http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2009/04/17/bc-rcmp-detachment-attacked.html Guy tries to take on an RCMP detachment (sounds like no one was home at the time)? Jesus.

I hope you like napping....and drinking (alot). That about summed it up for my course, I kept sane by going down to Toronto almost every weekend.

Not true, most trades accept V4, including most officer trades. http://www.forces.gc.ca/health-sante/pd/cfp-pfc-154/pdf/AN-Eapp1-eng.pdf

Care to explain?

Thanks for that, I'll give 'em a call. However, I should have clarified a little more, I also need a place that accepts a driver who may have had a (big) whoopsie of a traffic ticket.

Can anyone recommend a good insurance broker in the Edmonton area (for auto insurance)? Preferably one near downtown and who doesn't turn away under-25 drivers (as some brokers are known to do).

I don't doubt that, it was more of an observation on my personal feelings. (As an aside, holy tangent batman)  ;)

I don't know, my own impression as well as what has come up in discussion with people with more years served that I have years alive indicates to me that Afghanistan and the who went vs who didn't will be different then in years past...if for no other reason then it is much more of a shooting...

If the 2011 'end date' or 'mission change date' (or whatever it's called these days) holds true, then few of the troops joining now will see combat (or in my case, most of the folks going through ROTP right now will not deploy to Afghanistan in the kinds of roles they think they are). I can't...

I finished mine a week ago. :nana: Ufile is awesome. Got me a whopping big refund.

Oh I hear where you're coming from, if that is indeed the impression you got from my post I apologise. Like I mentioned, I have used a mil ID once or twice when I get double carded and I have a some 'army' shirts (the ghastly one from CAP and a log branch one) that I wear for PT and occasionally...

I'm sure you can get what I'm talking about vis a vis vet plates and support the troops stickers. Everyone else did. Don't try to turn it into flame bait.

Eh? What's that got to do with ghey t-shirt slogans? We should do up medals for those kinda things. It would make me feel better on Nov. 11th standing beside all them vets with so many medals their jackets sag. "What'd you get that one for" "Oh, that was for surviving a near-death jacking in...

Get a gym membership and get some personal training (expensive, but worth it). I can't preach the benefits of personal training enough. Also, get on a regular schedule. Erratic workouts accomplish nothing (I would know).

I wouldn't go that far. I've seen lots of guys with goofy shirts from all different trades. I think it has more to do with an inferiority complex then anything else (same reason you see so many guys wearing Tapout shirts who couldn't throw a good punch if their lives depended on it). How'd we...

The term is entirely appropriate for someone wandering around campus in his smallpack, ballistic glasses for shades (gotta protect against these errant pebbles while walking), ID disks and a BMQ/IAP course t-shirt with "pain is temporary-pride is forever" or another equally silly term plastered...

Ugh, ID disks in civvies drives me bannas. It looks dumb and both civvies and military folk alike think you're an idiot. Just like the dink here who had his out talking about how he got them issued in case he died in Afghanistan. Turns out he was 2 weeks into his weekend BMQ. Anyways, I guess...

Ahhhhhhhh. Gotcha. I wasn't sure if it was a joke or you were being serious (were you?). Credentialism can be defined as "a negative term used to describe a primary reliance on credentials for purposes of conferring jobs or social status". In other words, it refers to people getting hired for...

Indeed. How on earth would that offend me?

I think previous posts I've made on this site indicate my distaste of credentialism. However, I stand by my view that teachers are not born and a degree in education does help give the foundation needed to teach young students. My understanding of the way these degrees are taught (from a...
