Well, I get to break the news to my bubble-wrap father tomorrow (one day after swearing in). Wish me luck. For what it's worth, my mother was iffy, and still loses sleep over it, but she's been generally supportive, as has my brother (who was considering joining at one point himself).

I got the call! I start reserve BMQ on the 3rd of October, roughly a year after I started the process. EDIT: Actually, I got the call EXACTLY a year to the day after my contact interview. Recruiting Centre: Toronto Regular/Reserve: Reserve Officer/NCM: NCM Unit: 7th Toronto Regiment RCA...

As someone who supports the "No" side (and who incidentally is of Highland descent and is probably the only person registered to Army.ca who speaks passable Scottish Gaelic), on principle I would remind you that economics isn't everything. The tendency of both socialists and neoliberals to...

Don't know where you're getting this. According to the polls I've seen, the Highlands and Islands are split with advantage to the NO side. As far as I can tell, the SNP is largely a creature of the urbanites to the south that make up most of the Scottish population.

I would say Al Qaeda is operating in spite of, rather than because of, the Saudi monarchy. Iran is a republican dictatorship, not a monarchy, and it just so happens to be an Islamic republic that appeared after the Shah was deposed, so hardly the thing I am advocating (in fact, pretty close to...

I'd like to put my 2 cents in and say that a "30 Years War" is exactly the opposite of what the Middle East needs. That would open up exactly the same Pandora's box as it did in Western society (materialism, related revolutionary bloodbaths in search of earthly utopia and mass secular ideologies...

The very thought of Rabble.ca makes my blood pressure shoot up.

Bomb

I have two degrees as well. Your point?

Blackhawk  ;D

Any from Wales?

Quant au PT, quand j'ai fait le test physique (géré directement par les recruteurs de réserve), l'un des sergents nous a dit qu'il faudra courir 5km chaque matin pendant la QMB. Il a dit également qu'on serait requis de faire des push-up "à diamant" comme dans cette vidéo, mais avec les mains...

Wow, looks like some kind of crazy truther site or something.

Insufferable.

I was told by my recruiter that there are some officer positions available and I believe they are actively looking for an artillery officer (I was offered the position, more or less, but I decided to go NCM).

I'm trying to get a real civilian job (I'm a reserves applicant) at the same time, so I'm "busy" with that, although I'm probably not doing enough on that front. On the side I've been on a several month long philosophy/theology binge in my spare time (sure beats paying out of my buttcrack to...

'Cept done deliberately, you give them too much credit.  ;D Roman executioners were pretty good at making people dead. Those mysterious ethereal Israeli missiles could take a few tips from them, it would appear...

It's called "La Voie du succès" (The Path of Success). Found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1G7MLer1G8

I just realised now that there is a second (earlier) French season. For some reason they gave it a different name so it never turned up when I searched for it.

Is this trollery? You've been reading this article haven't you? http://www.duffelblog.com/2014/01/marines-religious-freedom/#!bCivE6
