I suspected as much, I also got a negative response from higher so I accepted the contract offer. So I've got a brand new job and I don't even have to change my hat!

Here is a question for you Comm Rsch guys. I am CT/OTing to your trade, as a Sig Op is there any chance whatsoever that I could get QL3 part 1 written off? I am in a position to request a PLAR for that, but it would likely push my contract start date to the right, and I've got a feeling the...

I wound up deploying as a Tp sig with the Combat Engineers overseas. Which turned out to be a very rare opportunity indeed. Cool "hardcore" jobs do pop up once in a while for Sig Ops. From my observations each unit that deploys overseas has a bit of play as to how they use the pers they have...

I reckon having handy access to one or two would be great, so you don't drain the camelbak too soon. I'd keep one in my pocket and get a buddy to dig one out of my pack on halts...which was pain because they were always buried under rats or batteries or C4. The KPRT should build a bottle...

Wow, administrative Ex-Lax works! Last week I called CFRC Edmonton for an interview, they had me in yesterday (put me up in a hotel) and I got a contract offer today! This has been the first time in my military career that complaining actually paid off!

As of the time I checked it, CNN hardly mentioned it was a Canadian plane, but the Fox news website really locked its jaw into the Canadian connection. Meanwhile, on CBC television they are gonna play up the speculation spin cycle until either their voices are hoarse or something else...

You could draw comparisons to the Afghan conflict and current global financial crisis to the Spanish civil war and the great depression. The timings aren't in the right order historically, but we've got conditions that could lead to a greater problem. The comparison I wish to draw is that the...

You're preaching to the choir, at the end of the day its the Canadian voter who decides what we do, and what equipment we get to do it.

Shouldn't a small military pool resources and personnel rather than divide them up?

The "indigenous self-determination" crowd couldn't give a damn what real Afghans think of the Taliban or the mission. In there eyes the Taliban is their traditional way of life and they've always lived in fear and rubble since time immemorial. They also ignore the fact that Afghanistan is not...

As an aside, I fail to understand why this fellow, and many others like him feel that the state owes them a free post secondary education. On his blog he states that "education is a right" and it is, primary and secondary school are provided to all children in this country. Adults have to pay...

We sure got a lot of conversational mileage out of that one. I bet there is a forum in the States going mental about a theoretical purchase of a Brazilian plane vs. a currently non-existent American plane that no one has formally asked for?

http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/the-dewline/2009/01/will-the-ov-10-ride-again.html I found that link on the wiki page for the Bronco.

All of this has happened before, and it will all happen again. I doubt WW III is more than a decade away.

Brilliant work! You learn something new every day!

I probably would send an e-mail. I suspect the CoC of your home unit isn't in a position to apply leverage on your behalf. If there is someone in the know please chip in...

I don't think there is anything you can do to change the mind of someone that ignorant. He has the world figured out and he is obviously mad that some soldiers are paid to go to school (and defend Canada and liberal western ideals) while he is not paid to go to school. You can't reason with a...

The ball appears to be rolling again. I've got an interview next week. Like I mentioned, I had the brilliant stroke of luck to meet my Branch Chief and he was appalled by the sloth-like movement of my file and he gave me a contact who appears to have administered a bit of ex-lax to the system.

Unless you're being sarcastic or boastful, my understanding was: Combat Arms: Infantry, Armour, Engineers, Artillery Combat Support: Medics, Sigs CSS: The rest

Also, don't forget the FOOs. I'm not in the Artillery, but I sure as hell wouldn't slag 'em! Can't leave the patrol base without one of them!
