I guess that license was important, eh?

I must say Eddy, you're rejecting the tenets that make Canadians Canadian. Our Cultures-within-a-culture, our free immigration, our relatively-intelligent form of democracy, the fact that we're loved around the world, that we have a social net so people with minor health problems don't die from...

Thank you for the detailed information, Mr Wallace! :)

If it's not considered a security violation, how do Soldiers go about training for AFV recognition? I know it's an important pat of Intelligence Operator training, and I was interested in writing some software to help train myself, purely out of personal interest. Is it just rote memorization...

I didn't think you were dissing anyone, but I apologize. I just wanted you to see the difference in case you didn't know. My sarcasm detector is broken. Moving on :)

Here's the flag of the United States Navy: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bf/Navy_flag.gif And of the United States Marine Corps: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a5/Marine_corps_flag.svg The logos in the center are the "Seals" (not to be confused with SEALs ;))...

Is that a SEAL? It looks like the logo of the Marine Corps. Edit: Fixed capitalization.

Play the game and hot girls will swoon and bare their lingerie while you're around. Hmm, perhaps they've been taking some hints from the Molson crew?

Unfortunately having not been through a medical or a denial I can't offer too many words in that department. But, have you any other dreams? Police Service, Public Service, Foreign Diplomatic Service, etcetera? There are a lot more doors than Military Service to the life one might desire.

That's great :) I've got a 30 day wait for my CFAT/Interview (CFRC Barrie), and they said it could be a month after that before I get my medical :(

In addition, if anyone ever emails/faxes you asking you to be a "Money Transfer Assistant", or any variation thereof, run away. I received a hilarious email a little while ago, here's the exact wording of what my job would be: What this means is I/you are doing the money laundering for who...

Anyone ever seen the "Evony" ads alongside Facebook or other sites? It's a web-based Roleplaying game, and their ads have been getting steadily worse as time goes on. http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001286.html Check this out; now that's why I call progressive advertisement ;D

Out of curiosity, do they make these studies available to the general public? It would be interesting to read up on the health impact of certain trades, beyond the little snippets provided on the CF Recruiting website.

Yes, thus the quotes around "Canadian." :P You probably know this better than I do, but as I understood it there were British troops permanently stationed inside what is now Canada, which would have made them Canadian, had the country existed at that point.

Well, of course. Canada is a stable country, and has managed to avoid being the belligerent in most contexts. However, during the War of 1812, it was "Canadians" versus Americans, and we/they didn't wait for reinforcements to show up before repelling the invaders.

Some?  ;D

Absolutely horrifying. Via: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,534432,00.html
