    Saturday August 11th is actually one of the few days that works for me.  It sounds like the evening may work better then for Avro, what about you Port Hope?

    Decorated Canadian soldier beaten and taunted by his fellow citizens

    It is absolutely disgusting that someone would do this.  I don't know the reasons why yet (I can guess though) but if they were trying to look tough- well like it has been said earlier I think this just shows them for the cowards they are.  Speedy recovery MCpl.

    The Departed and Flyboys

    I'd have to agree with Hale.  The premise of the story was good and if done properly would have made a pretty interesting movie.  I just couldn't get into it.  Apart from the dogfighting scenes it just felt really amateurish and stilted.  On the other hand I thoroughly enjoyed The Departed...

    Swords

    Thanks for the replies.  I suppose I'll have to figure out exactly what kind of sword I have and what the eventual unit I'm posted to allows. Would some of the preceeding links on this thread be the best place to contact regarding the make and style of my sword?

    Swords

    I'm not 100% sure if this is the best thread to post this question in, but I couldn't find any others on swords.  It seems from what I've read that officers are allowed to choose their own swords- is this correct? Or is there certain types or makes of swords that officers in certain regiments...
