    Worldcup 2006 (Note: May contain spoilers if you are recording games)

    Sorry, but it hasn't...  I don't disagree that there are spares, but the spare linesman is exactly that, a spare.  There are still only 4 refs that have any say on the game as it's being played.  (If I wasn't clear, that's what I was getting at... 4 officials that can effect the outcome of the...

    Worldcup 2006 (Note: May contain spoilers if you are recording games)

    Technically, there's 4 officials...  Head ref, two assistant refs (linesman) and the fourth official who runs the benches. T

    Worldcup 2006 (Note: May contain spoilers if you are recording games)

    I agree.  Sure, he can score the occasional goals, (his record still isn't as good as Owen's, btw) but he is NOT a complete player.  Given how refs treat England in Euro / coupe de Monde, I'm not too stressed if he stays on the bench.  Lamps, Ger and Owen (and out of no-where the hat-tricked)...

    Halifax Class vs Iroquois Class in rough seas

    I haven't as of yet spent much time on our big boats, but I've done a pile of sailing...  Aside from being insanely jealous from those buggers who don't get sea sick ( :nana: ) just be ready for it.  (ie don't wait until you're chucking up on the bridge sans bag before you say anything) I've...

    Role of Officer vs job of NCM [Merged]

    And really, what's so slow about that?  I'll be lucky to get my first skinny in 3 years, and my second bar in 4-5...  You don't to add hooks/bars until you can at least do the job for which you were hired.  And really, in a 25 year career, what's 3 years?  :D T

    Whar are your hot-button issues?

    I'll agree here...  Hardest thing I've ever had to do in my (brief) military career was to stop a PO who walked past a few of us newly-minted (read: wet behind the ears) officers just outside the base without saluting.  I mean, this guy probably has more years in than I've been alive, but...

    ORCA Class training vessel

    Just an FYI, looks like the Orca - Class training vessels will be arriving on time.  (There were rumours that they were going to be late...)  By the looks of it, October 2006 we'll begin to train on them.  I'm not sure of the phase out plan for the YAGs, but I believe that they'll be going out...

    Re: Falling throught the cracks as an Anti-Monarchist ?

    Just because YOU have a problem sticking with the truth, stop "jumping to conclusions" and believe that the Captain isn't an honest person.  So you lie.  Fine.  Just because you do, doesn't mean he does. You never stated a moral disagreement.  You stated something contrary and insulting...

    Re: Falling throught the cracks as an Anti-Monarchist ?

    You took a jab at my Supreme Commander, and given that she's 80 years old, and a little pre-occupied at the moment, I responded on her behalf.  ::) If you insult my men, anyone in my CoC, or my commision, I haven't jumped to conclusions.  You've led me there. I'm assuming you're not in the...

    HMCS Chicoutimi {MERGED}

    I think we're putting the screen doors on our new Northern Armed Icebreaker fleet, so they're gone as well.  :D T

    Falling throught the cracks?

    Insufficient, IMHO.  Your first reaction was over the top, and blatantly rude.  I'm stunned at how pleasant everyone has been with you and your attitude in this thread.  Lashing out at those trying to help, and then belittling them shows extremely poor character.  As does the misinformation...

    Want to join but I'm leaving for 6 months, anything I better do right now?

    Having a visit to a scheduled country will delay your application process quite a bit.  Check with your recruiter before you go.  There are cases on this website of people's reliability screening taking upwards of 2 years to complete, because of such vacations.  Good luck. T

    Ideal Fitness Training?

    If you are feeling a "pop" in your back during sit-ups, and need to roll over to get up, stop doing sit-ups. Before you continue, go seek advice from a medical professional.  It *may* be due to weaker lower back muscles, but it could be something far more serious, something which could be...

    The Caledonia, Ontario Superthread.

    I believe you need to rephrase this.  They are NOT peaceful protesters.  They have blocked traffic, lit fires, and by doing so potentially risked the lives of others.  If they were protesting peacefully, they would be marching outside a government building with placards stating their case.  Not...

    Police Application and past Youth Criminal record

    The RCMP process is much like the CF's.  If you've done bad stuff in your past, it's okay, provided you fess up to it.  During my selection process, I was in contact with several serving (RCMP) family members, and they said the same thing.  Tell them what you've done.  Tell them what you've...
