    "So You Want To Be A Pilot" Merged Thread 2002 - 2018

    I heard from a few pilots at work, that the reason you cannot get Laser Eye Surgery, is that if you ever had to eject, then the force would rip your eyes apart, as they were sliced open during surgery! maybe someone here can deny or confirm?

    Judicial review for submarine contract

    I really dislike Irving, when I was in Gagetown, I was visiting some Family in St John, and the Irving's were threatening to shut down a local lumber store, if a Home Depot moved into the area!, dorks, afraid of a little competition! but then again, if other stored (which they had no control...

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    not to jump on top too, Sigs as I don't believe in CCW, but I think if there wasn't any drugs, allot of crime would go down, and then you wouldn't see as many people against guns (as a whole)

    "So You Want To Be A Pilot" Merged Thread 2002 - 2018

    I phoned the CFRC in Edmonton, the 2LT there told me he has just received an e-mail regarding this, and he said that the Commander was looking into this, regarding DEO and CEOTP candidates, and that a decision will be made. So that tells me that a decision is not yet made (or they haven't told...

    interview

    Call me old school, and maybe some of the recruiters on here could confirm, but I would and did where a suit! You look professional, they will probably think you want this bad! Bad  enough to wear a suit, even if it's for only 5 min, or 2 hours, Look professional, you probably are professional...

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    Inch, I think your point of the VT shootings might be a little off. It was prob mass confusion, yes maybe 1 of the students if armed might have shot the bad guy, but the if say 10 other people were also armed, they could start shooting each other, and than how would the police have known who the...

    French Foreign Legion

    I saw a show on the FFL on discovery a couple of years ago, now from what I remember, isn't the legion one of the only units to have never done well in battle? I think (once again from what I can recall) the guy talking was saying they usually put the Legion into battles that are "unwinable", I...

    Army interview ( i need tips)

    Also because you are going from Res to Reg, you prob will get a recruit school bypass, and maybe even a trade qual bypass, so instead of having to wait for a bmq or DP course, you might be in sooner than those who are off the street and have to wait for a BMQ, like those mentioned in the above...

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    Just so you know, I am not all that pig headed, I would change my mind if I was on fire! also I think we are arguing apples and oranges here, yes I agree (because I said it before) that we on this site will prob never change each others views. I don't agree with a total ban on guns, just a ban...

    All Things First Nations - CF help, protests, solutions, residential schools, etc. (merged)

    When first reading this, I was prob like most Canadians, tired of hearing about this crap, if I did it their way I would be locked up for quite awhile, I did like Seakingtacos input, and I do have to agree with it, even though it wasn't the desired effect that I wanted (throw them all in jail)...

    MATA and PATA ( Parental Leave )

    I took PATA leave a few years ago, my understanding (not official) was that in order to be entitled to take PATA leave, the mother (or wife) had to use the first 35 weeks, (If memory serves correctly) before I could take PATA leave, she had to use MAT first! We were both working though and not...

    MP getting back to green??

    QV it's the same around the Forces, when I left the Strats, we were doing back to back to back to back TFA tours, with not near enough manpower, and still getting boned with menial tasks. We also could put down for short days, but it had to go through the CO and very rarely was ok'd. The unit I...

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    Inch, Yes I do fear people with guns in the States, if they happen to be carrying a gun? who knows? just like who really knows what they thinking that day! All I am trying to say is that CCW in a city, for what, protection? I thought you where saying that all fellow man are nice? or at least...
