    uptight and hungry ? Normal?

    Hey I have been trying to exact opposite - trying to gain weight. It seems impossible - I feel hungry, I go to eat, then suddenly I don't have the appetite! Its really frustrating :crybaby:. As for yourself, make sure to eat a good breakfast, it will give you the energy you need after those...

    Favourite War Movies

    Ah to be honest, I didn't even know there were that many Iwo Jima movies. But, I was talking about "Letters from Iwo Jima" - very moving!

    So You Want to be an officer, eh!

    One thing I've noticed on this forum is how much pride CF members have (which is usually a good thing). Once you offend anyone (knowingly or unknowing) on this forum, you will never earn back their respect back (clearly noticeable through my negative MP points), even after your apologize through...

    Michael O'Leary, you have officially become my idol on these forums. Always a voice of reason and justice! :salute:

    "So You Want To Be A Pilot" Merged Thread 2002 - 2018

    Did i say something wrong? ??? To avoid any confusion, I clearly stated "(from what I’ve read, it’s a long process, but worth it if you plan properly)" for your first quote. And, "(from what I’ve read)" for your second quote. But you are right, I should have mentioned basic military training...

    "So You Want To Be A Pilot" Merged Thread 2002 - 2018

    Jean, ROTP is part of the subsidized education plan in the CF. Meaning, the CF will subsidize your education in return for obligatory service (which you must finish so that you do not incur any financial problems) + regular service. As you mentioned, you can wait until your last year of...

    Subsidized Education - ROTP

    Thank you very much Otis, you were of great help, as was everyone else. One last question if you don't mind, if i wanted the second term (Jan 2010- April 2010) of my upcoming year to be subsidized, when would you say the deadline to submit my application be?

    Profs say students lack maturity, feel entitled

    Just my 2 cents. When I started first year I had a hard time keeping up with my colleagues, mostly because they were top international students – these students learned first year material in grade 10 and some in grade 11. Their program is very rigorous, especially compared to Canadian high...

    Subsidized Education - ROTP

    It was a comment, all you have to do is take it or leave it. Comment: "A statement (of fact or opinion), especially a remark that expresses a personal reaction or attitude." I wasn't trying to portray that i knew more then you, but rather, just stating my personal opinion. I hope this settles...

    Subsidized Education - ROTP

    :P Come on, lets be honest, I didn't ignore anyone's comments - neither yours or Wallace's. You know I took the comments/suggestions gladly but hated the added retaliation.

    Subsidized Education - ROTP

    I did look at the profile of all those who posted here, which is exactly why I stated that many of you are much older then I am (should have had added older/experienced). But never be ignorant to other people's (younger and older) comments. If you disagree with my comments, that is fine, if you...

    Subsidized Education - ROTP

    Even Wallace would agree that 30 years of experience and knowledge doesn’t equate to perfection. Never once did I say I didn’t respect his comments regarding the Canadian force. And all I did was write back two sentences defending myself, not retaliating! Guys/Gals, I know most of you are...
