I take it that 'the activists' are wrong and the policy should remain in effect? Wasn't the original 'official' reason for not allowing gays in the military was the possibility of them being extorted or blackmailed and thus becoming a security risk? If their orientation is public, how could that...

In Company of Heroes (on the pc anyway), you can select the mortor crew, select HE or smoke, then select the target on the map. It seems like a very good game so far.

Santa brought me Company of Heroes. It's having issues with my video card - good excuse to get a new one, but from what I've played so far, it's worth getting. And there is a demo available.

Just what we need down here, more Cubans for the news people to get all giddy about. I hate the wet foot/dry foot policy and the pandering that goes on to the Cubans here. Haitians and everyone else get the boot and of course everyone is up in arms about illegal immigrants, but if it's a Cuban...

We're going to Disney World!!  Well, from the 18th - 21st. The wifes sister and family are down for xmas so we actually have family here for a change. Of course, going to Disney isn't quite as big a deal when that involves a 3 hour drive north  :D

Yes, I've been following Jericho, interesting show. I read somewhere where it will be back 14 Feb but I can't confirm that.

Helo had been acting as XO but I wasn't sure if an official or even unofficial transfer had taken place. I saw Tighs entry into the CIC and his typical gruff reply but wasn't sure if that meant he was back as XO.

Apollo was being referred to as Major for this episode. No Pegasus, no need for that battlefield promotion. A question I have is will Col Tigh get his XO post back if he continues his return to being a normal human being? Also, what happened to the Pegasus crew? Didn't Apollo leave her fighters...

Good stuff, thanks. I love their sound and they make fun videos.

I like Bowling for Soups '1985' - Fun song and it brought back lots of memories http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCkfZuYz8k0 Also good is Fountains of Wayne "Stacy's Mom" - the mom in the video is Rod Stewarts ex Rachel Hunter and Stacy is their real daughter...

Thanks. I take it you are in recruiting? Although that must be a secret as your profile is empty  ;)

Yes he's Canadian with A's (mostly) and B's for grades and involved with the school swim team and boxing on his own. My question was more along the lines of how he can apply for such things while living down here. Going back and forth to a Canadian based recruiting office isn't practical. Does...

My son is currently in grade 10 down here in south Florida. Does anyone know what he would have to do to apply for such a program as this when the time comes? Both my wife and I are former military and he has some interest in the field. I don't want him joining the American military, but I'm...

How true. When I got back to the Princess Louise Fusiliers from my Ph II inf crse in Aug 83 as a brand new 2Lt I was told I was going to be the pl comd/course offr for the TQ1 inf crse starting in the fall. I had just finished that crse in Mar before becoming an Ocdt  :D However I had already...

I went through offr trg before the present system of doing slt was put in after botc. I agree with Capt Scarletts point that for most jnr offrs there is very little need for bilingualism at that stage of the career. If the powers that be determine that it is required anyway, my question about...

I've found that most civilians, at least those with no contact with anyone in the military, will use the term lootenant because of the overpowering influence of the American media - ie, tv and movies. I would think most new people to the Canadian military would initially use lootenant because...

Everything will be open by 7:00am tomorrow morning. Some stores and even malls will be open at 5:00am. Even though some of the prices are pretty good, the wife and I refuse to get caught up in that mass of humanity. It's called Black Friday because it's supposed to be the day that drives stores...

All this talk of Aldershot has brought back a few sandy memories. I was in PlFus and 723 Comm from 82-84 and spent a few weekends there. The marching song 'Hi Ho Captain Jack" (or something to that effect) comes to mind. Of course there was a get together at the jnr ranks mess one Saturday night...

Have you checked out Gateworld forums galactica site? Now there are some geeks!!  ;D http://forum.gateworld.net/forumdisplay.php?f=41

My son and I were watching this special last night. It was all good. (Well, my political leanings might have made it better for me than for others  :D )
