That Globe headline put a pretty negative spin on a nice little Canadian (and Ghurka) victory. BTW, those Van Doos are taking care of business IMHO.

Hmmm, war with Venezuela?  :o Well at least it's not that far away.

Yikes! OK that's pretty intense looking.

He's such a nutbag I can't even watch his movies anymore. Anybody see him on Oprah that time (cue Twilight Zone music) ? :o

This is the problem with having everything that flies under Air Command. The Chinooks are not "for" the Air Force. If the Army controlled Tac Hel I bet we'd get them faster.

Dapaterson, point taken. However I work as a civilian for DND and it is different there, as in CPAO 6.28 MILITARY LEAVE, here's a link http://hr.dwan.dnd.ca/hrciv/cos/dcshrp/en/home_e.asp?reference=11044247 That's what I was thinking of, I guess.

If you are a federal government employee, yes.

I've always wondered what those upside down "V"'s on a tank mean. Can anybody tell me?

Reminds me of that old wartime song: Kiss me good night Sgt Major Tuck me in my little wooden bed We all love you Sgt Major Especially when you holler "Show A Leg!" Don't forget to wake me in the morning Bring me round a nice hot cup of tea Kiss me good night Sgt Major Sgt Major be a mother to me

The black beret comes from the Royal Tank Regiment of the British Army, the only armoured unit that is not considered a calvary regiment.

Look, I don't think it's surprising that the public, or Rosie di Manno for that matter, don't understand why the troops were in a Gator. People see it as a vehicle, and they see a LAV or a Nyala as a vehicle, and can't understand why they weren't in a vehicle that offered some protection vice...

I got one and it's the same size and fit as a Parkhurst. The differences are the leather groove on the back of the stiffener, which is handy for those who wear metal cap badges, and the colour is slightly darker than the Parkhurst. It's the same green as on the previous issue berets.

Just FYI, I just logged into Clothing Online and in my 'catalogue" they are now offering only "Belgian-style" berets in green and black, in case anybody is interested. The red and maroon are still the old style ones, but I guess they'll be replaced too. Looks like this is going to be the...

Jim, you go buddy. I did basic at age 50. The young guys got a kick out of me and picked me up more than once. It's one of the greatest experiences you can ever have. All the best!

I hear kids use this expression and it sounds to me like it's actually pretty far away from any actual reference to homosexuality. With honestly no homophobia on my part, I think its fair dues if the word "gay" gets corrupted again, as it wasn't all that long ago that it was common English word...

Well, I just cancelled my Globe subscription, and sent a nice email to Mr Doyle.  :threat: I don't mind commentary in the paper that is opposed to the mission, but not from the bloody TV critic.

What's the difference between a 36 month Class C res contract and a three-year Reg Force contract?

I think you're maybe thinking of something like this. This version does still get used quite a bit.

I had something like that once. Turned out it was a calcium deposit and it went away on its own. It never caused me any problems - it just looked funny.

Don't want him in the Mo either.
