I got my ETP instructions on the 24 Apr, with COS and ETA being 2 May. To me that seems like obscenely short notice.

My ETA is 2 May. I came down to Calgary to finalize the release from my home unit, and do a BFT. I'll check in with the SOR this afternoon to see if we can get the rest of this gong-show hammered out and change my ETA as necessary. The difficulty of this situation has been compounded by the fact...

I'm holding firm on the drive right now. The storage unit situation was unavoidable, If the CF doesn't like the company I am with, then I can just get someone to move it to an approved storage company.

Well, I figured I'd be proactive and just drive 3000 Km and show up. They can feel free to drag their asses, but that isn't how I roll.

How about a solar powered manpack? Hey! Tell that Jimmy to get out of the shade!

My CC was pissed that I booked my own storage unit without the permission of the CF, but since 1-08 I've been living in Grande Prairie so I doubt the CF has a working relationship with anybody up here (especially me!). I'm driving to Kingston, I'm not getting posted without my car.

Well, for me I'm 8 days from reporting to Kingston for my Reg force contract and I have no useful information or paperwork, I admit I'm slightly distressed by this.

We spent centuries wishing we could navigate the northwest passage, and now that we may be able to do so (if but only part of the year) its pretty much the worst thing since Genghis Khan. When the cycle swings back the other way we will lament the good old days when ships could bypass the Panama...

What is your goal/objective? This is the first time I've heard of Plyometrics. I'm not much of a PT scientist, I just run and ski pretty much but I browse these boards from time to time looking for the magic PT bullet.

As hot and shitty as it can be, you have to admit its an insanely photogenic country. I hope we succeed well enough that people will once again backpack through the country as they did in the past.

That chart is hard on the eyes. its tough for me to draw a conclusion from it. Apparently more ice melts nowadays, but it mostly bounces back. If we have any resident ice scientists feel free to chime in...

I'm releasing from my current unit and on the cusp of driving to Kingston to begin my third trade in the CF, but this time its for real because its the reg force  8)

As far as I know, where I live the electricity is either bio-mass, natural gas, or coal. It gets bitterly cold in the winter, and its around 300 miles to get to Edmonton. I, as a consumer, will stick with my fossil fuel car until an electric car is built that won't become a 4 wheeled paper...

There is another reason why these things tend to fail... People design a "green" product and get all self righteous and demand consumers buy the product, instead of building a "green" product that consumers are looking for and would be happy to buy. If your product cannot compete with...

How dishonest and weasely is that? You write something, you are proven to be an idiot, and then you delete it? Well, at least nobody else has to read the garbage spewed by this unscrupulous ass.

Hopefully boring = good for your security clearance!

...but how does it react to the cold? If I recall correctly, the Chevy Volt won't be a wise investment for people who live very far north of the 49th parallel.

Dara, which thread it that? The main difference/concern here is regarding the particulars of employment. If the scheduled 3's course does not occur as planned, I'd much rather work as a Sig Op than do GD work.

Out clearance from my old unit has begun. My start date is May 1 and that seems awfully close to have no useful details, I've hounded my SOR relentlessly because I have a bitter mistrust of military bureaucracy. I'm wondering how I will be employed/treated/housed while I wait for QL3 part 1 and...

If this topic has already been covered let me know. I haven't spotted the particulars of this situation covered elsewhere. I applied for a CT/OT from reserve Sig Op (I have QL5 with PLQ and a tour) to reg force army Comm Rsch. I have accepted the contract offer and now I'm wondering what...
