I remember when they were shooting the battle scenes for Legends of the Fall near Calgary in 1993.  I was working with a guy who was an aspiring actor, and he actually had a 'speaking part' in the movie (I beleive in the credits he is listed as patient #2).  He told me they were looking for...

I just heard this morning on CFRA that the Ottawa Police Association has purchased over 1000 red t-shirts and golf shirts from the Support the Troops people, and they have another singificant quantity on order.  The Police Associations will be selling them at events Friday and Saturday if you...

I hope the truth about his military experience gets widely known.  CFRA has a small piece on their website - http://www.cfra.com/headlines/index.asp?cat=2&nid=42799 - apparently he started crying when the barber cut his hair, and somehow managed to set his curtains on fire when burning threads...

Congratulations to all finishers.  I'm a two-time 'civvie' ironman finisher, but I don't think that comes even close to being as difficult as the PET Ironman. Have any reservists ever done this race?

Great pictures Wes!  Thanks for sharing. DFW2T & Wes best wishes and I hope you stay safe over there.  First one is on me if you ever find yourselves in Ottawa.

I think you have a fair point, but it should also be noted that a number of them are wives of CF members based at CFB Petawawa.  In my mind that definitely does qualify them as 'Canadian Forces Women' Here's to ya ladies! 

True that paracowboy!

My cousin is a first-year student at Dawson. He was leaving the school as the shooter walked in.  He didn't see a weapon but he did notice him as he walked past and his intial thought was 'that guy looks pretty screwed up'.  He didn't actually hear about the shooting until sometime later. It...

Was talking to a buddy of mine here in Ottawa last night.  He is restaurant/bar owner here in Ottawa  - Grace O'Malley's East & West, and Pier 21 down in the market (as well as Grace O'Malley's in Toronto).  He says he will be happy to give a discount to any military or police types who are...

Why do they want to replace the Black Cadillac?  It's still my favourite boot.  Granted I'm not humping up and down the mountains in Afghanistan, but I have always found it to be a highly satisfactory piece of kit regardless of the weather, and still wear the MkIII instead of those black skates...

Ha ha that would be me!! :sniper:

That was the best news I heard all day.  Good on ya ladies!  And as my grandmother used to say, don't spend it all in one place! :cheers:

Obviously CADPAT TW is much better, even the guy who took the picture couldn't find it to put a circle around it!  :D

Not tryng to hijack this thread, but Youtube is my favourite at-work distraction.  There are some really awesome tribute videos and action videos for Canadians in action.  There are even video clips taken from training exercises here in Canada.  One is a video of what looks like a brutal run...

Bravo Zulu midget - well done!

Interesting thread.  I've seen a few of those videos, and one thing that strikes me is the bad marksmanship of these 'snipers'.  I would love to see the videos from another angle though, so as to see the moment when the shooter realizes that the firing range is 2-way. On the other hand, youtube...

Heh heh no problemo...honest mistake.  :salute:

StevenPreece check fire! I was quoting Klc, not you. And FWIW I prefer being a dismounted medic.  :)

YOUR Christianity?  How does that work?  Is it open-source like LINUX?  Can I get my own brand of Christianity that includes smoking, drinking, fornicating and fighting?  Can I make my own version of Heaven too? Sounds like  a new XBOX game - maybe SIM God or something.

yeah at 18 I bet you know LOADS of them eh?  Oh, wait...Nintendo Ninjas don't count.
