Canadian Military Guys

[CFMopar]

I know there are a few on this board. Any of you done your PLQ? I'm coming to pet in a week to do my MOD 6 and was wondering if you guys had any pointers to make my life easier.

You're Canadian military?  Do you man the pea shooter or the tin foil battleship?

You're Canadian military?  Do you man the pea shooter or the tin foil battleship?

I hear the Canadian army bought a bunch of septic tanks. As soon as they figure out how to drive them, they're invading us.

I hear that they also just bought a bunch of French flags.  You know, in case they ever need to surrender.

Well a Mexican living in LA should know a thing or two about septic tanks !

Hey, what is with the disrespect of the Canadian Military!
They are the greatest people in the world as far as I'm concerned.
Ease up fellas please.

speaking of Mexicans...here's a true funny fact:

The Mexican Air Force is pissed off because the Mexican Navy just ordered 12 Su-27 fighters. Apparently upon delivery, the Navy will have more fighters, not too mention superior to the F5's the Air Force has.

Unfortunately, I did my PLQ when it was called a JLC (or CLC), twenty years ago....back in the RCA Battle School in Shilo! So there's not much info I can pass along. Other than don't give the staff any grief.

Go fuck yourself!

[Vainglory, Esq.]

Wow.  Guys, I was just messing around.  I thought the  would have indicated that.

I didn't mean any actual harm, and to the extent that anyone was offended, I'm sorry. 

[Forza]

Use your god damn head, just once. How do you think we would like people bashing our military? Not everything has to be a god damn joke with you and Ponch.

Please don't use the Good Lord's name in vain. Thanks.

I've already apologized, and it's not real bashing when it's obviously not meant to be serious.  Maybe it's time you learned to take a joke?

[Forza]

Trust me I can take a joke. What I don't get is how you two feel this is the topic to bash the Canadian army? He posted a question specifically for other member in the Canadian army about an upcoming exam. Maybe I can't take a joke because I don't see the humor in this

[Magnumcharger]

OK.....
A joke.
How about this....we limit our joking to non-political, non-religious topics?
And no more Canada bashing.
That way I don't start a rant that I'm sure will DEFINATELY offend.

[mikepmcs]

Does PLQ stand for Primary Leadership Qualification?

Is it a requirement to get advanced to MS/MCpl?

Is it a fitness module of some sort? 

I know I'm not helping but trying to learn some stuff.  The acronyms are throwing me a little.

I'm in Petawawa, just a couple doors down from the LEADERSHIP SCHOOL,mod 6 is that the field portion? I did the old JLC,the only advice is get lots of sleep now because you won't be getting any when you get here.(j/k) what unit are you serving with?

[Vainglory, Esq.]

OK.....
A joke.

We could do that, but come on, how boring would that be?  Besides, you don't need to worry about offending me.  I'm a big boy.  I can take it.  (Seriously, I get it a lot from some people on this board already.)  Plus, I can laugh at myself. 

I know I'm not a member of the Canadian army, and I haven't "earned the right" to bash it - but jokes are different from bashing.  One has a totally different purpose.  If I was bashing, I never would have apologized for offending (seriously, I don't have a problem with Canada, and my second post was more directed at France anyway).  But I'm not really ready to self-censor in order to protect the delicate sensibilities of some people on the board, even in spite of my lack of malicious intent.

As such, the jokes will continue.  Feel free to send some my way (I'm particularly susceptible to lawyer jokes, young-people jokes - I'm only 24 - and white guy jokes).

[Vainglory, Esq.]

Btw, I'm not sure if you saw this thread, but here's an example of a joke directed at another country (Venezuela) actually being taken as a joke.

http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,28519.msg311608.html#msg311608

The negative reaction in this thread frankly surprised me, since these usually go over okay.  That's why I apologized in the first place.

[Orange_Crush]

This has GOT to be the funniest thread on this board (better even than the back-waxing), not because of the jokes (I mean...c'mon...its Canada's military...making jokes about Canada's military is like shooting puppies in a barrel...no sport at all in it) but more because of the indignant reactions of some members.

Lord guys...its not like we're making fun of President Tim Horton or any of your national heroes like Celine Dion or Bryan Adams.

