    Army.ca Ideology -- what is it?

    This is getting ridiculous, just troll some hot threads, see the people who have been banned, look at their profiles and tell me who you think the real problem is here. The mods and senior members or the "others"?

    OK, we've discussed China, the Sudan...

    Sounds like it has all the makings of the second coming of the cold war. Well maybe it will not be so cold this time around. If the components fit together, i.e. North Korea, Cuba et al, then yeah we have a real mess on our hands. But never mind that, there are people in africa that need to be...

    Canadian soldiers return to Kandahar

    Thanks Armymedic and welcome back to the world. Glad you and everyone else came home safely. Of course I don't get my A-stan news from the media, I get it here at army.ca! I feel much like yourself, the safety net that's been cast by the media is quite false. People quickly remember the tragedys...

    Canadian soldiers return to Kandahar

    Hey Franko, thanks for dropping a line. Of course we are aware it's not like Iraq, however do you think it has that potential? Are you there now with the PRT (sorry, if it's opsec or persec, please ignore) I imagine it must be a tad bit more stressful that the TFK rotos were. Thanks.

    Suspect's tale of travel and torture

    I was in Morocco for 18 months. Once they began this, they would do it to me about once a month. One time I asked a guard: "What's the point of this? I've got nothing I can say to them. I've told them everything I possibly could." "As far as I know, it's just to degrade you. So when you leave...

    How about incorporating it all into a Ranger style course. Seems to be the best of soldiering and airborne. Thoughts!

    Army.ca Ideology -- what is it?

    I see Bruce will be along shortly to help sort out your issues  ;D As for this board, I think you will find that there are two distinct types of threads, Opinion and Fact. Now everyone has an opinion, it's normal human behaviour and if you think it through, formulate it and then type it in a...

    Shin Splints, Blisters, and PT [Merged]

    Hey Paracowboy, this is fantastic stuff you have going here, keep up the good work. A word about something you mentioned way back in your earlier posts about muscle weighing more than fat. That's not actually the case, of course a pound of muscle and pound of fat are...well both a pound. What...

    question?

    Soooo, you're willing to do anything to get into the military, including but not limited to lying. Yet you will not go to your doctor and get some testing done. What seems to be the crux here is you are looking for a shortcut, in combat situations, I hear shortcuts get people killed. What in the...

    Coolest shows on tv.

    Bauer will be back on 24, didn't you watch the trailer for the new season at the end of last season? It gives a synopsis of what's been done so far and then says, "wait until you see what Jack Bauer does next" Sounds like it's going to be fun. My absolute favorite show right now is Deadwood...

    Physical Fitness (Jogging, Diet, Cardiovascular, and Strength )

    That's been the way of thinking for many years Fatwog, unfortunately, like many of our nutrition and exercises principles over the last 25 years or so, it's slowly being proven wrong. There is evidence that high intensity cardio burns body fat up to 9 times faster than typical 'long slow' low...

    Physical Fitness (Jogging, Diet, Cardiovascular, and Strength )

    Not to steal Steve's thunder, but HIIT is as simple as it sounds, High Intesity Interval Training. Basically, warm up for 5 mins or so, then go about 80 - 90% of your max for anywhere from 30 - 60 secs and then go at about 60% for about 1-2 mins (depending on how long your High interval was) I...
