    Ady Gil Loses Bow to Japanese Whaling Vessel

    From watching the Whale Wars tv show, it was stated that the Japanese claim the whales they are killing are for scientific research. After the research is done the Japanese admit to selling the whale meat as it is no longer needed. My question to put out there is how many whales do you need to...

    Ady Gil Loses Bow to Japanese Whaling Vessel

    Agreed. I like whales, and they havent really done anything all that bad to me, but to risk lives and ram ships is just plain insane. The Sea Sheppard group getting themselves killed won't change a darn thing.

    Finish Highschool before you enlist into reg force. If you are planning on attending university there are some plans that may help you out either reg or reserve. I would reccomend starting out with the reserves, it may help your family ease into the idea of a soldier in the family. As a reserve...

    How to Maintain Skills and Unit Cohesion while on PRes Shutdown

    If you are looking for realism, nothing beats Hanks and Speilsberg. The entire Band of Brothers series following the 101st Airborne division during WWII is quite realistic and involves several accurate recreations of real battles. They start training just after the Pearl Harbor attack and the...

    When you are lying on your deathbed do you really want to think what if? If you wife is behind you and you have the desire... you NEED to go for it. Just make yourself and your wife a promise that no matter how shitty things get, how horrible BMQ seems you will under no circumstances give up...

    Chosing a reserve unit

    I cant say for sure, but my advice would be to try it. Give their respective recruiters a call and ask them directly if they wouldn't mind taking you on for a parade night.  If they don't allow that, then just set up a meeting with the recruiters to talk to them and use your judgement to get a...

    Finally going for it

    I have a huge update to announce. I was able to get in touch with the medical officer for my recruiting centre. Apparently mental illness backgrounds are screened very heavily before enlistment is allowed. I was pretty disappointed, but recent bloodwork showed some anomalous readings. After...

    Finally going for it

    Thats what the recruiter said. Enlisments are up a fair bit around Christmas time then lul in spring. So there is a bit of a wait when you apply around Christmas time.

    Applied to the Army

    Don't worry about the H1N1 too much. I know for a fact that your body hasn't forgotten how to work. Aditionally even just building the muscle that you have will burn more calories at rest than going to the gym when you were still overweight. (I'm not a doctor, but I read that in a fitness...
