    I reckon this driver was trained by the Royal Marines.

    Same ship, same port, different day. Seems that Ardrossan is not the easiest port to get into when there is any sort of weather. From a comment on a page about CalMac ferries and weather, ". . . It was one of those days when the Captain advises you “stay seated” as she makes the right turn...

    John Cleese on Creativity - Play

    Flashing back to being at Staff School in the 1980s. They made great use of Video Arts management training videos. I don't know for certain why the products from that company was selected but I've always suspected that the individual responsible was a Python fan (but who wasn't back then)...

    2025 U.S. - Venezuela conflict

    But who's going to do anything about it? If a Security Council resolution condemning the action or proposing "anything" was introduced the USA would veto it. It would be exactly the same reaction as when Russia invaded Ukraine. Well, not quite the same. Ukraine, thanks to Russian...

    Army Reserve Restructuring

    An interesting, recent (2021) monograph about martial race theory from School of Advanced Military Studies, Fort Leavenworth. By a Canadian officer. Martial Race Theory in Contemporary Operational Planning https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/trecms/pdf/AD1161141.pdf

    Army Reserve Restructuring

    Like most, my acquired view of Victorian thinking on military service in the subcontinent might stem from watching "Carry On Up The Khyber".

    Medical rejection

    "Your" psychiatrist doesn't clear you medically. He should only provide your medical history, what his diagnosis and prescribed treatment was, how you responded to the treatment, his valid opinion of how you are currently coping (in so far as he is able to observe that) and his opinion of what...

    Army Reserve Restructuring

    Our view of the this "martial tradition and respected profession" mostly stems from their history in the Indian Army (and previously British Indian Army). Though the costumes that could be adopted could outshine the borrowed history and paraphernalia of our current regiments, would the other...

    Sexual Assault & Sexual Misconduct in the CF

    Or the lash. Some things stick in your memory. I recall reading a contemporary newspaper report (late 1960s) of what I think was the last use of whipping as punishment. If I recall correctly, it was for rape; in addition to the prison sentence, he was to receive 20 lashes, half when he...

    Bridges & Equipment of an Engineering Regiment

    My post was a response to @Kirkhill's suggestion that M3s be acquired and positioned in each province just in case they "might be useful" if there was a civilian disaster situation that required some sort of wet gap crossing capability. My opinion is that the military should acquire, position...
