    The Defence Budget [superthread]

    I am willing to bet we maxed out any possible deferments long ago or our government would be launching a massive propaganda campaign to tell everyone how wonderful we are.  Self congratulation, it's something Canadian governments do well.  There is something to be said when only the media is...

    U.S. Politics 2017 (split fm US Election: 2016)

    In fairness to Trump, each time the media says he said something he didn't say that can be proved by a simple video clip, it's them that looks more like him.  Everyone already thinks he runs off at the mouth but when the media converts what he says to something he didn't say they come off as the...

    "Unionizing" the CF (merged)

    After 34 years of garrison, exercises and operations and based on an 8 hour day, 5 day week, I likely owe the government a few months.  As for unions, heck, every time, I asked for something or conducted business base side, it always felt like the CF was unionized......

    Reaction to CLP and/or use of weapon baths

    Used it for everything but sex aid, never, never had a problem.  Love the odor, remains me of good times.

    Sexual Assault & Sexual Misconduct in the CF

    The latest one in Shilo was 10 months from incident to charge.  Likely another year before trial.

    Walts, posers & wannabes (merged)

    Be careful using that.  There is ton of errors.  Many military have their rank mixed in with their first name.  Some some are name first, some are rank first. My last name is spelled differently in my three entries and my home town is once where I was born and twice where I was posted.

    Driving into Oromocto this morning (slowly I might add) and along the highway was; 1, 2, 3, and more rigs flatbedding a turretless LAV and a LAV with a turret with a soft recoil 105mm by the looks of the muzzle brake.  Total 15 trucks went by so loaded.  Guess we are filling our contract with...

    Pride to be in the forces and everybody is leaving

    LOL, yup, that's my point.  Each generation sees better gear just around the corner.  Remember when we wanted the 82 gear to support the weight of the stuff we carried?  Remember we hated the "jump" ruck because you had to dissemble it to get to your chocolate bar stash, so we wanted a top...

    Pride to be in the forces and everybody is leaving

    You ain't seen old til you rode around in '54 deuce in the 80s with 27 other guys in the back because there is only one deuce per platoon, hazardous til you spent your day in a drill hall with asbestos snowing down or uncomfortable til you spent 6 weeks in 64 pattern webbing.  [lol:

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    Legally not possible but a pin is easy to knock out.  It is possible to get a larger capacity by using a mag from the same make gun but designed for a fatter round, ie 45 cal mag with 9mm rounds but that would not give you 15 rounds.  Likely they are talking about stock characteristics or the...

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    From the rumours on Gun Nutz, Cukier has visited the Public Safety ministry last night.  I suspect that there will be no open campaign until the cement is dry with govt.  They will work the halls of govt and stay out of the light, it made them look bad during C42.  There is also the CBC piece on...

    Alexandre Bissonnette: QC Mosque shooter- 29 Jan 2017

    I intended the word I used. I tend to agree with you but with one proviso; he realized on his second entry that this wasn't a video game and loss his hate rather fast and ran away.  I think he is just a man-child without even the courage of his warped convictions.  Hate can make you do insane...

    Alexandre Bissonnette: QC Mosque shooter- 29 Jan 2017

    - Registry Data is still in use and a new registry is in process. - Quebec persecutes all statutory firearms offences as criminal offences, no other province or territory does that. - All Public workers, teachers, gun club members and Medical professionals are required by law (Bill 9) to report...

    Alexandre Bissonnette: QC Mosque shooter- 29 Jan 2017

    Journale de Montreal had a single sentence that said he was a hunter and a gun owner but there was nothing on his facebook, no gun pics, no hunting pics not even a hunting camp pic.  We will have to wait for more info on that.  It's immaterial though, Quebec has the most draconian gun laws in...

    This has the potential to make Cadets an exceedingly expensive enterprise for the Govt of Canada does it not?

    There is nothing more hauntingly nationalist than a Franco Ontarian trying to emulate his Quebecois pur lain roots.
