    What are you listening to/fav type of music

    Funny, I was kicking the same ATR album a moment ago.  It's good isn't it!!!!!! I have lines on my face called "worry lines," basically wrinkles on my forehead. They come from years of frowning, or a lack of smiling.  So don't do what I did, and be happy. To make matters worse, I got the pox...

    What are you listening to/fav type of music

    I get called a "kid", yet I have wrinkles and white hairs already.  And a sore back. Depressing.  Could 20 be the new 40...?

    PugilSticks

    I've done it once back in HS..pretty much the same thing, and it's lots of fun.  A good way to develop some aggression in people, and quick reaction.  Reminds me of that ridiculous American Gladiator show.

    Packing a Ruck

    Being hydrated is vitally important ANY TIME you do ANY exercise.  I always carry a small container of water out of necessity when doing anything - I'm a husky guy so I sweat more than others.  In carrying 30-40lbs on you in the sweltering heat, it is no different.  Some people I know bring...

    Protest: "Canada and NATO out of Afghanistan," 4 Apr 09, Montreal

    I never take protests like these seriously, but it reminds me what freedoms we fight for.  In some other countries cops would give them beatdowns for stuff like that. Here in Ottawa, a lot of protesters are pretty well clueless, for example I've seen many posters around U of O using images of...

    Promotions in the CAF [Merged]

    I think what he meant is that the person asking may be basing his decision on that alone, which is a very bad reason to join any trade  (even if that person was only curious about it and nothing else). And yeah... putting a memo in to get promoted... come on.  Even I know better.  That...

    British REME Warrant Officer Class 1 hoping to enlist - any advice?

    It's the same thing really; same rank, same kind of role and responsibility (technical knowledge, discipline, NCM morale, et al). They are both "Other Ranks-9". (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranks_and_insignia_of_NATO_Armies_Enlisted). After all the Canadian rank system was largely adopted...

    Int Op trade tell me more and more reg force please

    PRETC is a Reg Force thing, it is where people awaiting their courses stay.  For example there is a PRETC PL in Borden, all the people awaiting their courses stay there, they are taught refresher lessons, do general-duty tasks, et al.

    RMS CLK

    On rare occasions, a PRes member can be slotted on a reg force course.  If it's Res it's generally run in the summer months to accomodate post-secondary students..

    The Unit

    Ive been everything from "Space Cadet" to "Supreme Commander of The Universe" to "CplMaj" and now, suddenly, "The Orderly Room Bouncer". We had an individual on our BMQ PL who "broke his Hercules Tendon"  ::) .....and in place of boots, wore these cheap dollar-store sneakers with these really...

    Possibly the best music video ever

    Go on YouTube look up "Benny Lava"...it's this Bollywood pop song, but dubbed with an English interpretation of its lyrics.  It's the funniest thing I've ever seen on YT, ever.

    Ottawa M&G - 2009

    So I'm on MODS 1-5 and QL5 this summer and god knows like everything else in the CF the dates may change instantly.  Until then, I can probably make it.

    RCD to the rescue: Carjacking victim salutes Hwy. 401 'hero'

    Most people find the uniform intimidating (but being large and build doesn't hurt you. A big guy scowling at you isn't something easy to argue with).  It was a funeral, he was probably in his DEU Greens and like all traditionally designed uniforms, they are all designed to make you look even...

    Happy St. Patrick's Day....

    I'm half Irish, my name is complete Irish, yet I can't drink because of a medical ailment and a pile of assignments due by the end of the week.... Here's hoping you all recovered painlessly from last night's excess.

    What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

    I would say it should be any bit as acceptable as the noun form.  I mean, for every noun to describe such a person, there is usually a verb or adjective to describe such behavior.  stupid = stupidity gaggle-f*** = gaggle-f***ery ignorant = ignorance So just like the word douchebag itself...

    I just had the best gym session ever!

    I always laughed when people in the field on three-day exercises (SQ for example) were complaining about the IMPs or box lunches... I was always happy to eat food period, even IMPs.  Beats going without food, and it beats being hungry.  I actually really dig the potatoes/sausage one.  I also...

    I just had the best gym session ever!

    Good on you.  :nod:  I'm getting back on it for my PLQ this summer.  Finally I ran for the first time (in temperatures above 0 anyway) and I managed 6K in 40m, My goal is to get it down to a half hour or 25m.  Excercise feels good don't it? I am also going to incorporate some variety into my...
