What`s wrong with learning a language in Ottawa? We have the defence language academy, the FS academy, etc... All in a friendly, secure, family-friendly, CHEAP environment... Pff, typical CSIS gunk...

Dimitrov, I once was Infantry in Montreal... wow that makes me feel as if I'm already in a wheelchair with no hair! Ok, stupid comments aside, my advice to you is: visit all the regiments. Call and say you are interested in joining. If they say they have no spot, say you don't care, you just...

Myself included  ;D Joking aside, the human aspect of cargo operations (i.e. loadmaster and movement guys) will also delay, I think, the departure of pilots from the cockpits. Mind you, not so long from now, they might only be "overseeing" the computers who do 100% of the flying...

Notice to future pilots: Time to slowly start thinking about flying something else than fighters... The UCAV and XCAV programs in the US will also soon be front-line ready and outperform manned fighters.

From 2 AMS website (on the DIN if you have access http://trenton.mil.ca/8WingUnitsOperational/2AirMovSqn/CompassionateTravel_eng.asp): "Compassionate leave travel may be authorized for: The death or serious illness of a family member, or critical illness or injury, such that the patient’s life...

Techno: He did however occasionnally indulge in ham. Vegans will no doubt say it's that meat that drove the world to the brink. Tsk...

I also forgot to add to my argument, which is just for debate's sake as we all know: The infamous Quebec snow tire law, a favorite irk or Quebec libertarians. They argue, quite rightly so (I believe), that increasing insurance premiums for those who don't put on snow tires would have had the...

Probably wildly unpopular thing to say  :P Francis Fukuyama who, in the 90's, wrote an article trumpetting the end of history and the final triump of liberal democracy and capitalism recently wrote a retraction saying pretty much just that. Good read!

Oh well... seatbelt and helmet laws. My favorite examples. Ok please deconstruct this. Option 1: This is about the state. How does being told/forced to do something by the private sector makes you free-er? That one boggles my mind. The cops pull you over for not wearing a seatbelt - tyranny. The...

The Quebec Gang and G20? Hem there were lots of people from elsewhere too. I'm as disgusted as all of you and even in a bit of upset as I have friends who work there and many serving friends from TR. But I don't think it's fair to blame the G20 events on people from Quebec. Now I am, like you...

Thank you both for your replies, much appreciated.

Do they really wear fur coats in BC? That`s just wrong...  :P

Good morning and happy Canada Day  :moose: (so cool, I could not resist), As part of my CT/OT I had to undergo an eye exam in a private medical clinic for a rather hefty sum. Since I am not with the CFRC nor with the CF H Svcs Center, I was wondering to whom I should submit my claim. Part of the...

As for the tradecraft (I forgot), the TIME Magazine also published some more info allegedly relayed by the FBI on some parts of their investigation... http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2000396,00.html If those are true (!), they also seem to point to rather sloppy tradecraft.

Russian women like to strike "poses" for pictures... like, all pictures. I looked up her profile. She does strike a pose every time. They also like to wear fur coats of dubious esthetics by North American standards... she does. They are also generally not afraid to show their body (for the...

I would gladly interrogate her  ;D That being said, having been to Russia for a while and knowing quite a few... she looks Russian and she behaves very russian on her photos. That and the fact that they reportedly failed to provide any good info leads me to believe the tradecraft of the SVR...

Personnally, I couldn't care less about how the uniform looks on someone out of shape. Everyone should be in shape. It`s a requirement. You`re not? That sucks... I also thought the tans looked great. I can`t really imagine parading in greens somewhere like Cyprus, for example...

By the way, I realized I actually used some swear words in my previous postings, which I believe were corrected by the mods. Thank you for that and apologies, I forgot to "sanitize" my reporting of said words.

If finishing your degree is your main concern, and I think it is a very valid one, say so to the BPSO. Ask him/her what options would allow you to complete the degree. If none are available, then yes, perhaps releasing and trying again later would be your best bet. Good luck!

Where I work, there is one senior officer who swears all the time. Fuck this, shit that, bla bla bla. Morning briefing: "is there some fucking new shit on that fuckin ship?". You can read nothing but contempt in the eyes of the audience, INCLUDING other CF members, INCLUDING NCM`s and Cbt Arms...
