I bought a Stealth jacket a year ago, it gradually started to leak around the cuffs, hood, and shoulders. When the GorTex replenishing spray didn't change the situation I figured the jacket was damaged. I sent it into Peerless Garments based in Alberta and they sent me back a brand new one free...

Hi, I'm selling my Leatherman Wave, I've owned this for a while it's in good condition. I've always kept it oiled and the blades have been maintained and sharpened. I put a razor edge on the knife and the serrated blade better than the factory edge (I like sharpening). There's no wear or tear...

Hi, I was starting a RRSP account and a couple people asked if the army would match contributions made. This got me thinking. Does anyone know if the army offers investment incentives for members, such as special army bonds, T bills ect... Also to answer their question and mine, will the army...

Codine is synthasized in the brain to produce morphine. I don't know if it shows up in testing as morphine but Codine it self is not what numbs pain, its after its synthasized.

I met a friggin shady character while traveling through europe who thought it would be good conversation to tell me how he beat the drug testing in a Moroccon prision. He said drink a bunch of water till you go piss, then after you piss drink 2 L of water and hold it in until you have to pee...

I personally haven't had negative incidents with civilians. I've gotten all the questions: How do you feel about fighting in Afghanistan? How do you feel about the possibility of dying over there? ect ect... I have well throughout persuasive argument style answers, "in the breech" for these...
