From a purely commercial perspective, a good dose of fear does mean better ratings.  No one would buy a newspaper or watch a news show if all they had to say was "All is well, you have nothing to worry about."  What entices people to watch is a tagline like "this common household item could KILL...

FYI the SKS is non-restricted.  :fifty: If you want some real non-restricted firepower personally I would call up the great folks at Marstar (they really are good to deal with) and have them send down one of these http://www.marstar.ca/semi-mg/live-M2HB.htm A .50 Cal M-2 Browning MG...

I'd like to add my condolences as well  :cdn:

Hey, does anyone know how to get that one, it'd be like hunting season year 'round!   :gunner: All the pigeons you can eat!    ;D

You mean you actually managed to stay awake through the whole thing? my hat's off to you  :salute: But seriously I'm a volunteer search and rescue guy and we do deal with some fairly ugly stuff, we do body recoveries for the coroner's service, evidence searches for the RCMP, and many of our...

Thanks! much appreciated   :D I wasn't serious about dropping SARTechs from a C-172 (I should've made my sarcasm a little more obvious), although it would be fun, a tad cold and breezy this time of the year though considering you'd have to fly with a door off.   I think contour searching in an...

Absolutely, I completely agree with their decision to keep the buff in Comox, but if something happens to that one it will mean that the only servicable fixed wing SAR assets in BC are civillian, and as much as we can perform the search role it is quite difficult to deploy a SARTech from a C-172.

Well I was supposed to be going for a Buffalo ride tomorrow, for a CASARA training lift.   They called this morning and said they weren't comming because 5 out of the 6 Buffs were unavailable due to mechanical trouble   >:( so they needed to keep the last one in Comox in case something happened...

Interesting survey, I'd like to see the results when it's done.

I loved Zulu, but you can stop right there about Sink the Bismark that movie was great! (Johnny Horton did a good song about it too)

The Winchester Model 94 and Marlin 336 are common lever action deer rifles.  My uncle hunts deer with a Model 94 in 30-30 Winchester (I use one of my Lee Enfields BTW).  You would not find a Model 94 Winchester in the aresenal of any armed force.  Also a saddle ring is for tying your rifle to...

I nearly had a case of Rememberance Day rage today. I was at the Rememberance Day ceremonies today at the cenotaph in Prince George.   During the two minutes of silence this ******* not only answers his cellphone but carries on a full on conversation.   I could feel my cheeks turning red and I...

After seeing that nearly everyone here seems to like Full Metal Jacket I went out and rented it.  Great show, but I noticed one major inaccuracy.  In the scene titled : Guest of Honour the guy who is sitting next to the "guest of honour" has what appears to be a Winchester Model 94 (or maybe a...

My mother was a tough sell.  What I found was that she had a lot of misconceptions and bad information about the forces.  All I did was try to educate her.  I am very well researched and whenever she brought something up I was able to respond in a calm and intelligent manner, and I was able to...

When I did my CASARA navigator training, and my PPL it was "True Virgins Make Dull Company"  ;D

I was in bed when it happened (I'm in B.C.) when I got up I waddled bleary eyed into the living room where the T.V. was on CNN, I din't say anything, I just stood there, in my underwear, absolutely in awe of what was going on.  After about half an hour of standing I sat down and called almost...

I'm presently doing my degree by correspondance with the British Columbia Open University.  I don't have the time right now to go to a regular school.  Also there are lots of universities that offer distance ed, and web based courses.  I was one of the people who got nailed when they axed ceotp...

Hello, I got a phonecall the other day from a recruiting officer at CFRC Vancouver saying that the CEOTP (which I had applied under as a pilot) was cancelled, and that the decision came down from "The General level". I was just curious if anyone has had a similar experience, and if anyone...

Hi, I had my PT test last week, and they were really picky about the pushups, your hands have to be placed just so, and you have to go down till you touch the floor, and up until your elbows are fully locked. If you keep working hard at it, you‘ll get it. Good luck!!

I think whiteout is ok, I used a fair amount on my application, and my interview is on Wednesday.
