    Lowe's: No vet discount in Canada

    Where does this sense of entitlement for discounts come from that some people seem to have? Regardless if it was offered then taken away or not. Really, who cares?

    Traffic Technician ( merged )

    Traffic Techs can and do go to many different locations including some of those more dangerous areas performing all sorts of jobs. You could find yourself in the relative safety of a large camp loading C-17s or you could be at a FOB rigging slung loads for helicopters. You might be at a Service...

    Catching CF Flights around Canada.

    I would suggest calling NPSC as well, the web page may or may not be 100 percent accurate. On flights where there may be any Dangerous Cargo booked, Pri 5 pax are not permitted. Some flights are specific for Duty travel only while others are open for Pri 5 pax after user requirements are met...

    Well, the good thing is, I have a fantastic memory. The bad thing is it lasts about as long as that of a gold fish. My brian resets itself every 60 seconds or so.

    Ok, maybe I had a little more than a few months (not much more) but how is 117 personnel? And my next question is, who cares? I can say with certainty that not one person cares whether I managed that many prople for any length of time. I did it, it got mentioned on my PER and I moved on and got...

    UABs upon returning from afghanistan

    Tango18A, you are indeed correct, the CARF contains a TCN, this number remains with the shipment for its entirety, the Waybill number will change from one location to the next but the TCN remains the same. UAB flows similar to what Captloadie mentioned with some differences though. It is placed...
