I'm nearly out of time! Buzzing, buzzing everywhere! I try to open my mouth to comment, or ask something, and it's Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
I feel as though I'm trapped within one of Shako's bee hives, but instead of bees buzzing, it's teenagers!
What do I do? How do I get these kids to stop buzzing? Ok, let's examine this logically...
The only ones buzzing are the members of my Seamanship Quiz team, with the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets. I suppose I could replace them... but they are the very best at what they do, that wouldn't be good.
Hmmm, they only buzz right before they answer a question... Is it simply to get my attention? To show that they are the one who is answering? Huh, maybe there is a way around this...
What about a machine capable of emitting a beeping sound in place of a buzz? Beeping is good. I like beeping. Oh, even better! It will have buttons and lights! Kids love buttons and lights! Ok, we have our solution.
This will be my last attempt for this wish before I have to leave for the summer. I'll be away about 7 weeks, in order to work with the cadets at a summer training centre. In short, my Seamanship Quiz team is amongst the best in our area, but always gets squeezed out of the title by a few points. What I would like to do is donate a buzzer system to the corps, which would give them a real edge over the others, who only get to use it at the tournament. What's more, it will give me the tools I need to start an in-corps tournament, and stimulate interest in our field. If you'd like to make a contribution, Stormy was kind enough to host a ChipIn page [ link ] But most importantly, the buzzing will go away. So much buzzing!
Bzzzzz...
Oh no, they're practicing again! Make it Stop! MAKE IT STOP! (more)

I don't log in here anymore but occasionally read through the forums to see if it's safe to come back ~ haha :-) I saw that the multis have hit you so thought I'd log in to give you some stars to counteract them ~ looks like you don't really need them now, bit I'll leave them anyway :-) Have a wonderful summer.
Here's my 5. Best wishes and good luck!
Gave ya a 5!
Sneaking in some stars for you, Peter. Have a fun summer!
I seen your calling in the forums, so here`s my help!
seenyou in forums so dropped by to send some added support!! good luck again and god bless!!!
Heard you called out the calvary to help :-)
Peter is someone I admire and respect. He is a wonderful person and excellent leader and example of his generation.
To those who would try to tear him down out of jealousy or hatred (sheer pettiness):
1) You will never be able to convince me of your outright lies.
2) All you do is make me want to smack you upside the head for sheer stupidity and spite.
3) Get over yourself. The world does not revolve around you.
4) The mark of a true leader is the ability to wade above the bullshit and still have those willing to follow them and walk away knowing they have done their best and remained true to themselves and their beliefs. Peter has those qualities so your efforts are FUTILE!

good luck
This wish is made by one member who has several accounts. There for I downvoted it. Its only obvious that this and several other accounts are made by the same person. I never downvote but its time to send this person a message that their actions will no longer be tolerated by the community!
You dumbass thats my own comment that I posted on all the multiple accounts and this is not one of them. Can't you at least make up your own? Anyone doubting that this person took my comment and is trying to decieve the community by using it can pm me and I will link you to the thread where I first posted my comment and what I intended to do. At least we know we can now add you to the list of Multis too!
best wishes :)
Will you show us video of the cadets using the buzzers after you win? I think that would be cool to see it in action!
I'm proud of you my son.
there's 5 for ya....good luck!!
You have my 5-- and I gave a ton of props for ya :)
Time to come clean!
You young man stole money from this site. The owner of this site SLB/Blue told everyone!
Here are my 5 stars as promised. Good luck!
5+ good luck
HERES OUR 5 HOPE IT HELPS
I am still here for ya..scotty
Good luck
Good luck, Peter!
I hope everyone will support you in this. The Cadet Movement in Canada and the USA are committed to providing a program that meets the needs and builds the skills of every young person who joins their ranks. Many are athletically inclined and for those youth there are many opportunities to excel... biathlon, gyn and sheerlegs competitions, drill with and without arms (rifles). For others there are music programs as most units have marching bands. Instruments and instruction are provided free of charge. For those who are intellectually inclined, the Seamanship Team provides a challenging and competitive way for them to excel.
It is my hope that we can help to provide the tools for Peter's team in the coming year, and in the future, as this buzzer system will last for many years, so they can rise to the top and experience success and satisfaction from this activity.
Remember, youth who are busy, working and learning and succeeding don't mug little old ladies!
This brings up an excellent point. In towns across the country, cadets provides a positive environemt for youth to develop. Our goal is to train productive members of society. What is more, in the case of these intellectual individuals, who often face ridicule and harassment in other areas of their lives, cadets offers a haven.
Good Luck Peter!
STOP BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZING.
Good luck Peter, it'd be good to see this finally win!
The Klingons have swooped in to support the Cadets! (We have our own Navy you know! Honor demanded it!)
