Between Para's comments and this gem above, I'm in a great mood. Thanks, needed that.  "Big Rock" ;D

Congrats Pearson. I'm curious, are you joining the PPCLI? Not to rain on your parade but I have to admit, reading your post brought up mixed feelings. I'm pleased for you, but personally I'm frustrated. My job offer was March 16. As I'm a retread, I had to have a PLAR which resulted in a BMQ...

::)

Recently, certain usage of military terminology was brought to my attention in a capacity that was out of context. Life coaches, personal growth advocates, multi-layered marketing types use positive language to support their products and services. Military parlance appears to be favoured, in...

http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htweap/articles/20060607.aspx These are a few excerpts from the article posted to the website cited above. I'm unfamiliar with this site, therefore I am uncertain as to the validity of the contents. I was unable to find a second reference to corroborate these...

This is something that came up in conversation recently: "What if the CFRC was privatized?" What are the pros and cons? What are the realities and the difficulties involved with implementing such an drastic organizational change? Why could this work? Why couldn't it? What would be the costs...

Those Aussies and their crazy notions eh  ;D

Should have granted his release, saved a lot of trouble; no fanfare. For what it's worth; I agree with Trinity & Infanteer. He made a decision, took an action and is remaining to face the consequences. Fair enough. Could it have been handled quieter? Of course, but that doesn't seem to be the...

Which one are you again?  ::)

FutureTroop... Honestly, I don't mean to offend; but shut up and suck it up! Buddy, I'd practically give a nut to be where you are currently. Do I emphathize with your routine of Borden, sure. Been there, as have many. Hell, I was stuck in Meaford bored out of my mind, Borden seemed like Vegas...

Do you have a good, thick book?  ;D Honestly, the process is a bitch. Some see it as a test of your will, others, just the bureaucracy in action, one that you may become intimate with in time. Currently, it is as it is but chances are you'll be on your way by the Fall if not sooner, and in...

What the hell, I'm not doing anything productive right now anyway. Acheo - Aside from the above mentioned factors of time & training for the CF, etc. Assuming that something like border recon was initiated. It would have to be at the behest of the police forces, etc. Even then, the mission...

Medical issues  ::) You can waste a lot of time sorting out that nonsense these days. Whatever happened to that 21st century, no paper, fast communications thing? I know, signatures on everything, got it.  ;D

In regards to Canada's "porous" border into the US. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't US border security the domain of the US Homeland Security Forces? Too many comments above have already said what needs to be said. Next topic.

Teddy, I think that's the first time I've noticed an after market sight (what's that, an EOTech?) such as you have on an AK. Nice mod. Cheers...

I gave his profile a look, wondered at the Gagetown reference as well and agree with Wes. He has a website link that leads to a page of teen BMXers: http://www.clearlanddirtjumpers.piczo.com/?cr=1&rfm=y And in one of the links we find this: (I enjoy the dog in Camo)  ;D...

Commercials at the movies are a right pain; honestly, how many loud adverts for cars do I need to see prior to the film and as for the plugs for the theatre itself... I'm already sitting in the seat! But this latest series highlighting the beauty of Canada as brought to us by (wait for it) car...

Seems that comes up often with regards to the Sigs, (first choice, but too much $$$, so we've gone w/ ********) Notice no one mentions the Smiths anymore eh?

Colin - Sorry, I didn't pick up on that, my bad. I blame my gf of course for neglecting to make coffee this morning. Recce - I was mistaken, once again, my bad. I'm 2 for 2 and it isn't even noon. I of course blame my gf for neglecting... ;D Small arms are my forté, the big noisy things that...

My wish list isn't compatible with current Canadian mores, so I'm SOL. Sig Sauer P229R - Yes, I want to play with all 3 calibre's. I'm dying to see what the .357 SIG is like. Ruger SP101 - Because I still have a soft spot for a small .357 5 shot revolver. FN FIVE-SEVEN - It's ugly, but I'm...
