This type of discussion always turns into a "the EXPRES test is meaningless" arguement.  However, wrt the original post saying that there are a lot of people failing it in Esquimalt, I have a couple points, in no particular order. 1) it's bloody hard to maintain, let alone build fitness while...

Ha.  Just being silly about having a bunch of gunned up Vandoos following me north from KC...not my idea of a good time if I were TB.  I'd have made some other sort of backhanded comment regardless of who was doing the chasing, intended as a compliment of course.  Bad enough driving around the...

I was looking at some other news sites, originally there was mention in some them of Arghandab being 235km north of the city, which is clearly wrong.  As to 25km, that's a tad far too, Arghandab actually starts right on the NW side of the city althought most of the fighting was a (very) few km...

Does anyone have any feedback on the Benchmade folders with the Axis (sp?) lock?  I like my Ruckus, but I've heard that  it's somewhat vulnerable to grit in the mechanism -  which might be an issue in theatre.  Keeping in mind that the feedback came from someone trying to sell me something else...

No doubt.  Too many people are too lazy to apply any critical thought.  It's easier to let the TV tell you what to like/dislike, what's funny, what you need to buy to make you happy. I was getting my will done last week - my lawyer had been in Hawaii the week before.  He said that he couldn't...

Here's an clip from the article associated with the poll:   "The poll found that Canadians with a university degree were the most likely to support the mission and nearly six in 10 Canadians whose households earn at least $60,000 a year were among those who are supportive. "What I think that...

That sounds similar to one of the recent posts from Ruxted - fate of NATO if Afghanistan is lost, wider repercussions to global security.  I hope that this is a view that gains more acceptance so people will finally realize how important this is - but why is it then, that so many Canadians can't...

That may be true, however the question remains. Maybe I'm overstepping for a new poster, but my question was intended to go a little deeper and examine motivations and beliefs.  After a certain point the conversation in question may have done more to alienate than educate.  If true, why is...

No, actually my question is more along the lines of why wouldn't someone have suggested the reserve as an option to this individual or to someone in a similar situation?  He got good advice, no arguement, but I'm not sure he got the benefit of all the experience here. The post title is just a...

After reading the string of posts I was left with a question in my mind why someone would not have suggested this to Conqueror.  I don't have a problem with the advice he was given, but I don't think he got the benefit of all the experience here, either. As to singling one user out, it was...

'On Killing' and 'On Combat' by Lt. Col. David Grossman are both worth reading. 'Ghosts of the Medac Pocket' by Carol Off 'Missing in Action: An RCAF Navigator's Story' by John Harvie - I've spoken with him - you have to admire someone who can bail out and then spend time in Buchenwald and...

Hello all.  This will be my first post after lurking for a year or two - for the last few days I've been looking around for a topic that was sufficiently in my 'lane' and to which I had something half decent to contribute.  I've just seen the catastrophic post and resulting conversation from...
