Bojangles, As far as I know the military will still pay to have your furniture and effects moved from home to your first posting.  Although, there is a limit on how much they'll move, esp. if you're single.  I don't know about a car/truck but they did move my motorcycle on the moving truck with...

Well, there were some QL5 qualified troops that did gate duty throughout Arcon last summer and that's ALL they did.  I don't have much sympathy for people with only SQ doing GD.  Unfortunately, this is not uncommon where troops are told one thing and end up doing another. 

Moving this to the CSS Medical forum where, hopefully, you can get some answers.

I'm not a big fan of horror movies either.  The reason:  I watched a movie called The Entity when I was around 12 or so.  It was supposed to be based on a real story and it scared the living shit right out of me.  I still think about it and shiver.  Not to go too far off topic but the scariest...

I've read about the Death Race before, quite amazing esp. in that heat.  Grand Cache is high but it is at the beginning of August!  For those interested in endurance races try some adventure racing.  It usually consists of some sort of boating (canoe/kayak), ropes course...

These are exactly the reasons why I don't use nails unless absolutely necessary.  I always use robertson screws even with the higher cost.  The guys at the local hardware store think I'm off my rocker but I've had to remove too many nails and I hate it.  Robertson rules!!  ;D

Dave, Been there, done that but with plywood subfloor with three million nails in it.  Luckily, the snap laminate floor should be a breeze to put down.  We've done most of our big house ourselves with it.  Just remember to leave the gap around the edge of the walls (VERY important) and start...

I don't think security containers is actually closed to reservists but its a hard course to get in the reg force, therefore, next to impossible for reservists.  Mr. Nyitray (sp??) used to teach this course.  Know if he's still at the school?

They were at the top of the list.   If you read on the very next sentence states: "On top of all this, their main concern is the accomplishment of their duties, including patrolling the perimeter of the Kandahar base, clearing minefields, searching for Al-Qaeda and Taliban members still hiding...

When we travel through urban areas we have our bolts in, mags out.  We have done training before in small towns with bolts/mags in with little old ladies walking by on the sidewalk staring at us.  Very strange environment to be in as we are so used to being hidden away in the field most of the time.

Sorry, I don't have a clue regarding living in/out in Gagetown.  X Royal makes a good point, people have to be ready to make the committment to the pet for the span of their life.  Since you have your pet already you have to make sure you make arrangements for when you are unavailable.  Don't...

Usually, depending on your trade, you can live out once you get to your first posting.  So, you will have to finish your QL3 course and show up at your first base.  What trade are you going anyway?  Some of the infantry will have a six month rule of living on base after being posted.  Sure, lots...

Officially, there are no pets allowed in the barracks.  Unofficially, I know a few people who kept small creatures (a few fish, a frog) in the locker during inspection and out during regular hours.  Depends on where you are posted mostly.  If you live out you can certainly have all the pets you...

What would you suggest for training of the support trades that would be needed for this new unit?  Would they be required to do the same initial course as the CA personnel or simply qualify on a jump course, for example?  Also, hence the discussion of whether the CF needs multitudes of jump...

Also, B Class employment isn't written in stone nor are courses.  They may cancel any of these at any time, even if you show up at another base for it with your route letter in hand.  It's happened, just a heads up.

Ammo Tech is no longer a direct entry trade.

Bojangles, whether or not you are mixed with males in garrison or not, be prepared to share your tent/hootch/modular/truck with males.  It is common practice in the field to mix males/females.

Just a caveat on kitty sleeping pills from someone in the vet profession.  How old are your cats for starters?  There are different types of sedatives available for cats and, depending on their age, different safety ranges as well.  If you can possible swing it keep the cats unsedated.  If they...

Mike, I definitely think this is a good idea as I see you've split off the medical side.  Great to have an area specific to certain trades if enough traffic warrants it.  Now we just need a sub board for weapons techs only; that would make me SO happy.  ;D
