"No YOU are wrong Sgts Major!" Self righteous subby to angered CSM...

Jeez, here on the West Coast we have our own home grown militants... http://apc.resist.ca/ Makes one pine for East central SK, where life is simple and ethnic difference means Pilsner or LL, eh Wes?

What?! Executive decision on 'higher priority' items, BV? Now where's fun is that? *slowly backs out of room* All in jest. Valid points either side, even if some are not directly on topic IMO.

That's a lot of weight loss, that takes motivation. Hope I do as well, just got word I was loaded for the july course, not overly prepared. Bash on Mind. edit for typo

MedTech, Regarding training w/ sword, what about the mounted troop the Strathcona's have? I saw the tail end of their performance here in Vancouver at the PNE and, I was impressed. While this is a leaky arguement it goes to show we still have some real live trained-for-more-than-ceremonial sword...

Al_729, An officer may have their own sword but, it must be of a pattern approved for their particular branch or group. There are half a dozen (off the top of my head) patterns of sword in the CF. If you look at some of the links preceding this post, you can see what fits where. rwgill, I...

+1 Infantry_wannabe. Mercer has always openly supported the forces. I remember when he used his air time to show the troops in Bosnia and again to play around RMC. Hillier is a hard charger and very common sense. Up the Ricks!

I actually see this as a fluid battle and not a set piece massacre of standards. davidhmd may have been hitting us with some sarcasm but, I think that idea could work. As the CF now does fitness testing at training centres, firefighters can use something similiar. If you don't make the standard...

Well put paracowboy. I think your iron triangle is an expanded version of the one simple thing men want. To avoid frustration. Food, naps and boobs can be taken in any quantity for any situation either before, during or after it occurs. I can see it now, "The Man Clinic: Steakhouse and...

Thanks for the link Librarian. I think the military section is the largest there. Canada has a lot to be proud of militarily. As an aside, I just watched all of them. I think I have Canada sensory overload.

navymich, seen. The Tudor is one of the few places I've been to in the Greater Victoria area. If I make it I'm willing to do the work wherever it's at!

Hmm, I'm considering making the trip to chicktoria. I'm gonna say that pub on admiral (close to the base) should also be a good starting point (ahh, fabulous esquimalt). And if anyone needs cheap accomodations, the fabulous Hotel Douglas in the downtown area has cheap rooms, $50 or less the last...

Oh the drastic changes! PJ's is no more for several years now, rebranded and rebuilt but you can still get chips. Watson is now a one elevator town too. You'll have to have a boo on your way past. The town also erected a 20' Santa to rival that bloody goose ;D

Saskatchewan, but living and PRes-ing in Vancouver. Wes, I think I remember you being from Quill. This is of course because I'm from Watson (the great big centre it is). I miss the open skies but I've grown to love the rainy type winter in Vancity as well.

OCdts are addressed as "Mr." are they not? Either way, let the beasting begin :P

Favourites eh? Well, there is a laundry list. I started out in '98 is good ol' C&C. I then found Panzer General II and played it, but never passed the final mission (must be too moist in the southern US). After that I went through the Campaign Series on both fronts. I've handled Steel Beasts and...

Outstanding! I'll be searching youtube soon.

original Challenger 2 during trials?

I don't think that the hand eye coordination of grognards matches that of the Starcraft player :P The speed at which some grognards go is much slower than the historical battles they recreate!

Brigadier General Sharpe? Used to be director of reserves and army cadets. If you want to start a sea cadet corps, more power to you. The only problem I see is the fact that there is another corps right there in a small town. I grew up in rural SK and was a cadet in a rural corps. Numbers on...
