Nate, I felt the exact same way you did after I went to his presentation at Calgary.  Unfortunately, I left my copy of his book at home  :crybaby:.  He is certainly a gifted speaker and he made me a damn proud Canadian too  :salute: :cdn:  :salute:.

I‘ll be voting this election, but I truely don‘t think it will matter. I doubt whether any of those issues that Mr. Donald mentioned will be addressed (at most given lip sevice) no matter how much effort my age group puts into it. Lets face it, aside from those who actually care about foreign...

I bet that the CF could get make their own recruiting ads that are 50X better instead of having to contract it out to advertising companies that have liberals in their pockets.

Well, all throughout high school, whenever I mentioned that I was thinking of a military career, the automatic knee jerk reaction was "What? You‘re gonna get killed!" As I graduated then moved on to post secondary, the usual comments then became the sterotypical "What‘s a matter, can‘t think...

I have a friend in St. Jean right now. He called me a couple weeks ago and told me that they have to do 5 push ups for ever letter they recieve and 25 for every parcel. He then gave me a list of names from his platoon to send parcel boxes to with junk in it :D . Me being the ******* that I...

Well, the pollster takes this as a positive development. I wonder if most of that new found enthuasism is due to Mr. Reid‘s clientele (i.e. tell the sr. navy people that hired him exactly what they want to hear so they will hire him again in the future).

If you are unsure about joining, perhaps get ahold of a local unit and ask if you can see what they have to offer. I went to a reserve unit and followed some of the troops around for a day while they conducted their duties as part of a career day thing when I was in high school. It certainly...

I aged out of cadets back in 2002, but I came back to volunteer this year and I have to say that you guys are lucky (with the exception of poor cadet_gunner there). My former Sqn‘s drill sucks, and all the Sr. NCOs want absolutely no responsibility at all. This week, the CO did an inspection...

okay. PM‘s on, but I won‘t be online for much longer. Got to head out soon.

I guess, all things considered, I have to concede the necessity of interrogation, and even its methods given Slim‘s explanation of time value. Yet I have to question the desirability of having soldiers that take such photographs for personal use. What would friends and family think of Cpl...

True, I would agree that jail conditions under the coalition would be better than under Saddam, and those that act like cowards and kill civilians and use them as shields should have no respect afforded to them. But still, the coalition nations are all signitories of the Geneva Conventions...

Yet the Geneva convention also stipulates that those without PW status must still be treated humanely.

Bert, Thanks a million! You‘ve made it possible for me to get a full night‘s rest again!

That bishop is over-reacting. All Bill C-250 does is afford homosexuals the same protection from discrimination that other minorities have. Nothing more. In many ways, the US already has similar legislation. It just has not been extented to the gay community yet.

My file manager told me that I have a fair chance of making it in this summer, thought I just finished getting all my paper work and tests at about the same time as you space_sldr (fingers crossed). So maybe with a little luck... But then again, after reading a lot of the posts here, I‘m not...

I can understand not wanting to fund new projects and that before a defence review, but why not temporarily allocate enough money to cover all the short falls that exist in the CF from current projects/operations? Doesn‘t the CF run a few hundred million in the red every year due to lack of...

Yes, I took Rifle just before I aged out. Penhold, 2002. 1st intake, Phantom flight.

Are you sure it‘s two weeks Null? Because if it is I‘m screwed until probably next year. ARHG!! I spent 18 days travelling around China visiting family . :crybaby: :crybaby: :crybaby:

I just did my fitness exam today. I did it in the same order as GrahamD. The step test is done to a pre-recorded beat and a voice that says "up, two, three, down, two three." You go for a few minutes, until the music ends. The examiner takes your pulse and if it‘s under the limit, you do it...
