    Meteor explodes over Russia

    The meteor broke up quite high in the atmosphere and scattered parts of itself everywhere. The video is of Derweze, as mentioned by a poster on the video. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derweze) Also, text is not in Russian. The shock wave was so intense, that Richter scales registered the...

    Is it time to disband the Canadian Armed Forces?

    Sure, I kinda thought that it was blatantly obvious that it was sarcastic....but then I sometimes forget there are those out there with a pretty low comprehension of the written word.

    Soldier entitled to $125,000 dismemberment benefit after botched knee surgery

    I hope he is, and for a hell of a lot more than 125K. Just peanuts for losing a limb, these insurance payout amounts should be raised significantly.

    Soldier returns after going AWOL

    Give a new guy a bucket of water and tell him it is IR paint. Watch him paint a LAV III top to bottom. Nothing to do but kill time in the regiment.

    Miniature surveillance helicopters help protect front line troops

    Neat, I have to wonder what the wind speed limitations are on that. The small RC toys of similar size that I have used can't be controlled even in a very slight breeze outside. They must be compensating with some powerful, yet super light motors. I suspect that is where most of the research...

    WTB - CF Parachutist Wings made while in Afghanistan

    air-ops, I assume you are aware that a number of groups were making patches for their sections/units? For example, lots of Engineers had 'sapper' or some kind of patch for their field squad, section etc. There is probably quite a lot of different patches out there from over the years.

    Norwegian gets tryout with NY Jets after kick trick shots video goes viral

    It was a CGI video created by two Montreal students as part of their class project. Really well done. From what I understand, they even said it was fake in the original youtube post, which no one bothered to read. I tried to confirm that, but cannot locate the original as there are so many...

    Walts, posers & wannabes (merged)

    Picture is blurry. I see a guy dress in Airforce garb with captains rank, can't make out cap badge, and is that some kind of odd TAC vest?

    Mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut

    A common thread in many of the mass shootings has to do with the shooter feeling victimized by and institution or group of people (workplace, school shootings). Or they attack a larger sector of society in attack against the community they are part of. Those would be more random and wide spread...

    Fiscal cliff

    Cliff or no cliff, I've gotten off this sinking ship. Zero out debt, Pull investments (not that I had a lot to begin with), secure land ownership, transfer nest egg of money into precious metals (small bars of silver and gold). If she tanks, zero worries.

    Promotions in the CAF [Merged]

    Ask him, if you feel he is approachable for that. Might be interesting to find out what was holding him back in the first place too.
