I originally stated that I'd like to go to 3vP when I went through the process. Turns out they needed my amazing potential in the RCR. That's who I've been claimed by. So there you go... you can ask, and the people at your CFRC will smile, nod, and then send you wherever they need fresh meat for...

I wouldn't want to be wolfing down my breakfast as quickly as possible and then go for a run.... people would end the run doing the 'technicolour yawn.' Not to mention the stitch that would end up forming.

Doesn't sound like the sort of system you would want to be running off of the battery. You get hit once, and immediately you are sitting in the worlds heaviest paperweight. Forget trying to start it up to run away or return fire.

I dunno, do they? I'll be at Borden a week from now... are you saying I should bring it with me? Should I just bring it by NDHQ and turn it over to the MP's there?

What should I do with 'em? I've got a mag from a C7 and a few 5.56 rounds to go with it.... I don't want these things in my possession if they are restricted (which the mag is). Where can I turn it in?

What a mess.... It would be interesting to know exactly where the accidental bullet entered his head, and whether or not there were burns around the wound. I'm willing to bet that as sloppy as it is there, there was no accident. Of course I'm feeling conspiratorial today ;D

Sounds ingenious... honestly wouldn't have ever thought of a system like that. Sounds like it could be complicated to fix if anything ever went wrong though.... I wouldn't want to be inside of it if it had a malfunction... would give a whole new perspective on the phrase "Tommy Cooker."

I'm doing an 11-week BMQ... You mean to tell me I'm going straight to battleschool after Basic? I bet I'll be unprepared if that's the case. Until the extended BMQ is standard and SQ is eliminated for infantrymen, something that, as far as I know isn't going to happen (at least not while I'm...

I'm looking at the information sheet about the SQ for Infantry soldiers... I don't know where all these estimates are coming from, but the sheet I have in front of me says: "On successful completion of BMQ, Infantry Soldiers go to a Military Training Centre for the 10-week Soldier Qualification...

We'll trade you some of our nice, cool fresh water, if you want to give us some of your sludgy black oil? Whadd'ya say Saudi Arabia??

That sucks.... as much as I was perfectly happy to see Canada beat The USA on the ice, I would have hoped for something better than what the fans did. It was classless, and not the mark of a gracious host. I would have held us to a higher standard than that. But then, Canadian fans turned on...

Remember how I was against the death penalty before christmas? I'm not saying I'm changing my mind, but jeez.... things like that really do push me in that direction.

What the....?? It seems you already moved it, but kept my initial thread name.... Anyway, the thought that Heinleins society described in the book could be compared to ancient Sparta just crossed my mind, thought I might throw that out there.

Already read it, hoping to contribute to a discussion that I was sure would be dragging on somewhere.... no real discussion of the political ideology had cropped up, so I thought I'd start a thread focussing exclusively on it... So much for that. ::) Like I said, I did search... if there's a...

I know that numerous people on these forums have read it, and if you haven't read it yet, pick up a copy of Robert Heinleins book "Starship Troopers" and give it a thorough once over... ignore the fact that there is a movie of the same name, as they are almost entirely different from each other...

Sharon is 77 years old.... what do people expect? "Sounds like trouble could be brewing in the middle east......" Are you kidding? The Middle East?? In trouble?!? Nah..... that area of the world is as calm as the south pacific.

While I do think that the article is slightly alarmist, the population issue IS a conundrum that we are unlikely to solve... go down to your local mall and you can see all that our society aspires to... there are few babies; merely smaller cell-phones... one of the real problems with the...

So what the heck is this I hear about not being allowed to be bald???? I've been shaving my head every few days for the past year.... in fact I just shaved it yesterday and I start basic on the 16th..... NOW I'm finding out that it's a no-no?!!? Faaaaaan-tastic.....

As far as I know, until the BMQ and SQ courses become a single course, anyone who runs through the pilot courses still has to do SQ, I'm not sure where I read that, but it was on the internet, so it MUST be true  ;) . Hey, I consider myself lucky to get ten weeks of SQ rather than a...

Okay, who thinks it's time for a new editorial?
