    Kingston thread - merged

    Kids? Ages? The English public school on base is scheduled to close this year, with a new one opening up in the east end, if that makes a difference.  English Catholic is almost next door to where the new school is going up.  French public is on the base, don't know exactly where the French...

    Individual Learning Plans (ILP) [Merged]

    I worked in the same section as the ILP people last year, shared an office with one of the staff officers who sees ILP applications. I can't comment specifically about PPL, but they were dealing with another situation (and I forget the details) where an application was denied because it didn't...

    What Really Happened Aboard Air France 447

    The other thing I am interested in - there is one mention of CRM in that analysis (crew resource management).  One mention explicitly, and other mentions about their communication in general.  The other time I heard CRM discussed was with the "Miracle on the Hudson" and the article I read...

    Got a milnet colored screen in Army.ca forum...

    Chrome on Windows 7 here, btw. Now it keeps flipping me to milnet.ca, even when I force it to army.ca.  Everything is grey, not just the main screen.

    Got a milnet colored screen in Army.ca forum...

    That is weird.  Those are the quotes I'm getting too. Edit - OK, not consistent.  The latest quote was Winston Churchill.  But a surprisingly high number of "odd" quotes.

    Question for the Pipers or CF Musicians

    Here's a good website - http://www.canadianscottishregiment.ca/index.php?LIMIT= Midi files of all of their marches are there, plus pdfs of the music. I admit that I haven't heard the Vice Regal Salute played by a pipe band.  But I have heard the General Salute (often) that is there. The...

    Lord Strathcona Horse Artillery?

    In spite of the article on the  LdSH(RC) Society website saying so, it wasn't the "RCHA Band," as there is no such thing.  Likely was the "RCA Band." http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/rca_band/pages/about.html ;D

    RMC Band

    Ah, forgot about the pipes and drums. My advice above works for the Brass and Reed band (practice snare and mallets). Snare drumming in a Pipe and Drum bands is similar to snare drum in a Brass and Reed band.  Different drum, but basically the same techniques. I know people that play in both...

    RMC Band

    Former CF musician here, but not RMC. I taught junior/high school band, and although I'm not a percussionist myself, I have coached my students for auditions for provincial and regional honour bands. So my advice is going off the idea that the RMC band will follow the same principles as other...

    A place to discuss Jack Layton's Legacy objectively

    The event has bee changed now. Originally the title of the event had "Highway of Heroes" in it.  That's the part that is wrong. 401, Macdonald-Cartier Freeway, sure. Not the Highway of Heroes.

    A place to discuss Jack Layton's Legacy objectively

    I don't know where else to post this, but this is just wrong. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=239960959372957 A Facebook event, rallying people to mark Jack Layton's journey down the 401, by gathering on the overpasses dressed in orange, waving Canadian flags. It is not an NDP...

    Medical Release ( merged )

    A couple of things to ask about - you may be entitled to benefits under these: Vocational Rehabilitation for Serving Members - once the doctor signs off on the medical release, you can arrange a placement for up to 6 months (CF pays your salary and benefits) and you gain work experience in a...

    NCM Subsidized Education Plan (NCM SEP)

    There is a complete list, but it's on the DWAN only. Might be on the internet side of the system, but I couldn't find it.  The institutions for AVS are BCIT, NAIT, SAIT,  Canadore College, Centennial College and CÉGEP d’Édouard Montpetit - École nationale d'aérotechnique (ÉNA) from what I can see.

    Obligatory Service in the CAF

    If you're referring to NCM-SEP (Non Commissioned Member Subsidized Education Plan) that's not available to Infantry Soldier. Only very specific trades qualify for that program, and it's directly related to the trade (technical school/college). Not a general education like ROTP. Edit - to change...

    Posting location questions

    Occam was posting while I was, and I messed up the editing. None of the Air Force projects are at Louis St. Laurent - I just spent 3 years there, all Army and Navy in that building. There is a building just off Rideau downtown (Cumberland rings a bell)? That's where some of the projects are...
