Thanks for posting that armymedic, a great read.    :salute:

I think dreams can be much more than that.  I dreamed my mother's death the night it happened, at the time it happend.  When I say I dreamed it, I mean I actually felt like I was wide awake and dying.  It was very difficult to sit up in bed, but I did, and when I stood up the feeling vanished...

I believe in psychic phenomena, but I am skeptical about most psychics.  I'm sure there are many legitimate ones out there, but I think most are charlatans.  Although I do remember once as a kid I was over at a friend's house during Christmas.  My friend's more aunts, uncles, and cousins were...

Hey thanks Recce Man, much appreciated.  I had a few smokes that day and wasn't going to apologize to anyone - daughter included.  I'm back on the wagon again.  We'll see how it goes though.  One day at a time. :salute:

I fell off the wagon this past weekend.  I was on my way to my sister's wedding Saturday when a head-on collision happened in front of me.  I needed a smoke after that one, it was waaay too close for comfort.  So, I'm starting back at square one again, something that it seems a lot of people...

I got the impression CBC was putting a rather negative spin on the Minister's visit.  It seemed to me that they were implying he was just there on a junket to do some "gladhanding" with troops who were "assigned via email to show up for the meet & greet".  Great sense of humour on the maintainer...

I have a friend with parents in Romania, and according to them the Romanian media isn't saying much at all other than that there has been an 'incident' due to an economic dispute.  According to them the Iranians have withdrawn all the military pers but left 3 police on the rig as observers.  No...

Was this today's Ottawa Citizen?  I'm interested to read the article.

Interesting article - I would love to hear more about it when the guys get home!

Same saying, just in a newfie dialect. :)

Here is a link to a story on the subject:  http://news.sympatico.msn.ctv.ca/TopStories/ContentPosting.aspx?feedname=CTV-TOPSTORIES_V2&newsitemid=CTVNews%2f20060813%2ftaliban_fighters_dead_060821&showbyline=True When I first read the story my initial reaction was 'screw them', but you guys have...

As an SME on unsuccessful relationships, my suggestion would be to start planning you exit strategy - not from the military, but from the relationship.  I think most people on this board would agree that being in the military is a big part of who they are, and not just something they do.  And in...

The only negative thing I have to say about my military experience thus far is that I started smoking.  It was one day onmy SQ course that was so unbelievably cold I thought I was going to lose my mind.  It was the one day i've ever had in the army where I said to myself hey maybe I'm not cut...

I received my small pack last winter, but I've never even taken it out of the plastic.  I use my CPGear cadpat patrol pack all the time though.  I brought it when I took my daughter to Normandy for the 60th aniversary of D-day.  It got a lot of looks and questions, but because of that I also met...

Box lunches - ewwww.  Give me an old IMP any day - even ham steak in pineapple sauce.  It seems that every time I get a box lunch, usually from Petawawa or Conaught, the bag containing the sub is on the verge of popping due to the built up air pressure inside the bag - never a good sign.  I've...

My favourites... General Hillier is the reason Waldo is hiding. Saddam Hussein wasn't found hiding in Iraq.  He was hiding in an outhouse in Dildo, Newfoundland.  General Hillier roundhouse kicked him in the head, sending him down the hole and through the center of the earth, stopping just...

Seen!  I was actually referring to the subsequent post and the hundreds of other times you have made me laugh. Hunter.

Para, Looking forward to reading your published memoirs.  You have a gift with words. Hunter

There are a zillion sniper videos on youtube.com, notnice towatch but a common theme is the number of non-fatal shots.  They really don't seem to have very good marksmanship skills, thank god for that.  I guess the acronym 'HABIT' must not translate well to arabic. Well done all involved -...

would have better if she was one of the Naked News girls doing the rap...
