I didn't see this posted anywhere else.  Sorry if it's already here. So sad... Shared in accordance with Copyright act thing. From the Winnipeg Free Press Article Link

Consider the bandwidth issue - this site just came online today, and millions of Canadians are chomping at the bit to get registered.  No doubt the website is having trouble keeping up.  Seems to be working, just very busy.

My husband is in that boat too.  He was in Bosnia in 2000-2001 in Banja Luka, which was a British camp.  Last time he tried to donate (shortly after returning) the nurse sent the question up to higher and they ruled that it counted as time spent in England, since the cooks/food were all...

Also ran the 5K (I was the one in the white shirt that said "Army Run!"  ;D).  What a great event!  Extremely well organized, lots of volunteers around. Well done to the organizers!  Looking forward to next year.

There's also a Paris, Ontario... Few years back a Winnipeg radio station got blasted for false advertising for offering a contest to go see the Superbowl in Miami. Turns out the prize was a trip to a Superbowl party in Miami, MB...winner didn't read the find print!

I already had IUD when I joined the RegF (inserted by civi doc), told the med staff about it at the CFRC.  No issues.  Later had it removed (my choice) by the military medical system, again no issues.  I didn't deploy with it, but I can't see that making a difference really.  I think the risk...

My kids watch "Prank Patrol" on TV.  For those who don't have kids - it's a show where a kid (age maybe 10-15) gets the show's help setting up a prank for a friend or family member.  Some are quite elaborate. My 7-yr-old talks a lot about "pranking" his sister or us.  We've had lots of talks...

Not that it helps with the nasty remarks - but another "happy thought" Mu husband left for Bosnia when our son was 19 days old.  In fact, our son was born 5 weeks early, so he was supposed to be gone for the birth.  We got lots of "wow, can't believe he left you" kind of comments  ::)  And then...

Also, babies and toddlers have a way of silently removing them as you drop them at day care!

When you're on parental leave, you're subject to two types of rules - the military and EI.  The EI rules won't let you work or go to school (full time) while on parental leave, and in order to be on parental leave with the military, you also have to be following the EI rules, so I think it is a...

I had day surgery at the Civic a few months back and the OR was a CF OR.  Doc was a contractor, but the nurses and I think the anesthesiologist were military.  There was a CF medical hat badge over the door, even!  It was integrated into the day surgery unit, but that OR was for the CF.

I think that Rideau Centre has stopped taking new monthly customers, cause of the demolition of one of the garages.  And if I remember correctly, the daily rate went up to $18 when the construction started.  Bus is probably the way to go, unless as others have said, you don't mind walking a...

I know someone who did nursing through ROTP, and already had a BA.  In general principles, you can't redress something until it's actually been denied - if she was told "I don't think you can" then she should hunt down someone who knows and get the right answer.  I'll second TDO and PSO as...

While not explained fully in the article, there was a statement in there about commanders learning how to use the military justice system as a discipline tool.  There has been learning curve for a few years.  Some posters have already commented about the "old days" when they used to charge...

Int Op - "purple" trade.  Doesn't matter what uniform colour you wear, the training/job is the same.  Experience you get along they way will influence things, as it will for other trades. Int O - environmental.  Different training for each environment.  There is a core portion then an...

I wanted to point out a statistical concept - correlation vice causation. What the original poster has noted is correlation.  That does not necessarily imply causation. He has noticed that (in his opinion) a large number of wives of service members are unfit upon arrival at CFLRS...

This one was in my neighbourhood - the local "freebie" paper had a big write-up on it.  Printed the victim impact statements (from the parents, little girl was only 5, she was kept out of the courtroom).  Poor little thing is upset, cause the whole thing upset the guy's wife (her babysitter). ...

Ahh yes, but some parts of the MPRR aren't changeable by the OR.  I had three problems with my MPRR on my CT - one the OR could fix (I forget even what it was), 2nd problem:  they sent info off to somewhere else (base OR, I think) to get my CD info fixed, and third: my previous FT paid svc...

Ah - that's clear, then.  The "vacation" thing wasn't so much a concern, but I would have thought that dependents should be included.  Makes more sense now.  Thanks.
