But that one is a little more complicated and I don't think people will understand how it works. hahaha

I hated salmon though. I love the mac and cheese from way back then and the meatballs aren't bad. Ham and potatoes isn't bad for breakfast.

I would never fight for this country.
Hell no.
Only if Canada were attacked. Canada should be out of Afghanistan, or, if they want to WIN in Afghanistan, use nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons.
Mark my words, all the Canadians dying in Afghanistan are for NOTHING.

Yah no kidding.
Anyway, my question is slightly off topic too, but can reservists get those veteran license plates as well?

So as long as your hair on your sides are not long and does not touch your ear or collar for the back, you're pretty much good to go. I have about 2 inches on the top and I cut my sides with a zero with the shaver.
If you can't bare cutting it, there is no real way around it.

You need to cut your hair; I do not see how your gas mask can make a good seal if your hair is too long and gets in the way. I had to shave my side burns
I remember getting my head shaved from some old man in some store in the wack where they sold everything. You had two choices: Either A or B, but they both looked the same?
ahahah

They sell those Freddychef (IMP) silver meal/dessert bags individually at Liquidation World in Richmond, saw them the other day 
And for haircut, the general rule of thumb (when I was in Air Cadets) was that if it sticks out when you squish some hair between 2 fingers (not your thumb) it needs to be cut. The other reason why they require short hair is because you don't want your hair getting caught in your weapon or someone grabbing you by the back of the head. Girls all have to gel it into a bun.

If you're worried about cutting your hair, some of the other shit you're likely to deal with will probably kill you. Go play chess or something.

| Not sure what you are training for.. the physical requirements are quite sad. If you have decent cardio (lets say can run a 8 min. mile) and have decent grip strength you are fine.
