Welcome home everyone! To say the entire country is watching and praying for you all, including the families, would be an understatement.    :salute: potato

When his superiors are slack and his supervisors are slack, that doesn't leave much left now does it? What hasn't changed over ten years is that a few military members come home and whine to their spouse/partner/housemate/roommate/mommy whatever; they in turn repeat it without giving any...

You have a point, but I think over the last 20 years we have seen a gradual feminization of our society. Our school system doesn't want to make any kid feel excluded, so kids who shouldn't be are in the regular stream; maybe it works but not in my experience. In sports everyone gets a medal...

As usual I will play the jerk, but I have to say that it sounds like your mate may also have a slight case of "inflated self importance". Your posts constantly talk about how slack everybody is under him and all his supervisors are useless, while he is Super Sailor.  Everyone I knew who had this...

Makes sense, thank you Kincanucks. potato

Kincanucks, Would it be prudent to ask Charlottetown to forward my med docs there right now? Transfer of documentation can be slow at times, and I'm quite sure they wouldn't let me hand carry them. Thank you potato

<Background> First, I am applying to re-enter reg force, but not a bypass. Second, we are moving to Kingston in the near future (1-3 months).Third, my old medical docs are here in PEI. Fourth, I did my CFAT and medical (need doctors letter, haven't gotten it yet) in May of last year, however my...

And I quote you "I just don't trust recruiters or the staff at St. Jean..thanx for the help in advance." You should defend what you said or admit you screwed up, but don't try to weasel out of what you said just because some people called you on it. That's just gutless. . potato

Yes I will add something. Kincanucks is a recruiter so don't bother asking for others to guess or muse or add uninformed opinions. Kincanucks is wired in on recruiting issues, everyone else that added anything on your question is just noise. potato

10 years and 7 months (who's counting!) after I took FRP my only close friends are still those I met and served with in the Navy. Friends come and go, but you keep your wingers around forever. potato

Oooo, are they gonna luv you in the military!

End of story, thank you Kincanucks. Close 'er up.

I miss the 10 year limit to get a by-pass by a few months, but was told they may count time spent on supp reserve, which I elected when I got out.  Anyone aware if it is true or not. Yes, I did a search but it either is not there or I am dumb. Take your pick. Thanks in advance. potato

Rumors around Borden (yes again) concerning rolling SQ into Basic, which will become about 13 weeks. Any thoughts?  Yes I know how the rumor mill works (in fact I was once cleared to rumor) but sometimes the rumors turn out to be factual. potato

Many, many moons ago I was attending training, my children (was a single parent at the time) were home with my girlfriend. I explained my situation to my instructors and also got the base chief on side - small base.. They allowed me to live off base while in training as long as I maintained a...

VR's for weak reasons was explained to me by the Seargeant Major I dealt with when I wanted to quit. My brother was having emotional problems at the time (see..a weak reason). Long story short, the SM says to me "I got 8 brothers and sisters, if I ran to them every time they had a $%#&*^%...

It'll be what you make it; dress nice, chin up, chest out, be proud of yourself. And the first time you feel like running home from BMQ (at some point lots do), remember how proud you felt at your swearing in. Good luck to you  :salute: potato

Nah, that's not a shortcut...why bother with a piddling MP tho, go straight to the source...Gen Hillier, query his office. I'm sure he would be happy to accomodate someone trying to circumvent the process. WARNING The above is purely sarcasm. potato

Kinda early to adopt an attitude like that isn't it? During the swearing in of two different family members at different times we were given the opportunity to ask any questions, were shown a video about what the recruits were in store for and watched the swearing in and signing. We were also...

My wife is on BMQ in Borden right now and she is 35; she is having a blast, and there are several who are older. I am going in the New Year and I am 43. Don't sweat it! When I went through the first time in '86 I was one of the oldest ones at 23...times have changed
