I won the PAO spot last year. I think I saw the message around mid-May, but of course every year is slightly different. Good luck. :)

Got my offer today. Good luck all.

Can't find a thing (other than the standard 500 km). I must have dreamt it.

I thought I saw an email a fairly recently that said there will be new min driving distances when using PMV for travel (such as to attend a course). I can't find anything now and fear I may have dreamt it. I thought the distances were changing to 800 km the first day and 500 km per day after...

Thank you for the reply. I have tried my OR and a few other people in the unit who were trying to help, but no luck. As for the personal/professional statement...this has no connection to my occupation. I have been invited as a member of RCAF and because my great-uncle was one of the airmen...

I am wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction? I am a Reg Force member and have been invited to France, on a personal and professional level, to attend the unveiling of a D-Day-related monument. I assume, to spite the budget cuts, the CAF will be sending members overseas to...

I did a search and couldn't find anything recent (or outside of recruiting), so I'll ask the question see what happens... To the best of my knowledge, the tattoo policy states no new tattoos above the collar or below the cuffs. A co-worker says she saw a (she thinks) CANFORGEN last year saying...

I can't help you with a good contractor, but I can tell you to avoid Handyman home services at all costs. We hired them to do fairly extensive reno's on our place. Not only was the work sub-par, they didn't complete the job and we ended up having to hire someone else and pay them $1200 to finish...

I can only speak for BMQ on this. I graduated from St Jean about a month ago and we were allowed leave on weekends to go home or just generally leave the base after the 4th week. That's as long as your platoon behaved itself of course. Cheers :cdn:

One of my favourties from one of my MCpls early in our course... "Stop looking at me! I have a wife and two kids, I don't need you in my life!" :cdn:

I'm on BMQ right now (8th week) and one of the guys just got written up for using creatine. Especially bad since it was found during the Div Cmdr's inspection by the RSM. I'm not sure if it's a school rule or just our staff, but it was clearly stated at the beginning of my course that NO...

Hi Izzie, From what I understand there are some things (specific type of lock for example) that can only be purchased at Canex. I'm sure there are other places, but Canadian Tire or Walmart aren't one of them. I'm planning to have to spend some money on that sort of thing, although I've...

i have very bad vision but I didn't get a letter to be filled out. I'm going Reg's though so maybe that makes a difference? I'm easily a V4 but that's all my trade requires. Sorry, no as to why you're having to do extra steps, but if you're really curious, call the CFRC back and ask.

Were you told a particular reason for having you go to your own eye doctor for a second test? Or did they just hand you a form?

As a point of interest, Queen Elizabeth II is the only female member of the royal family to serve in the military. She joined the  Auxiliary Territorial Service in 1945 as a driver. My grandmother actually served with her and from how she tells it, it was more of a pain in the butt than...
