Thats a good question.  I was skimming over the Superannuation Act the other day, and had recalled seeing some stuff to this effect, so I'll try to help out where I can.  As a disclaimer, I'd like to add I have no experience with this subject beyond what I've read and the documents I've linked...

True.  Engineering degrees, at least at the UofA, require 6 courses per semester (sometimes 7, but the seventh is always an hour a week lecture with two assignments).  I know several people who dropped down to 5 courses/semester to finish in 5 years, at the same course load as everbody else...

As a soon-to-be officer cadet, I found this idea a little disheartening when I first heard it mentioned.  Is it not possible for me to be a good officer because I've never spent any time in the ranks? Or will I always be treated with contempt because I wasn't ever an NCM?  I wish I would have...

Synonyms are words that have similar meanings n. Homophones are words that sound the same but have different spellings.

I'd choose to eliminate one general tax, rather than lower another.  Of course, that would depend on my income situation at the time.  If I was saving more money than I was spending, it would benefit me to have a lower income tax.  Right now, that isn't the case, so it really doesn't matter. ...

Ok, that makes sense. I was just reading through the OSP for SIGS, and was curious about how everything was organized at/around the troop/squadron level.  It states how my first posting as a Signals Officer should be something like a troop commander for a brigade signal squadron.  I was just...

I think bankruptcy would be a bad option, but I'm not sure.  Bankruptcy will look to them like you just run away from your problems.  If you confront the problem debt head on, and get a letter from them regarding the debt that indicates you and them have an agreement, it should be sufficient (it...

This might be a series of dumb questions, but what is the normal arrangement for a signals squadron and troop?  How many Sig Ops, or other positions are in such a troop and squadron?  Do the other trades (LCIS, ATIS, Comm Research) fit into this organization, or are they part of something else? ...

Thats correct, if you want to be considered for the fall DEO selection boards, you should start your application process now.  My application took about 8 weeks to go from actually applying to my file being sent for selection, so it does take time.  The AERE trade is one that is offered the...

Hmm, yeah.  I'm sure he knows the details about flight plans and how they work, just I don't.  I'll do a little research for my own puposes after I finish typing this.  He does carry an aircraft radio with him, so radio contact would be a logical solution.  I know in this latest incident (and...

Potential member.  A better answer for my situation would be "soon-to-be member".  I get sworn in in a little bit less than 4 weeks.

Hey, thanks, that clears things up a bit.  Also, just so we're clear, this post was out of my own curiousity, and I was not acting as an agent on his behalf, at all.  But thanks for clearing that up.  As well, he was going to go talk to the military police today sometime, and sort through the...

Ok, I guess yesterday my Dad decided to fly over Dundurn again.  He's a hot air balloon pilot in Saskatoon, so sometimes the winds happen to point south.  Fun stuff.  This sort of thing really makes the MP's happy. Now, as far as I'm aware, the airspace over Dundurn is Class F Restricted with...

Wow.  I had no idea that was the case.  Is it also normal for first time offenders for an incident like this to get away without a criminal record?  Thats the thing I don't particularly like.  I don't care if he gets time, community service is good enough, but I think it should be put on his...

Yeah, its a tough pill to swallow sometimes.  Even recruiters will "refuse to speculate" as to the length of time in many instances.  I was in the same position as you, asking the same questions as you, so I understand what you're going through. 

That isn't correct.  At least, not necessarily so.  First of all, selection depends on what trades he's applying for, which he didn't mention.  conan:  As I learned going through the recruiting process recently, its impossible to even estimate how long it will be before you're in basic.  It...

I know very little about what steps are taken, or about the idea in general, but I can provide a start: http://army.ca/forums/threads/487.0.html I don't know what else to suggest, as I don't have any other websites, I just found that using the search function.  As well, just so you know, most...

Hey, I've got some of these that I wanted to decipher as well.  Thanks for reminding me. I've got a similar situation (in regards to not understanding why ranks change).  On one line (all of these are during qualifying for different driver and mechanic things, as well as entries about which...

Oh, ok.  It obviously won't be the same as mine.  Anyways, good luck.

I'll be there.  Whats your course serial? Also, congratulations, especially on getting pilot.
