Uh, maybe we should check how to use help? Don't want us using it wrong or something!

Then they're like...double...worst terrorists...or something.

At any rate, I don't see the need for help from a practical standpoint. There are mines, and we have to sweep em. Simple as that.

Mmmhmm. Well, lucky for all you nay-sayers, the Help function doesn't work. Whenever you click on it, that little blue circle thing appears for a second and then nuthin'. I'll tell you this much: this is what makes the Canadian Military the best. See, we train on all this broken junk, so that when it comes to the real deal we're just that much better than everyone else because we have to figure out to survive on garbage. We're like that football team in that bank commercial.

But Pvt. Dr. Snark is right. It's time we get back to minesweepin'.

Alright. I've got my helmet. Go on ahead. You realize the Canadian Beaver is a viscous animal, right? It's a vengeful and cruel spirit. We worship it so that it doesn't dam every river in the country, bringing about floods of Biblical proportions.







My god, that was incredible.

Looks like the Beaver spirit decided to take pity on you after all. Anyways, you're all getting real eager. Which is great. But rather then let you all just start wandering on the grid, why don't the rest of you take a moment and check out its current state. If you still want to go ahead with your proposed move, then have at it. But I figured some of you might want to lay down some flags.

Sir! As an absolutely not-in-disguise-American-mole, I propose we CARPET BOMB THE EVER-LOVIhem.

I propose that we plant the flag of AmeriCanadian freedom in the second-from-the-bottom row, leftmost column! It is my estimation that this should free the other two boxes touching the "1" to the right of that area for IMMEDIATE CLEARANCE!

I further propose that the square to the upper-left of the "2" touching the initially-flagged territory itself be flagged!

Well, well, well. I'm mighty proud of you all. You've accomplished stage 1 of the Canadian Military's training. Don't get too cocky. Things are about to get real. But to all of you soldiers who participated in this training, you've earned your commendations. Now, I'm going to get the next mine grid set up. Until then, at ease, soldiers.

I wish to offer, as a native... Al...bertian? My formal apologies for failing to implement regulation S.C. 2012, c. 12(b) in reasonable haste!

As should be clear, this dictates that in case of military training, taking place at a marked military base or training exercise enclosure, in addition to the beloved argent and gules :canada:, ANY training company must at all times, excluding inclement weather in the case of a small (defined in S.C. 1954 c. 2(c)) base, fly the regimental or company colors!

It shall not happen again, SIR!

BRING OUT THE COLORS!

Cpl. Bacter, that poo poo is beautiful. I take back anything cruel, mean, or unnecessary that I've ever said about Albertans. Being a colder Texas isn't the worst thing in the world. It's still weird that Fort McMurray is basically Mordor, but hey, I won't judge.

But it's time to get back in the saddle. We completed Stage 1 training with only 3 casualties. Good job! Let's try and keep this next stage relatively painless, okay? Who's up?
