    CH-148 Cyclone Progress

    ezbeatz: Somehow I missed this thread - here's a repeat of what I said over on the Helicopters thread: You do realize that you are arguing with CF airmen who have thousands of hours of flying experience, don't you? I spent four years jumping out of military aircraft - and I have never...

    Helicopters and Money

    ezbeatz: You do realize that you are arguing with CF airmen who have thousands of hours of flying experience, don't you? I spent four years jumping out of military aircraft - and I have never considered that that experience gave me any insight into flying the damned things - I was just happy...

    How to get family on board

    If it makes you feel any better - I'm 49, and my sister is 52 - and she STILL thinks that she's "Mom Minor".  She was (and remained) adamantly opposed to my career choice (she is a granola crunchin' refugee from the '60s) - and yet raised her children to look up to and respect Uncle Roy.  Funny...

    Todd and Sarah Palin to divorce

    He used them against the Iranians during the '80 - '88 war.  I saw the results. He also used them against his own people - although I was not a personal witness to the aftermath there.

    "Unofficial" Armoured Corps Song

    Just to save you some grief - Sr NCOs (and WOs) NEVER "overindulge" - they simply drink the "required amount".  ;) Your story (and song) is an interesting one - best of luck running it down.

    Scottish sniper claims longest kill of Afghanistan war

    I hear ya'. On the OTHER hand - some folks just exist within their "own world" - in his case - the UK Army.  In my case - Craftsman and Shaker furniture reproduction.  (I can bore you for hours on the subject - by the time your eyes have glazed over, I've got a certified cheque from your...

    Scottish sniper claims longest kill of Afghanistan war

    Maybe he just doesn't know about Rob Furlong's shot. Either way - an impressive kill - and one to be proud of.

    joeye11svbn usless army triva thread

    joeye11svcbn: You've got one hell of an interest in "old stuff".  Are you an historian, perhaps? As far as the old wool socks go - I've still got a few pair that I wear on occasion - I suppose I could photograph some, but not a word to General Cox - the toe seam threads may not match.

    You should see what my DOG gets into on the internet if I don't watch her every minute! Those house pets - they're out to frame all of us. I'm just glad I don't have a gerbil!  ;)

    Decompression in Cyprus - various aspects, updates (merged)

    In the '70s I worked as unskilled labour in oil camps in northern Alberta.  I was surrounded by young guys stuck in the bush for weeks on end, making obscene amounts of money.  When we hit town (whatever town that may have been - MacMurray, Edmonton, Calgary, whatever) - most of us quickly went...

    If America adopts Canada's health care system

    I think the argument breaks down something along the following: Both the US and Canadian systems treat "catastrophic" medical emergencies.  The Canadian system does not "bill" the recipient, thus causing financial hardship for the patient.  The exception in the US, of course, is for those who...

    RECENTLY TOOK THE CFAT

    Your post will be removed - you'll at least be introduced to the warning ladder - and you will have broken the first commitment you ever made to the CF.  Not exactly a great start - either here on Army.ca (cyberspace) or the CF (the real world). Just don't.
