Excellent photos tomahawk, thanks for posting them. On a somewhat related note was bored and browsing youtube last night and stumbled upon a couple videos of the changing of the guard at Arlington, awesome stuff to see such pride taken in the duties there to include some rather loud bystanders...

Don't make me slap you with your own hand!  If I'm a pongo, you're a ponti. But my jest was in reference to the recent fuel spill that HMCS St. Johns had in Halifax harbour, just to connect the dots.

Agreed on all accounts.  I too have felt the feeling you're describing after talking to some soldiers and NCO's that I had the supreme pleasure of commanding, and while I'm not perfect and have made more than my fair share, I left the conversations each and every time with the feeling that I had...

How is HMCS St. John's able to be at sea without fuel?  I kid I kid.

But are they visually amusing examples?

Would this have been an issue a few years ago when raw sewage was pumped directly into the harbour?  I dunno, but if I had a bucket I'd be out there trying to scoop up some fuel since the cost of gas is consistently above $1.20/litre these days.

My daughter is naturally a good child and quite often is very helpful and listens reasonably well for a 2.5 year old.  That being said both my wife and I are stubborn people so naturally our daughter is going to have that wonderful trait as well.  I find that consistency and loving discipline...

Ugh... bringing back some horrible memories.  -"It's just a box of trg claymores, here I'll show you." -"STOP!  You have no idea what could be in that box!" -"No, seriously, it's blue training claymores, I swear." Doors blown off hinges and thousands of dollars later the hallway got a...

Excellent article, agree with all points.

:goodpost: Milpoints inbound for the truth of that.

Awesome!  My jealous face is on right now.

I like the idea of unmanned stuff.  It's like playing Battlefield 3, if I crash it I just wait for my vehicle to respawn and go again.  Right?  Guys? /sarcasm

This is just another example of a potential procurement boondoggle in a long list of other boondoggles.  We're so bassackwards when it comes to procurement it really isn't funny anymore.  From flash to bang it takes our military so long to get the necessary equipment into the hands of our...

I'm going to assume no survivors.  Thoughts and prayers with the family.

I disagree with it being wishful thinking.  Sure there are always going to be those with the blinders on to reality, but for the most part of general joe-blow Canuck personally saw how things were by phsically standing in some First Nations communities, eyes would be open. I agree with the...

I have to be careful sharing opinions on this subject due to my current position, so I'll put my statements with the normal caveat that it is only my opinion (however I am not alone in what I think.) The issue with First Nations communities goes way beyond resource development and sharing. ...

If the principal saw now harm, it was more of a butt-covering reaction since if he didn't report it I'm sure there would be hell to pay. Go Leafs Go!

I R not the great one, but if you watch netflix through a Wii or Xbox then type into google us netflix on (insert your media device) and you can find out how to do it.  Basically you get a DNS proxy server and in your settings switch from automatic to manual input, put in the primary and...

It will most likely coincide with a National Holiday already... 150th anniversary of Confederation anyone?  Think positive now.

Understatement, but so true.  If it's not one thing it's another.  Lets hope all of the submarines are put into active service sooner rather than later.
