Above post is mine.... posted on my buddy's machine. Cheers,

If you are asking what the housing market is like in St. Jean, my response is "not sure." A couple of the guys found places in Montreal to rent while they are doing SLT. Some others have found places in town. Based on what I have heard, it is a bit a pain- given the time restrictions, language...

Hello my dear, ASEOP, SLT is not considered a post. Remarkable that the last few classes of BOTP were about Quality of Life- then they tell you that you must stay in St. Jean for an additional 8 months. In our serials case, that is 11 months without a post away from family. I think your hubby...

I just finished BOTP. We ran 5-8 km 4-5 times a week. This was in the bitter months of January, February and March. Some other plattoons never ran. It depends on your DS. Good luck.

Just a couple more weeks until another bunch of 2lts are pumped out of that beautiful landmark in St. Jean. None of us baby pilots have heard any news regarding our next step. This is what we have heard- can any of you dispell them? 1. Baby pilots are getting waived past SLT. 1 b. Baby Pilots...

What Zoomie means is that CAPPS does not "fly" like a real aircraft- hence not a "flight simulator" but rather a training device. Best of luck.

Having spent the last two weeks in Beautiful Farnum, the only thing that kept me sane was watching the Griffons doing their low level stuff. It kept a smile on this baby pilot as I was humping through the sticks with a ruck. -32 and the wind. I love Quebec in the winter. ;P Cheers,

Sworn is today by my father. Very proud moment. I'm off for IAP tomorrow. I don't think I'll be around much for a while ;) Carp, Drop me a line once you know when you're headed to St. Jean. [email protected]

I found this article on CBC site this morning. It made me smile. A little light earted ribbing to our brothers on the wet coast. ;D Chilly Vancouver gives away salt, posts lifeguards at semi-frozen lakes http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2005/01/13/vancouver-cold050113.html VANCOUVER -...

I am concerned about some of view points expressed here (and the NL Flag thread), because they appear to illustrate some very deep and fractional divisions within this confederation. Perhaps it is the nature of internet blog, that occasionally more extreme views are presented. Regardless, it...

Needless to say this is a very passionate issue. Even the best of us can lose our cool.

Another great Newfoundlander-  ;) :salute: :cdn:

Don't blame us for it? If you ******* knew something about the issue.... get educated them come back. We are Canadians in the confederation. This is not a us/them argument- to imply that it does clearly illustrates your ignorance. I apologized before but not now. That's what we want- however...

Congrats Coutrney! Focus on nothing else but the course. Cheers,

;) Let me apologize for my comments. I'm sure over a beer we would be able to sort this out. William's is not doing this to gain favour in BC. All he is trying to do is hold the PM accountable for his actions. It is amazing how Williams has become the villain. It is the PM who lied, and the...

I am curious to know what would happened to Ont, PQ manufacuturing economies if: 1. We shut down Churchill Falls 2. Didn't provide the ore for smeltering steel 3. Didn't give fish to foreigners for trade relationships that benefited mainland suppliers. 4. Didn't provide the skilled labour to...

"Please sir... may I have some more?â ? If you are seriously interested in this discussion may I suggest you listen to the Rex Murphy comments and read the Crosbie letter. They are more articulate that I am. <sterotypical Newfoundland wit on> However if you want to get into a mudslinging...

If you may recall, he also did a "We're here for a good time" video while visiting troops in FYR. It was on the 22 minutes website. I'll see if I can find it. http://www.forces.gc.ca/site/Feature_Story/2004/jan04/28_f_e.asp By Capt Darren Steele Comedian Rick Mercer (centre), along with Sgt...

Two things disturb me about your comments. 1. We share the same flag. 2. We wear the uniform. I am not going to refute your comments. I'll let others form their own opinions of your comments and let them judge your merit. I would suggest that you share your opinion with Newfoundlanders in your...

CBC Newfoundland did a little story on a British Paratroop exercise in Labrador. http://stjohns.cbc.ca/media/herenow.ram It will only be available until Jan 12 17:00 EST. It is on 27:22 of the broadcast. Cheers,
