    Advice for women on BMQ and other courses [MERGED]

    Do the non combat arms need to be as physically fit as the combat arms?  If not, why not change the wording in the PT requirements.  Where it lists the requirements for men, substitute 'Combat Arms' and where it says women, substitute 'Non-Combat Arms'. /my $0.02 (civilian) cents

    Clean energy claim: Aluminum in your car tank

    This isn't entirely correct.  On a large enough timeline, there is balance to this, but one example is a cathodic reaction (rusting, essentially) where the electrolyte is water which is 2 H2O + O2 + 4 e -> 4 OH.  Any water that is used should be polished to the point that it will not damage...

    Canadian Arrested in Afghanistan

    It makes me sad that he was willing to carry arms against the people who took him in.

    Canadians won't fire if women, children present

    I tried to type a few questions to this earlier today, and am actually surprised at the lack of response to this. Before I do ask, is there an issue with OPSEC discussing the whys and wherefores of this article?  It touches on engagement rules, but leaves quite a bit to be read between unclear...

    Warner Bros.calls Canada "Piracy Haven", cancels movie screenings

    I'm really not sure that I care about this.  As I'm not sure, I'm pretty sure I don't.  ;) I rent movies, fairly often in fact.  I don't often go to the movies though, as with 2 kids it becomes an expensive night pretty quickly. As long as they don't change when the rentals come out, I'll be...

    Your Beer Brand of Choice

    Green bottles are ok, as are clear as long as the beer is in a SEALED case.  It doesn't take very long for beer to become light struck, and get skunky.

    Table Top Strategy Games

    I grew up playing pen and paper RPGs, and moved into games like Battletech, Risk, Axis and Allies and Rise and Decline of the Third Reich.  That was a game, I swear it was designed by 25 guys from Mensa.  It took us over three months to finish WWII.  I started playing 40k about 10 years ago, and...

    Your Beer Brand of Choice

    Well, my avatar picture certainly isn't a water glass.  ;D I am on a mission to try as many different beer as possible this year.  My local favorite would have to be Wellington Imperial Stout.  I have found Wellington to be an all around good brewer. Worldwide, my favorite is Chimay Blue...

    Prince Andrew visits the Royal Highland Fusiliers of Canada. 05 May 07

    It was a beautiful day for a parade.  We drove down to the church by the cenotaph, and walked around for a bit.  The grassed area there is a good diversion for the kids, so we stayed there to watch. We got to see the salute to the cenotaph, and we walked around to stay behind them and hear the...

    Prince Andrew visits the Royal Highland Fusiliers of Canada. 05 May 07

    I'll be going to the parking lot with my family, which is where I saw them from last night. I expect to be getting there pretty early, as I know there will be a great turn out.

    Prince Andrew visits the Royal Highland Fusiliers of Canada. 05 May 07

    I went for a hot dog at Frank's tonight with my kids, and saw the RHFC had closed down part of Water St. in Cambridge, preparing themselves for Saturday. They looked good, and will do Cambridge proud, I'm sure. Shared with the usual caveats...

    Stories my recruiter told me.......

    My experience will be as anecdotal as most in this thread I think, but here goes. I spoke with Capt. T______r a month or so ago, and had all of my questions answered.  I even had the opportunity to speak with a ROTP OCdt. who was there as a PAT.  There were quite a few things that I would not...

    MedTech is thinking about trying a cigar! Any suggestions?

    I have quit cigs, but still smoke the occasional cigar.  With the level of chemical that I am getting with each one, I doubt that it will lower my lifespan.  I don't inhale them, never have, and don't suggest it to anyone. Thomas Hinds used to have a shop in Kitchener, closed for a few years...
