I'm gonna go on a stretch here and say that saying that the burning of the Qu'ran being causing "maximum distress" to muslims is serious exaggeration. Methinks that this jusge is playing the political game and quite blatantly at that. Given the overreaction on the other side every time that...

Weren't "military advisers" the fist step in Vietnam. I am starting to get the feeling that many of us are looking at our next deployment; Blue helmet or not.

A letter posted by Lester B. Pearson's granddaughter. Quite entertaining to read I might add. http://www.pearsonspost.com/wp/?p=249#comments This, reproduced under the Fair Dealing provisions (§29) of the Copyright Act from the Pearson Post Dear Olivia Chow, (Or, campaign staffer who is...

I must disagree with you on the "your grades will drop 10 to 15% on average" saying cuz it's simply not true. While it might be difficult for some to maintain a steady average during FYOP, it's far from impossible. We were told the same thing at the start of the year but upon reflecting, it...

Voting is not about making citizens part of the government, actually, the government is defined in opposition to the general citizenry. The government serves the citizen, it's not a joint venture, it's a service provider. The vote is here to give legitimacy to the government so that it may...

IMHO, the problem nowadays is that a lot of people vote based on punctual promises, "vote for us, we'll make X more affordable" and so on. If people had a more of a stake in actual good government and the proper running of the country in general, they might choose more judiciously. Back in...

As long as the student population remains ignorant about political matters in general, I consider it a plus that my peers don't bother to vote.

From your comment, should I understand tha being ROTP means you haven't started your carreer yet? We might be OCdts for three more years but as far as the army's concerned we're still on the payroll, I'm in the military and what I'm doing and pretending to do and not doing here at RMC counts...

Here's something I've been asking myself for a while. If the conservatives get their majority, do you think they'll go further with defense budget increases than what was just presented for the last budget?

Are you speaking for other people than yourself?

Super man in german, not the superhero, but the nietzschean concept. In any case, I'm simply telling you not to come expecting to be outperformed by RMC students (you won't be in the same platoon anyway), if you've been training properly, you should do just fine.

The funny part is that your average RMC cadet will spend a sizeable portion of his time doing all the things you mentioned. This ain't exactly a college of Übermensch you know.  8)

I know at least a few people that would gladly graduate in 1A's instead of scarlets. (And it ain't just cuz they're more comfortable.)

Being bilingual might make you competitive on your application but beyond that, the only thing it will change is freeing up 5 hours a week due to being exempt of SLT. Trust me, you want to lean french, start working on it on your own, the SLT department here is severely lacking , especially when...

That might be a good thing, I'm starting to get a bit too cosy with the elevator in the Stone Frigate.

Today while waiting for a base taxi at the CFB Kingston Canex, a Captain offered to give me a ride. Turns out he had been a project manager on Clothe the soldier. I asked him about sleeve pockets and he told me that they were working on that. Take it for what it's worth.

Meh, I'll start by getting through the next three weeks of inspections and duty weekends  and Westpoint and Annapolis weekends and the exams and the workup fortnight and all tha jazz before I start getting excited about getting jacked up for 11 weeks at the mega.

Just a curiosity, are you allowed to wear your oakleys on garrison or are they only for field use?

Foolish perhaps, but I can't condemn the man's motives. He's one of the braves, if a bit misguided.

Don't care, I'm fine with the monarchy but anyone who makes entry into the royal family their life goal is suffering from delusion of grandeur.
