    13th Parachute Dragoon Regiment [France]

    Why would they be parachute dragoons? Im a little confused. Is it a heritage thing?

    The Khadr Thread

    He wasnt wearing a uniform. Thats a known detail about the incident. I couldnt find my other reference. But even the Wiki mentions it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Speer

    This guy’s boat was destroyed in a Boston police firefight

    In Canada the answer is....it depends. He would more than likely be successful in this case- Ive been involved in raids where we have had to pay for bad guy doors. Which is ridiculous BUT thats Canada,.

    Officer without college degree done

    Moon- If being an officer is something you really have your heart set on. I joined under the "RESO" scheme and am continuing to work on my degree while in the reserves. You may want to look into that- basically I was entered under the RESO entry program into the reserves as an officer- then I...

    Am I too old, fat, or fit in? 2001 to 2016

    How can you have an opinion on what you agree with? You have no training or experience in either job? That seems like a major hurdle.

    Killing humans is okay but keep baptisims out of my video game!

    Which then became the point of contact to write the main antagonists character......he didnt quit. He actually stayed on- consulting from a religious persons point of view. Ive played and finished it- also religious. The idea of rebirth/baptism is used by lots of stories as a plot device. I...

    15 April 2013 - 2 Explosions at Finish line of Boston Marathon

    I should be more clear- agents of the state in some form rather than suspects like in the links.

    Tattoo Thread - including current policy [MERGED]

    2012- when I was going through enrollment my hands, fingers and neck we re not a big deal. It was explained at the CFRC that I wouldnt be able to get anymore above the collar once I swore in. But hands etc were fine according to "the rules". On the recruiting website in the faqs it also says...

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    Thats a murderer and a recruiting failure. Not a police officer. Interesting stuff in here though- thanks for the post Kev Ill tell the 911 dispatcher to pass that along the next time I have to advise I am at LEAST an hour away from the caller looking for help. That will no doubt help them...

    Do you think that the Devil in tv show "The Bible" looks like Obama? Some do.

    The creators have stated that it was a George Bush head. It isnt a conspiracy theory. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/25/hbo-alters-severed-bush-head_n_1625502.html

    Expres Hand Grip Test

    Haha. I get you. I exempt myself on grip strength alone- so I will miss it. Im looking forward to the new test. But Ill miss the conditioned pass I could get on the old one.

    How come CF entry requirements are "low" compared to other militaries?

    I find most to be in the same ballpark. Just tested in a different way. We do Pushups until your pace changes. Americans do number of pushups in 2 minutes. The minimums are very similar. I guess youd feel better if the minimum was high so you could barely pass if at all? Its a minimum for a...

    All About RESO (merged)

    C'est La Vie I suppose. Ill have to weekends this fall and try and lump the other basic trades training mods together after that and take a leave of absence. I appreciate the answer though. I will of course still discuss with my COC to see if there is another way- doubtful though it is. Thanks...

    Expres Hand Grip Test

    I disagree its irrelevant. And so do lots of other: " grip strength gives you an overall sense of someone’s vitality. It is reflective of muscle mass and can be used to predict things in the future like post-operative complications and even death.” By obtaining a reading of a person’s overall...

    All About RESO (merged)

    Sorry- and If I've been out for a long period of time, but left as a Cpl. Should it be affecting my pay rate? Im fine with what I get. Otherwise I wouldnt have joined up. But Im just reviewing all the info and looking things over.

    All About RESO (merged)

    Hey folks- I've been informed that Ive got to do my BMQ overagain- which is fine. It would have been Guccii to get a bypass for it and just have to do the BMOQ week but that ship has sailed. The reserves has this bizarre BMQ system (just for me Im sure, it doesnt really work) where they have...
