3-1 empty net. Oh yeah, it's done. DG

2-1 now with 5 min left. Not dead yet.... DG

Haven't you heard? *BSD is dying. Netcraft confirms it! ;D (This is a game of "spot the geek reference") DG

Slowaris? Blech! Although it could be worse; it could be AIX. DG

Here's hoping that, irrespective of the gender of the recipiant, that the issuance of this medal stays rare. DG

Thanks. Is that 50km range with the A+ with the big mast antenna, or with the standard vehicle whip AMU mount antenna? DG

Any chance I could get a citation on the PAM for this? The paper is due this week. My own efforts on the DIN have proved fruitless. I need the TX wattage and expected range for: 1) 521 with whip 2) 522 with whip on "medium" 3) 522 vehicle mount, on "high", AMU antenna 4) 522 vehicle mount...

BINGO! That's it right there; carve it in marble and glue it to the Adj's desk. The percentage of actual dead-weight oxygen thieves (and there are always a couple) in any given unit is always very, very small. If you have an ATTENDANCE problem, then you have a TRAINING problem. If training is...

You make him sound like some sort of cult leader. Gen. Dallaire didn't generate this kind of loyalty through personal charisma; he earned it the hard way, by demonstrating, time and time again, his overarching concern for the success of his mission, the welfare of his troops, and above all, the...

I'm one of them: CMR 87-91 There are few officers from whom I have learned so much, and he is of VERY few who I would follow anywhere, unhestatingly, without question, because I trust his judgement and his ethics. Nobody is pefect, and not every decsion he has made has been the right one - but...

I could not possibly disagree more. To accuse Gen. Dalliare of playing partisan politics is beyond the pale. DG

There is supposedly a press conference called for 2000 tonight. We've got friends and soldiers in the Windsor Police. DG

The Canadian involvement in Afghanistan is NOT "us vs Islam"; not even "us vs radical Islam". We are there because an organized terrorist group used Afghanistan as a staging and training area with the tacit (perhaps explicit) support of the then-current government. These terrorists staged a...

Is there any way you can provide more details without giving away the farm? I'm curious to see what kind of incidents are forgivable in Canada but unforgiveable in theatre. I totally don't care (and don't want to know) about the actual people involved - I'm not asking for gossip. But I smell...

Zulu Charlie, The RCR RSS Sgt with the Scottish spent time in Haiti working alongside the local constabulary. He has been acting as the urban warfare SME for unit training, and his observations about Haiti have been very useful and amplify what pbi is saying here. Once your paperwork is done...

The liquid boot polish that comes with a little sponge on the end is a good way to blacken boots in a hurry and weighs next to nothing. One must keep up appearences. But yeah, if I'm going to have to hump stuff, there will be a massive transfer of stuff out of the ruck and into the kit bag -...

There really wasn't anything special about "male" vs "female" - they were just different weapons configurations for similar hulls. Could just as easily been "A" and "B" or "left" and "right" or whatever. Probably just somebodies' sense of humour. DG

As somebody who has been racing Mitsubishi-powered vehicles for almost a decade... you can't hurt a Mitsubishi engine. They're indestructable. They take absolutely stupid levels of abuse and never complain. The race car has a 2 litre turbocharged 4G63 4-banger in it, and it makes a...

Why not use the same standard we used with Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan? DG

Well, like I said, "better have than want" etc. That's actually quite a bit less than what was the Official Standard Load for 1 CMBG HQ back in the day... but we were always operating out of vehicles and never had to hump anything. DG
