    MPRR Clarifying

    Never took any language courses. I have a coworker who has the exact same thing on his, he didnt take any language courses either.  We are both at a loss, I have checked with the Wing Orderly room on two bases and my Sqn Orderly Room as well, the numerical code associated with it could not be...

    MPRR Clarifying

    While on the subject of MPRR, does anyone know what CFA AA Spanish/Castillian means? Aparently it was a course I took a number of years ago but for the life of me do not remember it nor do I know what it was.

    C-17

    Of all the aircraft we deal with the An 124 is by far my favorite one, it is the easiets to load plan, the easiest to load and can take anything we have. I prefer the Antonov to the C-17 any day of the week.

    C-17

    Let us get a couple of those AN-124s. Now that is an easy aircraft to load and can carry a lot more weight than the CC-177s, maintenance on it and operating costs would probably be through the roof though.

    Russell Williams charged in 2 x murders, confinement, sexual assault.

    Marie-France certainly will be missed. She had an infectious smile, and had many friends throughout the Wing and the CF.

    Walts, posers & wannabes (merged)

    I had a cab driver in Barrie telling me one evening about his experience as a Tank Driver with the Canadian Armoured Engineer Division in Vietnam in 1969. I loved the story and just kept asking him about it until he dropped me off. It was good  entertainment for the drive between Barrie and Borden.

    Need help making critical decision

    I do not have to explain myself to anyone here but if it makes you feel better then ok. I could find you approximately 150+ members of one Squadron I know of who would immediately disagree with you in a heartbeat, unfortunately the vast majority of them are deployed right now. Not only the MSS...

    You and your UAB.

    If you were told that by a traffic tech then I would have to say that they did not do their job correctly (and I am being polite when I say that). There would have had to have been documentation somewhere on it or they could receive fines from CBSA for it. How it ended up in Edmonton is beyond...

    You and your UAB.

    I am just putting this out there since I have received a number of phone calls regarding UAB coming back from Afghanistan. For those of you who have followed the rules wrt UAB this might help explain some things. For those of  you who choose not to follow the guidelines then this is mainly...

    So? What is the Story with the shortage of Hatbadges?

    Digging up an old thread here but are there any updates on the Hat Badge issue that someone could pass on? I now have people in my section running around with metal Log Badges on their berets due to the shortage.

    UABs upon returning from afghanistan

    The ZAP # usually will not give any feeback in NMDS. Of course if I had the info given via telephone (ZAP # and destination) I could keep my eye out for it. If you need my office number I can send it to you via PM. Let me know.

    UABs upon returning from afghanistan

    As already stated UAB is low priority. Also, people try to bring things back that either do not belong in UAB or that is just plain illegal. Customs is very thorough with UAB lately and the amount of freight entering Trenton is quite high so that also may slow things down. As stated before, if...

    Canadian Whisky gets to keep "Glen" in its name

    That product (in my opinion) is nothing more than an over priced swill. There are many other Single Malts out there for half the price or less.

    Questions for Posties

    All of those airplanes you see with all that extra space are not necessarily at the disposal of the CF (By the way I did 7 months at KAF CATO so I may have a little insight in how the planes are used). If you saw just how much mail we get here in Trenton (I work in an office directly related to...
