Being a staff cadet was an amazing leadership experience. Im positive I'm a far better leader today because of it, and was far more comfortable on PLQ and as a young leader than most of my peers. And that was because of having been a staff cadet three years in a row. Cadets aren't held to the...

While your point about danger pay may or may not be right, the rest of Bomb Disposal Bob's post was pretty bang on. He made an especially good point about not going just for the pay, but for the job. Cut him some slack.

I'm not a Geo Tech yet, but I dont think youll find the course anyless demanding than ATIS or WFE Tech. As well, the Geo Tech course is run every fall, and as all the OT's were just given out for Geo Tech I cant imagine any spots are availabe. But a BPSO could always verify that for sure. Any...

There are 41000 soldiers in Ft Hood. Works out to approx 48 suicides per 100 000. The US National average is at 12 per 100 000.

Site:army.ca using google is the only way I search Army.ca now. Ive never effectively been able to use the on site search function; but with google I always find what Im looking for. Highly recommend it to everyone.

Anyone on the course right now? Id love to talk to someone.. I have lots of questions about PT timings, lockers, shower facilities. Im trying to figure out where to rent, and how I will work with a commute and all the stuff I may have to bring. Anything will help. Thanks.

Sorry to hear; what did you apply for?

I rip the tags out and have been wearing the same one for 5 years... But I think between 6 3/4 to a 7.

Im OTing from Black Hat to a Green Hat. Ive ordered a new beret from Logisitiks, but the last beret I got from them looked like it had about 5 pounds of extra wool to shed.. and that was less than a year ago. I tried to buy one at Canex, but they are on backorder, leaving only 7 3/4, and other...

Every year my wife gets to claim $150 for bras. If she can claim bras, I should be able to claim boot. As no two breasts are a like, no two feet are a like, and these Double D feet of mine dont fit well in the army issued boots

Appreciate the links and the help! Answers my question. Not a big deal, either way!

Ill ask my question in this already started post instead of starting my own: I possibly will be going on IR to Ottawa this summer. I have a military service spouse who will not be getting posted and will be staying in Petawawa. I was told today that there are housing restrictions for IR. IE, I...

Has anybody ever successfully ported a mortgage? Seems more of a gimmick to me.

Ya, its definitely hard to read. Try posting it almost like the points of a memo, and remember the ABC's. Accurate, Brief and Clear.

I usually hate Call of Duty, but this trailer is really catchy. Cant wait to see what the multiplayer looks like.

Were you in the CF for both? I assume you are in for one of them..

I decided to write a timeline guide for anyone looking to OT via AVOTP. I had a lot of help with my OT and figure I should pass on my knowledge. Everything written is from my perspective as a Cpl/MCpl, so this won’t apply as much to the other OT programs. As well, some things may be different...

Looking to talkto anyone who is going on the QL3/5 Geo Tech course at Algonquin this fall. I will be on the course and wanna compare notes and get to know anyone who is going. Thanks

She is set to release on 23 June 13. What a complete waste of time and effort to pin a 2 hour AWOL charge on someone on their way out, regardless of the circumstances.

Maybe not exactly what you are looking for, but have you though about volunteering with cadets or joining the CIC? I realize you said you cant join the reserves, but maybe the cadet commitment would be more palpable. I noticed you said you have a family. I'm not sure how old, but it could be an...
