    American Exiled to Canada for Sex Offenses

    Now why would the reporter say it may not be criminal here? Watson is a teacher, he had sex with a minor age student = criminal behaviour under our laws, even according to the info that directly follows the reporter's statement. Ahh, maybe I'm just being too picky about wording. It's...

    American Exiled to Canada for Sex Offenses

    Ridiculous or not, I disagree with the idea of exile to a specific location, . Exile means "you are not allowed to stay here" and he can find his own place to go. He can go home to his family, if we allow him in, or if not he can go to Trinidad, or Indonesia , or wherever he can find a home. His...

    American Exiled to Canada for Sex Offenses

    It's one thing for a Judge to exile him. It's another entirely to exile him TO CANADA. Exile to Canada has some implications about our country I don't like; that we would overlook the offence and allow him in, that we would somehow be bound to enforce the US order of "not leaving Canada for...

    Reservists in AFG (merged)

    The are other elements there too...I know NavRes has sent people over in the past and at least 1 NavRes is currently with the PRT. I think he is from HMCS Chippewa? (Might be wrong about that.)

    Elbow Strengthening

    I have something very similar...I describe it as a "popping" in the elbow that seems to happen at the bottom of a push up. It's uncomfortabe for a few minutes and then disappears. I asked after this as well. One person suggested that as strength around the elbow increased, this may disappear...

    Future of ATHENA: Manning issues & LAV III upgrades

    What do they pay?  ;D You're right though, I made a sweeping generalization from two posters opinions.

    Future of ATHENA: Manning issues & LAV III upgrades

    The idea that you can be accepted into one trade and then be arbitrarily trained in another seems a bit dishonest, and a bit desperate. I see issues of unit morale and individual disatisfaction here.  I wonder what the media impact would be if they got their teeth into it. The plug and play...

    Finally did it: 5 in 25

    "Not like to" is an understatement. Started hill training week and a half ago. I'm sucking wind so hard halfway up, I think the vacuum I create ahead of me is helping suck me up the hill  ;D

    Age Limits to Join

    Thanks for the response. BZ to the guy in your unit. I was more thinking about interest, if there were many older applicants for such a physically demanding end of the CF. Your right about the ability to keep up. I'd be more concerned about the ability to "bounce back" from the punishment of...

    Age Limits to Join

    Not too sure where to put this, Mods feel free to move this around. I'm wondering if there are many mature recruits going into Cbt Arms. I'm talking 40's or 50's. I have heard of many CSS or operator type personnel enlisting at mature ages, but Cbt Arms was new to me. I was at the Veterans...

    Medical Screening By Family Doc

    Medical Screening By Family Doc

    Doesn't this happen at some level now? When I went for my medical, I was screened by a tech then given a form with questions and medical testing instructions to take to my family doc and eye doc. Seems like the civvie docs did most of my med workup. I was also told these were standard for my...

    Finally did it: 5 in 25

    The best advice I ever got , (other then to keep at it) was to deliberatly run slower then I thought I could run at first. Work on distance at first, and not speed. This helps adjust the body to running, and builds an fitness base. Once I started doing that, my mental attitude about runs changed...

    Afghanistan: Why we should be there (or not), how to conduct the mission (or not) & when to leave

    Your welcome. Web sources with extreme right or left views always make me suspicious. Information, or misinformation, can be a weapon too, and the web is a cheap delivery system.
