Thanks for this. It's tough to keep up sometimes with who's who in the zoo... Cheers, JTQ

I'm sure they wanted to include as many groups as possible, but couldn't. Regardless, this is great! RIP Nic!  :salute:

In the Halifax Regional Municipality DND is the single largest employer... undoubtedly a fiscally-motivated move for the government of NS, but if it means things get done quicker/better in NS from a contracts perspective, this could be a good thing. I'd like to see their plan to "make life a...

Hey Sigs Guy, Here's a link: http://calendar.lakeheadu.ca/current/programs/Graduate_Studies/gradsowk.html Looks like it's about two years, on top of the usual 4 year BA. Once you've completed that (or maybe during, if can get it subsidised by the CF) you'll have to do the Officers' basic...

Wow. I knew some of these restrictions, but I didn't realize that they were this comprehensive. I don't know if emailing it to the NDP would produce results: they'd argue that it was a fixture of culture, one we should not be messing with...  ::)

One of the first things drilled into our heads: 'there is no such thing as an admin move' outside the wire. A great, no-nonsense article.

Some of us over here saw it on the news... the common reaction to those interviews was chuckling and head-shaking.  Can't take those folks too seriously.

I don't know about planning too hard on getting married while on course. You should have some weekends off, but you shouldn't count on them, that's for sure. I can't speak for weekday hours, but inspections/PT should normally be done by 7, class for 8 or so, then normal workdays until about 5pm...

Joined in June 1997... still at 'er  >:D JTQ

It's great to see the honours & awards system working, especially as it relates to valour decorations; it's great to see those who have put their lives on the line for others appropriately recognized!  :)

Congrats!  :salute:

I prefer the term investigation to probe, but hey... at least the results of the investigation were positive from an ROE perspective, newspaper posturing aside. It's obviously sad that we lost friendlies in the exchange, but perhaps this will go some way in providing education/awareness to ANP...

Therin lies the rub...  :) I agree 100%

Like what? Wiccan, Episcopalian or Presbyterian? This isn't an Irish-Catholic/Protestant issue - he's arguing that the Queen is a 'foreign' monarch.

Ah... I missed the "in order to get" part. Aren't there other ways to get commonlaw - like sharing bank accounts? I must admit I don't know anything about CL - I went straight for the marriage route. JTQ

You'd be guessing wrong. It actually means quite a bit to most of us "younger graduates", or at least the peers I graduated with - one of whom was living those ethos when she was killed in action earlier this year. Many more are living them right now in Afghanistan and elsewhere. There are...

Highland Cathedral is my personal favourite. I don't know how it would sound with a single pipe, nor is it all that appropriate a march, I suppose. I was wondering what Flowers of the Forest was. It sounded familiar during the ramp ceremonies, but I could put my finger on it; thanks Piper for...

Happens all the time here in Shearwater from what I'm seeing. I'd like to see actual regs on this - one of my pet peeves is seeing more than one family in a large Q - I'm nearly positive it's happening on my street. Another angle, if applicable; if the four bedroom is one of the ones with a...

Don't know how much help I can be, aside from the fact that it was all done for me - when I got married at RMC in 2000 and moved into Qs the OR did all the admin for me; I ended up only paying for the Q. For a while, I was allowed to eat at the mess as well, until they went to a card system. JTQ
