Well, I don`t mean to create  a controversy or something, let me tell you. But on my course, we had 3 or 4 medics from field ambulance in Valcartier(all of them were in AFG with the task force from Valcartier, dunno which roto number) and a Construction folk (army uniform) from a field engineer...

Well, I agree with all of you on this. The thing is that for the last few years, the "support trades PLQ" was a little "different" (read easier) than other PLQs, and now they want to set a standard for most PLQs...I can`t talk for Land PLQ, which seems to be harder anyway...anyhow, just a bit...

Hi all! As I mentionned previously, I just want to provide all of you with the info on the new "enhanced" PLQ (ePLQ). I just finished it at the Naval Reserve unit in Quebec city. It was the first Franco serial (QELA) of the "amélioré" (read enhanced) to be run out of Quebec. From what I...

I`m going on my "enhanced" CFPLQ next week in Quebec City, Naval reserve (Franco serial, Oct.14th to Dec.3rd) let`s see how it goes. 8 Days field phase in Valcartier towards the end of the course. I`ll post my impressions when I`ll come back! Berndawg: There will be 3 or 4 Construction...

Exactly! And the whole Hearth & mind thing is hard to win when something like collateral damage/civilian casualties happens. Although, I`ve no idea of the price range for Naval weapons, It sounds expensive!!! And nobody question the price/use/necessity of those weapons. Somebody, somewhere...

I`ve seen those in the States earlier this year....nothing new, but they look nice. And most fluids checks can be done from outside the vehicule (right behind the cab, driver`s side).. http://www.chrishodgephotos.co.uk/funpics/pixww/2002/2002dvd04.jpg They almost look like mini HL`s, looks...

Never drove one myself, but they get stuck and it`s a civvie truck painted green...Like Medtech said ,an Iltis would be a lot more fun to beat up...LUVW is nice also, but expensive... Jeez, I think I`d buy a Deuce before a Milcot....

Same here, My dates didn`t change a tad. March 17th-August 1st. We`ll see.Have a good one!

Same here, Thanks for the update. Keep us informed! If they extend some people (of the 2nd rotation) to be eligible for the MINUSTAH medal, it still doesn't cover people that were there from the beginning, before the MINUSTAH eligibility period. I'll still look at my MPRR to see if anything...

Exactly. I also got a signing bonus, the trade was "red" at the time. They no longer offer that signing bonus. It was $10 000 offered in 2 payments of $5000 (one after basic and the other the year after) and it was taxable. I got QL5A provisionnal status and my first hook after completion of...

Roger that, makes a lot of sense. I'm looking forward to go! :salute:

Thank you for taking the time to post all that info. I was expecting the environment to be a little bit more like "basic training revisited". I'm expecting the course to be challenging, maybe it is, but not in the way I was thinking...so not too much of the "inspections, ironing shirts & and...

Thanks for the replies! I'm Reg force & Land element (although my MOC could be considered almost a purple trade), that's why I was a little surprised to go there for my PLQ . I know the area, that's where I come from. Sounds like I'll be the tour guide Thanks for the tip, I won't bring my car...

Hi all! I got my message to go on my PLQ. It's an english course, but located at the Naval Reserve in downtown Quebec city. I wonder how it's like. Anybody here did their course over there? Thanks for the info, Delavan

Bonjour, j'ai été loadé sur le PLQ qui se donne à la réserve navale à Québec (bassin Louise). Y a t'il quelqu'un qui a fait son cours là-bas qui pourrais me donner un aperçu de ce à quoi m'attendre? Merci à tous!

I think one of the reasons behind asking the French to step up to the plate (from our point of view), would be to try to change Quebecer"s opinion on our contribution to the war in AFG. They are the most "against it" of Canadians, I think and to have the French joining in COULD change their...

Cèst vrai que c`est moins dur pour un Franco d`apprendre l`anglais (pour être fonctionnel dans son MOC). C`est just plate d`être souvent forcés à etre confinés à Bagot ou Valcartier ou St-Jean (le triangle franco), même si on a un profil billingue. C`est à ce niveau, où les gens qui veulent...

Not the best way to talk about this I agree. But I think she`s just pointing out that everybody should be able to run for power, not just a specific group.

C'est cela notre "belle province". Aucun respect pour l'armée. J'ai préferé Gagetown à ici. Au moins là-bas, le monde est pas surpris de voir des militaires...ici à Bagot, tu sorts au magasin en combats et tu te fais regarder comme cela se peut pas....

In the routine orders, you get the link toward all the needed documents to put your OT in. Maybe if you start to fill up the paperwork and book yourself a medical and all, they'll start to do something. I know here, 15 Nov is the deadline for this year's OT applications. So your unit is trying...
