    Global Warming/Climate Change Super Thread

    On Kyoto:     We can make the targets if we really wanted to.  But we don't.  In order to meet the targets, at this point, we would have to do so many drastic things it would be harmfull to our economy.  What happened wasn't a surprise,  the government that signed the international agreement...

    Feels good to vent eh?  :warstory: Off topic a little,  I'm curious though.  How badly do you have to speak English to not be allowed off the boat? *runs and hides for that really bad joke*

    CF'S Beginner

    If a person is not otherwise advantageously employable,  yes you can be released.  They likely offered him the janitor position because that was all they had that he could do. If you can no longer do the job you've been hired for,  and they can't find anything for you to do, a release is very...

    How can a person write about oneself in the second person? (Without sounding odd.) Zell,  you're asking a silly question,  speaking outside of the third person always sounds odd.

    CF'S Beginner

    I mean this with respect and fully knowing that I don't know the full details of your situation.  Finish High school.  By only toughing it out for another 2 years - less if you do courses in summertime, you will substantially improve your situation FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. There are many...

    Common Army Phase

    Well,  untill recently I understood that Officers did Basic officer training course BOTC I & BOTC II then did CAP.  BMQ can be used to subsitute BOTC I.  There has been a change to the name BMOQ.  I have no idea what is going on with BMOQ for BOTC II, but I know that CAP is required for all. I...

    The importance of concentration

    Or     Of course I'd never remarry,  I don't like to repeat my mistakes. Or     Of course I would never remarry.  I made that mistake twice already,  which remids me if some lady from Las Vegas comes poking around here I'm a Dr. and my name is Steve.

    too many initial warnings?

    I'm sorry,  I thought you were worried about getting punted from your course.  I honestly believe that you have nothing to worry about.  Don't you have to do BOTC II before CAP? I know that BMQ can substitute for BOTC I ... oh well off topic. Good luck in Gagetown Sir :salute:

    too many initial warnings?

    Different instructors are different,  my experience is that 6 months after graduating BMQ your file is wiped clean.  If you get a verbal warning for not shaving after BMQ it stays on your file for a year, unless something else comes up then it stays for another year, or until your CO decides to...

    Gays in U.S. military (merged)

    Thank you,  I was going for silly. Now about that in-your-face-attitude Yes,  I know a few people who are all about being gay and proud.  Within 30 seconds of meeting them they tell you they're gay, one way or another and then inform you of how proud they are. It gets very old very fast. I...

    Gays in U.S. military (merged)

    Well,  this of course is one of the finer points that represent larger differences between us Canadians and our dear neighboUrs to the south.  I know this can be a heated debate,  I hope people look at the underlying message and not get to offended by what I write.  I know this is about...

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

    Zipperhead, I think you're 100% right on that point.  To attain a goal politicians changes their message for different groups.  It isn't about saying the right message, it is about getting the right result.  I believe that the NDP and other anti-afghanistan-mission people truly believe in their...

    Iran Moves Into Afghanistan

    You're right.  I was responding to the "you must be joking".  :warstory: Yes they are doing things that will force other countries to take action.  Apart from providing money and arms and allowing its citizens to freely go into Afghanistan,  I don't know what Iran is doing in Afghanistan, the...

    Iran Moves Into Afghanistan

    I don't think it is just Iran that is funding Afghanistan insurgency and I haven't heard of any evidence that they're involved in Sudan.  (I wouldn't be surprised if there was,  I just haven't seen it) Of course Iran is involved in a serious way in many operations,  from supplying Hezbollah to...

    Iran Moves Into Afghanistan

    Well,  I don't think anyone here is unaware of the situation in Iran.  Everyone here can agree on that current governments mindset, goals and problems.  I see it as an oppressive regime that is slowly loosing controll over its population who's primary focus is on survival of the regime. (If I'm...

    Dropped out to join, thinking about getting out to finish school - Opinions?

    I have to agree that finishing BMQ is a really good idea,  after BMQ there are still many options open to you.  One could go for a GED,  or take correspondence courses - http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/relsites/distance.html has a run down on a few that you might look into.  I think you're from...

    Another case of issued kit on E-Bay?

    100% true.  But even if one is alert,  dressing in the CF uniform does offer tactical advantages in many other situations. I am only 80% sure on this but the CADPAT isn't ever owned by a person,  it is still Property of the CF. (correct me if I'm wrong)  Even if you buy it,  you simply paid...
