Finished a nice swim at the pool, now to finish my last assignment for my summer courses, then settle in for a nice night of gaming, and maybe some beer.

BMI is BS. So long as you can pass your PT test, they don't care about your BMI, or BF%. I've got a few extra on me, and so do quite a few other people around me. Still, we can all pass CF EXPRES and/or BFT, so it's no worry. I've seen some pretty heavy-set recruits go through the green doors...

Saw it on the news last night. Kudos to the staff for keeping their cool, even maintaining services. If I'm ever headed in the general direction of Australia, I'm definitely flying Qantas.

Personally, I do them with just my thumbs under my shoulders.

All these are subject to operational/training necessities and requirements, of course. For example, A Muslim on my BOTP was made to shave off his beard for course, as the instructors felt his beard might not work well with a gas mask for CBRN.

Yep.

Most likely a camp cadet at CRPTC. When I did a course there a few years ago, Air cadets wore wedges with OG-107's on occasion, typically the weekly battalion parades.

Need I bring up the flipside, of wedge with combats? *dons flame-suit*

Nor are you an OCdt at 1443... Well, for that matter, neither am I. I'm an OCdt at 1507 :D

Revokation depends. I asked a friend of mine who's in the know, and here's what I got: If this guy sponsored your daughter's baptism, then no, he would technically hold the title for life, though you can certainly have him removed from any affiliation and responsibility beyond that (e.g. not on...

Sounds like The Regiment is doing the test together...

It counts. It's paid, pensionable time.

Not for CF Aircrew personnel. Plenty of them for Cadets and CIC flying gliders and tow-planes. Judging by what I've seen around the wing, some of them look of pretty recent manufacture, too. [EDIT] Not "Combat" dress, but Operational dress. Around 19 Wing, PLT, ANAV, FE, AESOP, and SAR TECH...

Dammit Mortarman, put the dictionary away. As for me,

Telus and Bell use the same towers, the coverage is the same. I'll gladly second the raves regarding Telus' customer service. Thier IVR is pretty straight-forward, and the CSR's know what they are doing. Plus, if you've been a good customer to them, you can negotiate freebies on your plan with...

I've never been to Edmonton (though I did lay-over there on a flight once), but I would wager Telus probably has good coverage.

I find Blenz is also quite nice (and Canadian!). Shame they're only out west... and in a few odd places throughout the world.

Simple electronic theories here, Cell phones don't require much juice to charge, just a few volts. A typical phone battery is 3.6V, which requires 4.2V (give or take) to charge. Given that a lot of phones these days can charge off a USB port, which provides no more than 5V, 500mA, you'd be hard...

That's news to me. Past 2 summers I was there, we had formed runs, platoon push-ups, et al.
