Well, I read it on the Internet, so clearly it stays in my system for 2-30 days.....
As opposed to say, the saliva tests that will be issued to the Police Forces here, which focus on whether or not you are intoxicated at the moment of testing, like, say, alcohol.

The same people (or their ilk) who thought that the world would end as a result of a host of things, including: unification, women serving on ships and in the combat arms, homosexuals serving in the military at all etc, and also thought that drinking during the day, strippers in the mess at...
Politics is decidedly odd here....

The real problem is our insistence on moving 20% of the Force every year. We need to revise our HR model and develop career patterns that only invoke mobility when it is essential to either the military need or the professional development of the member. I would argue that you can create a...
1 CMBG is conducting a military Poker Run on 6-7 Sep to raise funds for Valour Place. Any 1 CMBG member who donates $40 will be permitted to take part (less those teaching on a course or in the field). Personnel from Shilo will granted an additional 2 days of Community Leave in order to...

The big storm hit DC on Friday / Saturday, and the US Government has been closed for business since. In fairness, we are in the middle of another big storm with 12-15 inches and blowing snow, on top of the 30...
I have just returned from the 60th Annual General Meeting of the PPCLI Association in Calgary. It was a thoroughly successful and enjoyable event. Of 800-odd paid up members, over 400 attended - aided no doubt by the attendance of both Lady Patricia and Mme Clarkson, as they conducted a...
The results are in, and the Aggregate Champions are:
Major Unit - 1 Svc Bn
Minor Unit - 1 Fd Amb.
Overall it was very successful, and a lot of fun was had by participants spectators, and families alike.
My father in law left my wife a rifle when he passed away, and I am now in the process of restoring it - and have no experience with this whatsoever, so I have a few questions.
The markings on the rifle say that it is a No4 MK1 ROF (F)F T A 1943 AK 2580.
My father in law appears to have...
And here I am at:
Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -3.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.69
And I thought I was more liberal than that.....
Brian Tobin, currently working for Belinda's Dad, has managed to avoid most of the taint of the last few years, albeit solely by virtue of havving retired again. I would be shocked if there weren't some in the party that are working on / hoping for his return

I live in a turn of the century townhouse in the Beach in Toronto. I rent, but the landlord is more than happy to pay for materials (and the odd tool that I slip in) in order to get work done around the house. We have been in th house since 2001, and it looks like we will be here for at...
Sir Ernest Rutherford, President of the Royal Academy, and recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics, related the following story:
Some time ago I received a call from a colleague. He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physics question, while the student claimed a perfect...
