Love this thread. This is a bit of a biased forum for this topic, but one that I support wholeheartedly. I'll use the quote that I shouted at my platoon when I taught basic last summer: "your friends are out doing construction, working at McDonald's this summer; you are shooting machine guns...

...And to think the CWO was happy to see a cupholder on his new computer, wait till he sees this! ...More reason to want to do and OT to clerk ... the first computer that will give YOU the virus after using it

And I told you, the fish was "this" big

Von Garvin, you are right, nobody wants a fight, but when you get pushed too far, you fight back. To quote my favorite book of all time:"doesn't matter whether it's a thousand — or just one, sir. You fight" Johnny Rico to Lt-Col Dubois. IM me if you do not know the book

Gonna toss in my $0.02 (can't find the cents symbol on my computer)  200 Civvies killed in Lebanon 12 Civvies killed in Israel. umm, why.  I know that Israel has better guns, planes and missiles, but they also have more accurate guns, missiles and planes. Could it be that Israel knows that...

My real concern here is the battle for public opinion that is being played in Europe and North America.  Israel is the only "home" of the Jewish nation. There are a lot of very powerful people around the world, some that control massive empires, that are Jewish.  No matter what happens in the...

No matter what course you are in, no matter what level you are trying to acheave, there has been people that have done it before, and guess what,  They are the ones that are teaching you what to do next.  Anyone who has been an instructor has had one of "those" moments.  Let me explain to...

As an instructor, you see some neat things as you stand on the other side of the classroom. We instructors know when someone is a cadet in the first few days.  Know how long it takes to no longer be able to tell the former cadets from the keen troops?  One week.  Assides from drill classes and...

Just wanted to start a forum for people to tell there interesting stories, rants, praises and feelings of their courses of the summer of '05. Heres one to get started:     Sgt: hey Pte____, where is your weapon?     Pte: The other Sgt took it away because he said I had an ND (Negligent...

That was great, some of the funniest stories that I have heard in a long time. Can't leave without one of my own: MCpl: Troops, I cannot give you pushups as a punisment, but I can give them as a reward,  and I am now going to give you the reward of upper body strength Troops to 25 pushups...

As a recruiter and an instructor, I know both sides of the story.  The units are responsible for their own attraction and recruiting, and the recruiting center is responsible for processing.  The disconnect is that CO's of units and the recruiting centers care only for numbers.  Once we stop...

Do not think about what to do, where to go and what you will do on this course, the instructors will tell you what do do, where to go and what you will do. Just show up with all your kit, be ready to work and pay attention. BMQ/SQ Chilliwack course staff, summer 2005

This may be a no brainer, but I have more ziplock bags and bungee cords with me that you think that I am going to start a water baloon war with indirect fire. The only civvy kit that I carry is a good pair of thinsulat sock from MEC and 3 or 4 powerbars for the middle of a foot patrol.  Nothing...

Well, we just got the tac vest at the drill hall today (yes, there is a Canada on the other side of the rockies)  and to read the posts I am just downright depressed.  I just hope that it is a better system for riding in vehicles.  As armour recce, I am in and out of the truck all the time, and...
