I wasn't going to post, but I have to. I've seen 280 lbs 6ft pass basic, as well as 5"8 200lbs pass basic. Your post actually made me laugh and once you get to basic you will laugh too. Out of 55 people on my course, 32 of them didn't pass the push up requirement and would of failed and been...

I've been posted Moose Jaw and there are no PMQ's available, which is fine because the ELQ's are quite nice. I was told there could be up to a 1-2 year wait to get a PMQ which is also fine, as the ELQ's are quite nice. My storage is in Vancouver and I've been told by Brookfield that they will...

Just moved from Comox to Moose Jaw. I was like yeah PLD!!! But then I realized the Provincial taxes are 6% higher so I lost $170 a month to taxes and PLD is $284 - Tax is $194 so really I'm getting an additional $24. I've got nothing to complain about however compared to Nova Scotia, so I'll...

I thought it was minus 400km each direction? Just got back and claim done from YMJ to YVR, I was entitled up to $528, but the plane tickets only cost $430, paid in full no questions. Don't forget to get your leave pass stamped by a library or RCMP or Doctor in the place you visited. Didn't...

I could of used this problem during basic, some of the boots that people took off could clear a room.

I'm doing an LTA in March, I'm hesitant to purchase my ticket because if there is a possibility of getting paid out for traveling via automobile, that's what I would rather do because I have stuff to bring back. Regina to Vancouver How do I calculate the benefit and is it a different amount...

The person in question was at work the whole week and didn't see the e-mail for the last 2 shifts they worked.

If your city is not on the list, no dice. I have a question as well, I understand that if you are co-habitating with another force member you are entitled to 75% of PLD. Do they take taxes based off or your income or is it like your posting allowance where they take like 48%?

Example; The person in question did not show up to a shift and was notified through e-mail 2 days prior on the DWAN. The person was told they were required to check their e-mail and the person used the "It's not in the section orders"

Hello, Looking for something in the QR & 0's or the Pubs to find anything relating to being required to check e-mail (Dwan)prior or after to a shift. I've looked up preparation for and completion of duty, but nothing specifically stating e-mail or correspondence.

If you go bankrupt do they drain all your RRSP's in order to help pay for your debts? The old link in this thread for DAOD does not work, any idea what the new one is? Old topic, but relates to the question.

I went through last January and they issued your underwear and kit before they did an inspection. You are entitled every year to I think 5 shirts and 5 pairs of underwear.

I'm obviously not going to win this, but I want to stress this if not for me, then a friend of mine in a similar scenario. When I went to basic, my stuff was moved out of my apartment and the apartment was for sale and I put a renter in there. I lived in this apartment for over 2 years. I will...

I occupied the residence prior to applying and being accepted by the forces.

When I applied to the forces, I understood that I would not be located in Maple Ridge where my apartment is located. At the time of application prior to enrollment, I put my apartment up for sale immediately and moved out and in with my parents renting the apartment to help with the costs of the...

I had to pull them off of EMAA as well.

Personally, I like the the papa smurf purple (I know not red) beret that he's wearing.

You have time to go on here week 2? I don't remember having time nor do I remember having internet or my phone week 2. Must be nice.

I read posts like these before going to basic and didn't think it would bother me. But, after the 100th time of hearing "Well in the cadets we did it this way" I lost some liking towards the individuals. You will earn respect by helping others not talking about how you have experience. Just...

You swore in, you signed a contract, you are officially in the military. You are just not trained yet and you are classified as a recruit.
