When I joined, I gave my fealty to the Queen, her heirs and successors by swearing to her picture.  I have co-workers who say they swore fealty to the Canadian Flag.  Was this another option?  Does it vary by recruiting center?

I'm currently living in Edmonton shacks.  What are the shacks like in Pet?  I'll be posted there in Sept.

Has anybody from another signals trade OT'd to Comm Rsch?  I'm in ACISS-IST with a top secret clearance.  Would I end up re-doing a different QL3 for Comm Rsch?

Hello, I'm currently doing my QL3 in Kingston and they're asking me about my posting preference.  Are there any SigOps in Edmonton here?  Do all Edmonton Sigs get attached to 1 CMBG?  What is the work like (day-to-day and deployed) ? Can I rent single quarters at the base? Thank you, DC
