well, we made it through april and may. as long as israel doesn't attack iran this month it looks like we're in the clear. i don't see russia or pakistan actually getting involved though, even if there were to be some kind of clash between israel and iran.

I am more than ok with this idea. I think that the Canadian prison system has moved away from the three pronged approach prison was originally intended to have. Prison is meant to a) be a bad place to be for the individual, b) keep individuals out of general society and, c) be a place where...

Haha, I like to think he would focus on the positive aspect of the comment.

Being a reservist during university is great. Helps pay for tuition, keeps you in shape, gives you a few weekends where you have to do something other than drink, and I've found both university staff (profs, TAs, etc) as well as my superiors at the regiment have been really helpful in terms of...

That is the biggest issue I have with this article. I can't see the USA completely dropping the special relationship they have with Britain or becoming so isolationist in the next six years that they would not intervene, especially in a war of conquest against the UK.

Pretty simple, really. Running is great fitness.

First thing to learn: effective use of the search tool. It is your best friend. There is already a thread about ROTP and RCM going on right now. Most of your questions can be answered there so give it a read through. If you want more specific information, post your questions there. Link below...

I would highly recommend joining the Reserves while in university. It gets you into the system, gets basic out of the way, gives you a taste of what the regular force is like and is very doable in terms of being a full time student and a part time soldier. I in the Reserves right now while at...

I don't think anyone is expecting him to shower praise and love on the US but to talk about such a ridiculous scenario (war between Pakistan and the States) and then to say he would side with Pakistan is unnecessary and can do nothing but irritate NATO and in particular America. Seems like a...

I haven't graduated yet, I'm in my second year. My understanding was that through some summer courses I could still do it. But I might be wrong. Continuing education - the main reason anyone should post or read topics on this site. Also I messed up the original post. Meant to say become an...

Anybody doing reserves while at civvy uni and then planning on applying to ROTP once you've graduated? That's my plan right now. Took my CFAT and was told by my file manager that I would had good potential as an officer.

Today on the bus I heard a guy explaining that they could build a bridge and, if it wasn't high enough for ships to get under it, all they would have to do is dredge so that the water level dropped and then it would be fine. I had to intervene, I couldn't let those people go on thinking that was...

Yea I don't expect any military action, given the way things played out. Had the attack actually been executed, then I think the US would have had to consider at least some kind of military strike or response but, since it was broken up in the planning stages I don't think anything beyond a...

I'm not knocking it at all! That's exactly how I learned it too! But years later, knowing it back to front, the fact that I still do it constantly in my head worries me a bit.
