True, killing transends all races, colours, and creeds, but the motives involved in "honour killings" seem to be highly concentrated to one particular faith and culture.  Rather than ignore and divert responsibility, maybe particular communities leaders should take a strong stand against the...

Agreed!  Chalk this one up to "live and learn".

------------------------- Dapaterson:  Thank you.  I figured there needed to be more to this that met the eye.  I appreciate the answer.  A good point is the rental, I pay in US$ funds out of a CDN$ advance to my account.  I'm not over worried about this working out right, I was more curios than...

I'm looking for a ruling from some of the clerks on the board here.  While browsing DCBA's public website, I came across this message: ----------------- Unclas 7209-30 (DCBA 3) 311848Z Oct 08 Routine DCBA3 008/08 SIC WAF NDHQ DGCB OTTAWA AIG 1764, 1840 SUBJ: CHANGES TO CANADIAN FORCES...

Also, just to be clear, this is more for curious information only.  I'm many, many years away from retirement.

Thanks Mike.  I'm looking at the flowchart now (joined early 2004).  I make it pretty far down but get slotted off at "Did Member have at least 10 years of Regular Force Pensionable Service on March 1, 2007?", so I guess I'm forced under "new benefit rules" whatever that means. The fuzzy bit is...

Hi.  Quick question with a hopeful quick answer.  How can a member tell what pension plan they're on (by that I mean 20 v. 25 year plan).  There's debate over beers among my peers that joined the same day as to which plan we're on.  Does it show on EMMA somewhere, or do I have to bother someone...

That's okay, you can have your free one.  I'm done with these forums anyways.  Sure, I have a lot to offer, but it's just way too serious and way too "FEAR THE MODERATORS" in here for me.  You want to get bent out of shape over tongue in cheek humour and wave your hammer around to show how...

Oh come on....I had something very useful to add.....Humour, something that's really missing around here.  Chill out and take a tongue in cheek remark for what it is. Okay though, you want serious, here you go. To whoever said they'd wait for the US to figure out what they're doing, bravo. ...

Why all this mucking about with Airplanes and Fuel and pilots and whatnot.  Why not just engineer us up some transporters ala Star Trek.  Easier, faster, burns less gas, more flexible, way cooler.  Blue sky thinking.

Meh.  I'd argue it has more to do with the thousands and thousands of applications the CF gets every year for the job.  A degree serves as a nice vetting tool.  Sure, that probably eliminates a bunch of otherwise qualified people, but there's no shortage of very talented, fully qualified people...

What?  That makes zero sense.  What about ROTP? First things first, from a full time point of view, your Commercial Helo Pilot licence isn't worth much except as a few talking points on the merit list.  You'll still have to bomb around on the Grob, the Harvard II, and the jet ranger (IF you get...

Umm....check out the T-6A/B based AT-6 (basically the same as the trainer but with some business making munitions no board): http://www.hawkerbeechcraft.com/military/at-6_ab/ http://www.hawkerbeechcraft.com/military/at-6_ab/R0816AT-6_LithoUpdate.pdf (*warning, PDF file)

Well, I'm pretty sure this is it.  This machine is pretty much guaranteed to make the black hole, and I can say with certainty it's probably going to eat the planet. I don't know why the scientists want this Higgs-Boson particle to be found anyways.  Wanna know why mass-less particles give rise...

There's nothing funnier than a BC guy on basic training in Farnham in late November - March. I don't know, you sound a bit like a "grass is greener" kind of guy, like you walked into the recruiting office after a night of Pepsi and Cheeto's while watching Top Gun and Jetstream (with maybe a bit...

I love "I hate Vista" threads....let me tell you my story: I'm a long time XP/Linux (Mandrake and Ubuntu) user.  I bought an HP laptop that came with Vista Home Premium on it.  I brought it home and turned it on.  What a mistake....Vista promptly drank all my liquor, made my wife cry, stole my...

thanks.  I figured it was something like that....

I've been semi-reading, semi-skimming through this.  One thing I don't know (sorry for the naievity), but what exactly is a WALT?  I'm guessing it's a poser poster, but is there an acronym here or was there a historic poster named "WALT" that did an epic job of posing?

Umm...what good is folk dancing if you can't compare it?

This is no good.  Sweet crude is running $145/bbl, and those plastic bags represent a vast source of congealed oil just waiting to enter the refinery.  Making them just go away via microbial composting is wasteful of this resourse and, well, just downright anti-Canadian. No kidding though, good...
