1. A lot of the old hangars are being refurbished and the ones that aren't are closed to the public... I don't think any kids are going to be sneaking around on that part of base and if there are I believe the military member who is the parent should do a better job educating their kids of the...

- My brookfield agent Apparently it's because my first posting after basic I chose not to move my F&E  ???

She mentioned I can put a memo up through my CoC but at my unit that always takes forever I'll be gone by the time I hear anything, I'll give that a shot though thanks!

To make this brief, I am getting posted to a new unit in another province, I have a PMQ secured and ready to move in to. I was just told by my Brookfield agent I am not eligible for a DIT. She herself had no clue as to why I was not eligible and after speaking with her supervisor explained to...

I realize I am bringing up a dead thread here but I thought I'd touch on something really quick in here I would like to see others opinions on. In my very short time in the CF I have never had a run-in with MP's that has ended badly for me, but that being said I have had to deal with them FAR...

For starters, I'd be careful what you say on these message boards about your husband, there's only a handful of SQ courses starting up at any given time it wouldn't be difficult for somebody to recognize his situation etc. Second, in regards to your question, I have seen in the past while on...

Honestly I would consider yourself lucky... after spending 2 years here in Borden and seeing how completely slack and idle the BMQ here is in comparison to St-Jean, I would of much preferred a nice vacation in Ontario as apposed to my time in the Jean haha.

I agree, it seems the reserves would be your best opinion since you seem to be this concerned over your first posting.

My guess would be during war times, a lot of focus is put on the military in the media... at least more so than the already large amount.

Although I do agree total reliance on any electronic device is a bad thing, that "Mantracker" show is ridiculous. Watching people hide in bushes and trenches while they have a camera crew standing above them filming takes away what little credibility the show might of had. 

If you're concerned about the PT aspect take a look at the CF PT standards. These are the same for Reg force or reserves. http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/16007.0.html

It's hard to say what to expect because different units can be entirely different. I wouldn't be too worried about the crack of dawn pushups unless you are doing BMQ, most reservist units I know (not saying all of them) were pretty slack and didn't do PT at all. The reserves would be a good...

Will do

Just what I was looking for! Cheers

Hello, I just finished my QL3's and received my first posting, I will be leaving for Shearwater in the next month or so. I have a few questions, I am single, with zero dependents, I have applied for a PMQ through CFHA but have yet to hear anything back, a few people of told me in Halifax it is...

To be honest I'm shocked at the replys here, I can see where you're coming from and I think it's because most of you don't have the mind set of a 20-some year old fresh out of basic private. There is nothing wrong with photographing the memorials of fallen heroes in fact I encourage it, it's...

If you read his comment about the other photo he states he didn't know the soldier. Maybe I'm just seeing it in a different light... however moving the picture may be, I don't believe it belongs on facebook.

I was browsing facebook and came across a facebook profile The privates profile picture is him carrying a casket of a fallen heroe in CFB trenton. Am I the only one who finds this extremely disrespectful to have something like that as his facebook profile picture? As if he's proud of it? I...

Your POET is 6 or 7 months, and I believe the ACS QL3's are 10 months or so.

Hey there, Unfortunately since you are francophone you can most likely expect a pretty long wait until your POET starts, I have franco friends and it took them typically 3-4 months before they even started their POET, so assuming you pass POET that's another 6 months and then it could be even...
