    Giving in to terrorist demands-Why?

    I often think to myself that western infidels should do little giving unto as they have been given, if you know what I mean.  This always brings with it some moral and ethical questions (treat others as you expect want to be treated, and all that stuff).  But I'm really starting to think that...

    Giving in to terrorist demands-Why?

    I'm dismayed that some countries are caving in to terrorist tactics.  First Spain, then Honduras and Dom Rep.  Now the Philippines is giving in.  It's easy for me to criticize, giving that I don't have a personal stake in the situation, but I still have a hard time believing that these...

    "So You Want To Be A Pilot" Merged Thread 2002 - 2018

    So you want to become an Officer, do ya? Hints to help

    Good post!   This should be stickied with the recruiting FAQ.   About the cover letter and resume.   I think it's a good idea.   Although, even though I had them with me during my interview, I got the impression that it would be better not to whip it out (the resume I mean   :o).   Only...

    What a complete putz.  His statements are so contradictory that it's funny.

    The Cdn. Military Police - Time - Date - Place - I Was - I Saw - I Did

    Don't doubt that!   I'm a little confused though (some of the acronyms are unclear to me), the officer and NCOs that were woken up weren't members of the Provost Corps (correct term?), were they?   That's why I think the LT would have told the Provost to grow some brass ones.   Too bad the other...

    CF Employment Application

    I think that before you use whiteout you should check with the CFRC (when you actually drop it off should suffice!).  Sometimes documents are not acceptable with whiteout on them and it is preferable that you just strike out the error with a single line and initial it.  Then fill in the correct...

    So, if I were a betting man.....US Deserters in Canada

    I won't be pleased if they are allowed to stay in Canada.   I think that there is a very good chance the Canadian gov will ship them back to the US.   Sure, draft dodgers were given refuge in Canada before, but that statement itself indicates the big difference here--draft.   These current low...

    New Compulsory Retirement - 60 years

    I have to agree with portcullisguy.  I believe that one of the reasons people choose the CF for a career is the possibility of retiring after 20 years of service.  If the changes go through as Inch suggests above, then quite a few people who enrolled under the assumption of 20 years are going to...

    Sophie Levesque

    Don't recall her married name.  Completed Reserves GMT together in '91 in a mixed platoon of CHO, GGFG, and 30RCA.  Sophie went on to RMC and graduated in '97 as EME.  Any leads, please PM me. Thanks!

    Anyone else time travelling??

    Maybe he could try adjusting the time and date on his computer to see if that makes a difference.  If it does, that would be a starting point at resolving his problem.

    The Cdn. Military Police - Time - Date - Place - I Was - I Saw - I Did

    I think that the officer and NCOs were something royally pissed at being woken up for such a cockeyed reason and would have told the Provost to grow some brass ones.   Why would all three need to be woken up for this?   Why not just one of them? However, since it's regulations and it was a...

    Mike, I know this isn't helpful at all, but.... how's he going to read your message?  :blotto:

    New Compulsory Retirement - 60 years

    The increase in retirement age is for military members, not government bureaucrats.  Or am I missing some sort of ironic sarcasm here? ???

    Enhanced Reliability Check (ERC) - Merged

    Here's a link to an interesting article about how CSIS conducts Level III clearances.   The article is basically complaining about the process being outdated, but there is some good information in there about what is actually done. http://highspeed.rogers.com/news/national/story.jsp?cid=n071125A

    New Compulsory Retirement - 60 years

    Effective July 1, 2004 the mandatory compulsory retirement age is increased to 60.  Didn't see anything mentioned about a change in required pension service.  So, a good thing! http://www.forces.gc.ca/site/newsroom/view_news_e.asp?id=1405

    Best Coffee Joints

    In fact, donuts, etc. at Timmies are actually smaller.  I'm sure if you do a google search on it you'll see something about it.  There excuse was something along the lines of going back to their roots.  Something rather lame like that.  Timmies also no longer serves them fresh.  They actually...

    Best Coffee Joints

    If you're paying service fees everytime you use debit then you need to take a look at your account type and perhaps get a different one--or a different bank.  I personally do not like to carry any hard currency on my person at all.  In fact, I'm more likely to pay a service fee to get my hands...

    Favourite Military Books

    Yes, well in fact I was extremely disatisfied with his view of the Canadians, as well as several other aspects.  I was actually so annoyed about the author that I returned the book to the bookstore--something almost unheard of for me to do as I have well over 5000 books and tend to keep every...
