You'd be amazed what some windex and crumpled-up newspaper can accomplish...

And now for a "Tin Foil Hats and Black Helicopters" moment... Who are the people currently pushing hardest for this coalition?  ??? Jack Layton, NDP Bob Rae, NDP (let's not kid ourselves) Ken Lewenza, CAW leader and NDP banker. It has been established that the coalition was proposed if...

Am I the only one who finds this a combination of hilarious, baffling, and infuriating? This man is in the process of attempting to circumvent the legitimacy of the elected Parliament. I'm shaking the bones and burning incense, hoping Her Excellency will call them both before her for a short...

Not sure if it's a hijack - I'm replying to a comment in your post, if not the main thrust of your message.  :blotto: A bunch of us discussed this a while back, shaking our heads at the notion that a Reservist with 3 years in qualifies for a Veteran's license plate.  ::) I have just started...

Ahh, but our Squadrons - being sub-units of the Regiment - don't have Orderly Rooms. We have RORs, not SORs.  ;)

Waayy up at reply #15, Dataperson quoted the Canforgen discussing this award: I read this as Deliberate-yet-mistaken Blue-on-Blue - whether an overeager troop bounds in front of his own fireteam partner and gets hit, or - as in RHFC_Piper's case - friendlies get hit by other friendlies who...

Combined with a set of $12 Canadian Tire ice cleats, they are in fact the cat's a$$ for walking the dog in a slush 'n' ice lubricated park... (Don't laugh - I've worn the cleats on ex, on a SA range, and on a Cougar pad. They do suck though for getting in and out of vehs, and for...

... and one wonders why one's regiment has such issues getting the troops out for parades and ftx's. (Hey, 1 out of 7 isn't bad!) :brickwall:

Hell, even we did the hatless shuffle. There were a few of us who used to rotate on a regular basis - march in, march out, trade hats, march back in again. "Why are you two in front of me AGAIN?!" "It's Tuesday, sir."  ;D Things have gotten silly the other way - I've been told in no uncertain...

Straight water heat transfer isn't actually that bad; the biggest problem with car engine heat transfer is the surface tension of the water keeping it out of the surface irregularities that are part of any commercially-produced metal surface, effectively reducing your heat transfer area by an...

"You see? Even their language is biased - "HUMAN rights..." (sorry, wrong thread - belongs over in Movie Quotes)  ;D

The original GWagon 8-car recce troop loadout was 4x GPMG, 2x ATGM, 2x AGL. So. 2 per RegInf coy, + 2 per ResArmd tp = ... ?  ;D (Yes, I'm being completely facetious. We can barely get AMUs for these things. I really can't see a full-FCS DF/IF weapon going in.)  ::)

"Keep that up, and we're trading you for beer!" - standard threat frustrated-parent noise, uttered towards our 2yo daughter. Lock us up - please! We could use the peace and quiet...

We sure did. Usually fired two rounds per year at gun camp (total for the year, not per gunner!) as a demo. Never really hit anything...  ::) Not sure if it was true, but we were always told was that it was too short-ranged for an offensive weapon, but at 100yds the spread would cover another...

If I'm not mistaken, the US wore their chevrons point-down until 1902, long after the revolution(s?).
