For the last few months I've been under the impression that I'd be there on the 18th... but now it's confirmed that I'll be on the 25 Aug english serial. (Surname is Telfer, DEO Arty) See you there!

well technically, the last time I checked the distance of a new route like that in my car, it was 1999 and pre-google earth. Pre-Google for that matter! I think I've been living in the same city for too long... I'll be glad to move and run in different places soon.

Good Job GeorgeD! I spent some time working in a gym, and I was always happy to see new people stick with it and change their lifestyle. Do the best you can and enjoy it.  The only thing you truly own in this world is your body, so keep it healthy!

Well I do brine my car every 2nd saturday, after I wish it with soap. I think I'll take your suggestions to heart, and tell my girlfriend that she can't use my car from August to October...

You're always a help, Eye In The Sky.  I'll check into the reimbursement for driving/gas vs. taking the train.

At least the smell of perfume and tequila gives you warning!

I'll be around for the summer, working out of CFRC Kitchener, if you'll have a fresh OCdt! No cougars for me - girlfriend has a mean left hook.

I'd assume so, since he's a Captain

I had planned to drive to BMOQ in St. Jean, but was strongly advised against it;  I was told that the parking is very limited at CFLRS. I'll take the train instead, but will definitely drive to Gagetown for CAP and artillery training in the fall, since I'll be there for over a year.

That's a great site!  No more driving around in my car and measuring to scale on maps to find my distances!

It's official - I'll be working half-days at the CFRC Kitchener, doing reception and office tasks.  The other half of the day will be reserved for OPMEs and exercise. I'm happy on one hand to be getting some military experience before the August BMOQ, but money is going to be tight on OCdt pay...

Good to know.  How did you feel about the material covered in 001 and 002? Useful/interesting/helped you do your job better?  Was it info you wish you had learned right from the get go?

I received the registration confirmation emails, so it looks like all is in order.  My only duties from May to August are doing these OPME's and exercising, so I should be able to manage my time well enough.

I was just notified today that I'll be doing DCE001W, DCE002W, and HIE208W this summer, while I wait for the August BMOQ.  I had asked to do three OPME's, and it all looks like interesting material.  Anyone else doing OPME's, feel free to message me for discussion once they get started.

I'll be there. Surname: Telfer Age: 27 In for Artillery Officer (DEO), out of Kitchener.

Thankfully, many of us DEO already have decent jobs to stay with while we wait. It is my understanding that approx. 60 DEO recruits have been affected by this cancellation.  There may still be a remote chance of another course opening up for us in late May, but my money is on August.  Hooray...

If placed in the recruiting centre for 8:30 to 4:30 Monday to Friday, you could be doing: - miscellaneous office work as directed - online OPME course that you'll require for promotions later on anyway - taking off for a few hours a day to exercise or any combination of the above. At my CFRC...

I just spoke with my recruiting officer here in Kitchener. I had been counting on May 5 BMOQ, but he said the English BMOQ has been cancelled, and offered me the french version instead.  My french skills are barely adequate, so I declined. I'll be going to BMOQ in August instead, and I have...

That was way too much fun! 15/15 - 171 600

Protein shakes are OK as a supplement, just make sure your primary protein is coming from meat, fish, etc.. If you're avoiding milk because of lactose intolerance, keep in mind whey protein shakes are a milk product.  There are also casein protein shakes available that could work instead if...
