Your previous post completely discounted education degrees. Being a tutor or having been a student in a bad teacher's class does not give you any qualifications to discount this type of degree. An educational degree does, in fact, set you up with the skills needed to be a teacher. Like any...

Indeed. I think some people do it on purpose to get attention. Same as when they 'accidentally' pull out their DND ID at a bar instead of a normal ID, or wear small packs on campus, or course shirts in class etc etc. Can't say I'm ashamed of my job, but I don't feel the need to let the world...

I tend to not like looking like a tool in front of people, so I can't say I've ever done something like that. 8)

There are lots of bad parents out there. Lots. Huh? Tutoring a few friends does not make you qualified to discount education degrees. Teaching in the public school system is frustrating beyond all imagination, I'm sure ex-Sup can attest to that. As per what was mentioned earlier, the vaste...

Wow, really? I never would have guessed it, students with a sense of entitlement? You don't say.

Are you already a CF member going on a more advanced course, or are you headed into BMQ/BMOQ? To be honest, it all depends on your situation 'down there'. If you're still lacking some plumbing then you MAY want to let your coursemates know as you will most likely end up nude in front of your...

No personal experience here, but lots of what you learn as a log officer is transferrable to the private sector. Supply chain management, vehicle life cycle management, financial management and administration...the list goes on. If you want a CF officer job where you can easily move into a...

Good read.

How many engagements at the section/platoon level when the C7 is employed occur at 800-1000 meters (this is actually a question for those in the know)? 'Effective range' isn't as much a reference to the ballistic capabilities of the rifle as it is a reference to how the weapon is employed by...

I didn't go to the last lecture, I couldn't really be bothered and I had an assignment to finish anyways. I'm not even attending graduation as I'll be in another province (I get my degree mailed to me). I'm sick of academia and students. I've had great profs and some interesting classes but I...

This is nothing new as far as 'high education' in Canada is concerned. Although the fact that it occured in Alberta and people are letting it happen is somewhat surprising (I would expect this from the left-wing bastions in BC and Ont, not Alberta). Regardless, it's nothing new. Student...

Thats what I thought, I can't imagine what his heart rate is. Mine gets pretty elevated when I lift....I can't imagine pounding an energy drink while I do it. I generally steer clear of those things now, I sometimes have one before I go out for a night on the town if I'm tired (they really do...

I don't often agree with MedTech, but here I will. 5.11's are NOT designed for any kind of 'army' use and will fall apart on you (they aren't well made either, I was not impressed with them). Magnums and SWATs are also more 'police' boots then 'army' boots but they hold up better. I prefer boots...

There are a couple of boot threads on the site and a couple of geardos. Search for those threads and give them a gander, may help. I give the Magnums a thumbs up, and so far the SWATS are comfy do. Went for a 'nature' walk with my ruck with them out of the box, only one very minor red spot...

Thats an interesting article, considering at the gym tonight I saw a guy on the machines with a Monster energy drink with him. Would do a set, have a few sips, repeat. I thought it was odd, but maybe thats why.

Neato. Look Cool Factor.

I'm going to assume you just googled 'Regular Officer Training Plan' and looked at the first 'official' link that came up (thats what I just did)? I agree with George, there's something wrong with that quote. Rest assured living in residence is not mandatory for civvie-u students, the quote is...

I was worried someone might take that the wrong way. I know you guys did do that kinda stuff just not to the extent other people in the CF do. Kinda neat to hear that you guys send people to Nijmegan, is it a generic 'CIC' team or a corp team composed of cadets? And IMHO, I wouldn't want to do a...

Living in residence at a civilian university is not mandatory. It is mandatory to 'live in' at RMC et al, but not if you attend a civilian school. I'd like to see the link you got that from so I could maybe help you understand what it is saying. Also, PLD is designed to cover a variety of...

Only wear the one set of insoles, the second is an extra pair. Honestly, go buy your own as the issued ones are garbage. I wear orthotics courtesy of her most gracious majesty the Queen, however there are plenty of good ones out there. I know you're CIC and won't be doing a heckuva lot of...
