My vote is for the Grohman knife  http://www.navy2010giftware.com/en/catalog/seamans_knife.html  that was mentioned before.  They're far better than the CF replacement for them and that's an excellent price.

Why don't they bury a virus into the feed, it's easy enough to filter out if you know it's there.  Minimal processing power would be required and the upgrades wouldn't take more than a few minutes while they're being serviced.

Before I went to basic (just over a year ago) a really good friend who's a retired captain told me "Don't ever forget it's a game." Basic training gives you the most rudimentary skills, and teaches you to maximize your ability to operate under an enduring, moderate level of stress. Make friends...

The last guy is the student who's in charge.  If you're gonna be second last, the only excuse is that you're helping someone else get their s**t together so They can make the timing too.  If you're first, then you left everyone else to hang, and you suck.

We did a lot of research on the history of the construction of the road, as well as Operation Medusa.  It went as far as our course warrant having Major Gasparatto come and spend a morning with us having a q&a session.  It's been good to talk to several people involved in the planning and...

Student "No, the other sergeant said we didn't have to show up until nine."    >:( Sergeant "If you have all this time in the morning, it's a full kit layout inspection." Course Senior "So does that include, like, the dresser too?"    ::)

"I've been scheduled to go for my IAP/BOTP at St. Jean for April 10th and I'm trying to get everything together that I need to take.  The joining instructions say that it's OK to bring a laptop (as long as it's not out during training hours), but the MCC at my CFRC said that it might be safer to...

When I was in BMQ one of the courses that started later was 10 weeks instead of 13.  They worked later, and didn't have hardly any time on weekends.  And that was assuming that they didn't mess up and get extra inspections or whatever.

Grip strength isn't too tough to pass, as long as you have two good hands/arms.  It's a combined total from both hands, and they take the higher of two tries each side.  There was only one person in my platoon who made passed the test with one hand, but nobody failed it. The stress ball that was...
