The difference is that this 15 year old threw a grenade in war.  WAR being the key component.  Whether it was as lawful or unlawful combatant, he did what any of us may have done in a firefight against an opponent.  If he was on our side, and threw the grenade at our enemy, he would be hailed...

Big, scary words....... socialist and communist  ::)  The PC's screwed up too much too often, and frankly after 44 years in power it was time for them to go.  The biggest boost for Rachel Notley came from the debate.  Brian Jean would not and did not stray from one phrase the whole time... lower...

You cannot keep your own food.  You won't have time for 2nd's or 3rd's.  3 meals per day: breakfast, lunch, dinner.

I know this is a really old topic, but I have questions about Athabasca University for anyone with experience with the institution. For their undergraduate programs, can you complete them by doing one subject at a time? Or do you have to enroll into the complete undergraduate program. I'm...

I donated a kidney in 2003, and enlisted in 2008.  Results may vary from person to person.

I'm drug tested annually.  I am also subject to a drug test following a recordable incident, for reasonable suspicion, or upon a client's request.  It's pretty standard now in the oilfield to have a pre-employment test, and regular or random testing.  Last time I worked for a oil-sector company...

Don't burn any bridges to jobs you hold prior to enlisting in the military.  They may be useful after you have decided the military isn't the life you thought it would be.  I was hired back within a week of leaving the military, 3 years after I had quit.  The work didn't last long, but I got a...

At least they might be accurate than the national registry that was only supposed to cost $1 million which ballooned to $2 billion.

The Canadian Airborne Regiment in Somalia was a good read.  It might not be exactly what you are looking for, but is history relevant. The prices for the book on Ebay and Amazon are outrageous.

Congress passed a non-binding resolution recognizing McCain as a natural-born citizen.  This was already afforded to him, as people born in the zone were retroactively granted the status, but it was to remove any doubt as to what kind of citizen he was so that it wouldn't be an issue in his...

Bring what how many ever towels it says on the kit list. You will get issued towels, but for the first week, you use your own.

Buy your own shoes.  The ones you are issued should never be worn for anything.

For end date, I would have put "present". 

Only a medical officer reviewing your application can give you a definitive answer.

Did the RCMP use the supposedly scrapped long gun registry to know which homes to target for firearms searches, or did they just come upon them by chance while ensuring homes were vacant?

I was deployed as part of Tpt, with Admin Coy. I never took part in any live fire training during work up training.  I got to do some of that fun stuff after I returned to Canada, when I was posted back to 3VP. I didn't even have IPSWQ until after I came back. Edit: I had the pleasure of...

As far as the "49 rounds a year" bit goes, I wouldn't doubt it. When I graduated Infantry DP1 in Sept 08, to the time I deployed to Afghanistan in Sept 09, I had fired just enough live rounds to zero my C-7 prior to it being bagged and shipped overseas.  Even blank rounds wasn't much better. ...
