I don't quite know it all, but I do know some of it. I really appreciate you all discussing this with me. My last name probably is Cantonese. That's the impression I get. However, I honestly don't know. I just know that my dad's side of the family is Foo Chow, and my mom's side is Fookien. I...

Should I buy a tutu or a pair of baggy jeans? ;) ;D

Just for the record, I don't consider China my homeland. I only said that in a humourous way to reflect that my grandparents were born there. Regarding discrimination, I hate it, but yeah, it has already happened. 1 school said that they aren't racists, but that their students are. Another...

Hmm, that's a very good point. I'm going to read up about that. I believe you. I just need to know the specifics.

I'm embarrassed to ask this, but what is the purpose behind upgrading my clearance anytime after that? I thought that once I got permission to go there, then I'm okay. After that, I return home, and then continue my military career. Are you referring to visiting neighbouring countries?

I'll take it. I picked China, because it was picked for me. :) I hate to say this, but I got tired of the family suggesting to me that I do it. As much as I hate to travel, I do see that there are benefits to visiting the "homeland".  ;D Just for the record, I don't consider China my homeland...

Alright. What do I need to think about? I looked up the list of countries that we can go to. I see that it's okay for us to go there, but I'm still unclear about what you mean by "schedule country". Technically speaking, aren't all countries on that list schedule countries?

Hi all. May I ask for some advice on how to go about teaching ESL in China, and then come back to get full time hours in the military, please? I'll start off by quickly introducing myself to those of you who haven't read any of my postings. I'm Eugene T.S. Wong, Pte Wong, a supply tech, from...

Thanks for sharing. I appreciate it. That bit about 1812 is meaningful to me, because I often wondered how much 1812 really affects today. I know that the little guy often beats up the big guy, so I know that we can do it, but hesitate to say that we will ever be powerful enough, anytime soon.

Where did you see these course dates?

Yeah, I'm like you. I'm waiting for QL3, but it is very difficult to work around the courses. That's what I really hate about the reserves. Most of us can't get full time work with the reserves, when we are only SQ qualified, yet we can't get the time off from our civie jobs. I'm not like you...

I'm a supply tech with the BC Regiment [Duke of Connaught's Own] [a reserve unit in Vancouver] Pte Wong ETS [Eugene TS] I don't have my first hook yet, so don't be surprised that I haven't been anywhere. :) I'm just getting more responsibilities right now.

I was told on course that they couldn't swear at us, even though the same instructor swore at us when we made mistakes. The thing is that he also swore when he wasn't mad. In fact, he was the nicest guy on the course, and never got mad. Every time I messed up, I felt bad because I think that I...

I can't believe that soap and soap dishes are being discussed after 3 years. I took BMQ & SQ at Chilliwack, in the summer of 2007, brought 2 dishes and 2 bars of soap. In fact, I brought about 6 dishes and gave them away to those who needed them [I'm normally not so generous, but my mom and dad...
