    For runners: www.mapmyrun.com

    www.mapmyrun.com For those of you who haven't seen or used this site, I highly recommend it.  It is a combination of google and mapquest which allows you to save your runs (either publically or privately).  It also permits you to search different running routes that other people have used.  I...

    Rubik's Cube

    ... it's making a comeback. And I am just as addicted as I was the first time 25 years ago.  I know I could undoubtedly find a solution easily on the internet but I love the challenge of this dementing little puzzle!

    Any marathoners here?

    I am just wondering if there are any other marathoners here or if anyone is currently training for one? I am planning to run the PEI Marathon in October.  I may run the Saint John or Toronto Waterfront Half Marathon as one of my training runs in early September.  I haven't decided yet whether I...

    Wanna desert from the American forces? Read Desertion to Canada For Dummies

    I was poking around the internet looking around for information on Franscisco Juarez when I found this most interesting document.  It is basically a 'how-to' guide for American deserters wishing to get into Canada.  I was particularly displeased at how they counsel them to draw social assistance...

    Another lesson in being careful about what you say in a public forum

    This is further evidence that we must think carefully about the content of our posts here. The Halifax Chronical Herald has relied on army.ca as a source commenting on the 'desertion' story.  (see the closing paragraphs of the story http://www.herald.ns.ca/Front/550004.html) Kudos to the mods...

    Looking for reading materials on Chechnya

    Does anyone have a good book suggestion on Chechnya, Ingushetia, Georgia, Dagestan etc.  I am looking for both current analysis as well as historical commentary, preferably with as little bias as possible. (I know I am asking a lot!)

    Lenin's Tomb by David Remnick

    Although not military literature, has anyone read Lenin's Tomb by David Remnick about the last days of the crumbling Soviet Empire. It's a good read.

    CT vs. OT

    Does anyone know if reservists can do an OT while a CT application is pending (so that they switch to the trade for which they have applied for a CT)? Thanks

    More Whining about Lengthy CT times

    I was advised that my CT to Legal will likely take about one year to complete.  I cannot for the life of me understand the delay.  It makes no sense. I am accustomed to being recruited by law firms with highly competitive offers.  They make it clear that they want me to join their firm...

    Everyone pay heed: posting images of the dead or injured

    I think we should demonstrate better judgment and taste than to be posting images of the deceased or injured here on this website.  As noted many times, there are many prying eyes here during times of heightened media attention.  Moreover, I plead with you to show more respect to the...

    JAG Recruiting Process Question

    Having called the local CFRC, I understand that the JAG recruiting process may be somewhat different from the normal DEO process.  Kincanucks, can you shed some light on what to expect? Also, having spoken with a Res AJAG recently, I have been advised that RES AJAGs are currently eligible to CT...

    Hello from CAP!!!

    I just wanted to say a quick hello from sunny (and muggy/blistering hot) Gagetown.  My CAP course is just winding up as we are moving in to the last week of the last mod before we start admin/outclearance week. I thought it might be a good opportunity to touch base with all you army.ca...
