Moved to recruiting.

George, I am considering it but I do hate going to the MIR; I always feel like such a whiner.  I'm cold, I'm tired, my feet hurt.... ;D

Good idea, I'll start looking for one!  ;D  Good luck on your upcoming courses.

Yes, I tried all kinds of different insoles which made it worse actually since they decrease the space for my toes and cause even more squeezing and numbness.  This happened with my old boots and new ones I tried thinking it might have been caused from the old boots.  I used to wear them without...

In the last few years the Mk III's have really started to irritate my feet.  I don't know whether its a case of fallen arches or whatever but they cause my toes to go numb even after a few minutes of wear.  I switched to wearing the WWB all year long and I find them quite comfortable for...

Definitely a job I would not want.  It would take a special person to be able to do this every day and not be adversely affected.  Who in the CF does this job?  Not something I've really thought of before if there was a specific trade related to this in Canada. EDIT:  never mind, I just read...

For what it's worth, this morning on Citizen Q (Q104) seventy - some percent of callers thought it was ridiculous to remove it from the airshow.  I forget the exact percentage.  I was surprised that most showed some sense.

Just saw this one...actually reg force EME trades do small party taskings and that is all.  Makes one wonder why the discrepancy between the reg/reserve.  Too bad the units won't pay to send troops to regimental in Borden instead of part 2.

Actually, people go from the reg force to the reserves all the time;  especially upon retirement.  I did myself.  You would be a great asset to any reserve unit with your experience and training.  In fact, if you do your initial contract and decide to pursue a civvy career you would not be...

Raj, Info from last summer:  you work from 7:30 - 4:30 with every second Friday afternoon off.  Weekends off.  If you or anyone else on your course is having difficulty you may be required to come in a few nights here and there for extra training.  Make sure that if you are having difficulty...

Have you tried MEC??

Vern, I don't remember.  Was that the course where the civvies came in and wanted us to talk about ourselves?  I remember staring at each other and nobody saying a thing so she had to blat at us the whole time. :)

Vern, you just brought back some..ahem, wonderful memories.  Yes, it was quite the privilege to run downstairs to the pop machine where they had mixed pop come out with the little drop down cup.  We thought we were the cat's ass that day.  Ah, memories...

That's exactly what I would like to know.  Is there any more info?  Was it really deliberate?  I'd like to take that guy and...well, lots of terrible things. RIP to the brave equine

Cornwallis has definitely changed in recent years with the destruction of many of the buildings, etc.  Enough of it's still there to give me shivers though....

Sorry Matt, nobody had any time to go that far unfortunately.  Any comments on this ex??

We wouldn't pass on the right if you got the hell over.  ;D Speaking of funny names:  Bob Loblaw...now, that's hilarious.

Here's a pic of two of my critters.  I have a cat but she's a snob so I don't advertise her.  :) I love my dogs and don't know what I'd do without them.  Especially Marley, the brindle one on the left.

Perhaps Paracowboy might have the time to interject something here.  I think he has info on this subject.
