    Need Cellphone

    They charge you a month in advance for your plan and a month behind for any overage charges on your minutes or usage of text, browser etc. They can't charge you if they don't know what you use. It's not a trick, every cell phone company does it the same way. In truth most service providers...

    Gear For Basic

    Just water fountain speak I hear. But it would be concerning reg force BMQ. Again those are just rumours, I have no solid evidence. Indeed the Halifax/Esquilmalt rumour has been around for awhile.

    Gear For Basic

    That's not true Hatchet Man, they are doing bmq in Borden also now and there is talk of extending it to Halifax and Esquilmalt(sp) Your kit gets issued to you at the base on which you are doing BMQ. So for you, you will get your kit at Borden probably early in the first week. Good luck.

    "It's a fact the heavier you are the more likely you are to have health problems" Weight is not the issue there poncho, it's fat or unhealthy weight, I suppose you're going to tell me that a 250lb body builder is more likely to have problems because he's "heavy" The BMI is a non starter, NFL...
