My mother has early signs of dementia but as of yet doesn't need home care.  But it will come And my father, while not dementia, died of cancer last year.  His last six months were horrible. JMHO but there is a BIG difference between living and existing.  Yes you can be kept alive with tubes...

Learning how to shoot on a FNC1A1 Rifle (not gun LOL) Serial # 5L0541 made shooting and not just qualifying, but getting marksman (191/200) on an AR-15 when I joined Correctional Service Of Canada easy.  The AR-15 is like a pop gun in comparison to the FN Glad I learned to shoot on the FN Tom

I checked our regulations on badges/IDs.  I had to go on extended sick leave prior to retirement.  Once on extended sick leave, they are to retrieve my badge/ID.  Well sick leave began Oct 15, 2013.  I mailed my retirement letter June 16, 2014 (and received June 17th...sent expresspost) My...

A question to the experts out there.  Wouldn't the soldier's boots (looking at the Lance Corporal's gear, Parachute Brigade, Battle Of Arnhem picture 11) be a higher cut "jump boot"  The boots shown are ankle boots (upper right hand corner)  It seems to me they wouldn't provide enough support to...

Part of the problem, just my opinion, and only based on being in corrections, but likely disposal is based on the officer in question looking after disposal him/herself.  I know there is no requirement for us in the CSC to return our uniforms.  We are trusted to properly dispose of issued...

Thank you, that answers my question perfectly Tom

In my case that would be more a side effect around the stomach area LOL Tom :-)
