Can you swing by Montreal on your pub crawl? ;D

Okay gotcha.

? There are voice recorders in the cockpit.

They two fighter squadrons in Cold Lake just merged into a supersquadron. 416 and 441 merged and are now called 409 Sqn. Bagotville did it last year - merging 425 and 433.  It's really beneficial actually - putting all the resources in one place really makes thing run more smoothly and frees...

I did that training a year ago, so if you guys have other questions about Cornwall feel free to PM me.

Yes - people with military (past or present) members in their family care.  Other civilians, not so much.

That may be true, but I've been here two months and have already seen my paycheque decrease. Plus, it seems like the gov't here likes to invent all these fees that we have to pay.  It seems like they're constantly asking for some type of tax or fee. Crazy. The housing here is quite cheap...

They issue you an awesome pair at basic.  VERY supportive, and they look awesome too. *snort*

Does fan = wannabe?  I know how army guys complain abouut the airforce being soft, and I always tell them `jealousy will get you nowhere`.  ;D

That's why I said .... :)  I'm in Bagotville now, working at 12 ER - got posted here in April.  Couldn't be happier.  Well, except that now I don't get a coffee!! :) I'm coming back to CL for MF Period 3.  *Shudder*  The exercise itself will be fun, but I just left there! I don't want to go...

A fan? :P

I hear that they are cancelling AFOBC in Winnipeg and turning it into a correspondence course.  True? Also, for those who have gone, do you think you would have gotten the same level of course if it were done through correspondence?

Hahaha!!!!  I can't even attempt to defend myself - that's just funny. Well... I guess I should give a half-assed attempt at defending AWC...... At least we have the opportunity to go into the swamps - we sort of like to pretend we're hardcore and we deploy twice a year into the woooods!  We...

I lived in Cold Lake for awhile, and the magnets were always getting stolen off people's cars. It kind of made me wonder.... The city of CL is primarily military with some rig workers in there too.  I'm pretty sure the rig pigs would have no interest in 'Support Our Troops' magnets... so by...

Hours more reasonable??  It's shift work! Granted - I've put in many a 12, 14, 15hr day in the past little while... but more often than not we're only working a standard work day.  A little slow on the uptake there Bullit... I posted that video on Page 2.  You must be ATC, are you?  ;D

I don't think so.  I think I should have bought you one though - it was your mug out!  Unfortunately, no.  You can put your preferences, but as we are all aware - the needs of the CF come first. It varies course to course too.  When I was in Cornwall, from the 3s course that graduated, all...

Weapons is great!!!  So much better than the crappy ATC side.  ;D When you go weapons, you definitely have to go to North Bay first.  I've never heard of anyone not doing their time in the Bay.  You have to do surveillance, then ID, and you could possibly do RADIL too, I think.  Then there's...

I'm an air weapons controller, so I could maybe answer a few of your questions, or at least direct you to some AC Ops.  I know many of them. :) As far as being on the weapons side, you begin doing surveillance, then can progress up to ID, or work with links.  To become a WASO (weapons tech) you...

I miss Rick!!!! That little guy misses me too, I bet :) There's no PLD for Bagotville either, I'm sure.  The region is more expensive tax-wise, but the houses here are so cheap!!! I just bought a house here, and for what I paid I could have gotten a trailer in Cold Lake.  I guess it evens out.

I'm in the middle of a move now, and it seems like my Royal Lepage agent is playing the 'I've got a secret' game. There's so much money that we're entitled to, and she tells me about some of it, but other things I'm finding out on my own.  If I didn't know to ask about it, then I wouldn't have...
