Nothing wrong with pushing your old man up the greasy pole. I sent my spouse to medical school.

Is Naval Intelligence with the Nav Res a good route? I understood they integrated, no longer Naval Control of Shipping, I wonder how that is going?

My search fu is weak. 

Does anyone remember the email joke that went around a few years ago - "Things you don't say to the cops when they pull you over"? The only one I can remember is "Don't you guys have some sort of fitness standard your supposed to keep to?

Read the whole post. The wallet card is bonus. The code sets the minimum standard we all adhere to.

I think the use of force lectures the cops get should be given to the troops in their ROE and Laws of War lectures too. People seem to forget that the Criminal Code sets the minimum ROE for us as Canadians, the wallet card is bonus. As they learn about the levels of force and the sections of the...

Exactly. Lives are at stake, pain compliance only works if it can lead to injury when resisted, and we are all subject to the criminal code. In terms of the use of force decisions, and the physical technology, and the paperwork afterward, the gap has narrowed to negligible. For that reason...

Truth. Speakin of being motivated by watching a guy do chins, some of the people who hang out at the rock climbing places can do a bunch of chins with two fingers, or one arm. Kinda awesome. For best results try not to hang from the rope all the time like me.

There's no help for that, little guys have an inherent advantage in these events. All you can do is be smug because chicks dig tall guys. If you are carrying any extra weight that might be a problem too. For me every ten pounds of beer belly is a couple of fewer chinups I can do. Even big legs...

The penitentiaries are full of people who are proven to be fast, hard, and 110% aggressive. Who are willing to take lives inches in front of their eyes. Perhaps we should turn to them for instruction. I'm sure Timmy Taliban is just as much the hard man as you are. Did you forget that the...

Thing is, I don't think the memo was addressed to you. Or the general public for that matter. It was addressed to all the faceless people, behind the bland corporate facade, who know something about the company, and the situation.

I clicked on ALL and my computer choked. Must be time to clean the BS filter. Reading through page by page, I think some bandwidth could be saved by noting that there already exists a discussion site solely devoted to the effectiveness of the various martial arts, known as Bullshido.com. As...

They could , on the other hand, give you some serious OPSEC and PERSEC advice.

A Majoor, your link gets me a 404 error and I couldn't find the article with google, do you have another way to get that article? Xenobard, if the Irish can bury their hatchets, anything is possible. What we need is some kind of Taliban Gerry Adams. Is there someone who is (plausibly deniably)...

It's interesting how these guys seem to have a regimental family. When threatened they mobilize the Honoraries and alumni just like any other unit. Combat makes it so I think. Any security company I worked for had more in common with McDonald's than a regiment.

This is true, and it's never gonna change. I bet if we talked to some Russian and Czechoslovakian officers from back in the day, we'd learn that their interoperability was less than they wanted it to be also. A boiler room full of LOs is the simplest and cheapest solution. Compare the cost of a...

Which weapons? Who? What do you mean less than squeaky clean? Not saying your wrong but I thought we were careful. If we sell weapons to thugs, why haven't I heard of this from the NDP and the other anticapitalist wingnuts. Granted, I don't read the papers anymore, but I should be able to hear...

That looks like a good analysis. The problems of training and support are budget problems which may or may not be addressed with the new port and the new attention from Gov't. I'll let the recce gods debate what needs to be carried on a recce patrol. I led one, in my entire career, in Wainright...

That's true, but their capability drops off sharply at surprisingly short ranges. If you are letting them inside your Tueller distance with regularity, again I recommend a shotgun. They don't usually wear armour and eight or nine rounds with each trigger pull will maximize your odds of hitting...

Hey FredRanger. I had a Ranger cover me with a shotgun while I set up an antenna in Churchill. So you could say, without too much exaggeration, I've already bet my life on your organization. He took us to the dump to see the bears too. He was a cool guy but the ex didn't give him any chance to...
