    Atheist Mistreatment in Iraq (US Military)

    This is possibly the most asinine quote ever uttered. In truth more people have turned away from god because of war then have ever turned to him. Besides the author of the quote was not disparaging Atheists, rather he was disparaging foxholes.

    Harper failing to sway country

    CTV/Globe and Mail polls ALWAYS show the Conservatives to be behind. I hope Dion and Layton get hot and bothered and force an election in the Fall, they will get their arses handed to them. The Afghan mission can be justified and would be accepted if the average Canadian knew enough about it...

    Should the toast to the Queen be omitted from Mess Dinner's

    This is a valid point and should not be dismissed lightly. The quibble I have is that the symbol of the Monarchy is devolved on par with the Beaver, and the maple leaf. They are national symbols that give us a rally point and tradition but the question is do we not debase the value of a toast or...

    Should the toast to the Queen be omitted from Mess Dinner's

    The average Canadian has little or no use for the Monarchy. Swearing an oath to the queen and her heirs is a debasing of what a personal oath is. (i.e. a personal oath is a commitment of loyalty that gives one no choice but to serve the interests of the individual the oath was made to. Since the...

    What not to do - No excuse BMQ tips [Merged]

    I may be mistaken, but I think staff are not supposed to demean a person with insults. For example, an  inccorect dressing down would be, "Recruit Bloggins you are an F'ing idiot." The correct way of saying this would be,"Recruit Bloggins what you did was F'ing idiotic."  See, much nicer. ;)

    Training for bmq, chin ups or pull ups?

    Apperantly both both are done on BMQ, if I remember correctly we only did chin-ups but I have heard others did both. Pull-ups get more difficult the further your hands move away from your shoulders. If you are having trouble keep your hands shoulder width apart and then move them further...

    Future Weapons

    The show is thin on details and long on cool shots of the new weapon technology, but it often looks more like a commercial for new weapons system than a serious look at the products technical merits. That being said it is pretty cool.

    Training Sched, ANy good?

    Measure the distance with a cars odometer, you will know pretty accurately what the distance is. It seems you have a good workout planned, just stick with it and it should be good. It takes on average about 8-12 weeks to adjust to a workout, after that change it up and keep challenging yourself.

    Serious Discussion on the Treatment of Liberals on These Forums

    One of the problems on Forums like this one is that sometimes we write things we would not say if we were talking to someone in person. For example, we might think a Liberal supporter is an idiot, but we might not use that choice of words if we were talk with them face to face. I know I have...

    Thanks for the info, it's a bit sticky to point this out to my superiors... perhaps I'll meekly suggest a review of the regulations. Regardless, the cap badge is important, but wearing the Cornflake is still an honour.

    CTV needs a wakeup call

    What Bob did was disgusting, but what do you expect from him?  He often shows poor journalistic judgement and makes his biases know all too clearly. Ultimately, Bob seems to be for Bob and that is about it. I wrote this letter to CTV.    To whom it may concern, It was disappointing to see the...

    The Martial Arts Superthread

    I have had my face crushed with a heel kick in a kickboxing match. It broke my nose and punched in my face so that my teeth did not line up properly. It didn't knock me out but the ref wouldn't let me continue because I looked like a freak show attraction. I had my rib cartilage torn (by Dale...

    I was told on Wednesday that I would wear the cornflake until I had pulled a lanyard. I am about to go on CAP, and have finished BMQ and BOTP2. The person telling me this may be wrong, but as he is my OC I will take his word for it. Besides the Cap badge of the RCA will mean a lot more if that's...

    RMC Officer Sues to Avoid Saluting, Toasting Queen?

    You might be surprised possibly stunned to believe that some people can actually love Canada without a magical fairyland monarch benevolently loving us from on high. I guess if you personally disagree with the tattered remains of history that still resides with us then you do not deserve to...