[Back N Black]

Just remember we did go to war with you guys and we burned the white house down!
so play nice

[SirNik73]

OK OK OK... no more fighting... what is the best way to stop fighting a make friends? Have a common enemy... So let's stop joking about Canada, and let's start telling jokes about France!


For your enjoyment!

The War Of 1812 Lyrics
Artist(Band):The Arrogant Worms

Oh, come back, proud Canadians
To before you had TV,
No hockey night in Canada,
There was no CBC (Oh, my God!).
In 1812, Madison was mad,
He was the president, you know
He thought he'd tell the British where they ought to go
He thought he'd invade Canada,
He thought that he was tough
Instead we went to Washington....
And burned down all his stuff!

And the White House burned, burned, burned,
And we're the one's that did it!
It burned, burned, burned,
While the president ran and cried.
It burned, burned, burned,
And things were very historical.
And the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies
Waa waa waah!
In the War of 1812!

Us hillbillies from Kentucky,
Dressed in green and red,
Left home to fight in Canada,
But they returned home dead
It's the only war the Yankees lost, except for Vietnam
And also the Alamo... and the Bay of... ham.
The loser was America,
The winner was ourselves,
So join right in and gloat about the War of 1812

And the White House burned, burned, burned,
And we're the one's that did it!
It burned, burned, burned,
While the president ran and cried.
It burned, burned, burned,
And things were very historical.
And the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies
Waa waa waah!
In the War of 1812!

In 1812, we were just sittin' around,
Mindin' our own business, puttin' crops into the ground.
We heard the soldiers coming and we didn't like that sound.
So we took a boat to Washington and burned it to the ground.

Oh... we... fired our guns, but the Yankees kept-a coming,
There wasn't quite as many as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and the Yankees started running,
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico, oh, oh....
They ran through the snow and they ran through the forest,
They ran through the bushes where the beavers wouldn't go.
They ran so fast, they forgot to take their culture,
Back to America, and Gulf and Texaco

So, if you go to Washington, its buildings clean and nice,
Bring a pack of matches, and we'll burn the White House twice!

And the White House burned, burned, burned,
But the Americans won't admit it
It burned, burned, burned,
It burned and burned and burned
It burned, burned, burned,
Now, I bet that made them mad
And the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies
Waa waa waah!
In the War of 1812

[Rack]

And also the Alamo...

"America" didn't lose at the Alamo. Texas lost at the Alamo. Texas was not part of the US at the time.


Just FYI


And Canadian beer sucks! (line from that movie with John Candy... forgot the name of it)

OK OK OK... no more fighting... what is the best way to stop fighting a make friends? Have a common enemy... So let's stop joking about Canada, and let's start telling jokes about France!

How about we DONT make jokes about France. Doesn't matter who the target is....it is infantile, mis-informed jingoistic BS.

[SirNik73]

I'll be sure to make every post form here on out mature, educated and completely free of any fun, humor or anything that might offend. Because showing emotion is foolish and being politically correct is what we all should aspire to.

So it's "fun" to belittle others? Your mother must be proud of you.

Anyone ever wonder why the largest country in the world doesn't need the largest army in the world?   

[Vainglory, Esq.]

The largest country in the world?  Uhhhh...you mean Russia?  (Seriously, dude, it's like twice as big as Canada, look it up.)

Let's just go ahead and assume that Canada's being half the size of the largest country is "close enough" to actually make it the largest.  Why, then, would it still not need the largest army?  How's this for a reason: with all its area, it's ranked only 34th in population, with a population one-tenth the size of its southern neighbor, which, incidentally, is only very slightly smaller in area.  Most of that land mass is as useless as a bucket of crap, and I don't see what it would have to do with any army.

Well, this probably didn't go as planned...

Man, i can't believe how ignorant you are....amazing for a college graduate studying law ! 

Canada was #2 to the USSR before the breakup in total land mass.....i'm sure we're alot bigger than Russia is now. 

One third of the worlds fresh water is in Canada. The second largest oil reserve in the world is in Alberta. Worthless land....i think not !

Get a life and grow the F**K up !
