Just in case some might have missed it...Mike has put a new sub-forum up under the Mess Forum called the Home Front... This is where Military spouses and dependents can post etc...

Thanks Mike this is exactly what this place needed  ;) I agree with the health care problem...although I don't think this is a CF specific problem since I have not been able to find a pediatrician for the past 8 years here in Ottawa, but I do have a reliable and trustworthy family physician. ...

TCBF is right...almost all those things he mentioned happened to my husband and I in the first 3 weeks he was in St-Jean(except for the relative dying part) We have a contingency plan for every possible scenario that might come up and it makes it easier to deal with things when we can't...

To: BOSNwife I wasn't speaking badly of the site, but since that site was down, I was looking to see if there might be more interest else where? I joined as a member of CanadianMilitarySpouse.com in February and there just wasn't much traffic, that is all I stated.  But I did find the static...

Hi I am both a spouse of a member and a member of the CF. There used to be a forum called "www.CanadianMilitarySpouse.com", but once I joined I found that it wasn't that good, since there weren't enough members. It had some good static information, but the number of messages and through put was...

Field Shaving... Now I am a woman and couldn't care less about legs and such in the field...but always felt sorry for guys in the field when I saw them ripping up their face in the morning.  My husband buys shaving cream in a tube....it looks like tooth paste. He uses this in the field and...

Dress regs now say that you can leave hair in french braids (one or two) with out tucking them or putting them in a bun. Before this reg change, I used to do two braids and tuck the end up under and into the opposite braid and pin it there. Very Heidi....

Instead of screen capture, try using "link to this page" at the top right hand side....beside the email and print icons...then you can copy and paste the url anywhere you like, i.e. emails/posts/bookmarks I am going to my husband's BOTP Grad next week so I thought I would look up the mega and...

Back to the hair question... I have very long, thick, curly hair and it is in long layers. I recommend only using "hair pins"...not bobby pins. The difference is the shape, the hair pins are "v" shaped. They work better with thick or curly hair then bobby pins, when you buy a pack, there is...

Hi I was wondering if anyone has any information on extended health coverage offered by the CF, specifically involving hearing aids in the case of dependent children? My 4 year old daughter is going to need them soon, and we are new to the Reg Force health coverage system. My husband(army.ca=...

Not enough food... Find yourself a smaller female on your course to go through the food line with. During my BMQ I would gladly give away my main entree items to the big guys on my course...army meat is not my fav and I hated to waste food, and the mess staff do give the same size portions to a...

I didn't join the reserves until I was in university, but found that it didn't conflict with my school. During weekend trg, the staff should allow time to do civilian homework/study if you need it. This should please your parents. Reserves can help you learn to manage your time which will be a...

As a female, I found the following useful: 1. Bring baby wipes in a ziploc bag, excellent for the field: for face, hands, pits & bottoms. Keep a small pack handy in your jacket or webbing to use before meals.  Useful for garrison to clean flat surfaces quickly. 2. Bring a small travel size of...
