I don't see a problem with this statement for the military IS commonly referred to as the entitiy that fights for our (democratic) freedom (ref: Vets usually). The problem that I would have from it is the childishness of it. It's saying, in a more mature way, 'Yeah, well my daddy can beat up...

If you really want to do it but you are thinking that it may be insane, then you are only entertaining the idea of an 'easy out'.

So, by logical deduction, you do not need a flamethrower, bayonet, crossbow or anything else suggested in this thread. You simply need a Miami cop.

Just a thought, but isn't procurement and ideas for procurement done by lower steps on the ladder that are delegated to do so? As a democratic nation, they cannot single-handedly put their thumbs up or down to something without due cause and after consideration. Their presence there would just...

Sure, for most of us it is a shock at first . After long enough, you just look at the person and reply with "Really?" I used to have a lot happen to me by strangers, but I have found that the war in the Gan changed the opinions of many around. To the OP, I'd suggest that once you are away from...

To add onto the above post by Bomber, in an Inf Bn, you may have the caveat/probationary period of 'All new private to Bn need to live in the shacks for 6mon/1yr/etc'. This is to ensure that the new guys can make timings in Bn and also maintain their 'healthy eating' by being forced to eat at...

-I have found that a small pillow gives you a much better sleep in the field than bunched up cloths or a stump. You don't need your king-size pillot from home, but there are nice ones that are like 16"x10" (guesstimate) -1 deck of cards in a section. Passes by slow Ex's nicely and creates group...

Shemaghs are great for most things. It's just one of the things I learned from the Gan - they can keep you cool, undusted, and warm all with one piece of kit. I only have 1 tour and a bunch of them for different environmental colors but I have never heard that 'you can't have one unless you have...

I took this info on up as we use short barrels in our Bn. Our Snr Wpns Tech did not know and so he contacted a MWO ETQMS about it. This is where I will tell you the story which also resulted in having my wrist lightly slapped/tapped b/c of it. "This is not an issue.  The only issue that the BFA...

My  :2c: and first-hand opinion PTSD, PTSI, anxiety disorder, or wherever you call it....in my belief, it's something you do not recover from. From my experience it's something you just learn to cope with or handle better. After my injury, I had issues with crowded places, noises of crowds and...

Do. Not. Do. Things. To. Stick. Out... like boots or rucks or hardcore PT strip. With the latter one, you will be told to promptly remove it as staff will have a sense of pride about being able to wear it. They passed training and done the time, you haven't. Wearing it may put crosshairs on you.

Um, well, it was a post 4 before my first one, so all I did was hit the 'quote' button on it. Not to be a dink or anything, but March comes before May on a normal Gregorian calendar. If you are simply joking, then I am a dink and I apologize.

I modified the last post to hopefully illustrate that, CDN.

I suppose I should make a note on this (from what I know) since it appears that the Hollywood misconception of Int (in Canada, it's Int, not Intel). As an IntOp, you will be in the HQ pretty much 99% of your time. You will be given a task such as collater (Cpl or Senior member's job) which means...

Remember, the infantry is a team activity and purely solo-work is not advised. Help out others and don't be afraid to have others help you.

Continuing on, since I am at home now. -Don't take things personally. You may find that it appears that everyone judges you and puts you initially in a lower catagory. It isn't necessarily b/c you are a woman though that could be the reason. Here is putting it lightly: everyone is judged in the...

Female Infantry NCM.... Well, here's my advice and it is solely my opinion. I apologize in advance if it is not the most politically correct way to say some of these things. -Never expect special treatment due to your gender. We are all gonna carry a weight that is retarded, not sleep enough...

0s have a possibility of causing ingrown hairs and should that happen, the member would have to goto sick parade if it gets infected and miss out on training time. This, in turn, may cause them to fail. IMHO, just get a 2 all around (maybe even a 1) and live with it. You are there for...

Sooo...why are there still the walts who go beyond justing saying they are/were in the military if the CC of Canada covers this?
