    Military Swim Test - When, Where, and How- Merged

    Well, now that you mention it I do have 2 excellent older sisters, however, my knowledge comes from first hand experience. That and the swim tests don't always stop after you complete BMQ. Just a couple of weeks ago I had to complete another swim test just to go on adventure training. The key to...

    Cpl Wilcox court martial - Sydney NS

    I heard a story (I can't verify this of course) where someone was sentenced to 7 years. Served 2, was released from Club Ed for a couple of hours or something like that, then taken BACK into custody for another 2 years. This continued for the full 7 years. I really wish I could verify this...

    "Kurdish music star may sue OPP after dramatic highway arrest"

    So I replied to the video (this after reading all sorts of negative remarks with regards to the OPP and Canada). My unbiased opinion was swiftly deleted, so I attempted to make another post, however it seems as though I was blocked.  It upsets me that some people have that sort of hatred for Canada.

    U.S. Military Deserters in Canada Megathread

    I'm sorry to sound like an un-caring prick, but can someone just deport this woman already? I mean seriously? Have the others that have been deported or left on their own free will been treated any different now that they are there? All they get is a little time in prison, and a discharge from...

    Military Swim Test - When, Where, and How- Merged

    To elaborate on this a little further... Yes, both parts of the swim test are in combats. Part one involves the somersault into the deep end, then tread water for 2 minutes. If memory serves me correctly you then swim 50m to the middle part of the pool (there is a deck half way down the pool...

    What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

    Sorry for getting back so late to this one. When I read that I had a bird. I've never seen a unit act in this manner, or a particular member. As stated prior, anyone even accidentally pointing in my direction had the weapon either swatted away from me, or I disarmed the member, then proceded...

    Packing for Basic [MERGED]

    Well, if you really want to you could show up without any runners at all. The issue what are known as "CF Cripplers", shoes that when worn for PT have the tendancy to cripple those that wear them. I would sudgest 1 set of runners for outside, 1 set for inside (non-marking). If you want want a...

    What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

    From a newspaper article I was reading when I got into work: "The witness agreed with the defence that what he did in the video was a serious violation of weapon procedures and was a "very good example" of the cavalier attitude of weapon safety in the military." I'm sorry, but anytime someone...

    Would you like to put a ‘Support our troops’ ribbon on your own vehicle?

    Thanks for posting the picture Mike. I thought Toronto was trying to stop city workers from putting them on city vehicles though. Or did they realize how stupid an idea that was and change their mind?

    Clint Eastwood's "Gran Torino"

    Here's to hoping it's still on the Air Canada flight I'm on in 3 weeks. It's one of those movies I could watch a million times and still enjoy it. Rates a 10/10 on my Spaceballs factor. This is the factor I base movies on, how many times in one day I can watch a movie and NOT throw the DVD out...

    Military Swim Test - When, Where, and How- Merged

    Well, you step up to the edge of the pool, kinda crouch down a bit, lean your head towards the inside of your knees (helps protect the melon), and simply roll yourself forward. Try to push off with your legs to get some distance between yourself and the edge of the pool. The momentum of your...
