Yup that is quite a thread hijack and quite disrespectful to the OP if you ask me. Now, wannabepilot, are some of the other AF trades really of interest to you? Because you do have to understand, as far as pilot is concerned it is over. As well, understand that if you release right now and...

I may be putting my foot in my mouth here, but an assisting officer is someone who supports the accused during a summary trial, so that doesn't apply to you as you haven't been charged with anything...or have you? :p Seriously, the BPSO is there to help you. Be honest with her/him, stand your...

xmilitary, do you have his contacts?

Well not from our current gear it won't, for sure...  :'(

Considering we here felt the worst of it, I would say they are milnews. My wife complained that a coffee tin fell off the fridge, but that`s it ;D The cat was a bit like "WTF???" though... apparently.

Some people at NDHQ conveniently took it upon them to leave following the tremor, claiming God knows what excuse to do so. .. shame.

Yeah, the oft-used acronym is MICE - money, ideology, conscience, ego. Also OWDU, THink about the german americans and/or canadians during WWII. Some of them had been here a LONG TIME... yet that didn't stop SOME of them from helping out nazi Germany. Even though they were of european descent...

Plenty of excellent advice. Anyone care to comment on the chances someone on OJT might have to do anything CBRN-related, i.e. unit CBRN O?

What is also interesting is 1. The timing of this release, G8 and all. 2. The very fact that it was authorized in the first place... clearly not an independant decision. I wonder what gain the political masters saw in this announcement.

Ah ah! How friggin true... after months and years of waiting and snail pace admin, you will suddenly find yourself propelled in a world of "do this do that then this then that you got 2 minutes go".  >:D

Disclaimer: I'm not an engineer. I would guess that b/w morning PT, marching everywhere, field exercises, and prep for BFT, you won`t want to.

DesertFox, one of my good friends did exactly that 5 years ago, had to show up once a week at the Sqn, paid full salary and attended university full time. He began flight training pretty much straight after his graduation, on top of that.

I saw the charge sheet and have to say, it also looks SOMEWHAT like the women involved might have had second thoughts about the whole thing... the day after. Anyway, I guess it's better to let the trial go and see what happens.

Granted, but now that you have a Master's you are posted to Ottawa... for three years. Think of the drive back! I wish it were Friday already...enough with this bloody week.

Olga: Pardon my ignorance but isn't that what the training list system seeks to achieve, i.e. identify leaders with superior potential to lead their trade/branch/element and give them the right postings in the right order?

I think she should go straight to the mental hospital...

He he... I remember an advert at my Uni inciting people to use their school loans to travel. Hmmm... interesting idea...

Could it be that said Captain had joined a bit later? I can see that an increasing number of folks are joining mid to late 20's rather than at 20 (that's my case in fact) and therefore do not enter the EPZ to Major before 35. In fact, I think that with increasing education levels, people...

Damn right. Revisionist history, no matter in the defence of what cause, is wrong at best and downright dangerous at worst.

Well CSIS is now an overall SI business covering terrorism and foreign intelligence, thereby Canadian SECURITY Intelligence Service, but yeah, initially it was simply taking over from RCMP who was mainly focused on CI. I fully support your 90% though ;D
