I was wondering if there is time off after completion of basic training.

The platoon getting the award is pat platoon ON Base Borden.And they truly did win the 'best drill in Canada'. ....and to some that might be all they do but there are some who did work every day being tasked out and they too were awarded for giving their time.

Congrats to Borden's Pat Platoon on their 'Best drill in Canada'.Picture to be in Maple Leaf magazine.

Your right Trinity...was uncertain of that one....important none the less.

They think they know who took the items. I have to send the serial # to my son so he can pass it in. I am sure it is a hopeless case. It is just the damn senseless of it  happening in the first place,and not being able to trust your fellow man to boot.

Hence comes two of the 10 Commandments.... 'Do onto others as you would have them do onto you' and 'Thou shall not steal'. May sound a little bit too religious for some of you but it was in my upbringing and I passed it on to my son.

Thus.. are you implying the person who had their stuff stolen is also a thief?   ;) ;) ;D   My son is as honest as the day is long. He was taught at an early age that stealing and lying were wrong and had consequences which he didn't partictularly like. He either waited until we could afford...

It just behooves me as to why a fellow CF member would go into another fellow CF members room, through the night while they are sleeping and steal their personal items. Yes, The items should either have not been there or else locked up but the CF is supposed to be a family. Why would they do...

Oops, sorry, Just so danged proud.Won't say it again.

My son has been in Borden the last 5 months so he will be there to greet whomever is going in that direction.He starts the 4th.

My son is going to be in Alpha . Is that the one you were in and if so how did you find it. He is so pumped.

I too am a new proud army mom and I found marriedtothecanadainforces  a great help.Also I found this website helpful . Keep in touch we can compare notes and maybe help one another. Thanks for your note.Wanda

Wow...thanks.

My son is in Borden now and is getting recoursed Sept 4th. Doesn't SQ follow the 9th week? He is with the understanding that it is an 11 week course now.

I have purchased over 100 items from the US and have only once incurred duty fees. The fees were reimbursed back to me because (gift) was on the shipping slip.  I had to go after Canada customs and they were very oblidging.These items were purchased from ebay. Hope this helps.

Well, well, well.... Haven't I opened a can of worms and the wiggliest ones are still squirming. I never thought a simple question and an opinion from little ole me would raise such a clatter.  Thank you Signalman for your input and for your understanding what I was trying to convey. I do...

HATS OFF TO YOU SIGNALMAN! ! ! Thank goodness SOMEONE  ELSE  can understand what I was trying to convey. Yes, It certainly is a morale booster to come in after a long arduous day and have a letter from a loved one waiting for you. Someone has to be able to answer as to why these individuals do...

Many thanks. It's just something else a person will just have to live with. By the way he has been in Borden and on base since April. No harm done. I tend to 'jump the gun' so to speak.. ..when things don't go right. The humidity for sure.

And also to you George. Thanks.
