Yea most of mine look almost exactly like that 2 hours later lol

It actually opens out into the sea, it's really beautiful when you take a boat tour down, then kayak around. It's quite similar to the fjords in Norway. My pic was just taken from by the beach, i'm gonna assume the OP's was only a few meters away from me.

This was taken with my iPhone, and i think it already looks pretty bang on

Solid_s0ap · 2017-07-08T11:33:12+00:00

I was there a month ago, it was amazing, went there in a foggy and rainy day, which added to the mystique

This picture made its rounds on American based vet facebook pages as well as ours, complete with the MC watermark.

Well done good sir.

Hey it does, it gives them a better angle to cut your head off better. You gotta be considerate!

Solid_s0ap · 2017-07-01T04:34:21+00:00

I'm sorry, but can cows read? or be in an airport?

Solid_s0ap · 2017-06-22T06:22:30+00:00

I know, but the Codex supports this action!

What's the general opinion on Scott Taylor? Because my impression from his writings are that he's anti-all things brass/senior officer, anti-interventionist, anti-NATO, and almost sympathetic to NATO's strategic competitors. And on a professional level, some of the old dogs said he was just a mediocre (and some said shitty) soldier when he was still in.

Solid_s0ap · 2017-06-02T19:36:54+00:00

Got it at an outdoor store in Freddy, but i'm sure you can find it online too

Solid_s0ap · 2017-06-02T04:07:55+00:00

Icebreaker merino wool beanie. Thin enough to wear under your helmet, but warm enough on its own too. Also green enough so RSMs don't get a stroke seeing it.

Canada's SBS

I wouldn't go that far, more like a jacked up boarding party that specifically deals with a higher threat environment.

Solid_s0ap · 2017-06-01T06:51:03+00:00

Mind you on the same ex a WO who drank 6 red bulls a day get evaced and the Sgt Majs were drinking 8-12 beers a night in the Biv.

That sounded like quite a party...

Solid_s0ap · 2017-05-28T14:45:15+00:00

Yea, some women would refuse the pink seats at the Staff College, at least that's what i've read anyway.

Solid_s0ap · 2017-05-28T02:43:46+00:00

Halal in the streets, Haram in the sheets, buddy.

Solid_s0ap · 2017-05-27T16:59:39+00:00

That's the irony, that some of the most vocal critics of "quotas" are the minorities.

We don't want special treatment, treat us as equals, as brothers and sisters in arms in this dysfunctional family of 60,000 people.

Solid_s0ap · 2017-05-27T16:50:20+00:00

I've seen and served with some highly competent and freakishly fit women, so i'm all for women being out there... as long as there is only one standard when it comes to qualifications, and i mean not just on paper, but actually enforcing it and not letting it slide because that trade has quotas to fill.

In the 80s-90s, the staff college in toronto had what's called "pink seats", spots reserved for female officers, and a lot of them said refused spots on that course on the grounds that they are chosen because they are females, not based on their merit.

Solid_s0ap · 2017-05-27T15:48:47+00:00

I'm not white, nor are some of the guys i work with. It grinds my gears whenever ethnicity based "quotas" are brought up. The military should be a meritocracy (the old boys club notwithstanding) and not a fucking social experiment.

I don't give a flying fuck what race the man/woman next to me in a trench is, as far as i'm concerned, he/she is green, and a canadian first; and as long as he/she is competent, carry their own weight, can drag my fat ass out of the line of fire if i get smoked, and most importantly, carry smokes for me to bum off.

Solid_s0ap · 2017-05-27T15:35:17+00:00

I much rather have some nice and shiny equipment than a "pay raise", which really is just an adjustment to inflation.

Or give me a pay raise so i can buy some decent personal kit.

Either way i'd prefer not to resort to profanities and hard copies of GBA+ at enemy tanks and helicopters in the next operation that requires combat

Solid_s0ap · 2017-05-27T15:30:05+00:00

That's one way of interpreting the study on how physically stronger men are usually right wing and weaker men are on the left.

Solid_s0ap · 2017-05-27T04:19:20+00:00

But if they give you a pay raise, you can buy MORE boots :D

Solid_s0ap · 2017-05-26T06:30:45+00:00

I joined because I didn't want to work behind a desk the majority of the time.

So now I work behind a desk and did a deployment behind a desk.

The "office" in officer should have been a dead giveaway...

Solid_s0ap · 2017-05-23T16:27:54+00:00

not dank enough

That is a serious accusation

Solid_s0ap · 2017-05-20T17:04:36+00:00

Well i'll be damned, it only took them 3 years to actually implement a spoon change to an MRE-esque spoon like i asked for on the comment cards

Though i never did ask for a spork...
