    BMQ starts soon eh?

    Good Question. (To be fair, I guess I can only really blame the recruiting process for about a year of that time, I was a bit slow getting everything together to beggin with.)

    start date of WW2

    Depends who you ask and how you want to define what exactly the 'start' of a war is. Most commonly cited, though is the third.

    Tattoo Photo Thread

    Quick question, Is there any particular reason why tattoos above the collar are no longer permissable? Is it simply a matter of looking professional or is there something else behind this?

    I can't believe how stupid you'd have to be to buy into a myth about a 'hidden agenda'. It's amounts to accusing someone of secretly plotting to do something, but does not allow the person any room to address the claim because the agenda is 'hidden'. It's a baseless accusation intended to scare...

    practice before?

    Quitting smoking is a great Idea... It's not easy though, and during the stress of the course, you are going to be craving it badly. As far as shooting and weapons handling goes, you will be taught well on course and there is no need to know anything before you start. Some instructors are going...

    Advisory!!

    That's sick. Although I do agree that the dresden bombing should be 'Regretted Enormously'. It was both justified and necessary, but the fact that it had to be undertaken is still regrettable.

    RCH - 7 Recce Regt - WW2 History

    Unfortunatly it did not, and the best I have been able to find is a list of awarded decorations which, if I am not mistaken, was in one of the links. Like I said. The Book is more along the lines of a personel narration (the type of thing CBC likes to make into a 'documentary-come-vigniette'). I...

    RCH - 7 Recce Regt - WW2 History

    Ok, I grabbed the book and read the only pertenant chapter in it (it's a personal memoir, so alot of the information has to do with general life in the UK before D-day). Battle honours: 17th Hussars/7th Recce regiment (Reconnaisance regiment of the 3rd Canadian division) Caen and Falaise...

    Last time I checked we did get involved in the process. We vote. Not everyone is cut out to be a politician or lobbyist. Every Canadian Citizen, however, has a right to representation in government. Further, we are well within our rights to demand a certain standard of deportment from our...

    Boot cleaning / polishing / care of

    I had a pair of Mk. IIIs that did that even with just brush polish. Washing them off with a sponge, applying some leather protector and then starting over with the polish solved the problem.

    Well now she can say she has dabbled in both the 'world's oldest professions'. Politician and that other one that was alluded to by the thread starter ::).
