    "The Hurt Locker" new feature film on EOD/bomb squad GIs in Iraq

    If your getting shot at by the enemy are you just going to stand there and wait for death to come or are you going to try something... he's surely not qualified as a sniper but a gun is a gun and they mostly work on the same basic principles.

    Naval Officers Once Again to Wear the Executive Curl

    A NCdt with a mess kit, that would be money thrown out the window...

    Naval Officers Once Again to Wear the Executive Curl

    Of course it won't... but it's the only accurate way (depending of the OOW really) to determine for how much time a ship was at sea... Why put a 8 hour minimum if they are going to ballpark it? They could have put one day for each day the ship was at sea or for each time, on a daily basis, that...

    Naval Officers Once Again to Wear the Executive Curl

    Unless they go by the ship's log and compile everybody that were on board on each small and big trips, I don't see how they can accurately find those numbers... I sure hope it's not by the MPRR

    British soldier of the future revealed

    ya... send in Master Chief, he'll take care of the problem ;D

    Turning down RMC ??

    I totally agree with you... but at a civilian university you actually expect it, most of them are not handpicked to be the future leaders of a national organization...

    Turning down RMC ??

    I wish it was like that but after checking for myself I found that RMC the selection system is really flawed in some places... but don't get me wrong, while I was there I met some of the best people I'll ever meet but the problem is that I also had to deal with some of the most inept...

    Military Clothing on BMOQ

    The short answer would be yes... or... Do you really want to explain to your instructor why you don't have all the equipment mentioned in the joining instructions?

    Canadian Forces Recruiting Status

    I've been sick on pretty much every trip I made and even earned a nickname for it... Some days, Bonamine doesn't do squat for me, I have more chances with the Command Badge. I have fond memories of transporting the R22R from Kingston, Jamaica to Leogane, Haiti in average weather. Most of them...

    P.E.R signed after June 1st

    I've been told that about 70% of the PER make the june 1st deadline, so I assume that its not a big deal if some are late a little...

    VLS Underway Replenishment: When will the Navy get serious? from defensetech.org

    That makes two of us... The Arsenal ship is kind of cool though

    VLS Underway Replenishment: When will the Navy get serious? from defensetech.org

    More or less like cleaning your ears with a Q-tip in a roller coaster ;D

    Churchill now a nonsmoker?

    Sounds strangely like Orwell's Ministry of Truth...

    VLS Underway Replenishment: When will the Navy get serious? from defensetech.org

    Of course it can be done, but the trouble exceeds the benefits with the current technology... more or less like the moon landing when you think about it... its hard enough as it is when the ship is tied alongside at CFAD

    Military Arts and Science Program

    Yes, the DMASc and BMASc are not the same but the core part is, it seems it's only a question of credit number... As for those 6 courses, they are both given as residential at RMC and by correspondence since they are core components of many RMC degrees and diplomas. If you choose to do either...

    Element Transfer Memo

    Your CoC is right, it can't hurt you to try having a definite answer to your request, specially if you have the support of the CoC, you never know how high your memo can go... As for the memo, I believe there is not a standard format for a change of element, as long as your memo follows the...

    Occupational and Component Transfers (OT/CT/VOT) During and After BMQ (Merged)

    During my BOTC, I asked to change from Combat Eng to Naval Combat Eng but they would not do it there. I had to wait after and submit a VOT request. That was 8 years ago, it's probably different now... And really, you don't want to get your kit, label it, iron it, put it all nicely to standard...

    Military Arts and Science Program

    After I finished my Chemical Engineering degree at RMC, I found that I wanted more of the history and politics courses... so I enrolled in the BMASc at RMC, I really don't need it but it's mostly by personal interest... I got an ILP approved and am currently doing one course each semester. Like...

    Naval Officers Once Again to Wear the Executive Curl

    I think a braid version of slip-ons would be too thick to be comfortable. The way the curl is made, it had almost a 1/4 inch to the thickness, it would probably feel like wearing the sweater with shoulder boards on which is not too great a feeling and in my opinion, looks kind of strange... also...

    VLS Underway Replenishment: When will the Navy get serious? from defensetech.org

    The IRO class has only 29 of those cells and chances are that the IRO class will be going the way of the dodo before an efficient reflenishment method can be created, and again, we would need a decent replenishment vessel to do it. I dout JSS was designed to do that kind of jobs, if we ever get...
