imperial los perals in Canucn. 400 bucks for a 3 star all inclusive, with free shuttle to downtown bars. FYI they cut you off at 11pm, so ask the bartender for a few extra beers to put in your fridge for the lady friends after hours. Great hotel, with friendly staff, pool, beach, and free sailing pm...

[quote="w squared"]I didn't forget about anything, Hollywood. Two years in the reserves is a valuable experience, and I would not trivialize it. However, if it did indeed make you into a paragon of military knowledge and wisdom, then you'd probably be able to skip right over all that annoying BOTC a...

A bit of defensivness perhaps, but mostly expressions of frustration with the paternalistic and condescending attitudes of some within the reg force. Too many are too quick to believe their own bullshift about their own superiority, and therefore, falsely believe all their ideas and methods are bet...

While those individuals do hold a comission and thus are technically "salute-able", many of them make officer cadets seem like squared-away paragons of military virtue and knowledge. Ok...who's confused? Officer Cadet or OCDT. is a rank held by Off...

well as far as I know to be an Officer. one has to be commissioned. On every base ive been on a sergent major and CWO have been NCO’s… A sergent major sometimes will tell a capt. to get his hair cut, but in all fairness they still salute an officer. I see by your picture, you have a marine avatar, b...

To defend myself, I actually dont have cable, just watch episodes of the Office on myspace.com ... but CNN is on 24/7 at my work, and I happen to glance over once in a while. I get CBC for free, so I can watch the leafs games for free sat. night.

Anyways im sure to get a few leaf bashes now.

Yeah, it seemed to me every single NCO recruiter eat paint chips as a child. As well on IAP and BOTC I could not believe the "talent" of some of the future CF pilots, and in general other Officers.
