    Buglers and trumpeters

    Geez!  You poor wee buglers.  At least you got to wear gloves while you played in sub-zero temperatures.  ;)  Try playing a snare drum at -20F!  (Hall Beach NWT, ’82)  Your hands rapidly become crude clubs, then…  SNAP!  Now ya got nuthin’ to hit!  Just a few scraps of drum skin flappin’ in the...

    The 2008 Canadian Election- Merged Thread

    I could consider this a possibility except for the fact the the Conservative team has already admitted complicity citing, "an overzealous Web designer" ( http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080909.welxnmain10/BNStory/politics/ )* *Sorry, don't know how to insert links.

    The 2008 Canadian Election- Merged Thread

    I somewhat disagree, Kirkhill. Re: the Chretién speech impediment ad, I believe that people were more outraged at what they percieved as the Conservatives 'making fun of' an unfortunate physical impediment.  Whereas the "Pooping Puffin" ad looks like an amateurish homemade YouTube® chuckle...

    Georgia and the Russian invasions/annexations/Lebensraum (2008 & 2015)

    Ummm...  I'm no military genius, but if the ABM birds are in the air, doesn't that presuppose that they are the "counter attack"? Oops, beat me to it Koenigsegg   ;D

    Commonly Confused Word Test

    Of course.  TQ4 Elocution was an extra two weeks tacked on to our TQ3INF at depot in London in '78.  Or was it TQ4 Arctic Warfare?  *mutters something about aluminum mess tins...*

    Military still struggling in Arctic

    And that, in my opinion, is a crying shame.  The CF, as an institution, has lost some of its flexability if it cannot even conduct ops on all areas of its own soil.  The Innu trainers (Rangers) that I worked with way back when, were indeed masters of their environment, and the tips and tricks...

    Military still struggling in Arctic

    Good Lord yes.  The Arctic Warfare TQ4 was part of my Inf TQ3 in '78.  (Dec. '78 to Mar. '79 London 1RCR)  So, when we graduated, we already had the TQ4 qual.  Of course then, the focus was on combating the ravening Soviet hordes that would be assaulting Hall Beach NWT.  (...

    Damn.  Sorry to see wilsfarm opt for that particular way out.  I was following this thread with some interest.  What I like about this site is that it gives everybody a chance to present their arguments as long as they remain within the realm of fact or, if not fact, opinion backed up by study. ...

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    And so we find ourselves on the slippery slope.  I received the following letter today from the Sûreté du Québec.  Let me begin by saying that I am perfectly capable of complying with this (seemingly) innocuous request as I am a member of a range and I can certainly photocopy my card and mail it...

    Briton admits planning to behead Muslim soldier

    You're in fine form tonight Wes.  ;D This story just creeps me out.  How sick can people get?  Perhaps more importantly, how sick can people be induced to behave?  These guys were going to murder, by slow beheading, on camera, a person, simply because this person decided to actively participate...
