Just wander down to Portsmouth Olympic Harbour and look for the red and white boat.

Well, it goes without saying that municipal recycling trucks will be reclassified as Light Armored Vehicles and carry weapon pods with night sights. Don't even get me started on the close air support they can call in on people who don't separate plastics from paper, but let's just say they won't...

It's a fascinating discussion but I think it depends how you define "insurgency." I'm sure a few of you can, but leaving aside the American example and whether we really want to be arguing that once every 235 years the blue team gets to win one, I can't really think of any outside Northern...

As an aside, do any of you CBSA types on here have the figures for what percentage of border guards failed to qualify when that agency was authorized to carry sidearms, either because they were judged medically or psychologically unable, failed the actual testing or simply refused to qualify...

I'm sure I'm the only one who lives in a city where the only reason people work in bylaw enforcement is that JTF-2 had filled their recruiting goals for the year, but I wouldn't trust the ones we have to carry a clipboard without putting an eye out, let alone a sidearm.

We ought to send some of our Rangers over there to show the Taliban exactly how accurate Lee Enfields can be fired at distance.

FTFY. And I was NEVER young. ;)

If you have no luck here, PM me. Going through a PAO is a fantastic idea, just fantastic. With the pragmatism developed by years of covering the Canadian Forces, let me assure you that if you put in your interview request this afternoon, in no more than six months from tomorrow morning, you'll...

Rarely does a campaign cross my desk that I can get so quickly and completely, um, "behind." This is just so very, very awesome. Meet the SWAGs (Service Wives And Girlfriends), whose cheeky naked calendar has raised £26,000 for Help For Heroes Last updated at 8:10 AM on 21st April 2010 Their...

Think the CF will let you give a verbal contract in return? You know, you'll wear the uniform but you're sure not signing anything and you're out of there on two weeks' notice at any time without penalty? Yeah, I didn't either.

I am not concerned about an offer being rescinded due to something within my control, but what are the chances of an offer being rescinded due to a CF enrollment number change or something along those lines. Can the CF do that? A private sector firm would be courting an expensive lawsuit by...

You're innocent until proven guilty but yeah, you STILL have to show up for court where and when required or you're looking at the pointy end of a bench warrant and a dropkick into the world of pre-trial custody. I dunno how the CF looks at such matters, but from a legal POV (with the usual...

She'll still tower over many CF-18 pilots  ;D

Can. Bill. Do. The. Job? Yes. He. KAAAAAAAHHHHHHHNNNNNNN!!!!!

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Well, I just joined my first political party.

It's from an American milblog, but it's relevant:

The idea of marrying off girls almost at the moment they are physically able to bear children is atrocious to us, but we're not living in a country where life expectancy is less than 60 years and the under-5 child mortality rate is 80 of each 1,000 live births (as opposed to under 6 in Canada).
