We've been comparing this idea with NORTHCOM and the other US combatant commands... One major difference I noticed (assuming I have my facts straight   :-X ) is that under the Canadian system, the combatant commanders report directly to the CDS (our equivalent of the Chairman of the JCS). Under...

Couldn't agree more. A man who opened his Bible every week and yet didn't take messages like this to heart: "For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead." James 2:26 A Christian once said, "The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today, is...

The KJV's not that bad a translation - it's just well behind the current state of the English language. It was certainly translated with atheological considerations in mind - King James didn't like the other contemporary English Bible available, the Geneva Bible, because its study notes...

Yeah.... and we register those, too.....

Congrats - keep up the good work!  ;)

The website may say that, but in reality the SN isn't necessary at all. Rank and name will be sufficient, plus all the physical address information you quoted.

Doctors call for kitchen knife ban Friday, May 27, 2005 Posted: 1008 GMT (1808 HKT) Doctors say pointed knives owe more to tradition than culinary necessity.   LONDON, England (AP) -- Are there killers in your kitchen drawer? Three emergency-room doctors called Friday for long, pointed...

Absolutely! The government has proven, again and again, that it has plenty of money to throw around. $2 billion for the gun registry, $5 billion on this daycare program, $4.5 billion for NDP support - that's $11.5 billion right there, and I'm not even trying. That would cover $10 000 for each of...

Thanks for the board, Mike  :salute:

Let's start the Home Front forum with a nice general discussion... What, in everyone's opinion, is the biggest problem facing military families? Is is operational tempo - the service spouse gone too much and too often? Or state of military housing? Employment opportunities for spouses near...

I'm not sure this is what you meant, but here's a couple threads to start, maybe.... PMQS want to hear about your PMQ marchout horror stories: http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/29985.0.html Augmentation de salaire et le prix des pmq's monte (coincidence????) ...

I second this motion... This would have a really important information function. We get people on this site all the time looking for information abotu the CF and how to join, and especially about what life is like. It would be nice if they could have a particular area devoted to answering their...

That's why I said given them them means. If parents received somthing like a $3000-$5000 tax credit for every child under the age of 13, then chances are a lot of them would. Regardless, a national daycare system will do nothing whatsoever to give parents this option - in fact, with tax rates...

Brad's got a really good point here. What bothers me about the way Glorified Ape originally phrased the question was its unspoken assumption - that THE alternative to kids being raised by their friends is by the government.  This also appears to be the assumption behind the much-ballyhooed...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are now, for the first time, recommending other repellents in addition to DEET... http://chealth.canoe.ca/health_news_detail.asp?news_id=14313 My favourite was this paragraph: Users complained of DEET's odour or said it feels unpleasant on the...

But how are they going to inspire their troops if they have had no exposure to real soldiers? If you treat anyone - OCdt, 2Lt, or Pte (untrained) like dead weight and a waste of rations, you're not going to build a competent leader. When they finally do get back to the Regt, they'll be under...

I agree that a Ph 3 qualified 2Lt isn't ready to command Reg F troops... However, keeping them segregated from the "real world" during the almost two years it takes to train them (4 for RMC) is not going to help matters any. The biggest problem I've seen with RMC graduates (and before all the...

My buddy on Freddie took me and our ladies aboard for a visit a couple months back... When we left, the duty officer (a Lt(N)) saluted our group as we left. He outranked us both. I'd like to think it was because he recognized the Army's inherent superiority and was saluting me as some act of...

Opinions like this just leave me sputtering... You're letting Martin fool you into thinking he'll be better than Harper. On what basis? Please don't imply that the CF supports the kind of crass corruption we're seeing come out of this scandal. You're spitting on my uniform. No scandal where...

I agree with most of what you said, but this idea of LAV-capable airlift is something that keeps coming up in discussions like this, in the media, here, and elsewhere - and I always shake my head. Canada will NEVER afford the number of long-range aircraft capable of carrying LAV-IIIs in any...
