    This is why you're fat

    Because wrapping bacon around ANYTHING keeps the good juices inside..... and yes, the British breakfast classic I put up DOES indeed look rather nasty..... A heart attack just waiting.

    Here's some Dragoon's training in the light recce role..... note the ease with which they can dismount quickly and go from a mounted recce to a foot patrol....  :blotto:

    Deep fried coke, followed by deep fried twinkies and for a healthy twist, deep fried salad.

    And for a quick snack how's about a deep fried MARS bar?

    This is why you're fat

    How about a British breakfast classic to whet your appetite? A breakfast sandwich using bacon fat fried toast, sausage, eggs, gobs of cheese and assorted condiments. YUMMY..... come on, you'd eat it.

    Treadmills

    I've found that the treadmill is deceiving..... after being at a desk job for nearly two years and not getting regular PT, I was posted to 2RCR this past APS. So, for the month before I left Petawawa, I ran everyday for 10 km's on my treadmill, and continued that after I arrived in Gagetown for...

    Can you help with Cap badge & Uniform of my G. Grandfather

    Just to add a quick point..... during WWII, many Canadian POW Camps were guarded by overage men too old for the Canadian Army Overseas. These men were more often than not, ex-servicemen who saw service in WWI.

    Students view of Canadian military power changing?

    Well, we are where we are today due to our past. After WWII, we became the world's first "middle" power.  We have a history of consistently punching above our weight and continue to do so to this day. It isn't really a new thing with regards to our relative strength...... we just seem to be...

    CANFORGEN 97/08 LDA FAQs

    I plan to open one of those TFSA accounts and drop my LDA in there each month. I already have a budget with mine and 9D's money...... so I figured that TFSA would be the best way to use this new cash.

    Students view of Canadian military power changing?

    Other factors could well be playing into their opinions and thoughts as well. Those recruiting ads have been bombarding the television and radio for years now. Words like "combat" and "war" are being used on the news regularly. That term "peacekeeping" is slipping to the outer periphery when it...

    Help: Offence of Impersonating an Officer?

    I'm gonna start digging.... I remember a few years ago reading about a man in London, Ontario who was nailed for impersonating an Army Captain. He used to wander around the downtown area in a set of impeccable CF's and a briefcase.... board buses and just float around town in CF's. I think he...

    Afghanistan: Why we should be there (or not), how to conduct the mission (or not) & when to leave

    Now after reading a piece by Brennan Cruse from the link on the first page of this thread, I'm now at 95% he didn't author this piece on Afghanistan. Take a read of his story on the joy of discovering reading and you can tell the difference is grammer, scentence structure and punctuation.....

    CANFORGEN 97/08 LDA FAQs

    When it comes, it comes..... this is bonus money, nothing more. What will be interesting with this LDA is to see how many members get themselves into bad financial spots. Picture it - Soldier belonging to a Reg Force combat arms Regiment starts getting monthly LDA..... say he's in the second...

    Afghanistan: Why we should be there (or not), how to conduct the mission (or not) & when to leave

    Well, upon learning that it was authored by a 10 year old, I was rather stunned. How can such a young lad have such well written views on the war in Afghanistan? Hence my initial post on this thread expressing concern for if the true author is using this youth as a nom de plume....... I am...

    Afghanistan: Why we should be there (or not), how to conduct the mission (or not) & when to leave

    You can say it needs alot of editing all you want...... I think it is an incredibly eloquent piece to be written by a 10 or 11 year old. Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with it, but I give credit to such a young lad for being able to put together such a well written piece. Now it begs the...

    Judge blasts acquitted reservists

    We as members of the CF are held to a higher standard and so we should be. We are the defenders of rights and liberties for all Canadians. These men were accorded due process and a jury acquitted them. They were presented with all the evidence and facts and decided the 3 members be free to...
