Being in the Festive Moood: 

Some of the Items over the years that have driven the Mods to Drink are small little items like this:


"I'm an officer.  I have been on BOTC now in St Jean for three weeks and I can tell you that you are wrong........."

"I'm thinking of joining the Army.  Can you tell me what an average day in the life of an Infantryman is like?"

"I'm thinking of joining, but I have had surgery to remove my left kneecap.  Will that have any affect on my joining?"

"I live in Peru.  I really think you have a Kool military.  I am graduating from school next year.  Can I join the Canadian military?"

"My friend is a Junkie.  He went down to the CFRC on Monday and by Friday he was going to Basic."

"I think that the CF should buy some F-14's.  They are the greatest aircraft in the world.  We can get them real cheap now......."

"Can I take my rifle home with me and show my friends?"

"When is the Pay Raise going to be in my account and how much is it?"

"Can I go to Afghanistan if I join the COOP program in School and join the local Reserve Unit?"

"What kind of kit should I buy to keep me warm in the Field at Recruit School?"

"I think that we should let the Taliban have an escape route out......"

"Can I get into the JTF2 if I sign up before the New Year?"

"Are there any Snipers in the Reserves?" 

"Can I choose when I work, if I join the Reserves?  I don't want to work weekends or summers."

"Can anyone give me instructions on how to get into shape for BMQ?"

and so many more.........
 
Good points.
Things that drive me nuts??
Dog piles, and MOD-lites (people that jump on posts before mod does, chastising the individual and dispensing direction, often spiraling the thread into oblivion). All it takes is the use of that little report to mod button.
Yes, most of us are guilty of this at least once.

Merry Xmas all.

Oh yeah.... forgot one.

This thread has me refreshing yet another glass of Germany's finest wine....

I think those are the posts that drive most of us to drink  ;D

:cheers:
 
"My husband/wife/dog/cousin/auntie is in the CF, they told me that THIS is the way it is"

Suspect member asks question. Experienced person answers. Suspect member asks question in different way, not happy with the answer given. More experienced people answer, Staff answer. Suspect member asks again or says they'll just go to their "supersecretnintendocommando" friend/hubby/kitten for answer. Scott hits monitor.

Suspect member asks question I have personally seen 8,394,981,983,670 5/8 times before. Suspect member gets pissed when thread locked and decides to start new thread to ask the question for the 8,394,981,983,671 5/8st time.

MSN SPEAK and those that cannot grasp the spell check function, sentence structure, grammar, etc.

Not to mention those that use oversize text to stress points.

Wow!  And it went on for seven pages!!!  I guess even The Mods like watching a train wreck from time to time.
 
"Mods, we're done here.  You can tell because I just told you to lock the thread..."

"Having just finished BMQ/BOTP, I am now an expert on the CF..."

"My name is Shamrock..."

All things that annoy me.
 
See tangent split here - http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/55114.0.html

Cadets outside of their Lanes in 'Serious' Threads.

People in 'Serious' Threads not checking profiles of those who post silly questions, thus answering and taking the topic off on a tangent and into a spiral down the pipe.

Lefties who "Post 'N Run" stirring up a Flame War........Very amusing, until it gets locked.

 
Hang on Mods are allowed to drink. When this happen?   Did you guys forget to send me the memo .......again

Crap

Too drunk to remember? Kidding  ;)
 
From what I have seen here, it's not much of a drive. It's more like a short walk.
 
I've got to say "Vern"

They (the mods) said they were going to ban me from Army.ca immediately upon returning to their rooms from the Shakespeare Arms/Portly Penguin Fest. I see that I am still posting however!!  >:D
