Our submarines are currently not even capable of firing the torpedoes we have. British subs, and British fire control systems won't work with American torpedoes.

He'd be even more likely to win in that case, the US courts are notorious for frivolous lawsuits. You can sue anyone for anything there, thats why they have so many law schools. In any case, it was still not a smart thing for him to do.

Any court in this country, civil court cases are decided by a judge, not a jury, so it is not required to establish your case "beyond reasonable doubt," if you can convince a judge that your case has merit, and the law is on your side, the judge can decide for himself. He could win if he sued...

I never said what he did was smart, or that he should have disobeyed orders from a law enforcement officer. All I was getting at was that in most situations pepper spray could be considered excessive use of force. Maybe it was maybe it wasn't in this case, I don't know. But it's his right to...

The funny thing about this is that he could sue over this, and if he did he would probably win. In civil court it would be a fairly straightforward case to make, as pepper spray is almost always  argued to be an excessive use of force, same thing with tasers.

I got one from my recruiter, they'd probably give you one if you asked them nicely.

Uh oh, I thought it would be later than that, this is no good. My convocation is on the 27th of May  :-\

Military vessels are inherently expensive, because they must fulfill so many requirements, and submarines even more so, add to that there are very few places that can build them, and they are very expensive to maintain, you have a big problem from the taxpayers point of view. I would think they...

I think in my interview the Captain actually prefaced the question with "yes or no?" That being the case, I'm not sure they would be concerned if you said something else, they just want to know whether or not you would be a contentious objector, although it probably wouldn't help you if you say...

Have you tried the Virtual Advisor on the Forces.ca website? Perhaps it would be useful to you, perhaps not, but it only takes a few minutes, couldn't hurt right?

Yep, that was my suspicion from the beginning, that Daniel was her father, and somehow his memories or whatnot got passed on to her. Then when he disappeared, that was because John killed him, not because he wanted to leave. That was crazy that it was in her head the whole time though... I...

Well, that was a mindfrack... Kara's story, not surprising, Boomer's... just wow...

This thread makes me want to post the "Picard Facepalm" poster... lol

You can definitely run everyday without any ill effects, as long as you don't run so hard you hurt your muscles, ie shin splits or anything like that.

I also read the most efficient way to train is to do both strength training and cardio training everyday, just do different muscle groups each day so that you don't strain anything.

Sorry to double post, but FSTO posted while I was typing my previous. You guys talking about being to busy to take on extra responsibilities, as an MSE or CSE. Is that always the case, or just when you are in training, ie before you pass your boards and get promoted to Lt.(N)?

I don't think he was trying to be impatient, just trying to get back on topic after my pestering him. He probably just gets tired of me asking him so many questions, at school, on msn, and now here too. So if anything its my fault, and I'll try not to interject so much.

Good to hear you are staying navy, hopefully I'll see you in Esquimalt this summer!

Or you could join the Army :P Hehe, just kidding, I wouldn't mind knowing this myself. Future MSE (hopefully) here.
