I assume that is sarcasm? A whole ONE kilometer walk? ::) (sorry, sarcasm detector is in the shop) :dontpanic: Now THAT's a little time consuming. Good exercise (especially up Warner Hill >:D :threat: >:D) but a time killer for sure.

From THE source (QR&O vol I): 16.25 â “ LEAVE WITHOUT PAY AND ALLOWANCES   16.25 â “ CONGÉ SANS SOLDE NI INDEMNITÉS An officer or non-commissioned member may be granted leave without pay and allowances, in the circumstances prescribed in orders issued by the Chief of the Defence Staff...

Perhaps in the same vein - Why the large delay in processing CT's? If the candidate has already passed the medical and security check as a reservist, with perhaps has a tour under his/her belt, shouldn't it be a case of "turn in your regimental kit and report to St Jean / Meaford (sorry! :o) /...

Perhaps a minor point, but if the poppy is on the headdress, then I found it is less prone to damage due to jacket on / jacket off. As well, this necessitates only acquiring one poppy, instead of 3 or 4 (one per layer). True, the beret may be off the noggin for a part of the day - but would you...

(I'll try not to take the geeks label personally ;)) As an LCIS tech, I'll try to answer questions that aren't already available on the recruiting website. To start: 1. LCIS tech (Land Communications and Information Systems) tech - we repair / maintain any communications equipment that the army...

In My Humble Opinion

In class at CFSCE, during POET, learning about FM (Freaky Magic). We had the radio on, and later someone wheeled a TV into the cafeteria. Speculation was quite rampant that morning. ("All cbt arms remusters are going back to their former units" :o)

Well... I hesitate to say this, but IMO, the only way the people (that is, the ones that range from "We have a military?" to "Disband the military - all we need is love and a lot of Canadian flags") are going to actually support a stronger and MORE EFFECTIVE military is to have (God forbid) a...

Currently, all trg above QL3 has been suspended as poetboy said, pending a review of the course content. (I'm trying to remember a memo I saw back in '02). The basic scoop was that the QL5/6 was teaching material that was becoming increasingly outdated, and as such was to be suspended. As well...

Hello everyone... As mentioned in numerous postings, a lot of talk about procuring "this" and establishing "that" for the CF results in a "as determined by defence policy, which is determined by foreign policy" reply. So I was wondering... :warstory: If it were up to you, and you alone, what...

There was a time when military qualifications would translate into equivalent civilian quals, i.e. dvr lic, air brake, motorcycle, etc. but those days are gone. :crybaby: You can be qualified on civ patterned vehicles (staff car, van, etc.) but as for getting your civ licence, you're on your...

You wouldn't be talking about Saviour, would you? (Dennis Quiad) - Saw that one in Kosovo, the interpreters had their own spin on the events

Ah yes, Shito-Ryu (or my case, Itosu-Kai) - it‘s a fine sport style, but for a down and dirty bar fight, there is some room for improvement. The only thing I can say about TKD is it looks neat.. but so does aikedo. What I see is when your *** is on the line, the only rule is WIN.

GI - Gastro-Intestinal tubes - for feeding people who cannot eat of drink as opposed to IV - intraveneous feeding through a needle straight into the bloodstream. (I knew watching E.R. had it‘s benefits! :p As for privacy, depends on the situation - on course, in garrison, in the field, on...

Found a better one: http://www.cadets.net/docushare/dscgi/ds.py/View/Collection-2887 Hope you have high-speed - 5M+ for some files!

For the last word... A-AD-121-C01/FP-000 STAFF AND WRITING PROCEDURES FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL DEFENCE AND THE CF (p 4-3-2 for sample memorandum) ask for it at your orderly room

Your company clerk should be able to help you. I find each unit likes to do things their own way. I think there is aan official way to do it, but it seems to apply to NDHQ only.

I saw Savior when I was in Kosovo - pretty good film, and the interpreters that saw it said it was a pretty tame version on reality. Some couldn‘t watch it, I guess it brought back bad memories.

I recall during my tour in Bosnia in ‘98 when our Coy was sitting in Drvar for a good part of the tour, that the Brits assigned to us had a dog team. We asked, and they were quite happy to qualify two of our guys as dog handlers. Nothing like trusting your buddy to keep the dog under control in...

4) Free housing; 5) Free rations (field notwithstanding); 6) 404‘s allow you to drive personal vehicles without a provincial licence; 7) $10 flights to Hawaii (whoo hoo!)... More to follow, I‘m sure.
