Happy New Year! I'm off to the Mess and the New Year's ball tonight. Haven't done that in years but I thought that Mrs IHS would appreciate a chance to gussy up a little and cut a rug. It's kind of a farewell for me too as I'm proceding to Ottawa on IR as of Jan 14. One last chance to say...

Yeah how about stop paying people not to work every year for 5 or 6 months in the resource sector too.

Yeah and then the DS start to yell really loud at you and call into question your lineage....oh I forgot they're probably not allowed to do that anymore.  ;D

I just can't see why this kid would want to accept the nomination. If it was me I'd be heading for the hills never mind school.

Very very cool. Man that guy was low off the water. that would have been cool to see.

He may have washed his hands but it was his soldiers who killed Jesus not the locals. Mt 27:27. "Then the soldiers of the Governor took Jesus into the Governor's Headquarters and they gathered the whole cohort around him...." the narrative continues that they then beat him without mercy and...

Dress nice....means absolutely nothing to most people today. It's a subjective thing anyway. To some people "nice" means a suit with dress shoes...to others it's their finest ACDC T-shirt, baggy jeans  and untied runners (don't forget the sideways baseball cap)...at the end of the day it's...

Pilate was the ruthless Governor of an occupied country. His superiors were even more ruthless than he was. They didn't care who Pilate killed or tortured or suppressed as long as he kept the peace, intimidated the population into submission and kept the economic channels to Rome open and...

This editorial appears in the Chronicle Hearald in NS this morning. It must be said that police here in NS are not using the Taser very much although there was a guy recently who died in holding cells after an incident where he was tased. There has not been any conclusive evidence that the...

What da ya mean?? ;D

:rofl:  Yup that's pretty much it. Mind in neutral, butt in gear.

I see. Another case of the criminals having more rights than they deserve eh? I would think that civilians that work on Defence establishments are subject to the same rules as all of us. If you have secret documents, weapons, DND property or illegal substances hidden on your person or illegally...

I love the hovercraft video. Just think if we had a few of those we could get you Army boys into some neato places eh?? ;D

And why would they not be able to legally use the dog? Is that some barrack room lawyer that's said that cause I've never heard of that before. they used a dog to sniff everyone's luggage when we were coming back from tour in 93 in Cyprus and we had a dog in Petawawa in the early nineties and a...

http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20071227/pakistan_sharif_071227/20071227?hub=TopStories It was just a matter of time considering the foolishness going on in that country.

NOTE. The name of the outfit that the majority of members here belong to is called The CANADIAN Armed Forces."  It's for Canadians and those who don't consider being one "rigmarole." :cdn:

That's quite an odyssey.  Assuming you speak Chinese and know a thing or two about the culture one would have thought you'd be a tremendous assest in the Intelligence world. I hope they have some good news for you in the new year. Good luck in your application.

It's a throwback to pre-unification. In the pre 1968 days all persons in the Naval uniform wore naval buttons (they were different depending on whether you were a PO a Chief, an officer or a Flag Officer) regardless of your trade...you were all members of the RCN. Same thing with the Air Force...

That and cleaning stations! ;D

Ptes get to choose where they waste their time now? Interesting. I think any posting is as boring as you want to make it. We spent 3 years in Goose Bay and had a ball. We got ourselves a skidoo and got into the local scene of outdoors activities and entertaining in each others homes. We just got...
