    The Man Code

    oh man, you should have seen the guys screaming in the streets when they put urinals in the new arena in Wpg. instead of a trough. Some guy's wife opened the door and took a picture of him pissing in the trough for the last time at the final game in the old arena. It was pretty funny. I loved...

    Those are possibly the two best cartoons there have ever been. Yup, now I've decided, they are. We should burn all of this anime garbage and bring back rockey & bullwinkle and the pink panther. Does anyone else remember a cartoon, I think it was japanese, with someone called Astroman?

    Are musicians soldiers or not?

    There's a man in the RWR band who joined at like 13 by lying about his age a long long time ago. He had to retire awhile ago at WO. He's the only volunteer in the band who gets to wear the uniform. He also got an honourary promotion to MWO a few years after he retired. Bob

    Are musicians soldiers or not?

    As far as I know, many PRes bands have limited paid positions and many people volunteer in the band in order to have a quality band without having to find money for more paid members. They are not Reservists, they just go to the band practices. I know, in the Royal Wpg. Rifles, they don't wear...

    Need to Interview a Medic for School

    Ok, I've decided to change my project to Medic, partially because of the lack of response (no offence to any medics out there), but also because my teacher seems to be more interested in that and thats always good for a few marks. ;D Any takers? Same deal as before, just 7 or 8 questions on...

    Need to Interview a Medic for School

    Are there any Reg Force medical officers on this board, preferably Army, who would be willing to answer a few questions for an interview I have to do for school? There are only about 7 or 8 questions and it shouldn't take too long. They would be along the lines of: What got you interested in...

    Canadian Battle Honours

    Well, if you'd take a look at my profile, I was 4 when Dieppe was on TV and I probably wasn't born yet when "Billy Bishop Goes to War" was out. So, I apologise but, there's not all that much I can do about it.

    Canadian Battle Honours

    I do believe that Michael Dorosh's site www.canadiansoldiers.com lists several Canadian war movies, so they do exist, you just aren't looking hard enough. And I'll let others, more informed in these matters, discuss the rest of your post

    Promotions in the CAF [Merged]

    Most of the people I was talking about are fluent. They've been speaking French since they were 5 and use it for 7 to 8 hours out of 8 during the day. Some of them speak French better than English, myself included. There's about 60 000 people in MB who speak French as a second language if that...

    You've obviously never been to Manitoba. Something like 50 000 people here have French as their first language and almost all of them speak English too. I'm in a French Immersion high school in Winnipeg with 550 kids and there are about 7 other schools like it in town. Everyone at these schools...
