The scientific method is understandably inter-twined with ethical concerns.  I have always found that transperency is the best policy. That being said, I hope you are able to gain some clarity on the issue. Welcome to the site.

The Blood of Cuchulainn - Boondock Saints Soundtrack

Lamb of God, Trivium and Shadows Fall. When training for MM 04, I listened to Slipknot's   The Subliminal Verses.   I learned to keep my race pace off Jordinsons drumming. >:D

DOA - War

Put your helmets on... Back in battle school, I was on day 6 of the defensive ex.  I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of first light so I could enjoy a smoke.  As I bent my head down to the CGI to block the wind, I sparked my zippo and lit up.  Rising back up, I looked over at my trench mate...

I play a relatively new set of Hardies with a Warnock chanter.  It produces a decent tone that I have won several Grade 3 competitions with.  When I used to compete Grade 2, I played a set of ivory, hallmarked silver Robertsons.  My old instructor used to tell me that all things being equal, the...

In 5 years of cadets, 2 years of reserves and 8 years in the Regs, I have never found a use for anything larger than a multi-tool or 4 inch Spyderco/Benchmade.   I broke down and bought a Timberland Zambezei for Op Apollo in 2002.   I never got the chance to use it on that tour, and I have never...

A little off topic, but here is a thread discussing the pro's and con's of various multi-tools. http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/27809.0.html

I have found all three issued versions of the Gerber flimsy, prone to corrosion and tend to fold back on your fingers when subjected to any forceful use.  Also, I dislike that you have to open the pliers to access the tools, and when you attempt to pull out one tool, you get a clump you have to...

Multi-tool is the way to go. But my hatred of the Gerber prompts me to mention my personal favorite, the Victorianox Swisstool. One of the best investments I have ever made.

Hold on now, I'm very familiar with Divisional Long Range Recce.  I believe it's found on page 162 of the now defunct GENFORCE publication.

Next time you require a piece of kit from clothing stores, some TLC from the UMS, info on your pay, an urn of coffee for your buddies freezing their bits off or your travel claim finalized, try using the term "Wog"  See how much offence it does cause. I'll fire up a new topic shortly: "Maggot...

No, Evian. I like it, because backwards it spells "Naive"

Wow, they sure went all out.  ;)  I chose to grab a couple of cases from Walmart.  Gave me an excuse to go get a Hortons.  8)

Not too sure.  The PMed Techs came around at appox. 16:00hrs with a hand-out from the Base Commander and Surgeon.  If it began at 08:00hrs, then I've consumed my fair share of POL today. Guess I had better dilute it with Crown Royal.  ;D

Do not consume or use tap water until further notice. Our water supply has been contaminated with diesel fuel as a result of last nights storm. Shilo EMS is coming around warning people of the potential hazard. The Canex is offering free water to all who wish it.  You must bring your own...

It is actually not the Caduceus, but the Aesculapius. In Greek mythology, Aesculapius, son of Apollo, (often referred to as the god of medicine or healing) was a Greek healer who became a Greek demigod, and was a famous physician.   The staff of Aesculapius with a coiled serpent became the...

Lieutenant-General Fritz Bayerlein Here's one that's not to hard, but informative none the less:   What is the name and history of the snake and rod on the Medical capbadge?

The CIC Although Cadre makes it sound kind of elite doesn't it?

Thanks again for your assistance.  I dove headfirst into a DIN search today and have managed to come up with what I needed. My only final question is about the names.  Does anyone know if the CF has named the Spewar yet.  I have been told it is called the Vindicator and the launcher is known as...
