    Who is all waiting for selection board results?

    Thats BS man, I'm sorry to hear this.  They obviously want to fill Navy positions at the moment, crappy they are pressuring you into it.

    Visiting Esquimalt

    Thinking of heading over to Esquimalt October 23/24th.   Anyone know if they provide lodging for R&R on base?   If not, how about a cheap place to stay while I'm in town - even a hostel would be fine as long as its reasonable. DME

    The CFS Alert Merged Thread

    Don't kid yourself man, CFS Alert absolutely *is*a unique exception.  If you've been there you know what I'm talking about.  And I highly advise anyone with an adverse reaction to inhaling cigarette smoke to find the policy out prior to being shipped there. When I was there, just under two...

    The CFS Alert Merged Thread

    At CFS Alert!??  Amazing!  When I was in Alert they had nothing remotely like this - there was HVAC of course, but that only recirculates the air into each room.  When did all the special rooms with air systems go in?

    The CFS Alert Merged Thread

    I understand a few years ago a fellow raised a stink about the "indoors only" smoking policy at CFS Alert and it was changed.  Because if not theres no way in hell I'm going back there to expose my lungs to that crap.  Anyone been to Alert this year can fill me in on the latest? DME

    Mike, The Message Icons

    I use IE 6.0 and also get the same database error message, have been seeing it for the past two days or so but just thought it might have been that something was just being worked on.

    Any other Engineers waiting for selection committee results?

    I don't need any courses, I'm fully qualified.  (and yes, I still waited that long, amazing!).  I'm hoping to find out where I'm posted this coming week, if all goes well. DME

    Any other Engineers waiting for selection committee results?

    Hey, found out today I got selected by the selection committee.  Don't know when or where I'll be posted, but hopefully within the next four weeks at the most I'll know. Chimo! and good luck to those who are also waiting. DME

    CF cellphone plan

    My wife and I are tired of paying an average of $110 (including taxes, 6.95 charge, call id etc.) for our two cell phones.   We are with Rogers and our two-year contract is up in November so we are looking for an alternative plan, or an alternative provider. I do not want FIDO as there canadian...

    Credit Check Superthread- Merged Topics

    You can't have debt when you join?  I agree with you, 9K is nothing really compared to the debtload most families have (not including mortgage here).  I have almost that in a personal line of credit from my tuition and cost of living for 10 months on my ELTT course.

    Ombudsman's Probe into Canadian Forces Recruiting and Training Backlog.

    Not-so-funny thing is the Ombudman issued a press release in 2002 almost exactly the same, complaints about CF recruiting.  Things haven't improved since if its back in the news again, so who here thinks it will improve THIS time around?  Honestly, not trying to bitch, just asking who thinks...

    Ombudsman's Probe into Canadian Forces Recruiting and Training Backlog.

    It amazes me when guys complain they've been waiting months when I've been waiting years.  I've even heard of one guy who posts here who waited five years before he got in.  Months is not that long in military years.

    Basic Training Primer >> DOs and DON'Ts

    I disagree.  If someone takes the initiative to actually research what they are doing, be it basic training, entering a new project, etc.  that shows intelligence and initiative.  I would hope the CF would encourage their troops to prepare as much as possible for whatever they are undertaking.

    Do our "top three" choices mean anything really?

    Interesting information, thanks guys (and I was refering to the top three choices for postings, not trades, sorry for any confusion). The trade I've applied for is purple, and I'm hoping to get posted to an air base for my first post.  Don't know what my chances are, but I'm going to give it a...

    Any other Engineers waiting for selection committee results?

    I was merit listed about 26 months ago.  I guess 642 doesn't have many positions open.  I would have thought 043 would be a trade that wouldn't wait that long, hope you guys hear some good news soon.

    Get a weird message when I try and add a link to your site

    I'm assuming the site name is the part where you add a name for the site, not the site address.  I was typing in 192 AEF Abbotsford, B.C. - I can't figure out what would have caused a problem, maybe the apostrophe? DME

    Get a weird message when I try and add a link to your site

    I get this message: Please enter A valid Site Name. Possible Hack Attempt!! 24.87.22.69 Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) It freaked me out a bit, whats up with that?  Is it that the site name doesn't allow special characters? DME
