La verité est que les FC ne donnent pas la priorité aux anglophones pour apprendre le français si on travaille à une base anglophone comme Petawawa, et c'est le même pour les francophones d'apprendre l'anglais à une base français.  L'anneé passée j'ai demandé un cours de français 3 fois et...

J'ai remarqué qu'il y a une tendance ici à Petawawa parmi les francophones de bavarder en français et je crois que ça reduit la opportunité de la socialisation entre les francophones et les anglophones.  Sans doute c'est le même parmi les anglophones à Valcartier, surtout si on n'est pas...

Specifically the memo is a request for voluntary release.

I've read somewhere that once you've submitted a memo, you're supposed to get a reply within 14 working days.  I just can't find the reference (CFAO? DAOD?) for it.  Can someone help me out? 

To VR, I heard that the OC has to make a recommendation to the CO, who has to approve it along with the RSM and then that gets sent to Ottawa.  Who in Ottawa actually makes the final decision to approve the VR? I've put in my VR because I got a job offer from another federal government...

Yeah, I've seen the ads on TV quite a lot lately too.  I also heard one on the radio today (94.9FM French radio from Gatineau/Ottawa).

I think they should teach all the platoons (French and English) drill in both languages in basic training (at least the commands used most frequently in parades).

And what would this new environment be?  A Christian environment?  We cannot even define what a Canadian culture is because there aren't any traditions or customs that are unique Canadian.  There simply was not enough time for a Canadian culture to form because Canada hasn't been around for...

Julius Caesar 35% Unorthodox, 84% tactics, 27% guts, 75 % ruthlessness

That's exactly it, Al.  People think that because I'm Just a Private, then I probably don't know much.  But when people called the section, most often than not, the issue was referred to me to resolve...either the others in the section didn't know how to handle it, or it might be an issue that I...

I agree that the current evaluation system is ineffective.  It does not really accurately evaluate someone's performance.  I'm a private (been in for one year, excluding the time for basic training and QL3) and I'm not being arrogant here, but I must say I'm a damn good worker.  My section was...

Most of the lunch and dinner IMPs are all right, but the breakfast ones...Urgh!  :blotto:  The Omelette with salsa...terrible!  Who the hell eats omelette with salsa anyways? 

I'll try to look for one of those parking lots where I can park for the day.  Meters won't work for me as my appointment takes almost the whole day.  I won't be able to keep running out and feeding the meters. 

Hmm...sorry...what's DAPS?  That's not the same thing as accelerated promotion?

Hmm, if I leave at 0500  :boring:, would there be sufficient time to get there...?

The thing is I'm going to be driving in from out of town 2 hours away and I have to be at my appointment downtown by 0800. (Bank & Laurier)

I need to park there for the whole day on a weekday.

Does anyone know if there's public day parking available around the corner of Bank and Laurier in Ottawa?  If not, are there other parking spots available around there for the day?

It's slightly different on each base.  Single people can get their own rooms and share the bathroom with 3 others or more.  Room size varies too depending on the building.  Generally it's just a room with a bed, a desk, some closet space.  But then of course a sergeant will have a bigger room...

Right now, the items available at Logistik are limited...mostly just CF shirts, ties, tunic, socks...They don't go on your docs because technically you order them because you wore out your old ones.   So you can just throw those out.   But then of course if you order them for other reasons, you...
