to start. And here is a highlite real of Igor Vovchachyn...

Is it because I am in the infantry that you think I would be seriously dumb enough to try that?

I'll get some things out of the way before I get into the meat of my post. Primarily: A soldier is not a hero for doing his job Secondly: A soldier is not a hero for dying Thirdly: No one is a hero for making tough decisions alone. Romeo Dallaire: I have had the pleasure of speaking with Mr...

Sounds like good medical advice. You wouldn't want to get friction burns in the field. Although I suppose the a**-chapstick might be a better option. Tell you what, I'll do a comparison this summer and post detailed notes.

If you want a real qoute about Canadian fighting prowess, I distinctly remeber reading something in post Great War American war plans drawn up for conflict with the UK that stated that the Canadians would be the toughest adversary in the commonwealth. I'll try and look it up. It went on to say...

I have to agree almost completely with Cpl. Dorosh. The one area in which I would differ is the initial assessment that the Soviets were seen as the 'less-bad bad-guys' even during the war. While this is generally true if you are British (and have had a historical tendency towards Russophobia)*...

While it might indeed eliminate most of the single female population, I certainly wouldn't call it the "better part", if you take my meaning.

Damn, I wish you could still get a $3.99 pack of smokes.

Ouch!!! Man, wear a f*cking rubber. That way you also get the added benefit of not getting laughed at by the entire regiment for getting the clap. Or better yet, just don't pork groundsheets.

I would have killed for extra training like that on my SQ. (Anything over the power-point week of death). As stadards kept informing us, though "this is not an infantry course". We get alot of that stuff in coy trg, at least.

I bet you'd also make a much better human breaching device than him  ;D

I phoned my mom and told her we had a warning order for Iraq. She had a fit.

While this might be where people actulay want to go, last I checked (this could be out of date) actual Imigration stacks up like this: Total foreign pop inflow, Germany Japan UK Italy France Asylum seekers: UK 92k per anum. Accpeted: 43% US 88                                43% Germany 86 ...

Realy? The way I have always used it in any of my papers is that if you are talking about it in concept, it is 'theory' just like any other IR pseudo-theory i.e. 'democratic peace theory'.  When you are talking about the practice thereof using a historical context you switch to 'tradition'...

Cdn Blackshirt: It's not rocket Science, nor is it as simple as you want to make it. For starters, raising minimum wage decreases demand (among employers) for unskilled labour which means less jobs (cyclical unemployment). Less Jobs means higher demand for EI. I'd dispense completely with your...

Normaly my reply would be "do your own homework", but seing as I am putting off doing mine at the moment, this is a good distraction. It's also a topic I have discussed at length in many classes. If this is for a seminar, and you have not already been through it, I highly suggest you read St...

If anyone wants to read a 14 page research paper on this topic I have one lying around.

If the public doesn't like my uniform (which is properly sorted), they can take it up with my chain of command. I'm not going to wear it if I don't need to, but I am also not going to inconvenience myself by not wearing it in a given situation. If my chain of command turns out not to have liked...

Reserve Infantry (Pte). Possibly moving on to the lofty position of 'Class B Comando Reserve Infanteer' soon. Once I am done with the old degree I'll remusterto the regs if I don't have any good job-offers, and Dump that "R" off the front of 031.

All time favorite match ever won by strikes has to be Pride 8 Igor vovchanchyn vs.  Francisco Bueno.
