    Thanks for all the input!  I am indeed planning to buy and i will be working in the Dockyard area.  The reason for proximity to a hospital is because my wife is an hospital pharmacist.

    Good day everyone,  i may have the opportunity to be posted to Victoria next summer (APS 15).  I was wondering if i could get a few ideas of nice neighbourhoods to live in.  10 to 30 mins drive to work, close to an hospital and high-school. Thanks in advance!

    I need advice for getting better at sprints

    Like any other quals you should not let it expire.  There are some extraordinary circumstances (sickness/injury) but this should be the exception.  In 29 years of service i have never had  a non current pt profile.  I don't feel one bit sorry for those 940 pers.

    Yes that's exactly it.  You start a pace that get tour hb at approx 70% of max effort, then every 2 minutes they increase the incline by 2%.  You continue until failure/you cannot do i anymore.  You are expected to also go all out on the force test.
