I am pretty sure that's against RoE for a med tech to be wearing the internationally recognized red cross on his arm and participating as a combatant (unless he changes uniform?). This was especially seen in the Gaza strip as militants from Hamas used a single ambulance to escape a battle and...

One of the things people don't know about fruit that ends up with them not eating enough fruit is the fact that the sugar in the fruit is actually good sugar. Let me explain: Normally, when you add sugar to something it's pure sugar and it goes straight into your system and it's bad for you...

Looks good, the only thing I would suggest is changing the three eggs a day thing. Change the three eggs to maybe two unbroken eggs or maybe three egg whites. Unbroken eggs actually have far less cholesterol in them because of the way they are processed in the body. The recommended cholesterol...

No, I was told he could transfer my file over to Int Op if I wanted but I told him I was just inquiring. I am positive I am not in the "Skilled" category either.

I am pretty positive that reserves get the same training as regulars (maybe not the same quality in terms of obstacle courses). The people training the reserves are usually from what I have heard the older reservists and soldiers from the regulars. So if a regular ever says a reservist has bad...

That's not what I was told, but hey you could be right and the recruiter could be wrong.

What? "*Note: Although they are non-combatants under the Geneva conventions, Medical Technicians deployed on operations bear arms to defend both their patients and themselves." Source: http://www.forces.ca/flash.aspx#/flash/en/video_link/_VIDEOS/737_en.flv

My original post before the edit was saying how I liked you reply. Also, to clear up a point I am not talking about killing people himself as part of his job. I believe he disagrees on it as a whole of the entire military. How the hell can you do any job in the military if you don't support...

Well, supply tech but I believe there are two kinds of trades in general in the CF. Those who are in combat arms and those who support the combat arms. I think if your going to being supporting the people fighting you should be supporting them fully. EDIT: Never mind he deleted his post.

Talked to a recruiter today and he told me that Intelligence operator is  open for civvy's but the chance of being hired vs. someone with military experience is low. Also, as of October 31st two Intelligence Operator positions opened up for the Air Force and I believe those are the only two...

I have a friend who's joining the forces (Regulars) who completely disagrees with "killing" people. I've tried to talk to him but it's a bit odd for a person to say that and to be joining the military. If you can't agree with what all of the military does then you shouldn't be a part of it even...

Great video.

I would say that the bullet that hit him was fairly hostile, even if only to himself. Why can't we class this differently and solve the issue? Instead of classifying it by who your attacker was why don't we classify it by if the action was hostile. Would someone get the medal if they were...

Do you think this is an isolated case or widespread in the ANA?

Absolutely ridiculous, the man's story has so many plot holes it's ridiculous. By Canadian law even if she was intoxicated (and apparently under the effects of a concussion) she was not in the correct state of mind to deciding to have sex or not. Why did Savage enter the ladies washroom to...

If I am not mistaken I think the CF might have new policies that are more friendly towards laser eye surgery in an article on forces.ca about a month ago. Correct me if I am wrong personally I disagree with laser eye surgery since your eyes get even worse later on usually.

I'd disagree on the losing weight doing nothing but eating your diet unless it's one of those silly Doctor's diets with needles. But yes, Big Macs are the devil and only super freaks with crazy metabolism can eat them on a regular basis (ex. the guy who has eaten over 10,000 big macs in his life...

It is different for everyone depending on how much weight they need to lose but eventually you'll hit a brick wall where your body won't change anymore unless you start diet. Right now, for my weight and exercise daily according to a metabolism calculator I would need to eat about 3,400...

Wow, that sucks a lot sorry to hear that. Keep positive though and I am sure you'll turn it around.
