Dartmouth for me also. When do you swear in? 2.5 years.... I would have loved a wait that short. Got a few comments at the recruiting office about the age of my file. Rey

At work & just got my call. DEO Sigs. Swear in on the Aug 24th. No idea of when I fly out but I'm in BOTC on the 27th. 4 years of waiting, finally over.  :)

Sorry, must have skimmed it when I was catching up, and didn't remember reading it..... Kids cause C.R.S., that's my excuse, and I'm sticking with it. Total speculation on my side here, but I remember reading an article a couple of days ago that indicated that some of the waters around...

An interesting perspective from the British side, sort of explaining the actions of the RN. Gwynne Dyer: Better that Iranians didn't go after Yanks A similar attack on Americans could have led to casualties and an excuse for Bush to bomb Iran...

According to an interview I just heard with the three survivors, they are primarily against the death penalty. According to them this is the current penalty for kidnapping. They are individually deciding how to respond to the trial. Ultimately, these people are living according to their...

Hi recceguy I'd say blame the photographer. Could be both issues discussed here, A Muslim and/or Lebanese trying to create some PR or it could be a photographer out to make some cash, or both. Just to explain how photos work, as far as I know. I work at a newspaper (IT, not a reporter  :))...

True, but for a discussion it gives us a starting point. Let me explain my reasoning for the two points. for Lebanon: It makes no use to come to an agreement with the Lebanese govt on a treaty of some kind and have Hezbollah continue on as usual. If they do, eventually, we will find ourselves...

Hi all, I have a question for those of you who are better informed on Israeli strategy than myself. I heard on CBC this morning that Hezbollah claimed to have destroyed 13 armoured vehicles (CBC said tanks, but I find that reporters usually  include APC's in that category). I haven't been...

Hi all, I'm not a Troll. So let me make my position clear. I am a civilian. Mostly a lefty with some righty tendencies, primarily in policing and military. I have a different position than someone as yourself, I will try to back up any position with cited evidence. Though, I will admit...

Hi all, Sorry for the long delay, work was really busy, then it was the long weekend. What part of my statement was false? If you're going to rebut my statement, please cite your evidence. Actually, this particular fight has been going on since 1948. Israel has been dishing out horrifying...

Not going to be me. I don't think you can quash an established guerrilla movement by force. How about: If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If...

I remember one called Map of the Human Heart. Inuit bomber pilot in WWII.

In regard to the Terrorist factions comment. That can be discussed in depth with a lot of finger pointing. Ultimately, my response is, certain groups feel they have a grievance. Until they feel their grievance is being addressed, they will continue to act. *WE* can discuss the offers and...

Thanks for the list kincanucks. Trying for a DEO position in CELE, Sigs or NCS Engr, at least I now have an idea of staffing requirements.
