Im stationed at 4 Wing.  There is an Air Reserve Flight here and a number of air support MOCs are represented in the unit.  A substancial portion of the members are ex-military and are carrying their skills over after retiring from the reg force.  They work in the reg force units supplementing...

Koss Practice these sample tests, study on what you find hard, repeat the tests until your comfortable, and try the CFAT again.   Practice and get help on what you find difficult...

Che states that if there were ETs, then they are so far away that they never could find/reach us anyway. In another dismal posibility, there is no time travel either.   If the human or ET civilization were to expand and flourish in the future, the fact they have not contacted us or shown...

Existance This may depend on your unit and appropriate CFAOs. Inside a building (or not wearing headdress), one does not salute.   If you're about to pass an officer in the hallways at the beginning of the day or first meeting, you may check arms and give a "Good morning Sir" as you walk...

Sorta like the answer is 42 however we don't know what the question is.  Consider the building blocks of matter; the electron, the proton, and the neutron.  The distances between the electron and the atomic nucleus is devastatingly vast.  One could speculate that stuff, like my bank account, my...

If entering the military, one has to expect that courses, taskings and deployments will take the member from the familiy from time to time.  My wife and I balance the separation woes with the ability to save money.  She was accepting but unhappy with my recent tour.  We were able to pack away a...

Practicing on your own time might help to improve your skills and confidence.  For a medals parade, some of my section got together for a few beers and practiced various drills.  It helped.

The stash of SigOps is often lengendary.  I've heard stories of magic, fire, women and gold.  Usually something catches fire. On the 'net, I found these homebuilts: http://www.astrosurf.org/lombry/qsl-radials.htm http://www.g3ejs.com/files/antennas/2tuner.pdf...

So what you are saying its sort of a magic hand in that regard?

You all are crazy.    >:( I've taken the liberty of drawing a circle around our cluster of galaxies.  These galaxies are ours. The galaxies beyond this galactic border are "to be conquered" or "enslaved" or "food".  So therefore, we are now at war and its prudent for Mr. Hellyer to proceed on...

From my perspective, the basic human elements (the basics of life, plus love, hate, fear and greed) provide the motivations for what we do individually.  In a chaotic pre-historic environment, this factured heavily.  Since the dawning of civilization, the rule of law whether its was found in a...

You are right Radop.  The paragraph quoted refers to RF radiation patterns and suspended radio systems as Kirkhill speculated.  Obstacles and anything that would interfere with a laser's beam path would reduce signal quality or stop it entirely. The problem with communication lasers is how...

Laser line of sight is different than RF line of sight.   The laser transmitter produces a relatively tight beam that must strike the receiving detector with sufficient intensity for optimum reception in a straight or reflected line.   RF line of sight generally indicates the ability of the...

This is something I picked up in China.  Eat while you drink. Westerners at a bar will sit down (or whatever) and drink.  They'll drink and drink until they get drunk and that can take minutes depending on the ferocity. I noticed in China alot of drinkers are able to put back a massive amount...

Those packets of Tim Horton's coffee adds a nice touch to the packages. While on tour, I received a box from the MFRC Cold Lake.  They included several practical odds and ends, the Tim Horton's coffee, and a signed Canada Day card from my unit.  Freaking excellent box.  It was surprisingly...

Paracowboy We all at army.ca still love you!  :-*

Theres alot of exaggerated statements about the CF.  Why compare the entire CF, land, sea , and air, with the US Marines? Why not the US Army with the CF, or the USAF with the Air command, or the IDF with the maritime command?  Its like (thanks Paracowboy, this word is still leaking into my...

Those that have gone through BMQ, been on taskings or deployments, have acquired enough experience/conditioning to think BMQ is a piece of cake.   For a civilian going through a BMQ and experiencing the military for the first time can find it a drastic shock.   The recruits that get over the...

It seems theres alot of activity around UUVs.  I had a chance to speak with an Environment Canada engineer who is studing the arctic ice shelf using underwater sensors to monitor ocean currents.  From his experience, UUVs have a multitude of applications but are primarily limited by their power...

I'm not a technical assessor but have some familiarity with the process. The technical assessors will evaluate the education and experience of applicants with a post-secondary background.  They will look at the the diploma, the program content, the school (whether it is a recognized school)...
