That gun looks to be in a green camo.  Was it used in the army for another purpose prior?

Right on, thanks for the info.

The friend I heard if from was on the Toronto and should have been one of the guys that went over board apparently, but had to do something else; I don't know where else we would find out.

I heard through the grape vine, but don't quote me, that a couple of the guys that fell overboard were just OD's without their NETP completed.   If they had their NETP, maybe things would have been a little different.   If they were or wern't, do you guys agree that people can sail without their...

The chunk of change we get will help out a bit.  A good idea is to put it into an RSP or at least invest it or pay off some dept.  Just think of it as money you never had and that you've done without.

No you do not need a car at basic.  Depending on whether you live close to St-Jean or not will  decide if you drive your car there or not.

If they were awarded them, shouldn't they already have them?  And if they have passed on, then maybe ask some relatives where they might be.

I am, and I'm sure most others in the CF right now are aswell.

It's probably best to get the surgery done and then reapply with your statement saying you do not have asthma.

It's good to see another tech here, PO.  :)

It should give you something  :)

I ment to say 2 years up there, I changed it now.  ANd no, we are all the hot ones.  Operator is slack job..  just sittin' there breaking things.  "Hey tech, my monitor wont work"  "What's wrong with it?" "I don't know, just wont show anything" Tech walks up and turns up the brightness...

lol...   the operators get paid just as much.   They got the spec 1 pay to...   just for retention reasons!   What's the training for operators?   6 to 8 monts?    Techs = 2 years minimum.

The seas can get rough sometimes, but if it's too dangerous, you wont be out fixing something in it, unless it's a must.

yes you do get time on the shore when you are at shore.  on average you'd stay docked up for 2 to 3 days.  For ships, the seasons don't really matter.  And all ships are not all perfect, each have their own faults (no it's not falling apart).

It's a good trade to get into.  It's tough on the schooling though, you have to be good at your math and physics.  No you are not always working in dark places 24/7, but there are times when there isn't a lot of light.  Everyone on ship will do cleaning stations, it just all depends on what...

Not is personel pay, maybe in the budget; but, the forces has been given extra money in the last few years and this year.  I don't think it will ever be enough. :-\

We just got a raise this year  :warstory:

I'm a NET 285 :)  What do you want to know?  I've been in under a year, but I'm sure I can answer some questions.
