    Mk III Combat Boots: Use, Maintenance & Other Stuff.

    What is the best way to break in new boots?  I did some running in them but that just gave me nice big blisters on my heels.  I can barely put my shoes on now.  Anyway, I'm leaving for my BMQ soon and don't want more of these blisters popping up (ha ha, sorry) then because that would really...

    Shirts folding technique

    it was so sad.  I showed this to my parents and sister and we just sat my in my basement figuring it out.  But that is a really cool technique.

    How Do You (or Did You) Decide on Your Career Path?

    As my signature says, 42 is the meaning of life (and "what do you get when you multipy 6 by 9" is the question).

    How Do You (or Did You) Decide on Your Career Path?

    It's just a given for me, even since I can remember I wanted to join the military.  I can't explain why, I just did. It's nice being able to answer this question and know that the people listening understand.  I know I've told my friends this and even someof their parents and most of them don't...

    Any one doing there BMQ this summer?

    My medical file took almost 6 months.  I sent in my forms as soon as I could get them and it reviewed it twice, but it took 9 months from when I handed in my application and when I was sworn in.

    Questions about joining the Reserves

    I handed in my application on my 16th birthday, they didnt swear me in for 8 months but still.  Is there any exception for peacekeeping missions to for example Bosnia?  I know reservists can go over there.  I don't know if it would be counted as a combat zone, or is it you can't be sent on tour...

    CADPAT Uniforms (distribution questions)

    When I went to get all my gear they gave us all CADPAT, but I know that the co-op reservists almost all have the olive drab.  I suppose that is because of what J. Gayson said.  It does make sense.  But the question is where is the cutoff where you get CADPAT.

    Favorite Military Film

    I don't know if you would count The Last Samurai as a war movie in the sense you are talking about but I found it rather good.  I take Aikido (a newer Japanese martial art) and I train with the Jos (wooden swords).  It was really interesting seeing how many moves I recognized.  Other than that I...

    Reselling Returned Underwear?!!

    Apparently some of these stores had no return policies on underwear, but allowed the returns because they want to keep good costomer relations.  I guess they figured they might as well resell it.  Plan kind of backfired though.

    Reselling Returned Underwear?!!

    Well that is what I decided to do as soon as I heard this interview.  Man, never going there again.  Thanks for the concern though.

    Any one doing there BMQ this summer?

    I'm leaving for Meaford, ON on June 26th.  Most of the people I know who have been there say the ground is mostly rock and digging there is so much fun.  They haven't been there in a while but I doubt it has changed.

    Reselling Returned Underwear?!!

    I was listening to the radio while driving and I think I was listening to CBC.   The host of the show was interviewing an investigative journalist who ran ABC's "Shame on You" segment.   Apperently this guy got a tip from a former employee of Victoria's Secret, NY,   who was saying that the...

    CBC Documentry on Airsoft in Canada *link to video inside*

    The other option is to just have the parents or an older sibling buy it for you.  I'm 16 right now and I have had 2 paintball guns.  My parents bought both and now they are mine.  I could probably ask them for an airsoft as well but I want to play the game before I make any purchase.  The other...

    Romeo Dallaire Speech In Kitchener

    On Friday at St. Jerome's College in Waterloo Romeo Dallaire gave teh best speech I have ever heard anywhere.   He spoke about his experiences in Rwanda and its relation to the world.   One of his key points was the question "Are all humans equal, or are some more human than others?"   Not that...

    I concur with Jin's description of it. Just amazing.  I had a lot of fun.  Was anyone else there?

    Thumb Finger (REALLY OFF TOPIC)

    Not to mention we wouldn‘t be able to change channels on the remote. Imagine actually getting up to change channels. What would happen when the political debates or the other fine programs on tv. ;)

    The Paintball Over The Years Thread

    As I said on the first page I‘m going to flag raiders this Sunday for Pheonix Project and it is basically a seven hour game. You play untill you‘re tired or run out of money. It‘s a scenario game so there is a minor storyline. This one is the counter drug wars in Columbia so you play as...

    Thumb Finger (REALLY OFF TOPIC)

    Is that a pun I see. If it is I‘ll give you two thumbs up. hahahaha. Sorry. Another thing to ponder is how can you have a middle finger when there is an even number of fingers. Therefore the thumb is a finger.

    The Paintball Over The Years Thread

    Going paintballing with Jin in a week for Pheonix Project. It is so much fun (7 hours). Unfortunatly the last PP my marker was stolen (Piranha G2 with a bottom line and expansion chamber with a dot scope). It really sucked getting it stolen. I got a new marker for christmas (Piranha G3 BTL...
