When they sent me through CFLRS, we did have a few etiquette classes. Had a little blue book from the 1950's as its basis. We tore it apart in our critique. Mind you, my (former) engineer buddy and I had many a funny moment quoting "Bloggins, you do not drink port with your soup."

Agreed. And just so everyone knows; "F'n Wook" is NOT my name on other websites. ;D

Gents, Thanks very much. The info is appreciated. Wook

Just had a brief on this at a SCAN seminar. Sounds like a great program, the business "bootcamp" that they are doing at the universities is supposed to be topnotch. Along with the help they do in developing your business plan, you also have access to up to $45,000 in low-interest loans for...

I've been searching for a program like this since I first read about it about two years ago now. I've seen reports about programs in the Ottawa valley and one in Manitoba somewhere. Does anyone know/have any links for existing programs? I am specifically looking to see if my own dog can be...

Most trades do their Ph3 during the summer with Ph4 immediately after. RMC or not has nothing to do with it. Many DEO's are in their 30's through 50's, so this is a very subjective statement. About the only thing you get a headstart on of DEO's or Civy U ROTP at RMC is you get most of your...

I have spoken with the priority hire list guru here and we have no solid new info, but only some educated guessing (otherwise known as "rumours"). There is some investigations ongoing as to how to "legally" fit the medically released priority hire list back into a semblance of working vs the...

Just got a lengthy email from H2H lol How they are changing to better respond to what we are looking for, etc etc. I'm not going to knock it just yet, I have registered and filled everything out afterall, but the number of successful applicants is a bit disheartening. I would like to know how...

Re: the CBC article on the PSC somehow expanding the Priority Hire List (http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2013/04/27/pol-veterans-affairs-to-expand-program-for-hiring-injured-veterans.html) Has anyone heard anything else on this? No one else in the MSN seems to have picked it up  ::)...

Do you have the DWAN link for that? The excellent search engine that we possess is not giving me any joy.

Lol absolutely not!! I need it as much as the next guy, but seriously, do you need to bring your capachino (sp?)maker to the field? Seen it, don't laugh. Ever want to hear a 10K TQG bog down, there's your culprit. A 5K will run everything you need. The tassimo can stay home.

Well of course there is an entire gov't department for this stuff.. Thanks very much, that's exactly what we need. Fighting with the powers that be on using heaters (we keep blowing fuses and pissing people off lol). We hit 10* celcius this morning, little chilly for an office. It's warmed up...

Ok, not sure where this should go, but this will be good to start. I am trying to find refs for working conditions; specifically ambient temperature in garrison (if such exists). I've gotten some stuff from the Safety Digest and I am currently going through the applicable collective...

I have been pondering this for awhile. It seems that every few years our power requirements go up a couple notches. Not because we necessarily need the power, but because the power is available. The amount of money we spend on power generation is astounding, especially if you look at the CA as...

That's interesting. Now, to play devil's advocate kinda sorta, does that result in any kind of slow down wrt waiting for responses or clearance to look at files? And does this really stop the higher levels briefing the minister and DMs? I do not believe that the ground level workers ever...

The info you have been given is incorrect. DRMIS is now being taught on all QL3 courses as a 3-day package at the end of the course. Has been that way for this entire fiscal year at least. There are 3 QL3's slated to run in Jan '13 (15 Jan - 15 Mar 13) with DRMIS 18-20 Mar 13. The rest of the...

The UT selection process hasn't changed in recent years, unless something very new is coming down the pipe (which is always possible), I can't see the basics of it morphing too drastically. As with any highly competitive OT competition in the CF, there are far more applicants than there are...

And here I was thinking I had skipped my meds yesterday or something. Could have sworn I made posts lol Good to know it's the system and not me  :Tin-Foil-Hat:

The H2H program at it's heart is an agreement with the unions in order to capitalize on the skills sets that we bring to the table. The trades are hurting, and will be for the foreseeable future. This is a good way (IMHO) for them to build their numbers and satisfy industry needs all while...

My letter is on my pers file. Still there last time I checked, buried in the annals of history that barely fits in an envelope anymore lol. As for the uparmour, never seen a cougar with any lugs. Grinded and welded my fair share of them in Edmonton, but that was mostly for Kosovo in the old...
