Jeebus, read the other thread!  We actually looked-up the CARs ...

I'm not really sure what you are trying to say, but Wings standard pretty much = CPL ... we went through the gory details here: http://forums.air-force.ca/forums/threads/58038.0/all.html

Dammit, I think we just opened Pandora's Box! P.S> Sorry about the cross-post back there!

America's national security interest involves more than simply trying to turn every failed state into a model of Jeffersonian Democracy.

I don't get it.  How is feeling that a prolonged presence in Haiti and Somalia nearly 15 years ago wasn't in America's national security interest inconsistent with (or even remotely related to) the idea that a presence in Iraq today, is? You are right about the quality (those statistics are...

This kinda says a lot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZTo0iGc_Dw&eurl=

It better-reflects the value of what you have: yes, you paid out $2,000 cash, but you also have a computer that is worth $2,000 (and $1,600 next year, $1,200 the year after, etc).  It actually does help you buy more computers, by way of getting loans and/or attracting investors, because your...

For those that don't like the Beep Test, it's not like the CF just dreamed it up!  It is used in a lot of sports as an indicator of fitness (VO2 max specifically).  According to wikipedia (yeah, I know http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beep_test ) it is also used by the British Army, RAF, RN (RM...

Well that part is rather generous ...

Oil is cheaper because Iraq is ruined?  Are you trying to say that Iraq was 'ruined' in the process of securing it's oil supply (which would at least be a coherent opinion)? Evidently, what you think isn't what reality is. So Iraq should have been invaded by the corporations? Funnily enough...

Reality check: (Emphasis mine) http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/16/AR2007091601287_pf.html Huh?

Let me guess: instead of lobbing rockets onto Israeli towns, they are going to start lobbing rockets into Israeli towns ...

I think my old US (USMC?) rainjacket is still somewhere in my parents basement ... the K-Way type stuff they issued us (mo-litia in '89, whatever version that was) was absolute crap.  The rubber overboots were useless, too ... I think I wore them once.

I realise that (why would you think otherwise?), I just don't think it is that far out of line, especially if you consider that it is in Vancouver.  The tailor here recently told me that very few people get gold rank anymore, because it is so expensive.

$170 doesn't seem that bad ... FWIW, there are a few of the White Jackets around in the Air Force (I've ordered one, too). The last few posts reminded me of that old MASH episode when Col Blake had a pinstripe suit made by a Korean tailor: and the tailor did the suit with the stripes...

Why don't you go talk to Claymore on East Hastings?  http://www.claymoreclothes.com/uniforms-messkit.htm

What about starting something like the Delayed Entry Program they have in the US?  I'm not 100% on the details of how it works, but it might help out some of the less-prepared candidates, whilst keeping the costs to the taxpayer down ...

UK-centric, but the gist is universal: http://www.samizdata.net/blog/archives/2008/01/dear_third_worl.html

I have them done right up, but I do know of guys who leave out the top one or two, because they feel it gives them better ankle flexion (that might not be a real word) and therefore better rudder control ... I haven't really had a problem, so I just do them the way I'm supposed-to (and wrap the...
