Remuster? ;)

My airforce flying wedge! Cocked jauntily to the right, of course! ;)

Since we're veering dangerously off topic here.. I'm going to agree with GW that we don't need every Tom Dick and Harry running around telling everyone what their rights are. When people are charged, most of the time it happens when you're marched into the RSMs office to do the hatless dance...

Regarding teaching the troops the NDA, I have had no occasion to even see it other than what is quoted in the QR&Os. I will say though that on the Junior Leader's Course there is an in-depth study of the QR&Os and discussions of arrest and charge procedures. It's not really necessary for a...

Exactly what I thought.. Sounds like a thinly veiled threat :P

I want to know one for instance of when an officer has had occasion to arrest an instructor on course. And not some story about how your best friend's cousing's uncle's mechanic did it once, but something that can be verified. I think this is a ridiculous thread because there are a lot of people...

I agree with HollywoodHitman, this is a brutal thread. It's appropriate, and expected, that an instructor shows his students the proper respect due to rank and so forth, but that goes both ways, because an instructor is the student's superior, regardless of rank, while in the classroom. I would...

Joking? Ha, I wish.. I've seen that show off an on for years (Bob Baker must be an android), and while I've never seen an episode where the entire audience is military, I've seen plenty of groups of servicemen in full uniform sitting in the rows alongside the old heffers looking to win a new...

Ok, here's one to throw out for the wolves.. The Price is Right, with US servicemen in their uniforms jumping up and down and screaming like little girls while trying to win prizes on international tv. Comments?

When you are a student on a course, you are just that, a student. The instructor, regardless of rank, is your superior in the class room because they are (supposed to be) qualified to be there. If there are problems with an instructor, the student should make a complaint, but disciplinary action...

GW It's even better to see someone protesting our government while wearing the old "I am Canadian" t-shirt. I don't get that one.

I thought a lot of the Army Reserve units did this already? I had a friend who joined the arty reserves in 11th grade, and three years later he was a Master Bombadier. Smart guy, but again, no time in the job, and in the militia it's got to be even worse than reg force, with most parading being...

Considering the date of the article it begs the question as to whether there is an operational system out there right now. I'm really curious as to power requirements though, and as Pte Joe mentioned, heat would presumably be a problem for any system like that.

You got it pbi, that's exactly what I was doing. It was actually recommended to me by the recruiting center to get ready for basic.. Partially to break the boots in, and partially to break my back into the rucksack. I'm glad I did it as I was one of the few guys on course who didn't get any...

Haha, I was doing exactly that (hiking with civvie shorts/t-shirt, combat boots and rucksack) while preparing for BMQ and some guy pulled over on the side of the road and gave me crap, asked for my name/rank/svc # and unit, and said he was going to report me :P  Never heard anything more about...

I understand how PLD is linked to cost of living, but it seems like every time they give us something with one hand, they take something away with the other.. I'm just curious if PLD would go down because of this.. And yeah, it sucks that we won't get it before the RRSP deadline, although...

They actually shot down arty shells? As in airborne ones? That would be cool.. I wonder what the power requirements are.. Something like that might put the arty boys out of business pretty soon.. And imagine if they can hit that, how much longer until they start wiring it into a millimeter wave...

So does this affect PLD? Or rather, will it affect PLD (higher raise = lower PLD)?

Construction techs are glorified (ok maybe not glorified) carpenters. They are tasked with building structures from the ground up, or surveying land areas, or putting down concrete for rapid runway repair, or renovations, or installing AC units.. Some of the them work on outside projects, such...

It's one thing to power a laser and another for that laser to have enough energy to be able to damage a target. I think the biggest problem would be keeping the laser on target long enough to do damage. I think a particle beam weapon (ionized particles) would be more effective because it would...
