    All things beardy-2005 to 2018 (merged)

    Are you sporting a beard on your ID?  If so, I would imagine it's case closed. If not then I see where the request for authorization is coming from. Either way good luck. I always disliked the "on this course" mentality experienced at some institutions.

    Chronic Sea Sickness

    Why? Because I've seen it before. Perhaps more than a few years ago but I have seen it.  Pat's weren't re-mustered back in the day either so I may, indeed, be out of touch but I maintain that it's a plausible scenario.

    What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

    I've heard it said that Armoured courier companies ask, during your interview, if you "ever thought of robbing an armoured car?" and if the answere is no they won't hire you. Apparently it's something everyone thinks about from time to time...

    Name This Photo!!! - The AFV Recognition Thread

    At first blush it appears to be a heavily modified AMX13 but there are only 4 road wheels, now being that modified one of the road wheels may have been sacrificed for the mine rolling equipment.
