The only good thing about that show was John Morgan, and he died in 2004. The show should have gone with him.

I have a friend called Hughes who just got back from KAF and would be very amused to see this...

SweetNavyJustice, there's a ginormous thread discussing the GP boot at great lengths right here:http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/50234.0.html

Why would you expect to get grilled for it? It's not against regs, and I'm sure more than one instructor out there has large tattoos...

That was a very touchy-feely PT...I've never seen anything like that before.

Don't spoil it for us! :crybaby:

Yeah it's slow going here too, but it seems to have picked up in the last few minutes. Mind you, it's still nowhere near as fast as it should be: I'm getting around 60k/sec, when for the others I got around 500k/sec.

I used to use a Fusion while in the field as well as at home, but I find that the blade cartridge has a tendency of snapping loose from the hinge that attaches it to the handle when it's tossed in my rucksack. So it's back to the more reliable (and cheaper) Mach 3. The miracle of Fusion is that...

No argument there - Canadian immigration policymakers should take a long, hard look at that. Hey, Claude Belanger from Marianopolis! I took his Canadian history class in '05...

Yes, the system is broken. However, while I agree that people who wish to 'use' Canada as opposed to live in Canada should be turned back, we cannot approach this on a cultural basis. Would it be unfair to concede that just as when an Iranian calls for sharia law in Canada, they aren't the only...

Like I said, I do think the immigration system needs work. A lot of work, really. And I'm in complete agreement with your points, TCBF; the fact that the rig worker from Oklahoma would have more problems getting in than the Chinese rice farmer indicates that something is seriously wrong. But...

But wouldn't doing so turn the immigration process into even more of a complicated mess? I can see screening applicants going two ways - first, the way the TSA deals with carry-on luggage: going way overboard on what's allowed (i.e. turned away for being a friend of a friend of a friend of a...

TCBF, I think that's a very dangerous suggestion. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for democracy and freedom, but restricting immigration from places that don't share our values means that individuals trying to escape repressive, authoritarian rule would not be welcome. Just because lots of Iranians...

Celticgirl - if you were born here, you're not an immigrant. I may be the descendant of immigrants, but if you were to try to deport me, would you send an arm to Russia, a leg to Poland and my head to Britain? It just doesn't work...

The only decent use I've found for the thing is to carry the 522 - fits better in the radio pocket than the harness that comes with it - but even then, when it comes to using anything on the faceplate, it's awkward. Good gym bag, though. Thanks, CTS!

Zero days - it's simple, just don't sign up! Under normal circumstances, if joining the regular force, you'd sign a contract for several years. However, during BMQ if you discover that you aren't cut out for the job, you will be given the opportunity to release.

Lumber, critical and analytical thinking are good traits for anyone to have, including junior officers, and, heavens forbid, NCMS...

A shame? No, a fact of life that everyone dies sooner or later. Sad to see him go, but no shame there... A simple google search for 'surviving veterans of world war I provides the answer to your question, Brett.

I've seen it rung a lot in one night, especially after we inclear in the fall for a new training year, after new recruits become qualified, and various promotions are handed out...maybe not 27 times, but it's been close sometimes.

Driving at CG is actually a pretty good tasking (some people I have worked with would take it any day over rank and file). The hours are pretty decent, unless you're the duty driver, which isn't every day. All pers attached to CG are given access to the fitness facilities at Carleton, which are...
