One other point to add, a "Fancy Dress Ball" is a British way of saying costume party.  Since most of the QR&O's were borrowed from the Brits back in the day, and then grew to the truly Canadian document we have today, its likely that the language has not changed. A translation from legaleses...

why do I have a sinking feeling in my stomach (and why did my wallet suddenly perk up?  :nod:oh yeah, overtime a-commin)

I have heard similar rumours and we have troops on the launchpad.  I hope it happens, so many troops in limbo at my unit. Best bet, make sure that your chain of command knows your availability and no move before timing(how much time you need from the phone call to getting on the bus) I would...

From someone that spent way too much time at LFWA-TC as a reservist augment, it all comes down to treatment of staff.  My first few years (2001-2004) were crap. No support, minimal recognition and who was the duty staff on every weekend?? the "Mo bitch" It got better in the later years, but...

From the comments: We're comin' to getcha, 1%....don't make any long range plans. Montreal is the Tunisia of an N. American SPRING Wow, delusion is the new apathy.  Good lord, if only these commenters knew how good we have it here.  A North American Spring????? really? Riots over tuition...

This is great, as I just sent off a letter to my Compensation advisor to look into it a tad deeper.  I am one of those Reserve B&C commandoes up till I got a real job with the Gov't.  If anybody from the FB pay class has any history or precidents, private me please. Cheers

Not to get off on a flame war, but before you bash someone on a board, make sure you have the ability to back it up.  I am speaking from experience.  Lots of it.  Read some of my previous posts. Lets break down your comments to me shall we???? "BTW. bcbarman. What do you know of my...

As of last Wednesday, we will have a BMQ running weekends in Victoria, a handful of BMQ(L) in Wainwright and a rumour of a BMQ locally. That is this it for this summer. Summer courses flip faster then the Vancouver Canucks' fans.  If $$$ is all you want, quit the reserves now and get a civvy...

As this thread has veered WAAAY off track (you think we were talking on a cell phone while browsing or something) lets call it bad for anyone to be distracted when driving.  Hell, France is going to manditory breathalizers in the cars, in the UK, its a fine to eat and drive and lets not even...

Officers are responsible for what happens to their PC.  If they are in a incident (PCMVI, it even has its own acronym) its their ass reporting to brass.  As for a 2 person car, the pro's and con's are back and forth forever.  A 2 officer car is safer and more "teamwork" but it has been shown...

When I was at the CFRC, I saw it all.  We did institute a dress code for being sworn in when a new recruit (a Component transfer, cpl none the less) was wearing sweatpants. As for the CFAT, look in your closet.  If the best you can do is torn jeans and a Che Guerra t-shirt, consider investing...

You beat me to the Albino Rhino comment from Earl's.  Heard it on the radio this AM and thought.... Have I not been drinking Albino Rhino Beer for the last..... 20 YEARS!!!  Is this person new to Canada, or just had her mortgage rate increased and needs $$ from somewhere? Either way, pretty...

Ahhh, Court.  now that right there is the reason for a LOT of LEO's overtime.  10 hrs of paperwork and prep for one DUI with criminal charges, and that's if the officer is good at doing them! If the laws were more streamlined for the prosecution side, we would have less paperwork, details...

Gonna make this a double edged sword.  Below are the calls that were called in to Chatam, On police department last year.  Remember, every call has to be checked out.  If there was less nonsense calls, there would be less need for officers to respond, less need to have as many on the road, and...

Where the CIC officers do have the least taxing of recruitment standards, they do have the most in-depth interview and background check of anybody joining the CF (personally witnessed when I was with CFRC) The 1 hour interview is a no holds barred in depth chat with a specifically trained MCC. ...

I don't buy it, I'd test it anyway..... Now if it was written in spanish,  well  :-X might turn into  :o

Customs see white powder all the time.  Coke looks very distinctive, and a big tub of it would be so rare the drug smugglers would not even think to try something that blatant.  Declare the stuff at the line, make it nice and obvious in your bag, and for god sake, no matter how you may take...

We did Taal, it was... OK.  Best to book with a day tour company and let them do the planning, the perception is that it will be more expensive, but the BS and nickel and diming that took place over there... wholy craaap!  The boat vendors will push you around, and once your on the boat, they...

I just got back, and had a good time.  Boracai is well worth the trip. Bit pricier then the rest of the country, and lots of peddlers, but that is to be had anywhere.  If you scuba dive, or want to learn, well worth the trip.  Check out Victory Divers, good instructors that will give you a bit...

In regard to the Nexus application, do not read too much into it, trust me, I have firsthand knowlege. As for the Ipad scanned passport, all a traveller has to do is satisfy the examining officer that the person is who they claim to be, that their purpose of trip is legitimate and that they...
