I'm not sure how helpful this will be to you, but it's a website by a Canadian military wife. http://www.renc.igs.net/~tcollier/

Well, I guess I shouldn't get mad at the people here for their opinions regarding Forest Lawn.  The media here gets a kick out of making this area look like the 6th ring of hell.  Back in my junior high school days, there was a kid who was killed during the summer here (him and his buddies were...

I am close to that area too.  I've been to that legion many times since it provided much valued support to the air cadet squadron not half a kilometre away.  I have a lot of fond memories inside that legion.  I'll happly help you corner the guilty individuals in a dark alley. As to the rest...

Maybe a bra to go with Danjanou's thong  ;D.

The CRTC denied Fox News?  I saw a CRTC document that had approved it.  Give me some time to see if I can find it again.

Anyone who takes him seriously is just using him to justify a position they already hold.  In that case, those people won't be inclined to listen to reason anyway, so I'm not worried about him rotting new brains. Infanteer's right, just ignore him.  He'll eventually wither on the vine when his...

This guy is proud to work at places like Wal-Mart and KFC.  That'll show you how much shit he's got in the brain locker.

Thanks for your help Bert. Eric5:  I'm in Calgary, and the BMQ course I'm on is also here in town.

Well, I just got my kit not too long ago.  I'm expecting to get on a BMQ course starting up the 26th.  The problem is that I was trying to form my beret the way the MCpl at the unit I'm joining told me too.  He told me to put it in hot water to soak, then let it dry on my head to form it, but it...

If the interviewing officer asks you why you want to be in the military, don't say "Because I want to blow shit up!"  One of my friends who signed up with at around the same time as me said that.  I didn't.  I got an offer of employment.  He did not.

Really? 9 out of 10 posthumous?  The statistic I heard was only 1 in 30 actually survive the deed for which they are awarded the VC.  This statistic, however is suspect since I got it off the net (don't remember where).  Can anyone confirm/refute this?  It's peaked my curiosity.

Wholeheartedly agree with this statement.  Actually, I went to see this movie with a couple friends, and one of them spent an hour looking for something "Republician" to wear to the movie.  Eventually, he stuffed a blue beanie baby with a stars and stripe top hat into his shirt pocket.  He made...

Completely agree 100%.  You outlined a line of thought that I have been musing over for a little while.  And the added advantage of having a population with real life experiences in all kinds of different environments is a compelling argument in itself for a system like this. Again, I have to...

I can't provide a hard source, but that is a common statistic that is thrown around in my classes (I take a lot of environmental science courses). 

The pay that CI's get are about enough to cover the cost of gas, roughly.  It's really not all that much.  And if it's politics that you're trying to get away from, then the CCM is probably not the way to go, unfortunately.  CIC is, after all a military occupation, so you will have to deal with...

The reason that the recruiters gave me as to why they don't like laser surgery for pilots is because they are not sure yet how the scar tissue in the eye will perform under the heavy gravity stress that fighter pilots undergo.  there is the possibility that the scar tissue could rip under the...

My medical info went there and back in about 3 weeks.  Guessing by everyone else's posts here, the gods that rule over the decision board must be smiling on me. ... well, maybe only partly, they did after all classify me as V4  >:(

I remember a CBC documentary a long time ago talking about Canada providing aid after Sept 11.  On it they said that the attack on the twin towers severely damaged a lot of the US's banking infrastructure and Canadian banks ended up offering the use of their surplus infrastructure to the...

Great (**end sarcasm**).  I got a call from the CFRC today.  My medical came back from Borden.  They said my vision is V4, so I don't qualify for any combat arms trades. :'( This royally sucks as that's what I wanted to do.  So, I had to change my trade choices to weapons tech.  Not bad, but...

Wow. It looks more like they are planning another invasion than just some ceremonies. :P
