OK thanks. Enough already.

Sunday, September 25, 2005 Posted at 7:30 PM EDT Canadian Press Ottawa - Michaëlle Jean is giving up her dual citizenship in France as she prepares to take over as governor-general - a post that will make her the titular head of the Canadian military. "In light of the responsibilities...

Well I don't know them anymore than someone who gets their information from the media would know them.    I'm sorry that it's not obvious to me that they are more worthy of being Governors General than Madame Clarkson was. Certainly not just because they get good press, to the extent that they...

Excuse me, I'm sure you'd be the first to complain about the "Liberal press" and the Liberal government in this country (and how both are in league against the CF too). All this crap about Madame Clarkson's so-called spending was a media fabrication and a non-issue, eg. the RCMP requires for...

I've heard time and time again that the vegetarian IMPs are really great but never knew anyone with the nerve to claim to be a vegetarian to get them. I heard they have lots of pasta-based meals. Anyone ever tried them?

The meals themselves are in a waterproof bag inside the cardboard box. The box is handy as a holder for eating your meal when it's hot in the bag, but it depends on how you've broken the rats down, re space, if you can still carry the the little box.

I've seen the odd Log guy wearing the metal cap badge (not talking about the officer's gold wire one). Dress regs are kind of vague for NCMs as they just say cloth or metal, but are not unit or branch specific. Anybody know what the Log branch policy is on cap badges? I have a metal one in my...

Pieman, the profile required to pass the St-Jean course is B (Reading) A (Writing) and B (Oral).

I'm with you G-man. But easy for you to say since you're a Patricia  :)

I wish officers had their ranks on the shoulder straps of the tunic, having it as gold braid on the cuff makes them look like they work for WestJet.

Well, I agree with you there, but how many people would actually do that? You mean "a tailor" - not "the base tailor", right?  ;) But you look at any parade and there's guys with big flapping flaring floodpants right up at the top of their ankle boots, tunics so short their arse is sticking out...

Well spoken K(C)at Stevens. ;D

The green bus driver hat was indeed awful. But the the Guards look is really great. Usually, most of us only wear DEU these days for ceremonial parades and such. I don't think it would be a big hardship to look after a smart-looking hat that you only had to take out on special occasions. I find...

I think the MILCOTS is a fine ride. The only problem is the rear differential is about 8 inches of the ground.

From the Globe and Mail 14/09/2005 http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20050914.wgraham0914/BNStory/National/ By STEPHEN THORNE Wednesday, September 14, 2005 Canadian Press Ottawa - Defence Minister Bill Graham will go to cabinet this fall with proposals to buy new...

Because the Toronto Police press release made specific mention of it.

Thank you Sir.

Capt O'Leary, if these mbrs are found guilty by the civilian courts, to what extent are they liable under the NDA, if they were not signed in when this happened?

Wow. Guess the press aren't to blame for this at all are they? Looks like they just ran the TPS press release almost verbatim. So are we supposed to start crying about the the police making the army look bad now?

No I don't miss it. I used to love it but now I much prefer CFL football: great athletes who go all out for a fraction of what hockey players make.
