I went to a military academy in Edmonton where one of the credit courses was titled "Drill and Parade". We did saber drill with real Ceremonial Sabres, and rifle drill with wooden replicas, but it was nothing like what he was doing in that video. It was strictly drill with a sabre/rifle as a...

I guess I should have added there are those who actually gain from their punishment, and not in the sence they get a free education. Some get the desire NOT to go back. I just feel they are given too many free rides and handouts while the good guy has to work his butt off to scrounge up a...

In my opinion, our prison system should go bare bones. No TV/internet, no couches, no prestige meals, no workout equipment, no anything. If you rape/murder/(insert other violent crime here), then you need to be given the time appropriate for the crime, and nothing but 8 by 10 cell, alone without...

+ 100, 000 on that cartoon!!

I really think it needs to be done, best of luck with that, and as a pre-enrolee, let me know where to sign before I can't! That aside, as nice as it would be for Mr. Layton to go and single-handedly do some of this negotiating, I think a bigger challenge (as a politician) would be to actually...

I don't mean "against the government". I meant a petition to rally support for our troops and our cause. A petition against CF naysayers, who don't want our troops pulled because of how an overpayed politician puts it into words. OR Maybe even a CF funded/run news system where CF public...

What ever happened to the days of the petition? Someone, (who is alot more organized and educated than I am) NEEDS to step up and start one if they still work. There are how many CF members, and other civi persons who actually support the CF that I'm sure would willingly sign. People need to...

Hmmm, 'legitimate' diamond dealings? Must have been a 'get-rich-quick scam' in the last couple of years in the diamond industry. Is it too late o sign up?

ANYtime Freeze! Who knows, if the chips fall the right way we could be going to BMQ at the same time and/or even end up in the serving in the same place. best of luck to ya either way!

Smoking = bad, check drinking = bad, check drugs = bad, check cursing = bad, check fast food = bad, check coffee = bad, check over/under sleeping or eating, hyperactive, underproductive = all bad, check porn = bad, check masterbation = bad, check (do we really want blind troops now??) "insert...

As I heard it about the pot issue, I feel the same way about the drinkers. "I don't want some pot-head who smoked up last weekend in the trench next to me as bullets rip by, even if it's been 3 weeks since he smoked it. If his reaction time is delayed by a fraction of a second that could be the...

Freeze_time31 I share your dream of going infantry all the way, and I am soon to put in my application. In my opinion and experiences, I have not had all the support I thought I would either. Some of my family have served, and some still do. So for the most part they support my decision. Some...

I am working on quiting smoking, and doing pretty good. Out of curiosity, however, I am wondering what smoking rules are like in the forces. I can understand and agree with the fact that at BMQ or deployed and front lines it would be a great risk and not allowed. But, other than BMQ and front...

I would have expected something along the lines of gambling and Paris Hilton getting out of the slammer in the midst of these VERY slow news days. How much does this "echo maker" earn in a year? From what I hear, the CF could use more bullets rather than his statements.

My plan/story: Started smoking cig's and pot at 18, now I'm 23. It has now been 40 days since I put down the herb. I am absolutely 100% confident I won't smoke pot again. I have had no withdrawls from it, and to be completely honest, can't even describe the feeling to even miss how it felt...

-You didn't care about the city cops when you went into town. -You didn't care about the RCMP pulling you over on the highway heading back home to your PMQ -You actually feared getting pulled over by an MP, chances were they were one of six MP's living within a block from your PMQ, and hiding...

That story is off-beat in my case. I am currently doing landscaping to "tide me over" until I am through the application process. When I am not working I am doing PT exercises. Granted, I have YET to hand in my application. But a side note to add, I am making more than double minimun wage...

I have nothing to hide whatsoever. I always planned to be open and honest. Most of my past employers loved what I did for them and the company. As with everything however, when you take candy from a baby they cry. Alot of them made a big deal out of it. Last job for instance, was an...

I am curious, because I have what LOOKS like a poor track record of maintaining a steady job or address, will that hold me back as far as a ERC is concerned? I don't want to make excuses for what I did, but I followed my friends when they graduated and left the small town, where we grew up, for...

I have yet to drop off an application, but am working very hard on the physical preparations. I am by no means an expert on the subject, however this is my method: Do as many CF regulation style push-ups as possible plus 2 more where you fight and grunt the whole way up. Wait 10 minutes or so...
