Stretch your back out today and take a sauna or whirlpool/jacuzzi/bath. It's likely just a sore muscle and nothing more serious.

I cant believe the troops are using their own cash to buy kit via mail order. Per several other sites I frequent, American and Canadian soldiers both make a habit of using non-standard gear. The mountain climbing/outdoors companies are far faster at adopting new items (like Gore-Tex in the 80s, and...

I believe that includes all branches (Navy SEALs, Air Force Combat Controlers/Parajumpers, Army Special Forces (green berets), Delta Force, and even the Rangers).

When I finished I was coughing something fierce and noticed some blood in it. The next day I couldn't talk at all and my throat was beyond sour. Took the day off work and slep...

Long, but very amusing. ---------------------------------------------------------- THE COLLEGE THEME PAPER: HE VS. SHE Remember the book "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus"? Well, here's a prime example offered by an English professor at an American University. "Today we will ex...

I run in a pair of New Balance shoes. They cost $70 CDN, so around 30GBP. They work great, and I just buy a new pair after a few hundred miles on them.

Justin, have you spoken to a recruiter about colour blindness? I called them about vision issues before (I'm short sighted) and they had me fax over a copy of my prescription that they then had a medical officer look at. They said nothing about colour blindness.
