Applying common sense...(OK, dangerous, I know)...How could/why would the PRes limit your ability to take advantage of this based on why you are going?  Another example that doesn't fall into the examples listed - say you are the PRes spouse/child of a RegF member posted on an exchange, or the...

Haven't dealt with Telus, but got good coverage from Bell in the Wainwright training area a few years ago.  A pleasant surprise, since coverage in Shilo training area (at the time) was extremely poor.  But yeah, their customer service sucks.

Right - and I was told that the $10 per month was only for the kids.  We only needed to pay for them to use the facilities.  For example - if we didn't buy the membership and came with the kids for public swim, we'd pay for them, but not for us.  Not sure whether we got bad info or the person...

I was in Borden till last summer, as a service couple.  We paid $10 per month for the kids to have a card (family membership), but they didn't give us cards, since we had military ID.  I asked the question outright if we (hubby and I) needed to pay, since we were debating whether we needed the...

Ironically - where I work, some of the civilians are more hung up on their "ranks" than us uniform-wearing folk.  Example - (forgive me if I flub the details, PS rank structure confuses me).  PG-5 has an ENG-4 working for him, but the ENG-4 says that they're the same "rank" and therefore...

OK - the time "12:01 AM Thursday" - that's Wednesday night/Thursday morning, right? In yesterday's paper, it said that there was a showing of "Get Smart" at 12:01 AM Thurs.  Just to be safe, I called the theatre to confirm.  The girl who answered the phone said, "no Get Smart doesn't start till...

Ahh, It's all coming clearer now.  Just returned from a ceremony here in my building, and through a very garbled PA system, thought I heard Gen Hillier talking about LGen Natynczyk and say "he's going to make an excellent CDS."  I thought "huh? did I miss an announcement?" So from the horse's...

Used to be entirely OJT until (I think) 2006.  Now it's a combination of Classroom at CFTDC in Borden and OJT.  As with all institutional change, there is still some misinformation out there, so if you ask around people may tell you it's OJT.  But there is now a classroom part of about 3 months...

It was very impressive, I must say.  With a good portion of the group turning at Bank to go back up the Queen Elizabeth Drive side of the canal, you could see red shirts lining both sides for a while! For the record - Gen Hillier promised to cheer for the Sens next year!!!!

Fargo Painful to watch, but for some reason it got some good reviews.  Didn't find it funny in the least.

Since you're still relatively early in your degree - check out the requirements for what type of degree you need to be Log.  I do know of one person who applied to be a Log O with a History degree and was told no.  She had to take the long way around - Supply Tech, then apply for Special...

I'll admit it - I "forgot" my daughter (age 5) last week!  She was playing at a friends house, I had to pick up the boy from Karate.  Told the friend's mom I'd pick the girl up on the way home from Karate.  Boy got in the van and proceeded to babble at me non stop about Pokemon, Chaotic, Bakugan...

I recall a news story a while back (couple of years?) about a mom who put the car seat (baby strapped in) on top of the car, buckled in the older child, then drove off, leaving baby on the roof of the car!  Baby was fine, in the end, but sheesh! 

Re pushups - I do "ladies" push ups most of the time.  I can do way more when I do them from the knee.  The point is to build the upper body muscles, not to strain your back, which we ladies suffer from with traditional pushups.  It all has to do with centre of gravity.  The guys centre of...

The different price is because the Toronto airport charges the taxis and shuttles a fee to pick up there.  Connections passes it on.  What I found unfair - the van gets charged one fee from the airport authority, but charges the fee to each passenger on board  ??? But I used Connections when I...

I had several conversations with medical staff one summer regarding a candidate on a QL2 for which I was the Crse O.  She could never remember which leg to limp with.  The staff basically said, "we can say that we can't find a medical reason for the pain, but we can't say she's not in pain." ...

You can function on the base/in the Mega in English, no problem.  If you decide this is a career move for you, there are neighbourhoods on the south shore that are primarily english, and you will be able to function pretty well there.  The commute from the south shore to St Jean isn't bad, about...

Also - not much call for guitar, but if you play a band instrument, lots of bases have a volunteer band, and many reserve bands will take RegF members on a volunteer basis. Here's a link:  http://hr.ottawa-hull.mil.ca/dhh/music/engraph/directory_e.asp?cat=5

It's a lose/lose sometimes.  I am in a "robber trade" as they are called.  There is typically only one position per year for DEO TDOs, and the prereqs are high - a masters and significant previous experience in adult education.  Competition is tight for that one DEO position and typically the...

Did you get copies of the paperwork?  I think I did when I filled out the application. We had this problem when we were both still PRes and my husband went on Class C.  OR didn't file the paperwork for PSHC correctly, then I broke my ankle only to discover that Sunlife was incorrectly applying...
