I'm surprised there wasn't anything about, "Hey, my brothers friends cousins sister knows _input random name_, they are in the Army too...do you know them?" That one gets my husband all the time, lol. "did you learn any Arabic? Durka, durka, durka" hahaha

Great video...liked on Facebook and shared the video. Also, they mentioned some stats about US War Vets and suicide, just to put it out there for anyone who wants to read up some more about that, the New York Times has done some really great series on their website following the war and the...

Unbelievable...soldiers have to worry about their lives enough while deployed overseas, they don't need people attacking them in the streets in Canada. So disgusting...But similar incidents have happened to other people that I know...not as serious as throat slashing but in particular my sister...

Kids have no fear anymore! They aren't afraid of their parents, or teachers, or failing because no one has taught them to look at the bigger picture. Having three nieces, 15, 13, 11 and a nephew, 11 I do a lot of head shaking. They rarely have to earn anything, they just find a way to barter or...

Reading a few right now....just picked up some doozies! The Sociopath Next Door - apparently 1 in 25 Americans have no conscience...it's essentially about being able to pick them out in your life. Without Conscience - The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us - haven't gotten much further...

I went through some of the process for RCMP, my husband is military so I was asking those same questions. I was told by multiple RCMP officers that no matter what anyone tells you the RCMP has little to no tolerance with accommodating non-RCMP couples. If your spouse was also RCMP that would be...

Oh roll up the rim...I have been playing that game for about 8 years now...in that entire time I have won 2 times....and I drink coffee everyday during roll up the rim....one in six chance by butt! but yet, every year I still play, lol.

Checking out a book called the "The Lucifer Effect" - about good people can do bad things if placed in the right situation with the right circumstances. Pretty good so far! He uses the Standford Prison Experiment and the Abu Ghraib fiasco amongst others as examples...

It depends on where you apply for a job. Have you ever applied for the government? Almost all of the jobs I have applied for stress that a degree is either a necessity or an advantage over those who do not have one. As far as Government not stressing it, have you never heard a Liberal speak...

I get it, trust me, if I had of thought more about it I may have done things differently. I mean that it wasn't like someone gives you a cheque for $40 000. I got a student loan so I recieved money in installments throughout my 4 years in University. I guess I didn't really add it up until it...

Who doesn't love a good clean debate?  ;D

I know there are other people who have posted similar attitutudes but I have just quoted what you said as it is the most recent.   I think it's really easy to blame those who choose to go to University and get a "useless" degree as some of you have stated. Easy, and really ignorant. Different...

I'm not sure. When I took the test in...2008...I think? They just told me that I qualified for every trade in the CF except Officer but because I was getting my degree it didn't really matter. When I spoke with the recruiting centre they said that they would have to request a waiver for me to...

I was told that if you don't score high enough for Officer on the CFAT but you have a degree you have to receive a waiver for DEO. If that applies to you, that might be it.  :)

What an amazing story! And he was only 21! Love to hear about these stories.

Good Day Everyone,     I am in a Criminology program and they want us to do Informational Interviews with people working in our preferred field. I need at least one name by Friday but I don't have to do the interview right away if that doesn't suit you. I was just wondering if there are any...

I had just started grade 10 and we were on break. My best friends mom came running, panicked, into our school lobby, saw us and started crying. She ran over to us and said she just needed to see us, to make sure we were ok. She then told us what happened, about the towers being hit. Everyone was...

Since we had to make laws to make people realize that texting and driving was a bad idea, assuming people would have enough common sense to not do so in a meeting seems like a stretch.  ;) But common sense to me, yes. And I was too afraid of most of my Prof's to even turn my phone on in class...

As a woman not in the CF (and no hardcore feminist) I think there are standards for a reason. If you can pass the standards and perform well, why shouldn't you be afforded the chance to serve your country in a way that interests you? Everyone I know feels the same, civilian and military. The...
