Nice link. Your buddy will find out if they apply for the CF.

The Airborne was disbanded after the Somalia incident. I understood it best when I read "The Sharp End: A Soldiers Story" by James R. Davis. I highly recommend the book to you, because it can answer your question about the disbanding of the paratroopers quite well.

Are you in college or university? The Air Force accepts applicants who've done a college aviation program, but it might be different for other college programs. If you have college training, I know that you can get university transfer credits. If you haven't applied now... do it. That's the...

I just finished my undergraduate degree in English and Mathematics. I can imagine that it wouldn't be no cake-walk to do it while you're in the CF. It will probably be easier to apply through the RMC, ROTP or DEO programs. If you go CEOTP, maybe do a year or two of university to make it easier...

I know an Air Canada pilot, and he says that military experience doesn't always guarantee an airliner job. Military people are sometimes turned away because civilians can get a lot more flying hours logged. He says they used to like hiring ex-fighter pilots, but they rarely do as of now...

Sorry for asking. Kind of echoes your offensive statements on the "Dreams" forum a month back.  >:(

Sorry, I don't know anyone with asthma, but I have a good friend with horrible knees, and he wore knee braces from grades 7 to 10. His lifelong dream was to be at RMC, so he exercised as best he could, and went through a frustrating year this past year (especially with the family doctor) in...

That video is garbage... it's not worth mentioning on this site.

Go any Canadian team go!!! Even if the leafs win, I will be happy as hell.  :D

Apex... my eyes are much better than 20/20, I just earned my 4-year honours B.A. from the University of Totonto in English and Mathematics... and still, I've been waiting more than 11 months to do my medical and interview because my recruitment centre hasn't yet gathered my previous medical...

I'm a Habs fanatic, but heck, it's been so long that I'll cheer for ANY Canadian team that makes it far into the Stanley Cup playoffs... Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa... GO EVERY CANADIAN TEAM GO!!

Wow, I'm suddenly proud of my 5 km in under 17 minutes since my last race. Three guys beat me, but oh well. Keep up the good work boys, you're making me look good. :D

Hey Sappo, I like to get out a few times during the season for small game. I live in the GTA, and I found that a few public hunting places like Luther Marsh, Scugog Island and Ganaraska Forest are o.k. if you hunt them right. Message back if you're interested.

Centurian1985.... those are good things to know for recruits to the CF wanting to know the difference between Army and Air Force. Thanks.

Thanks exsemjingo. When I used the Mat. 17:3 and Lazarus example I wasn't regarding them as dreams, but replying to your quotation: "My Christianity says once someone is dead, they do not come back or communicate with the living." I didn't quote in the first place, so it's my bad. You're...

Matthew 17:3 says that Christ met with the deceased Moses and Elijah. Lazarus came back from the dead too. So did Christ. To StevenPreece: I think some of us are interested in your original thread. What do you mean by "Ninja"? Does this have anything to do with Shinto beliefs? Myself, I am...

Great past and future world-leaders like John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Prince William and Henry Mountbatten-Windsor all have something in common... military training. If Alexandre Trudeau was allowed to be in a position to speak out against the CF, he should then have had the experience to serve his...

Watching CBC today, it seems that some of the surviving soldiers don't blame the A-10 pilot(s) at all, and actually feel sorry for them. This is a rough situation, but I think most people (I hope all) agree that an American pilot would never choose to fire on friendly troops in the first place...

My favourites are the 1960's movies "Battle of Britain" and "Lawrence of Arabia". The 2000's "Band of Brothers" (not a movie, but close), "Saving Private Ryan" and "Jarhead" are just as sweet as the classics.

I've been waiting 11 months just to do ACS... and I'm still waiting for my local recruiting centre to receive my previous-service medical files. My recruiters are encouraging me to call them every week or so at this stage of the game. Hopefully things pan out and I can do ACS in the next month...
