Getting back on topic, I'd love to see a return to the v-neck t-shirt that didn't strangle you like the round neck PT shirts do. I'd also like to toss back the sleeping bag liner that shredded in to several strips the first time I used it. Good if you needed bandages in a pinch, but that's...

daftandbarmy - You had to ask! Replied by PM.

The bureaucracy is like an onion - it makes everyone cry.     There will be fewer people in the pool to hire from now that benefits staff  have been completely replaced with a mailbox and a staff of one person per section to answer the mail. There are no more phone numbers for calling in...

benny88 - I was going to write you a long reply but decided to PM you instead.

  At first the scariest part of that article was "as he patrols through the town in full military get-up and bandana" but then this seems to be the reporter's comment and not Mr Rambo's (aka Stephen O'Rourke).  But then I did some reading up and now I can't help but feel a bit sorry for this...

Last year, as I was returning to my apartment building from work, a tenant recognized me in my uniform and asked "How can you wear that crazy costume ?" "Proudly" I answered.

Thanks everyone, good points all around. I am also reluctant to give up personal information. It just doesn't sit comfortably. I have to ask - why would they need it? On the other hand, the list of advisors looks good. Why would someone put years of service and reputation on the line if they...

This looks new. The  Veterans of Canada Corporation.  http://www.veteransofcanada.ca/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1 I'm not sure what to make of this corporation.  According to the home page they support Veterans and Reservists with job opportunities. This sounds like a good thing. As...

Pte Bloggins: You sure this will make me taller Sarg? Sgt Pain:  Sure. Would I lie to you, shorty?

Reading through this thread I've noticed several comments from people who like to eat but are not too keen on cooking. So here is a recipe for a hardy meal that is easy to cook and requires very little skill. Potato Pancakes - serves three (or one really hungry person  ;D ) Time required - 8...

The best thing about Valentines day is that for us chocolate addicts the price of chocolate drops the day after. Besides, it's good for you, the Pop Scientists said so - http://www.sciencenews.org/pages/sn_arch/10_12_96/food.htm Dark chocolate may even help your diabetes -...

Frostnipped Elf My first reaction was "ouch - thats rough" but I have to agree with you on this one. It depends on what the spouse wants for a career. Do you want to stay home and raise children or go out and have a career? Either way, staying together as a family unit will be a real challenge...

dwalter - The university I'm going to also requires language credits to complete the degree. I see this as a good thing because in the long run, anything that improves my communication skills will help me to be a better officer. I'm adding this not to be critical, just to offer another view...

    Purchase protection account? Never heard of it. If he is referring to PayPal protection, the maximum they will cover a purchaser for is two thousand, not twenty as the seller is claiming. Here is a link to how it works if you want to see for yourself:    ...

ModlrMike, re: Ghost Wars Thanks, I'll check it out.

    I recently saw this movie with several friends, and the ending gave a good explanation for the whole "opening the can of worms" idea. This lead to some good conversation debating the events following the withdraw of Russian troops. Tom Hanks also did a good job of portraying Wilson. From...

After reading the first few reviews on this site I asked for a copy for Christmas and got it. Happy to see the reviews were on the mark. Thanks for the tip.

A funny old Irish toast I liked: May those that love us, love us. And those that don’t love us, May God turn their hearts. And if he doesn’t turn their hearts, May he turn their ankles, So we’ll know them by their limping. Cheers! Happy New Years !
