    Foreign Exchange programs??

    Just had a quick read through, and didn't see any mention of the CANZEX( Canada NZ Exchange) . It's open to all trades and ranks. It is usually 30 days or less (more if you can justify it) and costs your unit nothing, and is very easy to apply for. It's managed by a SO at the SJS, and for me was...

    Mystery Vehicle Part

    I found this...looks promising. It's the rear of an M-7 Priest. As far as I know (some please correct me if I'm wrong), they were based on the Sherman chassis, so it could be a Sherman part. http://www.peachmountain.com/5Star/Tanks_Patton_Tanks_M7_SPGun.aspx The last photo shows the rear. Take a...

    Blogger: Military parents have no right to leave their kids orphaned

    This blog really ticked me off, I was gonna respond, but I read some of the responses posted...A few people beat me to it and did a better job of sorting out this jack***. Cheers

    Top soldier's farewell cost taxpayers $270,000

    $270,000 to say farewell to the finest CDS I've had to pleasure of serving under...not a problem in my opinion. The value of sending off Gen Hillier in style is well worth it! Cheers

    Role of Officer vs job of NCM [Merged]

    I guess I'll add my 2 cents  to the growing pile of change... I've seen good and bad examples of both Officers and NCM's. Unfortunately sometimes the bad examples from each Mess can tend to colour ones perceptions. As Vern mentioned the good officers are the ones that lead by example (i.e...

    For Those Frustrated with Vista (Free MEMORY trick!)

    WRT Live CDs I've seen pretty much any linux distro in Live CD format. If you don't like what you see with one, try another. It's great to see the different ideas/frontends that the Linux community offers.  A lot of the distros are available for FREE, and there is a great variety of software out...

    For Those Frustrated with Vista (Free MEMORY trick!)

    WRT the security "bandaids" and the other fixes yet to come, you better buy a stand alone hardrive because by the time they get them all, you'll need the storage! I'm a fan of Linux myself (Open SuSe 10.2 right now). It's amazing how much quicker things are when the machine doesn't have to go...

    For Those Frustrated with Vista (Free MEMORY trick!)

    I used the Beta 2 version of Vista, I haven't had a chance to use the full release. It seemed to be really cool looking, but the hardware requirements seemed to be excessive to say the least. I've seen servers with less RAM. Some of the controls they've added (i.e. the Apple commercial), get...

    Bias

    Every time I read another Ruxted article I'm impressed, but this one succinctly put into words what I have been thinking for quite some time about the way the media does it's business. I only wish that the MSM would take a few pointers from it.  Bravo, well done!
