Thanks for the info -- I don't have a ton of allotments or anything, it's under a hundred bucks per pay, so I'll have plenty to cover it.  I appreciate your answer, cheers!  :)

Just a quick question here, as this is my first pregnancy and all of this admin is confusing the hell out of me. With regards to payroll deductions, my clerk here told me that they would all be ceased as soon as I started on maternity/parental leave, so I had to make alternate arrangements to...

Very cute!  As long as the dog is properly trained, and kept healthy, you should have very little issues with the little one and the dog.  If you go on Youtube and type in "boxers and kids" you'll find some good stuff.  I babysit a 2 year-old once in awhile, and she pretty much just crawls onto...

Boxers are wonderful!  I have two rescued boxers at home -- they took a lot of behaviour training, as they were both badly abused, but I couldn't ask for better dogs.  Honestly, I'd never get anything but a boxer now.  A few things though -- even at 7 years old, my old one has a ton of energy. ...

Just a quick add-on -- a bunch of the new demand for ACS techs is due to the ACS trade taking over the ALSE (safety systems) duties.  The only reason I say this is because not all ACS techs are happy about it -- there's a possibility that you could end up in an ALSE shop, inspecting flight...

I'm aware of not all mold being toxic, I just mentioned the colour.  I know there are many ventilation issues in the pmq's, and I'm sure that the fan in the bathroom not being vented properly is the cause of this.  It's not on the ceiling, it's up inside the ceiling, so it's not a lack of...

It was in quotation marks because it's been almost three years, and this is the first I've heard about an inspection.  It was mostly to see if the roof was caving in, because we're one of a few Q's that hasn't gotten a new roof or windows this year.  It was rather underwhelming, and they didn't...

Same issues here -- we have black mold growing in the bathroom ceiling -- I only found it because the fan fell off the ceiling.  ::)  The bathrub is also rusted through, and I found that when they came in to re-caulk it after all the caulking cracked off, and they foudn this spot that had been...

Crew, yes...  Mechanics, no.  ;D

If anyone still wants to get in on them, Trenton's got 3 or 4 serials running throughout February.  -- The internet's spotty today, so I actually have to spend time on the Trenton homepage!!  ;D

;D  I'm hoping to stay on the legacy fleet (old Herc) for awhile, I love these old birds!! 

I'm just around the 5 foot mark, and I did more than fine at BMQ.  I'm definitely not built for speed and running, but I can ruck with the best of them, hahahaha,  I'm like a little pack mule. I didn't get to be a civilian flight attendant, because I'm under 5'2", so I joined the military...

Let's hope none exist, hahaha!  It's pretty ridiculous, I'm sure.  ;D

They said the bun, the single, or double braids were okay -- the only safety thing that we were told, was not to use bobby pins, as they became FOD pretty quickly.  When I'm working with tools or things that spin, I usually tuck my braids up under a ballcap anyway, makes me feel a little...

I was specifically told when I was on course that those were two things that were definitely not allowed -- the tucked french braid and the braid wound into a bun.  We were shown pictures right out of the regs, and told, "These are your options.  That's it." Yes, I've seen women doing the other...

I can't tell you why they don't use it anymore, but I've never seen a herc with it, and I'm pretty sure I've run across most of them in the past few years.  You're right, it did look pretty neat, there are tons of pictures up of them.  They all have the boring ol' grey now, I believe.  We've...

It's great until you discover an unknown anaphylactic allergic reaction to it somewhere in the mountains of Afghanistan, lol! People give me a funny look now at the MIR when I say "Malarone" as one of my allergies.  ;D

Well sonofa --  I miss the limit by 4mm.  No joke.  Laaaaaaaaaaame. ;D

I have seen women doing each of these, but if you check the dress regs, they're not in there.  All that's allowed to long hair, is a french braid, down the back, not extending past your armpit in length, 2 french braids, also worn down the back and not longer than your armpit height, or a bun --...

Triple Pig is still, well, a pig.  She doesn't do so well in Canada, quite the hangar queen, but we used her as SAR for awhile here.  It used to be that she was better overseas, but the time I spent over there earlier this year, we had non-stop issues -- three prop changes in the same week, FCU...
