Welcome aboard, Matt. Look forward to meeting you (and everyone else). Steve :cdn:

Thank you very much, owa. T minus 3 days (2 for me as I am flying out on Saturday) ;D

Keep on them Trish.  I am sure it will be coming and you will not miss NOAB with us. I just received the phone call from the RC to go and pick up my letter and documents.  I am going to do that this afternoon.  Also told her that a Saturday flight would be better for me. Have a great day...

Thank you for sharing that.  We will have to ensure we keep an eye out for opportunities next week. Cheers

Paul...sounds to me like you and I are going to have some fun and interesting conversations next week (and into the future).  I could not agree more with your comment.

:rofl:

and.....share. What did you do? and what was the nickname that has followed you?

Diesel That really sucks!  I can truely empathize about being laid off.  Better things await. Remember, at one point in the very near future, this day won't matter diddly. Enjoy a better one tomorrow and keep looking forward to next week. Steve

For those who missed my update on the NOAB thread, here it is: I WILL be attending the NOAB on Sept 28.  I found out from someone in Esquimalt.  My travel arrangements have not been made yet. I gave a call to my RC this morning inquiring and the Cpl who makes the arrangements is out today and...

And then when he does go away, end up cheating on him anyway. And the circle goes round and round.

Good plan Paul. BTW is your last name Whyte?

Thanks for the advise Otis.  Your  :2c: is always welcome and appreciated.  You are trying to help us and I, for one, hang on every word of your advise.  (OK, that may have been a little over the top; but you know what I mean). Steve

At work...oh, wait...that was the same response that I put in last time I posted here. Oh well.

Where is everyone from? I know that a lot of poeple have said where they are from; but I thought instead of trying to read through all of the thread, we could just keep copying the list below and add where you are from to it so that at the end, it will be complete in one spot. (If I missed...

My very first posting was Goose Bay. Yes it got cold as hell in the winter, but it was the best social life I have ever had.  My daughter was born there. Guess we know what happens in the cold winters of strange postings, Moe. Steve :cdn:

Roy One of the things that make us Canadians such wonderful people is that we hear your story and don't give it a second thought.  There are justifiable reasons to do or not do many things and yours is definitely justifiable. Glad to read all is good now. Steve

My wife is also a Jedi...she says "gee I am cold" and before I know what happened, I am turning up the heat in the house.  No idea what happened.  I heard a lot of wives are secret Jedi.
