My condolences to his family, friends and comrads. God speed Cpl Eykelenboom.

Very saddened by this news. To the family, regiment and friends of MCpl Walsh my heartfelt condolences. Another very sad day for PPCLI and Canada.

I'm very dissappointed in the hijack of this thread. I don't find it funny and I think lots of others may not take it so lightly. I don't think it was meant to be a good "laff". That's all I'm going to say about that because like everyone else, I'm easily identified.

Hotel Bravo Mike!

Very true. I don't understand it myself. There were men older than me (not in my platoon) and they didn't seem overly concerned with their age. I didn't compare myself to the younger ones either, though one woman on my course (39) constantly whined about her age. She seemed to want special...

Now I was curious about this 41 yr old woman joining and people thinking it's so amazing so I got to wondering how many other 'older' woman are joining the forces? A brief surf of the web got me this: Scottish mum becomes oldest Navy recruit 22 Jun 06 A 36 year old mother of one has become the...

You know it's not all that amazing. When I did bmq in January I was 46 and another woman there was 43 - both of us have children. Perhaps it's just a sign that as a population we are staying healthier longer, taking better care of ourselves and realizing that 40 is no longer the 'beginning of...

Gravyboat again my attempt at humour fails on the board. I will add a little  :P  next time. I don't know what more Beezer wants in the way of traditions (that he hasn't already listed) so I was just poking fun at him. Sorry if you misinterpreted my remarks.

RIP soldiers. My condolences to family, friends and regiment.

You already seem to know many of them, why don't you list all the ones you know and if any are missing, someone can come along and fill in the blanks?

Good for her! I did bmq at 46 yrs of age. Not sure I would want to try SQL though!

Well I don't know how reliable this is but I found the following: Gayle Rivers, a New Zealand counterterrorism expert, takes exception to the judicial method of trying and punishing terrorists.  "A terrorist who is allowed to live and goes to prison quickly becomes the direct cause of another...

R.I.P., Sir. My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends. I have seen both his wife and sister make appeals on the news over the last few days and it breaks to my heart that their prayers will not be answered. Hopefully they will find solace in the fact that he died with honour and his...

Funny they should name this the "Kelowna Accord". I recall another agreement by the same name where Jack Munro, then-leader of the BC Federation of Labour, made a deal with then-premier Bill Bennett that had to do with government union contracts back in the early 80s. You'd think they could at...

Well Jake good luck trying to convince your Mom to change her views. IMO she's probably not going to. What I found disturbing the most was not that she holds the views that she does, but she seems incapable of actually discussing them. Honestly I thought she was either completely drunk or...

Cynthia Hess-von Kruedener is asking people to remember her husband is missing and asks us to pray for a miracle. She was just on CTV news. She appears to be holding up with dignity although the strain is apparent. She believes there is a chance that the Major is still alive. I will respect her...

Chaz well done!

My sincere condolences to the family and friends. RIP

Congratulations and good luck in your training!
