    Influx of Armour recruits?

    I was just wondering if there is a large influx of armour recruits because 42 out of 49 of my basic platoon are armoured. The rest are infantry and artillery, and one combat engineer. Is this normal, or maybe they just send all the armour recruits to the same basic? Anyone in the know? I'm...

    I'm supposed to be at BMQ right now...

    Hey, well its been 1 week since I've been here, I called the CFRS and they told me to call Air Canada to change my ticket to the next available flight, one flew out of Sydney NS that night, so I arrived at BMQ 1 day late, they were going to recourse me, but we have a good MCpl who just double...

    I'm supposed to be at BMQ right now...

    But my flight was canceled because of this damn blizzard. I'm in Cape Breton, and two of us are going to be late to BMQ. Just when I thought the moment to ship off came, it turns out I have to wait some more. I guess this is preparing me for life in the CF :P It might not be until Wednesday when...

    STARSHIP TROOPERS (Book Review)

    About the movie: Its a farce. Its a satiracal spoof of the genre. It was never meant to be a serious adaptation of the book. The book and the movie cannot be compaired. (Like most book-movie stories)

    Thoughts from all members excluding senior and staff

    These are just some of the things I think annoy them -Blank profiles -new members spouting off like they know everything (personal experience with this one) -cadets spouting off like they know how it is for sure -people talking about something as if it was fact, and not backing it up with proof...

    CRTC stalls emergency warning system for five years ... ?

    The stall is not all bad, it sent Pelmorex Inc. back to R&D and they developed a system that now can be broadcast on digital cable and satelite systems, as well as analog systems.

    Islam and Western Society

    I see what you are saying, but thats just the personal agenda of the painter, or script writer to portray him that way, the original story itself cannot be blamed or called anti-semitic for how certain people choose interpret it. In regards to the article, it was clearly written by someone who...

    Islam and Western Society

    Are you referring to the Old Testament? As the Old Testament is overridden (for lack of a better word) by the New Testament as to how a Christian should act. In regards to the Judas, I don't think his story is at all anti-semitic, his physical portrail is of one who is sly, and deceiving and...

    Time? From Call to BMQ?

    If you're merit listed, and still want to join up, I wouldn't go to Europe, because the call could come at anytime. Call your recruiting center and ask when the next selection board sits, and if there is any positions left open for your trade you chose. Some trades may still have positions...

    *SPOILER WARNING!* Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

    I don't know why people trash episode 2, it was better then episode 6 thats for sure. No fury cuddly things, just lots and lots of jedi, and huge battles. Its one of my favourite. Episode 1 was bad. As far as episode 3 stealing the thunder from episode 5, well, from seeing all the pre-release...

    Prince Harry faces outcry at Nazi costume

    I don't see how forcing him to goto Auschwitz would change anything. One should goto Auschwitz on his or her own accord to show respect, and to remember the victims of that camp. If he goes, its just going to look like the only reason he is there is to appease those who are offended, and not for...
