Thanks, I'm a little scared, but overwhelmingly just excited to go!

Hi, anyone going to trenton for ACS the week of june 18th, 2008?

Hmm good point as well. I guess the value after all is pretty small.

Well it's the only german aircraft carrier ever built. Seems interesting from a historical point, but I have no idea how expensive or challenging it would be to raise it and so you are most likely right. I still think that if technology and diving conditions are suitable it would be a worthwhile...

Is there any possibility of someone raising it? The article said the Germans are making no claim to it, but technically could someone else claim it now?

It wasn't on the news much, it happened while Paris Hilton was in jail... :P

This is going way back in time, but I thought it might create a little speculation and fun. So what do you think would have happened if England had been victorious in the 100 Years war with France? Let's say Joan of Arc never came along and France became a province of England. The impact on...

I'd agree that the government just has to spend more time promoting and speaking about the mission. Taking soldiers testimonials, footage of rebuilt towns and the like. As soon as support for the mission hits 60% all the opposition parties will be talking about how much they supported the war...

Hahah I'm in polisci as well (just transfered into it) and i hope i can argue with them all day. It'll be fun to continually prove them wrong.

They certainly were, no argument. They occured far more then to be random acts. Your absolutely right with the culutral issue statement. Bushido was the way of the samurai, pretty honorable fellows in their day, and was modified over time to come to represent what was acted on and enforced...

I'm not getting into the whole rape / brothel quagmire. I just want to address this quote. Not ALL Japanese soldiers were "barbaric". James Bradley who wrote Flags of Our Fathers also wrote the book Flyboys. It is about a raid on Chichi Jima, the same one where George Bush Sr. was shot down and...

Any protestor who is a student in university (it seems most of them come from there) must not be much of a student. If you're not doing homework, your working to pay tuition (which is lots of $$$). If you're not working, you're out partying. Any time other than this is occupied by sleep or...

Mud Recce Man: I meant really get into shape so that it's LESS of a worry. I'm well aware of the difficulty and need to be in top physical shape. That's why I'm starting now. Thanks for the encouragement anyways... :P

Rick thanks for the advice. I should have mentionned that I am doing ROTP, most likely at Civie University so most likely summer course then I assume...But it's a huge relief that I have until the summer to get in shape. That means that I can whoop the minimums and not have to worry about...

Sorry to derail this, but just a quick question. I just applied to the CF for pilot in July, and haven't heard anything yet. I'm just wondering how long do I have to get up to shape before the testing starts? I have been running 3 times a week for 2 weeks now and am improving slowly (from...

Those are good points...I guess it just seems new to me because I haven't had much exposure to it until recently. I think it's fair for people to dislike a government, but you can't blame day to day Americans, as has been recently said. I think that is a fair position to take. On the other hand...

It's become more of a hatred. It used to be just jokingly (in my experiences anyhow) and now it's like a fanatical hatred in a lot of small minded people.

Anti-Americanism is the new fad. When I talk to people at university or other in my age group I get the silliest "arguments" as to why they dislike Americans. It's just the trendy thing to do right now, and no one can distinguish between the American government and the average American Joe. It...

Please dear God let us get Apaches...I'd pay the Canadian Forces to let me fly those! ;D

Hello I've recently applied to ROTP and will most likely (after being accepted i hope) go to a civie university. I have already done some of my program and was wondering when the funding would start if I am accepted to ROTP. For example, if I get accepted in September, is my tuition paid from...
