Yep, Fort York. We do indeed train on Tuesdays, mainly classroom and parade stuff I think.

The TDSB is at it again! http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/white-privilege-workshop-stirs-controversy-1.2794263 This photo sums it up: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3b/Paris_Tuileries_Garden_Facepalm_statue.jpg

Well, that stinks. I didn't remember hearing a Pte Holland being called at any point, so that explains it. Good luck anyway.

I'm going to necro this thread, sorry. I was one of the very few people given tan boots at my ongoing BMQ course, and sure enough I already have scuffs on the toes. My section commander pretty much up and stated that he had no idea what to do with them in terms of polishing (apparently they...

In discussion of radical Islam, and several times while reading this thread, I have noticed the trend of loading up a proverbial sawed-off shotgun and sending scatter shot haphazardly in the general direction of monotheistic worldviews (read: Christianity). It is important to note the...

I'm reading "Aquinas" by Ed Feser. Neo-Aristotelean metaphysics and whatnot. Yes, because I'm that sort of geek. Don't laugh, a lot of the most influential philosophers were soldiers. Paraphrasing C.S. Lewis, a soldier can never be in a situation of "contented worldliness", since he is always...

I stopped caring what the current version of the League of Nations has to say a long time ago.

Does this guy even have a clue?

I had a few broken bones in my history (hairline fractures in my wrist and finger) and I passed medical. In my case the guy asked about sprains as well (I once sprained my ankle back in junior high).

As I said, I was pointing out that whether or not there have been cases of such a thing in the past is irrelevant to whether or not it is a good idea, and has no bearing on my central point. We're going nowhere here. Something tells me this is not just an unintended side-effect.  ;D

That there have been cases does not mean that it should be encouraged. This train of thought is simply a non sequitur. My statement did not allow for "dreamers" because it didn't concern them. I think it was quite clear that I was talking about people who made a conscious decision to break the...

I don't think that's a useful precedent, especially when its a question of letting people into the military (not just any old place) who effectively gave the middle finger to the country's laws, during a downsizing period. The whole thing seems utterly bizarre to me, and I can see why some...

I'm pretty sure those foreigners entered the country legally and respected the laws and processes necessary to do so.

Bomb them into glass. That's my two cents. For those whose français is lacking, a translation:

Solvent.

Congratulations. See you there!

I heard about that. Wonder if they ever caught the psycho. EDIT: Upon further research, it appears that the story was a fabrication.

Well, it went better than expected, aside his initial belief that the Reserves were full of illiterate, alcohol/drug-addicted ex-cons, and that I would be attacked or stabbed on the subway due to the uniform. Was it like that in the 70s or something?  ;D

Good luck! I swear in this evening.

So, anyone else here doing reserve BMQ on October 3 in Toronto?
