There are 11 J-models here in Trenton as of today, and I can't be entirely positive, but I believe that 4 H-models have been recently (within the last 1.5 years) retired.

Thanks for the info.  :)

I'm not positive, but oil testing was one of the things mentioned.  It's a good thing in terms of being home every evening, but bad in another = missing out on tours/TDs and such.

Someone I know is potentially being posted to ATESS in Trenton, and is curious about what AVN techs do there.  I know of lots of ACS, NDT, ATIS and some AVS techs there, but I've never spoken to an AVN who works/has worked there.  Any info?  Thanks a bunch, guys.  :)

Just proud to see that the good ol' Hercs are helping out, and that my hometown (Greenstone) is taking in lots of evacs as well.  =)  My mother was telling me that there's so much ash in the air they can't leave the windows open because it covers everything!

I'd recommend the Valhalla hotel in Thunder Bay -- I grew up a few hours north of there, and went to college there, so I've used a bunch of the hotels.  The Valhalla is good and clean and quiet.  It's also on the street with most of the restaurants on it.  Only downfall is that it's very near...

I'm not sure what you mean by the new jacket -- I just got my maternity DEU's a few months ago, and all I got was a wool cardigan and the heavy overcoat as far as 'jacket' type things go.  To get the old one, you'd have to find someone willing to give them up -- but as they were issuing them out...

I can't speak for other fleets, but on the Herc, you have to be both trades (QL5) qualified, and a Cpl.  People here are getting their 5's with 2 years in, so they're having to wait a year, year and a half before spec pay is even on the horizon.

Well, I found one -- apparently, there are a few prom-like floor-length dresses that are built to accommodate women who are big only in the belly -- when I asked the woman at Sears about it, she said that they had a lot of pregnant high school girls looking for prom dresses, so they had to bring...

Perfect!  Thank you so much for the quick response.

My favourite part of this post is 'vaguely remember'...  ;D One more question or two, hopefully this is the last of them.  My CoC has decided on me wearing civilian clothes to the dinner.  The selection of maternity dresses, are very very slim in this area.  Does it have to be floor length, or...

Hahaha, being a girl, I should love shopping -- but Trenton area is not the greatest for maternity stuff, unless I want the shirt that says, "I'm what happened in Vegas" with an arrow pointing to the belly.  ;D

Thanks very much for all the help, everyone.  Since I don't have appropriate civilian maternity wear -- only my wedding dress, and a bunch of big t-shirts and maternity jeans, I'll wear the DEUs with the blue shirt.  They got rid of the smock thing, which is nice, and hopefully it won't be...

So here's one I couldn't find an answer to anywhere, and my WO is confused about it as well.  I have a mess dinner to attend, and while it's not the fancy mess dress, the boys will all be wearing their blues, with the white dress shirts and bowties. I'm pregnant, and I have the maternity DEU's...

Zing!  But I remember not a year ago, when Winnipeg sent us a plane with 4 u/s brakes on it, with the spare parts on board and a message to have fun.  ;D  I don't think there's ever been a time when Winnipeg and Trenton didn't talk s**t about each other.  Besides, the 90's was 20-some years...

The pilot definitely told the newspeople that, so I''m not sure where the mistake happened.  But yes, you're absolutely right.  That plane did really well over there too, I miss working on it.

*headsmack*  Seriously, I have no idea why I didn't think of that in the first place.  Thank you so much!

Does anyone happen to know what number I can dial to reach the MP's in Trenton?  It's not a dire emergency, but it's something that can't wait until monday.  I tried the number listed on the mfrc page, but it sounds like it's hooked up to a fax machine, because it just squawked in my ear.  If I...

I did speak to my mata/pata clerk when this all began, but I was given some conflicting information, and the last three times I tried to go in there and speak to someone, the clerk's been on leave with no one to replace her, so I thought I would check to see if anyone knew here.  I will talk to...

Well that seems ridiculous.  Why can't they separate everything? When they ceased mess dues for when I deployed, my Canex plan kept running -- if they want to stop payment on everything, methinks maybe they should start telling people that they can't have a Canex plan if they're going to be on...
