    In reply to all the liberal bashing

    I'm still waiting for someone to tackle this one...  I won't hold my breath. T

    Forces may ice ships

    Have you compared the cost of both?  A quick google on the price difference should have occured to you, and would potentially have kept you from trolling (ahem!).  Bonne chance! T

    MARS Officer

    In regards to NOAB?  I highly doubt any university or university professor would have a problem altering exams / paper due dates for something like this.  Ask, and if they say no, talk to your dean. T

    Second Language Training (in english)

    It depends.  You might be posted out here (Esquimalt) if there's a large enough class, or you might stay in St. Jean, I know MARS officers learing both french and english at both locations. And, before you specialize, get MARS training done.  We have one of the highest failure rates, so get...

    Research on CF pay system

    As a tax student, you must be acutely aware that if different groups of people receive different tax benefits, that this causes problems with the rest of the taxpayers, and rightly so. Um, why are you asking us about how we're taxed?  Very few (if any) of us here have more than a cursory...

    Lieutenant defies US Army over ‘illegal’ war

    To be honest, I believe that many of the comments directed at some form of physical/capital punishment are a bit over the top.  Vindictiveness can be satisfying, but I believe that the US JAG is handling this admirably.  As has been stated, the (soon to be ex-) Lt has political aspirations, and...

    ORCA has passed her first test!

    Thanks, Mich.  :)  Sounds like Venture will be using them starting this spring.  That would be nice... T

    ORCA has passed her first test!

    I thought it was more regulated than that...  ARen't the limits 2 drinks per day, and not within 8 hours of your shift, or am I being naive? T

    ORCA has passed her first test!

    She left this morning, going to pick up Air det, methinks. T

    ORCA has passed her first test!

    You know, there isn't one onboard the Stennis...  Kinda weird eating in the mess that's as big as the wardroom in Esquimalt on board ship...  :D  Food was pretty good, too.  Mind you, no booze on board...  Silly heathens.  ;) T

    ORCA has passed her first test!

    Yeah, that was pretty neat.  I was on board the Stennis for a while today, but I still managed to see the Orca wet.  Fantastic! On a side note, the Stennis is HUGE!!  It was kind of unique walking around on board and not smacking my head in to, well, everything.  A little odd returning salutes...

    Becoming a Pilot in the CF.

    As a DEO, I call BS.  I'm highly motivated not because I got my degree on my own.  I'm highly motivated because I love what I'm here for, and I motivate myself accordingly.  We have a pile of RMC kids going through the ropes here right now, and they are no differently motivated than those of us...

    MARS Officer

    Stop second-guessing yourself.  If you have that attitude going in, you're not going to make it.  MARS I is basic training.  MARS II is NETP-O, which is not difficult.  MARS III and IV are where it get tough, fyi.  You need to have the confidence in yourself, before anyone else will.  As for...

    MARS Officer

    You will first receive an invitation to go sit a NOAB.  (Naval Officer Assesment Board).  At the board, which is usually five days, you will be introduced to the Navy, through (usually) a Lt. (N) and a PO.  They will give you tours of the base you're at (either Esquimalt or Halifax) you'll go on...

    cd players on BMQ??

    If "Gerber multi-tool" was listed in the "things to bring to St. Jean" list you received, then by all means, bring away.  If it was not, save yourself the tool.  Don't bring it.  They will supply all you need, and while it might be the uber-ninja-sniper-multi-terrorist-killing-and-it-has-a-fork...

    On prison populations

    Then perhaps you should try and have one.  Nothing you have said has shown any evidence supporting your position that the US is heavy handed in the number of criminals behind bars...  Do they have more criminals behind bars?  Yes.  And a variety of members have shown that there could be...

    On prison populations

    So, you're not liberal then.  Their mandate is 100% against capital punishment regardless.  Also I would *LOVE* to see you provide one Canadian example of a person getting 10 years for SMOKING pot. T

    ROTP pay after graduation.

    It sickens me that a lot of troops that are going to be joining our forces are going to be seeing your posts as an introduction to the officer ranks in the military.  As for the above quote, what gives you the right to say ANYTHING about soldiers of all ranks when you've never served, and the...

    Cadet sues MoD for £20,000 after training accident left her scarred

    Yeah...  I mean, even WE make the (ch)Air Force cry when we tease.  Sensitive lot, them.  :) T
