    I never had a Nintendo...kinda bugged me later on when i saw people using their 4 Nintento systems as a table for their super Nintendo. My brother and I woke up on Christmas '89 to find an Atari 8700...it was cool, but it wasn't a Nintendo (even though it was newer and better, we were...

    pt gear?

    Purell rules, you can get it in those little bottles that you can barely feel in your pocket. When you're in the field, it's very convenient for hygiene after whizzing or dumping, or before a meal. You are given foot powder in St.Jean, it comes in a blue and white bottle, and it is useless...

    Tag Stories

    Ah yes, good ol' tagging. The first scary-ish experience I had while tagging was back when I was a Navy League Cadet. Another lad and myself were parked in front of a bi-way and the weather was nice. This fellow, who I'd estimate to be in his early twenties, and a fair bit larger than I was at...

    Pope's death brought something to my mind...

    I think it would be in poor taste for someone to say "pray for the pope's health, and for nobody else!" however, a far more common thing that I hear is stuff along the lines of "pray for those in need, especially the pope, those in Darfur...etc." This doesn't mean that you're ignoring those who...

    Question RE: IAP

    I was on IAP last summer, and it was 9 weeks. I think that the actual training could be done in eight weeks, but with all the administrative stuff at the beginning and end of the course, IE getting issued your kit, returning a bunch of it at the end, filling out paperwork, getting your ID...

    who is this

    I think the distance from his weapon is forgiveable given the hole digging prowess this individual displays, and the beauty of the dirt he's working with.

    toronto police take out armed guy with a cop car pretty cool

    Perhaps I did not come across clearly. I recognize that they are authorized to use firearms and therefore lethal force in such a situation, however I'm quite sure investigations are launched whenever an officer uses a firearm, which is a widely known standard procedure. Had they injured or...

    toronto police take out armed guy with a cop car pretty cool

    That could be considered excessive force. Sure, he had a knife, and I understand that the use of force is certainly warranted in cases where there is danger to the police and/or public. But if you watch the video, that was quite a violent impact, and had that video been broadcast on the news...

    Asbestos in our submarines

    "'To suggest that asbestos was one of the components that burned in the Chicoutimi fire is pure speculation until the board has presented its analysis,' he said." Please correct me if i'm mistaken, but isn't asbestos used primarly, if not solely for its fire retardant/proof properties? Does it...

    Running: Training, Problems, Techniques, Questions, etc

    I've got a bit of a problem when I run. I have aches in the inner arches of both feet, and the outside of my right foot. I may just need new shoes, but I think I may need to get special insoles or something. I felt this last summer when I was on course (IAP), but I toughed it out. I've been...
