I heard that Mr. Rogers was a SEAL.

They went through their FIBUA rooms. There were 150, maybe 200 spectators that they had standing on the upper level (behind protective barriers), and they spent an hour or so going through different scenerios. It was quite exciting to watch. That whole day just rocked.

Some of the other students in my high school were into backyard wrestling.

After reading a couple of his rants, I can honestly say he affected me, I feel much dumber now.

That's not simmunition, that's MILES. Simmunition is kind of simmilar to paintball, but different.  Simmunition (as the Canadian Army uses), is a 9mm non-lethal projectile of a coloured wax (I believe). It uses a modified C7 rifle, and is used with 20 round clear magazines. It's meant to provide...

I couldn't vote. I was out of town visiting my sister (originally, I was going to go up the monday after I voted, but I had to leave on the Sunday because of some schedualling conflicts). So, I missed the advanced polls and didn't see that I could have voted by phone or something like that...

I get tendonitis in my right wrist every once and a while (or I have tendonitis constantly, but I only feel it once every couple months or so). It's mostly caused by a combonation of weather and spending too much time playing guitar or on the computer. I just wrap it in one of those elastic...

Ok, I think this answers pretty much all of my questions. Thanks, guys.

It doesn't seem that shocking, if you think about it. As phalen posted, the population of New York is quite close to the entire population of Canada.

Yep, Reg Force is what I was talking aboot.  What are the shacks like?

Ok, I didn't see this in the FAQ or any results when I searched, so here I ask. After completing BMQ/SQ/OL3, and you're with your unit, what kind of living conitions can a single person expect? On base? Off base? In an apartment? In a house with other soldiers? And, am I correct in...

Why would the picture frame be required? What if you have nothing you would want to put in it, are you just supposed to have it out empty (which would make some sense)?

I was told that there is a possibility of doing a part-time SQ, but I don't think it's always available, nor does every unit offer it.  Anyways, I would believe that after doing the Part time BMQ, and the summer SQ, you would then return to your unit, and continue as normal till the following...

Ok, thanks.

How hard would it be to get into the NBP training? After completing your MOC course, is there a length of time that you would have to wait before applying to the NBP?

Ok, for the last year or so, I've been considering joining the Military, specifically either Signal Operator or Infantry in the Army. The last week or so, I've been starting to consider the Navy.  I have the CD from the Recruiting Centre that has descriptions of all trades, application process...

So, would that be a Special Forces only weapon, with the XM-8 becoming the regular soldier's weapon?  It just seems really complicated, too much going on, not to mention huge.

For those who get their hair cut short (e.g. high-and-tight, or simmilar, done with the electric clippers), do you have your own set of clippers and do iit yourself, or do you have a barber do it? I get my hair cut short as often as I can afford (maximum of 2 months between cuts), and I...

Proper stretching and a "cool-down"  are the things I've been taught in karate. Basically, whatever you do when you warm up, do it after your exercise (a light jog, stretching every muscle you used, crap like that). That way your body won't "crash" by going from a highly active state to a...

Yeah, those are pretty much my reasons. I'll add that I want my life to actually mean something, and not be another 9-5 Toronto commuter. Besides, my mother never let me play with anything that resembled a gun.  :mg:
