When I did my 3's (6 months) I've been allowed to move my family and get a Q. 6 months is the minimum to move your next of kin-kids. After the course, I got posted to the same base ,so I stayed at the same spot.

I like the salmon, and I add up the lipton soup in it, plus a bit more water, wait 2 minutes...great! The one I can't stand: rotini primavera

During the pre-deployment DAGs that I went though, the padre (or social-worker) ask me what the wife was thinking about me possibly going away and such. They have your phone number and asked if I would mind if they call the wife, just to check what she says. I guess it depends of what your...

Je transfére un topic de la section anglaise. J'ai pris appris la nouvelle à RDI... http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/34850.0.html Sincères condoléances à la famille de la victime et au régiment ,plus prompts rétablissements aux bléssés

Alright, I stand corrected! Quite an interesting shotgun that you got there!

KevinB, My issued ballistic goggles are made by revision. http://www.army-technology.com/contractors/personal/revision/ Check this out!

Actually, there is 2 sections of engineers with assault boats (Zodiacs) tasked out to load up the supplies from the ships, and to go ashore (let's say shallow waters) to distribute the stuff.

Apparently, the 1000 troops are gone. http://www.herald.ns.ca/breaking/2aftupdates07.html This doesn't include Dart personnel.

reccecrewman, It's all great, the only thing is that OT (re-muster) clause after 3 years in Cbt arms would have to be put on paper (part of the contract). As you   know, it is hard for combat arms soldiers to get an OT. Plus it is not encouraged by your higher ops (if they're hurting for...

jo-dionne, Pour l'impôt, cela dépends de ta situation (célibataire, famille...) la déduction est différente. Pour les rations et quartiers, si tu est en relation depuis plus d'un an avec la meme fille ou tu as des enfants (si tu paye un loyer), souvent tu ne paye pas pour quartier & rations...

TCBF, Good point. But are we training the civvies in their trades? I mean OK they'll get SHARP training and some courses here and there (Word, excel...), but they don't learn their trades being DND employees. I know for a fact that it's getting hard for the civvies to get a long-term contract...

The one I've downloaded from this thread has been made in 2001-2002, cause I recognise the Sgt inspecting the poor lads... I know that he's back with his unit now. Anyway, He was quite an impressive ( and a bit intimidating) fellow. It was nice to watch that clip, remembering me a lot of...

Yes, The engineers are going for sure. Construction, heavy equipment, water purification, that sort of things... warning order is out.

Chimo, To me the signing bonuses are given to save the   CF money on training. If one bypasses QL3 (let's say 6 months course), there a good saving there by giving away 10 000$. It is to prevent another "big black hole" (financial that one). I know you're right on this...

Graphidi, IMHO, the chances are that members for LFAA would be deployed first, as the Navy is prepping up the ships in Halifax...

Je m'excuse mon cher Vandooze, mais au 403 Gagetown, ils en cherchent du monde pour l'entrainement des pilotes. Comme tu le sais, c'est là qu'est située l'école. Par contre, je comprends ton point de vue au sujet des mémos. Il y a beaucoup d'unités oû ils se cri**ent pas mal des demandes...

Just seen that on the cover of today's National Post... http://www.canada.com/national/nationalpost/news/story.html?id=fc458a6f-49db-4cbb-8806-43920c119e0f Basically, some soldiers in the Ghan are disclosing informations through emails to their loved ones or while posting on forums..

Springroll, I realize that it's never fun to have your better half away. Spouses make sacrifices, that's for sure. That's make you different than the other lady too. After a while,you kinda "serving" too by supporting your husband. It's hard, I figure ,and support is there for families "in...

TCBF, I agree with your points. I've noticed families where when Dad is going in the field for two weeks, it becomes a nightmare. We're not talking about tours here. Just taskings or training for a week or two. I've seen a wife calling back to the unit to get guys to pick up dog sh*t on her...

En passant, référence ton topic, Je n'ai jamais eu la chance de faire une "ride" d'hélico au Canada. Il semble qu'ils oublient toujours de te rappeller quand c'est le temps. Il faut noter que cela fait partie du training des pilotes de faire des vols avec passagers. Donc un mémo peux etre...
