    Anti-War Protest Message Highlights

    Just direct them to http://ruxted.ca/index.php?/archives/75-GOOD-NEWS!.html and watch as their brain melts at the concept of the military having been a GOOD thing for Afghanistan. I wish I could really begin to understand the whole 'Canada is killing civillians' or 'US is murdering innocents'...

    Insoles - Cost of Orthotics

    Funny, I got mine prescribed by a podiatrist who used this foam brick thing to shape my orthotics, which were then sent in as a mold. I don't see how they could have been made incorrectly. I'll try running with specific running shoes purchased from the Running Room before I cry foul and get new...

    Insoles - Cost of Orthotics

    My problem is actually really, really simple. When I run without orthotics, get crippling shin splints. Run with orthotics, get extremely bad pains in my lower back. What's a 19 year old with military aspirations to do? Seriously, anyone else experience anything like this or know how I might...

    Taliban Jack shares gay pride in Vancouver

    There's an abstract connection here to Afghanistan, but I don't see why the link here was necessary. I mean, I dislike Taliban Jack as much as the next guy, especially since this was likely an exploitive photo-op... But if he wants to show support for homosexuals, why is this necessarily a bad...

    How long is the Reserves application process taking these days?

    My experience seems to suggest it goes particularly fast nowadays, although if you have previous service be prepared to wait a few. I dropped out of the ROTP program last summer and applied to the reserves this spring, and it took them months to get all the paperwork from St. Jean, Quebec, to...

    The most pathetic anti-war demonstration

    Remember, Conservative = warmonger. How could you not know this living in North America for the last, oh, 2 decades?  ::)

    Halo 3!!!!

    The arbiter is just as dangerous :p but whether he fits within the classic definition of 'man' is another story. Sgt. Johnston is also dangerous, just because he's freaking invincible.

    Battlefield 2 (video game)

    Play it, love it, anxiously awaiting the Conflict Canada (click for link) mod that will add Canada to the game. I have to disagree that the game is ultrarealistic, but it is certainly fun enough, especially in teams. I almost always play sniper, special forces, or gunner (support) as those are...

    Wikipedia's featured article for the next 24 hrs spotlights Army

    Funny. I was of the impression that we became a country in 1867, but we became a NATION at Vimy Ridge, so is the popular saying among historyians. I hate when people play down the participation in wars and seem to believe Canada's primary, if not only, focus is peacekeeping.

    The 2006 Stanley Cup Playoff Thread

    They played well, but damn, if they had played with the intensity they played with in the 3rd period, but for the entire game, it would have been theirs, or at least forced into overtime. All in all, damned good run. You made Canada proud. Heck, half of Carolina is Canadian anyways ;)

    Venezuela Superthread- Merged

    I found another article on it from Europe. Thought it might be nice to post this one as well. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,13509-2228233,00.html I seen this on another website filled mostly with liberals from America, and the general reaction was 'See? We shouldn't have been messing...

    Women in the German Army

    Utterly painful to watch. I had to give up halfway through... All for women in the military, but they should be treated by the same standards.

    A Protesters Response To "The Ex Charging Bison" Thread

    I love how they use soundbytes for some promotional 'Moving to Winnepeg' video, as if these exercises go on everyday. Pure genius with the exageration, that's for sure. I'm wondering, have these people ever heard of 'Don't shoot the messenger'? Seems they were quite disrespectful to the common...

    Inquiry about the shuttle run

    While the issue is something that still needs to be sorted out, I don't think it's a big concern for me. I tested myself today on a treadmill, 1% grade, starting at 8.5km/h and ranking up .5km/h every minute, and I got to 12.0km/h after 8 minutes without it winding me much at all, which would be...

    ROTP going to IAP This summer

    Yup, arriving at 1:00 PM Sunday... It is cutting it close. But I can't do much about it.

    ROTP going to IAP This summer

    Glovertown, Newfoundland. 40 minutes outside of Gander, which you should be able to see on a map of the province. I think I'm actually flying out on the 25th, but I may be wrong. And I agree, 23rd seems a little early, but that's just more time to get used to it all.

    ROTP going to IAP This summer

    BF2 specializing in LMGs and Sniper Rifles. Ready when you are. I also played World of Warcraft, and before that City of Heroes/Villains, but dropped those because I have basic this summer, starting the 26th, which answers your other question :p

    ROTP going to IAP This summer

    Civi U preferred choice. And I wasn't active after I dropped hockey, at all, really, which was a year and a half ago... And due to work at Mary Browns, I didn't get out much that summer, so it wasn't until January that I really started working out again, this time at a gym. Oh, and I was and...

    Inquiry about the shuttle run

    Muchos gracias. And of course, I promise I ain't gonna aim for the minimum. Aiming for the minimum is a good way to shoot yourself in the foot and handicap yourself later on. Any idea how fast Level 6 is though? From the descriptions I've gathered of the shuttle run, it's 8.5 km/h starting...

    ROTP going to IAP This summer

    Going in for Infantry, or if you mean for university, a Physics degree. Overall average of 92% coming out of high school (Valedictorian). Played on the local hockey team up until halfway through last year and did swimming, softball, and golf off and on. Also a former provincial silver medalist...
