Not the CBC, but it's funny how this one comment points to a slant against the military in this story: http://www.vancouversun.com/life/Bullied+teen+Amanda+Todd+took+life+Coroners+Service+confirms/7381793/story.html Like that has anything to do with his comments.  :facepalm:  There was...

I would also agree that removing the USB ports/ providing dumb terminals would be a good idea.  Otherwise, it's like leaving a secure area locked in a case where everyone could potentially have the key to the secure room....and we just TRUST them not to use one of those easily accessible keys.

Doesn't bother me that much, really.  I was responding more to Towards_the_gap's comment: ...basically pointing out that we DO already have guidelines to follow.  To me, I just find it curious that they have left the sleeves to be member's choice.  :) And you're right, my experience is...

Well, if that is the policy (and I for one don't know, but obviously you are stating there is), then yes, you are following the policy. My opinion is that it looks a lot more haphazard when it's not uniform (no pun intended :)) That depends...do you want to see pant legs with...

Sorry OZ, you're correct - I meant the method of wearing the uniform, not whether to actually wear it or not. It's funny that recruits are taught in basic to standardize EVERYTHING, but then get to see members walking around with some sleeves rolled up, some not, some with issue combat boots...

Since when did wearing a uniform become something that was done according to one's own taste?

;D ;D ;D That made my day. 

That specific comment might be unusual, but for the most part, there are lots of people out there who think that the military is full of abusive members.  It's unfortunate that they are so ignorant and close minded, but they do exist.  :(

Unfortunately George, and I mean this with the greatest respect, you're probably "out to lunch" on this one.  Their opinion is, unfortunately, not really all that bizarre.  There's a fairly sizable segment of the population out there that has been sheltered, and their only exposure to the CF...

All good suggestions above, but then again, you might just have one of those obstinate set of parents that against all arguments will still not give their permission.  You might have to wait until you are 18. In NO WAY does that mean that if you really want to do this, that you should let their...

I think we also have to consider in the equation that the Canadian people have a habit of turning on governments simply BECAUSE they have been in power too long.  Yes, corruption happens, but it's also kind of like we expect it to, "so let's give the new guys a shot because they obviously...

I think the one glaring and most potentially damning problem of this entire topic has been mentioned several times, but in passing: the parents. If the parents get themselves into the mode of " it's OUR cadet group and WE  want to decide how it is run", there is no telling the amount of...

Harper might not be the most exciting Captain we have had, but he's keeping things on an even and steady keel.

Wow, what an awesome idea.  Maybe we should just multiply the specs for the F35 by 1.6 as well.  ::)

Somehow I don't see the specs on this one fitting the bill.... ::) http://142.179.170.230/avro/wiki/Arrow2Specifications :sarcasm:

Well, there are almost 300 returns for a "cadpat" search on Ebay, so you can imagine that there's more than just those things on there, plus an unimaginable amount that ISN'T being sold online.  IMO, probably far too many for the MP's to worry about checking each and every one of them...

Like most stupid actions, funny....if nothing happens. 

One of my students: "Are there 12 or 24 hours in a day?" I'd just like to point out that this was in a Grade 12 classroom.  :facepalm:

Like all the ladies at the bars do?  ;D
