*snort*  I'm sure that would go over really well!  ;D  I'll stick to fixing Hercs, hahahaha.

What, none of the old, "So one day I was doing an A+B on the PRI-SAR and this MOCC van comes rolling out to tell me we needed a PRI and a CON 10 before it could launch..."? Hahaha, I don't think I could even do it.  There are so many acronyms I still don't know, it boggles my mind! If I can...

Hehehehe, I've been making notes all night.  I'm more worried that every 12 year old in the gym will be taller than me!  ;D  It should go fine, I'm sure, just pre-"speech" jitters.

Thanks for the props, that definitely helps.  The airplane IS pretty cool... I thought I was going to hate it, but I ended up loving the big ol' flying dump truck, so I'm sure i can talk their little ears off about that, haha.  And basic, yes, there were lots of fun times there, too.  I've...

I do remember seeing the little postcard-sized fact sheets kicking around somewhere, so there must be some other stuff somewhere, I'll be poking around next shift, haha.  Besides, if I remember being a kid correctly, lots of times the free stuff was way cooler than the chick in camo who came to...

For sure, no worries.  I was responding to gwp as well, not you, hehe.  Cheers.

I know I'm not a recruiter, hence why I stated that in a previous reply to this topic.  I was asked to come and speak, I won't be bringing enrollment forms with me, that's not my job!  The souvenir thing is just because I know when I was young, (okay, even now) I loved getting pens and stickers...

I've seen a few people get in trouble for Facebook pictures of them at work, etc, so I'm careful about that stuff for sure.  I do have a few nice pictures of Hercs and Antonovs taking off that were taken well outside the fence though, so I might bring those in. Thanks for all of your help. 

Thank you for the info, I'll be driving to Ottawa to catch my plane anyway, so I can always stop in Kingston on my way through, I'll have to call them up and see what they've got handy.  I know the cadets here over the summer loved the wristbands and stickers anyway. Thank you, I'll keep all of...

That's what I figured, as far as the OPSEC stuff.  I'm not in on a lot of stuff anyway, being still very new, but I can talk about the Herc a bit, and what being an AVN is all about.  And Maple Flag in Cold Lake, hahaha. There are a ton of pictures from Trenton on the airforce.gc.ca website I...

Oh my goodness, I'm not going to try and recruit the kids, hahaha, just an info session about what stuff they might be able to look at in the future, and how it's not all Full Metal Jacket, haha.

Hey all...  I'm a Pte in the Reg force, working in Trenton as an AVN tech.  I'm going home on my LTA in a couple of weeks, and I mentioned to the CO of my old Sqn that I was coming for a visit, and she was pretty happy to have me come in and speak to the cadets.  I wasn't a cadet, but I...

And make sure they tell you the correct wages you'll be getting AFTER deductions...  Sometimes it's less than you think.

PSHHH, flaring is a sign of weakness! (just kidding)  >:D I have almost 50 civvie jumps, from Skydive Toronto about 35 mins out of Borden.  I started packing chutes there on the weekend to fund the habit, haha, and then got hooked.

No, you don't have to, but what's the point of getting an education, using it for 5 years, and then quitting the forces, and having to do the course all over again civvie side?

Nope, any courses now are all the shortened ones.  Ours was an in-between, and it was the second last one that Transport Canada recognized.  Any course since Feb 2008 is now the shorter one, and no longer a college equivalent.  Besides, it's not exactly an honorable thing to be using the CF just...

Call Transport Canada and ask if the CFSATE AVN course counts anymore.  I was on the second last course that counted as a college equivalent.

They are in the common room here, not my room.  We're authorized to use them in there.

That's what I'm trying to tell you.  That CFAO came out awhile ago, and no one has been informed that the 3 month grace period has put into place.  If they were going to put someone back on rations, wouldn't they need to warn them first?  Also, why have people who arrived here after I did, not...

Exactly! Add a toaster oven to that and I'd be more than fine.  I could eat better, healthier, and cheaper than at the mess.  I don't care if the mess is 'convenient', it's not worth it for me.
