    You know the army is getting into your brain when...

    "Dismount, Dismount, Dismount!" and they all know what I mean. Now if we have company in the veh with us (kids friends etc.) I do get some weird looks.

    You know the army is getting into your brain when...

    My (then) 4 yr old daughter took a flying leap off the top of the stairs into my sister-in-law's arms screaming like a banshee all the way. My sister-in-law was not expecting such behaviour form a demure (ya right!) little  4 yr old however she caught her. My daughter was giggling and my...

    Combat Hospital (ABC and Global) Premiere June 21st

    Time shift my friend, $5/mo from Shaw digital.. At least in my neck of the woods. 9D and I watched it tonight and both of us thought the acting was a tad flat but given time the characters might flesh themselves out and make for a watchable show as long as we consider it entertainment not...

    You go to an impromptu awards ceremony and when the Chief yells group you snicker at every one flinching (cause you flinched too, just a little...)

    Bayonets: your essential Zombie killing weapon accessory.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPFw5Py1oY4 My bad I should have done that before. And I'm not saying for a fact it's pooched I'm asking if the stuff I've seen is out to lunch because, I too, believe Kev wouldn't use it if it was.

    Bayonets: your essential Zombie killing weapon accessory.

    In regards to the Kel-Tec12 I've seen some vids where the trigger is shown not to re-set after cycling the action if it's kept depressed. This isn't a one off stoppage but a design feature/flaw. My old 870 functions flawlessly and I find it's one less thing to worry about while you're going...

    Security Interviews

    Did they state that there were going to interview you in regards to your security clearance specifically?? I have been interviewed several times but it was for other members as I had worked with them in the past or was provided as a reference. So you may be interviewed so they can grant someone...

    Bayonets: your essential Zombie killing weapon accessory.

    Looks to me like it would be like trying to hold a sledge hammer to your shoulder (handle in, head out) kinda tough to swing onto target...

    You know the army is getting into your brain when...

    Full-on +1!! :warstory: I was coaching a kids soccer team a few years ago and I guess I was slipping into NCO mode, absolutely spontaneously they all snapped to attention and saluted me. Parents thought it was hilarious (because coaching minor soccer is a spectator sport ya know!) My addition...

    You know the army is getting into your brain when...

    After 25+ yrs it was the hardest thing for me to un-learn, not the coming to attention but just the simple fact that I could go see my boss whenever I had something I needed to discuss with them. Not my direct super then his then someone else would talk to the Boss, just me, straight up the...

    What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

    Interesting side note on clearances, I waited over 2 years for my renewal when I was a member, retired without it going through (yes I followed up regularly) Started my new position with a Crown Corporation, submitted paper work, lo and behold it came through within 2 months... go figure? I now...

    What does your workplace/cubicle/office/hole in wall etc need

    I would appreciate a window in my work space. Currently my view is my monitor and the standard, off white, wall behind it. Oh yeah and several assorted sticky-notes with random scribblings on them... I guess I shouldn't complain about those, after all it's a refereshing splash of colour ;-)

    What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

    Really? Small market TV audience? How come all of the playoffs were televised on Canadian networks and not on US ones?? NBC only stepped up to the plate for the finals and probably only because there is an American team in it, they had to fit it in around the NBA finals apparently. Pfftt!

    WHY THE FU#K DOES YOUR 10-YEAR OLD NEED A SMARTPHONE?

    Or this for emergency communications. Minimal but satellite accessed. http://www.findmespot.com/en/index.php?cid=101 Yes I understand that FB acct holders can hide information from certain users but common sense must prevail, if your kid spends an hr on FB and you don't get any status updates...

    Favourite War Movies

    Nobody said that SPR was a documentary. It's a feature film, a work of art and I take it as such.  :2c:

    Right to Refusal of Unsafe Working Conditions

    (Insert Common Sense Icon Here) I have refused unsafe work for my self and subordinates in the past. I have also sanctioned risky practices while in an operational setting.  Situation dictates, if there's a lightening storm and you want the drip in your office fixed rest assured I will not send...
