I was thinking of getting Nexus but wondering if it's worth the trouble given the 'Trusted Traveller' line... for currently serving military, is there any advantage to having Nexus?

I enrolled at 47, completed the training, and I wasn't even the oldest guy on BMOQ-L.  I'm still in, still grateful for the opportunity to serve.  Just stay in shape, listen, watch, learn and hydrate.  You can do it, Good luck

Just to muddy the waters a little, Sigs is a good fit for someone pursuing a degree in Software Engineering and some Signallers with 32 Signals have had the opportunity to do jump training with the QOR in the past.  That being said, this is rare. If you decide on Reserves, I strongly recommend...

Our Log O just picked up RCCS buckles.  Let me know if you don't find anything at the Mercury Shop -  I could get the name of the supplier.

That is entirely comprehensible... you just have exceedingly good taste :-) Have you ever noticed that all the nice things in the world begin with 'B'... beer, bagpipes, boats... :piper:

I'd like to see more of this, it looks smart

Any pictures?

Is it possible that the USN is under some heightened readiness state due to concerns with North Korea and China in in the South China Sea -- which is leading to more collisions?

Port side rear ... so the McCain must have been starboard and ahead of the other ship and hence right of way. Does anybody else think it's strange that at least two USN ships filled with sophisticated guidance systems have collided with freighters in the Pacific recently.  Could there be more...

How heavy are intra-team radios?  Are there currently any viable options for solar-charging batteries? It's crazy how much weight we expect a soldier to carry with the 522s.

36 is not too late - far from it.

By the way, there is a Signals display at Fort York this Saturday.  Good chance to see future colleagues in action, and ask questions, if you don't mind the drive into Toronto.  Check out www.vimyfoundation.ca for more information.

Got your PM and responded.  Good luck, be persistent!

DO IT. I'm a civilian senior manager in IT with 20+ years experience.  I joined the Army Reserve four years ago.  Army has been a great experience and I still have my civvy career.  You may find that the ACISS trade will complement your civilian work.  Many of the soldiers in my Regiment have...

Slight derailment -- can anyone compare BMOQ-A in Meaford vs Gagetown?  I did Meaford and found it intense... but have no experience with Gagetown to compare against. Just curious,

That is a true sailor's Freudian slip if I ever saw one...

Any news on BMOQ(Army)?  Any changes?

Is there any news on DWAN on that staff check? Jordan, Good skills, there's a lot of work and the Army is amazing.  Good luck with your application!

Does anyone know if the move to PWGSC has changed any aspects of pension eligibility?  My understanding is that it is not possible to transfer from a civilian (i.e. non-government) pension plan to the CAF pension or otherwise buy into the CAF pension. I'll investigate myself -- just thought...

Good link, thanks.  The articles talks about "970 controls".  Does anyone know if the USN has published the control statements?
