This guy really is too much: I was reading his forum. One of the people who had his forum entries deleted was questioning why, if Freedom of Speech was their claim, did his forum entry get deleted? The reply, in part:  "Forsake The Troops encourages free speech, to a point. We will not...

Ok, thanks Aesop.  8)

>:D So... If I am a civy living in Esquimalt, and I join the Reg force and get posted to Esquimalt, would I get PLD for Esquimalt?  Further, would it make a difference if I requested (via posting preference, or other forms of request) a posting there?  After all, I was living there without any...

There are a few out there.  The one I know of is www.themilitarylife.com .  Cheers    8)

Good video!  One thing though:  what is the name of that song, now that it's ingrained so deeply in my head...    8)

Mortar Guy, Sasha Trudeau should have replied, "Just watch me... "    ;) (For those who don't know, during the FLQ crisis, that's the line Prime Minister Trudeau used with the press)

Thanks Mike, It worked. :army: 

The home page was wide for me too.  I have Firefox 1.0.2. 

:warstory: Where's the shellscrapes?  lol

Inch, Sounds like good old all-around cooperation to me.  Makes perfect sense.  8)

Thanks for the info Navalsnipr.  8) Bruce, I have to agree that the Artillery have a strong "men come first" attitude - I served with the Artillery, and they put me through my JLC and LLQ Courses in Shilo (1992/1993).  Come to think of it, even in Cornwallis, the Course Senior and Squad...

What's the Airforce rule of thumb for this?

I prefer the Army way as well.  The men come first, that's what I was taught.

Shelldrake, I was in the same regiment as the soldier who took the helicopter for a ride.  That story was one of the first I was told when I was posted there.  The rumour was that a short time after returning from Club Ed, he was promoted, but I don't know that for sure... backinblack

The thing that concerns me is if you take offense to what has been said here instead of seeing it as constructive... how are you going to take it in Basic Training? If memory serves me correctly, my instructors in Basic held back no punches when they found it necessary to correct me on any...

Army "urban legend" from way back... During Parade inspection, RSM halts in front of a soldier, turns to face him, and pokes his pacestick into the soldier's chest: RSM:  "Soldier - do you know what's on the end of this stick?" Soldier:  "No Sir!" RSM:  "There's s**t on the end of this...

CFRS Cornwallis 8824 7 Platoon - Said to a recruit in 3 squad who shall remain nameless: "LORD TUNDRIN...    Lad - I've seen skid marks before, but THIS looks like a NINE-CAR PILEUP!!!! >:D

CFRS Cornwallis 8824 7 Platoon - RCR MCpl (No-names-no-pack-drill):  "Preston!!!" Me:  "Yes, Master Corporal!" RCR MCpl:  "Where did me and your mother ever go wrong!!?" :cdn: ;D  LOL!

Bojangles, I think the second thoughts you are having are a result of "loss of control" of the situation - this BMQ, and the resulting 3 year contract are rushing up on you.  It's not uncommon to have cold feet about your decision.  The cool part is that you are aware of it. My suggestion...
