Wow! That made my day! ETA: Just visited his FB page... The sharks are circling, and Michael insists on slashing his own wrists. I can honestly say, I have never seen anyone so successfully self destruct so completely on-line before.

The subject of this story is a friend of mine... The Legion does not do a very good job of even sticking up for it's own. http://www.thewhig.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?archive=true&e=762346 - See the article for more. I would like to support the Legion, and see them support vets... But alas, I...

They can sue me... Does that mean they get my debts? Perhaps I would just filibuster them into exhaustion... I was always good at procrastination.

One of the many examples for why I no longer go near the Legions.

The world according to the dishonest hack in question, "The USA rules!!! Everyone else is incompetent and incapable!!!" Needless to say that the hack in question makes my blood boil way over. Haggis, this is one character that can, repeatedly make me angry and raise my voice. In fact, I am...

The BIGGEST single mistake of my career... Turning in my Mk IIIs for the new GP. Dear god. Caveat. Not everyone will be happy with everything. It is impossible. With boots, more so, as our feet are entirely too different. I know many people who love the new GPs.

I can not believe that I have been in long enough to see three iterations of combat uniforms... Crap, next I will be reading birth dates of my recruits from the same year I was sworn in. Built in knee pads? I will be a believer when I try them and they work... In an OBUA setting, I always...

I don't mind country music too much... These guys are pretty good! http://youtu.be/XZ5TajZYW6Y

I would have to suggest that it is hardly fair to us, nor the film producers/writers et al, to comment before seeing the film, and the trailer is never enough to comment on.  I am willing to give this film a chance, and will see it. After I see it, I will put my comments up here, in the public...

Actions and attitude always need some sort of reporting to produce a positive outcome. It is all in the follow through. So, as keen and capable a soldier is, if no one is there to write the PDR, PER, letter of assessment or course report, actions and attitude fall short of moving a soldier...

Good point on the LDA... Suddenly this no longer looks like an "over payment", but rather just what is owed upon release. In fairness, EVERYONE could do everything just a little bit better... BUT, our system does demand a level of responsibility for one's own actions, which frankly, I am not...

18 years infantry, my ability to communicate in written media is tested every single day. It starts when you are in BMQ, and transitions to more importance post PLQ (because now you are writing for subordinates). By the time you are doing your DP4/ALP, your subordinates depend on your ability to...

Might I suggest an "over pay" on his severance and return of contributions? Which, if that is the case, he needs to watch for the "opps" letter, and be ready to pay back, or pay back through taxes later. Lord knows that mistakes do happen, but one of them is not "hush money"... On the other...

On the face of it, the synopsis is alarming... I will watch it, and hold my judgement until then. Without knowing the finish of the movie, it is difficult for me to reconcile the idea at this film maker is anti-Canadian Forces. He could very well have a very nice message for us in the movie...

I am no longer getting in 1% of the time. Been unable to log in all day.  :(

Yarp, I am having that problem. Game seems to only want to load about 1 in 100 tries it seems. Frustrating.

The fear of the weak is sustenance enough for us.

A wonderful example of how easily stats can be abused for propaganda purposes. Remove from context, sprinkle some charged rhetoric, and voila! Suddenly all MPs are murdering, raping monsters... I really wish there was a rule somewhere that anytime a stat is employed in published works...

Out of the anger and dispair comes a tiny flash point of hope.
