A few words from a MAC convert -     Like many students, I had to get a laptop for university too. A good friend talked me into getting a Mac Book and it has worked out very well. Having never used Mac before I found it was very easy to adjust to. Also, the MAC care plan worked out well too...

My 2 cents on pay in ROTP -     ROTP is great, every morning I thank God I'm in it. When I see the other students at civy U and what they go through to carry their debt load I have to shudder.  I have been volunteering an hour or two here and there at one of the university counselling centres...

OK, now I know that the scruffy lot that frequents this establishment are a creative bunch, so I'm calling on your creative skills to come up with a suggestion for a name for a new club. Please keep it clean. We need a name and we need one very quickly as the window for new club applications is...

Niner - great pictures. Thank you. I am grateful to have been able to go on the run, but I didn't have a camera to capture all that awesome red with. I found the CDS' words about the humble, young soldier very touching, especially when he said "humility is not thinking less of yourself, just...

Cadarn, Re Taxi: I think if you call the taxi company in Montreal to confirm the price you will find it is a lot more than $90.  It looks like the joining instructions haven't been updated in a few years. Bus: I have heard of an intercity bus from Montreal (Central station, 505 Blvd.du...

Congratulations!  :salute:  If you clicked on that subject header, chances are you are heading to St Jean for IAP this July. I am curious to know about who is going: 1. Where are you from? 2. What were you before this: Reservist, Student, Cadet? 3. What trade did you pick/get? 4. Roughly how...

Wanted to share this very touching article about a doctor in Baghdad. I found the article on CBC, dated April 5th.  Here is the link: http://www.cbc.ca/doczone/battleforbaghdad/sher.html I welcome your comments.

Aviator@heart, I may be able to confirm some of that for you.  I have been given a small amount of info so far on my ROTP LOG O offer from the recruiting center. Hopefully they will drop me some more clues soon. What I have been told so far is that I will go to St Jean for 01 JUL 07 for IAP...

:threat: I Guess I'm in the "right-hand-left-eye mutant club" (LOL) so no,  you are not alone.  Judging by the posts this club seems to have more than a few members.  Prior to joining my father taught me to shoot from the left so I could go hunting with him.  When I joined the Grenadiers in 1989...

Found this news article very interesting: http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/03/02/bleeding/ It appears that the Americans are using chitosan in their field dressings. Chitosan is derived from shrimp shells and helps with blood clotting.  This leads me to wonder, I have a friend who is deathly alergic...

What is with Col Tigh and the music? And the chick at the bar with the radio noise? It felt like a Twin Peaks episode for a minute there.

Rice0031 - I saw the Afgh display at the War Museum this weekend and was glad I went.  Recommend to anyone who hasn't been yet to go check it out.  I liked the post-it concept where people could share their comments. It made the display more interactive and provided insight into opinions of vets...

So, I hear there is this new How To book coming out called "Canadian Forces for Dummies". Or was that "BMQ for Dummies"? You can't miss it, the cover is cadpat and it comes with an "I love (insert element)" bumper sticker to decorate your ride with.  Anyways, it should be available at Chapters...

A note on Joonrooj 's Beer-butt chicken (mentioned earlier) I have used this technique and found that it works quite well. For larger chickens though, you may find that the can is not tall enough.  In this case I use a full can of beer and I put an apple on the top pf the can with the core cut...

Way to go!  :D Some fun stats I'd like to see would include how many times George has told people to  "stay in your lane" or "search before you post". Keep up the good work George. Cheers.
