Sorry but I can't respect any one who straps on an IED device, especially when it malfunctions and only kills himself and other like-minded types! As for "close to racist" comments, didn't see any in this thread. If the MODS see racist comment I'm sure they will deal with it.

Unfortunately it's not against the law to be stupid! Darwinism at it's best.

Similar situation a few years ago but the troop asking was the worst soldier in the section! My response was that the only memo I would endorse from him was a request to go repeat battleschool followed by a hearty F@ck off!

I would pay BIG money to see such an event, alas we can only dream.

(Sarcasm on) Apparently we must have proportionality when fighting our enemies! From now on if we kill 10 Taliban and suffer no casualties ourselves we will remove 10 privates from our ORBAT and execute them just to keep things proportional! (Sarcasm now off)

Didn't Vern address this before. It seems she had a member who wouldn't pay but was still told to attend, and wasn't served a meal but still had to sit there for the dinner!

Good I'm not the only one who thinks that. I look at her and can't help thinking that having sex with her would be like having sex with a bag of antlers! (Not an original line but I can't remember where I heard it or I would give them credit!) I much prefer my women to have at least some meat...

Hey Bruce I had the same shirt! I really got a kick out of two of the entries on the back of it, Invasion of England-Cancelled Invasion of Russia- Cancelled.

How about a heads up the next time you make a joke. That's one of the funniest things I've read in some time!

Back during the first Gulf War I bought a T-shirt from the states with a big Iraqi flag with the statement below it saying "Wanna burn a flag, burn this one!" I got great results wearing in the market district of downtown Ottawa! a fun night was had by all.

I wonder if I can order some of them for myself!

Roger that! Way to many thin-skinned, easily offended types out there. The show is on at 0300 for a reason, they aren't funny. But the "outrage" has given them press coverage they couldn't even dream of.

I too recieved this mass mailing and fail to see why I would be sent this. I am not a recruiter, nor do I make CF policy. I am but a small wheel in a big machine and personally have no interest in "the comedians" plight.  ::) I would suggest a more appropriate name for him/her would "the...

Apparently you missed the point that the recruiter/recruiting office screwed up. This individual wants to serve and was given false information from the recruiter. Or is lying to prospective soldiers okay in your book?

Folks the Regular Force went through this years ago with troops being rebadged against their will and they all survived. So will you.

Martel the choice will have to be entirely yours based on what YOU want to do. Both trades have upsides and downsides. Keep in mind that if you join the navy there is absolutely no guarantee that you will end up back in Vic. In fact, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if they posted you all the...

I have the same issue sometimes with movies about the military and war. Really, how hard would it be to have an ex-military troop to overlook and smooth out some of the outrageous, unrealistic things movies sometimes portray.

Seen a few Royals I recognized, and had to laugh at the f*ckups that people commit the first couple days of an ex. Some things never change but I'm sure they will get up to speed before deploying. If they don't I feel sorry for the NCO's!

Sounds like a lot of whining here. Unless courses have changed tremendously in the last few years, the DS tends to get more sleep than candidates. The reasoning behind it is that they are more alert than you whilst training you. A little extra PT at opportune times never killed anyone and I...

Who can forget those days! Dress for the parade and sweat like a pig during PT thus freezing or dress for PT and do all your freezing before PT. Wonderful days they were, it only took a new CO to start holding winter PT parades in the drill hall saving us from freezing prior to PT. Let's not...
