I couldn't see this belonging anywhere else but here. I'm considering picking up some noise cancelling headphones, for use watching movies etc on my laptop. My concern is using these overseas, is it a good idea? As I understand it, they block out low frequency noise (engines, air conditioners...

Nothing came up in a search, so here goes. I'm rather fond of the issued desert sock, however the system being what it is I didn't get issued enough (and likely wont in the near future) so I'm looking for a suitable supplement for them (same thickness, material etc) that I can purchase at a...

Got a pair of waterproof SWATs, size 10.5, that I purchased recently. Regrettably, they don't fit me. Worn 3 times (in garrison, not in the field). Great condition. Looking to get $80 for these (paid $140) + we'll work out a reasonable shipping rate.

I know my reputation among some of the 'cool kids' (I mean that in jest, before anyone gets upset) isn't so great here anymore...but I've got a situation on my hands that is causing me some worry for a couple of reasons, and I need some advice/help from our resident law enforcement types. I'll...

For anyone in the Edmonton area (I doubt anyone wants to pay shipping for used boots). As per the title, for sale is a pair of black Original Swat boots, size 10.5 and gently used. They've been worn about 10 times, all in garrison. They've been polished a couple times and have some wrinkling...

If the 2011 'end date' or 'mission change date' (or whatever it's called these days) holds true, then few of the troops joining now will see combat (or in my case, most of the folks going through ROTP right now will not deploy to Afghanistan in the kinds of roles they think they are). I can't...

Anyone on here know location/contact info? Preferrably a military one, on the base itself would be even better.

http://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=1351216 As much as I don't appreciate some of the attitudes of some LE types I've dealt with, this guy deserves an 'idiot' award (if such a thing exists). When the nice man in uniform tells you to turn off your car, you turn off your car. 

"A retired judge wants two Ontario universities to bar Muslim students from being awarded scholarships he has established, though the spokesperson for one institution says her school won't support a proposal that 'flies in the face of everything we stand for'."...

I think this is the right spot for this. Does anyone have contact info for the Base Borden Pipes and Drums (assuming it still exists)? I did a google search and couldn't find any contact info or a website (I don't have DIN access). Also, does anyone know the skill level they play at. I have...

This question has been nagging me lately, not sure why. I'm assuming there are at least a couple ROTP types who go to York University, and I've been wondering, what did the CF do with them considering that York has been shut down for, I believe, over 50 days? What is the CF's policy when...

Surprised no one's posted this yet. Apparently the officer was hit in the head by a shotgun pellet when some fleeing suspects fired at him. Minor injuries and he was released from hospital. In other words, from very lucky officer...

To satisfy my idle curiosity, I noticed two different law enforcement vehicles in my area, did a google search etc and couldn't really find anything (besides ID'ing what organisation they belonged to) on what these types of peace officers do etc (again, just idle curiosity). If anyone here can...

I'm pretty sure I posted this in the right place. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20081118/AUTOS_young_drivers_081118/20081118?hub=Canada Essentially, under this law 'youth' 21 and under will have to have a zero BAC to drive (right now it depends on your class of license...

http://toronto.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20081116/officer_attack_081116/20081116/?hub=TorontoNewHome Kudos to the officer for being able to recover and subdue the guy. Being hit with a bat is no small thing.

I'm wondering if there are any ATO's or people familier with the ATO's job here. I'm a number of years away from making any attempt to get into this job but I was hoping I could get a general idea of what this job is all about (as it's not a very well-known or advertised job).

Came across this photo today, at first I didn't give it much second thought until I noticed the cap badge...slip-on and who it was. For those of you who do not know, he his Colin Clansey who was the Pipe Major of the Air Command Pipes and Drums (not sure what he does now). Ranked 2nc best in the...
