Amen, Bane!

I had to swallow hard when I swore allegiance to the Queen and her retarded son the Prince of Whales and "all of her heirs". The thing that got me through it is the fact that terms like"the Queen", the Queen's Shilling" and shite like that are anachronistic terms for important words like...

Very funny stuff. I was raised Mormon, I was even a missionary, but I have since found the only true god...BEER, and I have repented of my former evil ways. I am just glad I wasn't raised Al Qaeda, I am not sure Beer would have cured me. :P

If I am not mistaken Churchill was not the PM during this shameful period. He was in Cabinet during this event. Churchill became PM in 1940, the "Voyage of the Damned" event took place in 1939. It is revealing that so many "enlightened" contries refused these people entry.

Martin Gilbert's definitive and official biography of Winston Churchill sheds light on Winston's opinions of Jews. Churchill, who lived much of his life in the shadow of his father carried forward his fathers notion that Jews deserved their own homeland in Palestine and that Jews were ill...

I have done BMQ twice. Once in 1989 and once again over the last few months; both times were Reserve courses. The first time I really focused on being the "grey man." I tried hard, but I never stuck my neck out and I certainly didn't try to lead by example. This time I did my very best every...

My guess is that Starbuck has been downloaded. The story of her birth has not been told. I would bet it will involve her war heroe mother being a Cylon captive. She was impregnated with Cylon material and voila, the super pilot is born. If this is not how it turns out it should be. The writers...

As long as they start having a little more action I don't care if they make Elton John as the leader of the Cylon Empire!

Umm...err....I knew it was fake all along, I was just seeing if you guys could tell....yeah that's it.... :'(

On our first PO check the course officer said there would be serious consequences if anyone failed the test. 10 out of 37 failed! There was obviously something wrong so the course staff took the test. Some of the staff failed the test. There were no serious consequences. ::) We all had to retake...

One of my great fears of my trade (Artillery) is math. My  skills are suspect. (How I passed the CFAT I'll never know) At least it is not as bad as seen on this clip. Mind you this vid does show why math is so damn confusing...

In today's speech by Gen. Hillier, he stated something to the effect that unification had brought down the overall level of training for NCO's to the lowest common level.(My version of his words.) He was referring to the idea that the Army could not train its NCO's to the highest standard...

This could probably fit in recruiting under reasons for CF weapons safety proceedures, but it is worth having a look regardless.  http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7365025225869710770&q=funny+thinking&hl=en

The Lieberals must be nashing at their teeth that 1. THEY chose Hillier 2. THEY sent the troops to Afghanistan I am sure they are kicking themselves for keping the military at all. They are probably wishing the CF had been converted to a peace police that handed out flowers whilst leaping in...

According to Coderre the Lieberals (gee, can you see my political bias) "proposed" Billions of dollars for defense spending; of course that is the problem. The Lieberals "propose" to do many things, but they often do little. Kyoto, and the military come to mind. It is being argued here that...

It is strange when one sees $ values for military equipment the amount ususally includes training equipment and costs, replacement parts, service packages and lifetime maintenance and operation costs. Could you imagine if we did that when we bought a new car? We would all shat ourselves and get...

You presume correctly. You?

My training WO gave me the following information: According to the Army National Calendar CAP takes place on the following dates: CAP MOD 1 - 5 START 28 May 07 END 10 Aug 07  - 3 Anglo Serials                 1 - 5 START 18 Jun 07 END 31 Aug 07 - 3 Anglo Serials                 1 - 5 START...

I hope this proposal is in fact a trial balloon to test the viability of the idea ather than a set plan to go forward. The CF needs to grow, and not just the Army. It may be that it is politically impossible to fund urgent military requiremnts in the next few years and fight in Afghanistan...

:) Made me laugh!
