    Canadian Olympic Team Support - Paint the Town Red

    I understand where you're coming from, but ... Red is the vibrant colour of our national flag - it is natural that all who wish to show support for any national agenda of any kind would be called upon to wear red. What would you have the COC do - ask supporters of the Olympics to wear...

    egy - I am not the expert, and we'll probably have to wait for Mike to get a definitive answer.  However, a couple of things come to mind: I don't know what browser you're using, but IE, Firefox, and Safari all have the ability to "remember" your login info and fill it in for you. ...

    What should I bring on BMQ, Contact lense or glasses ?

    Not always an option.  And EXPENSIVE. People have been "fumbling around" with glasses for centuries now.

    All things joining the military (but not wanting to deploy) - merged

    WAY back, I requested to not go on a tour. Our youngest son was born VERY pre-mature - he weighed less than 2 lbs when born (in 1985 - when the technology was VERY good, but not quite what it is now), and spent the first three months of his life in the ICU.  After we brought him home, he didn't...

    What should I bring on BMQ, Contact lense or glasses ?

    Glasses are a pain in the butt - no doubt about it.  I've been wearing them since I was 12.  For reasons I don't understand (not that I've ever researched it in any way - I just took the word of the various optometrists and opthamologists I've seen over the years), contact lenses are not a...

    How are Chaplains perceived by other CF members?

    For me personally, someone who has had his mind basically brainwashed to blindly NOT believe in a faith, is NOT the person I would run to for advice. Your statement cuts both ways.  I have no confidence in people who believe OR disbelieve anything blindly.  I have a LOT of time for folks who...

    How are Chaplains perceived by other CF members?

    Why hire "general counselors", when you get that function PLUS the religious aspect in the same package? Frankly - even as an atheist - I have MUCH more time for Padres than I do for Social Workers who attempt to serve a similar function. The Padres (and civilian ministers) I've met seem to...

    How are Chaplains perceived by other CF members?

    I LEARNED some great curses from Chaplains!  One of my favourite Padre stories involves being on exercise in the mid-eighties.  At that time, exercises were lengthy affairs, with complete tent cities being set up, including messes, kitchen, etcetera.  In the unit I was with at the time, it was...

    How are Chaplains perceived by other CF members?

    I am not a religious man in any way, shape, or form.  And I'm not shy about it.  Neither do I push my views in anybody's face. During my career, I invariably found the Chaplains to be great guys, who were genuinely concerned with the troops well-being, and who worked hard to assist individuals...

    IBTS

    Reading between the lines - it appears that, as his instructor, you don't think he's been properly trained (for whatever reason - lack of time being the reason you seized upon). The other's have brought up valid questions (initial or refresher training).  I want to know why, if you - as his...

    Knee Braces

    Good point.  I know that various sport shoe stores (The Running Room, The Footlocker, amongst others) used to offer an analysis of your gait - either free or for a low fee.  I went once and it helped considerably - the way I had been running had been hurting my back for years.  Once I mastered...

    Format of Memos

    I have exactly the same memories, and have reached the same conclusion regarding my knowledge of military administration. Are you my evil twin?  (Or, perhaps - I am YOUR evil twin!)
