Security Council permanent membership was decided based on who had Nuclear weapons at the time. The veto on said council is of course a polite way of saying, "we'll nuke your ass if you go through with this!" Any permanent member state (those with Veto) can lose it's power of veto in votes...

In a cab on my way to work.  I don't recall what was suppposed to be the day's tasking but it got dropped due to new information coming in. As an Int Op you know the first thing to do was head to the Television at the unit.  Sit down with the rest of the Int crew in house that day, and...

Well it happened... and they had some plan in place. http://www.deepikaglobal.com/latestnews.asp?ncode=19766 Big ol' mess.

No yet. The only time I was ever jacked up for the Robin Hood Style wearing of the old bush cap, was at CFSCE in the field.  At my unit, they would be happy enough to see me wearing it at all. Given that it is field kit, I'd think the personal comfort of the soldier comes into play somewhat...

In which case accepting the promotion would then mean you could not go back by your own choice?  On Paper being the opperative words there too. More of what I was getting at.  For a Reservist to go on a tasking available as a lower rank than they currently hold. Certainly is the case going...

All these comments about the length of time required for various clearances is interesting... There is a level higher than Level III - Top Secret.  It is SA (Special Access) which is really a very small list of people and specific to an exact location, topic, or set of information. My Level...

Just a few questions regarding the practice of dropping rank (say from Sgt. to MCpl) in order to qualify for a tasking. Has anyone here done this, or thought about it? What are the effects of doing so (besides then qualifying for the task)? What unofficial effect did it have (cold shoulders...

Pretty good reflection of the day's routine. The FTX daily routine would depend on what shift you got. Short straw gets 2400-0600.

After the caffienne gum trials they decided we could chew.  Less spilled drinks going over rough terrain...  ;)

  My experience in Bosnia with SFOR HQ's computer support cell was that given the number of national forces present, and the requirement to share data, that using multiple OSes would have made it much more difficult. Most DND computer users have a Windows based OS at home, so retraining is...

Perhaps our training models and exercises need to reflect more realistic situations. Training that causes an instinctive 'drop him' response is good in that there is little delay between the need to act, and the action. However, the instinctive reaction, which I think should be trained into...
