    Bingo on the watch.
    That sucker will shine for quite a distance.

    Technicaly, as you said the face, however all things being equal, the watch annoys me the most. (It's just wrong to have that kind at any time.)

    OD, or black is fine.

    I respect this police officer very much professionally but he needs to go back to some basic riot control training. He's all alone with a crowd of hundreds of drunken Brits. Bad tactical move.

    Well, to be fair, the weapon will dirty up fairly well, but that shiney chrome will go on, and on.

    It's a competition and I'm nitpicking, but..it's part of my job to do so.

    Today was the 2008 graduation parade at the Royal Military College of Canada. More than 200 Officer-Cadets receive their commission and got promoted to the rank of 2nd Lieutenant.






    Lieutenant-General Natynczyk was the guest of honor for today's ceremony. LGen Natynczyk might be the next CDS...







    Can anyone ID those two planes please....not quite sure














    Believe me, he's a funny guy...his speech was boring at all!!





    French cadets in exchange for this winter semester....foreign cadets usually hold four of these flag on official parade.



    The 4th years receiving their commission...!!!



    I know this picture would have been better with a Canadian flag instead of this Yukon flag....






    Gun fired before the Feu de joie



    when more than 300 cadets do the Feu de joie, it's pretty impressive!!!

    Robotic soldier suit being made for the U.S. Army by Raytheon in Salt Lake City. The suit can multiply its wearer's strength and endurance as many as 20 times, with relatively little loss of agility, by sensing and almost instantly amplifying every movement the wearer makes.

    Iron Man anyone?
