    US to close fast food in Afghan bases - Timmies & Greenbean will stay

    You should have seen the lines when the fries came back -- good lord it was ridiculous!  Funny though, how all the fast food places on the boardwalk could get fries but none of the messes could!  ;D

    How long for a PMQ approval?

    Hi, sorry I haven't answered before now, and you may not like it much, but here I am... How long a pmq takes is dependent on a lot of factors...  different bases take different amounts of time.  If you have kids, that can affect it as well.  I know in 2006 in Borden, there was sometimes a 6...

    US to close fast food in Afghan bases - Timmies & Greenbean will stay

    My first trip over earlier in the year, Supreme wasn't nearly this bad, actually...  A lot of the stuff comes from Pakistan, and because of all the weather stuff going on there, they're running short of almost everything. For awhile there was no rice, no pasta, no veggies outside of cans, no...

    US to close fast food in Afghan bases - Timmies & Greenbean will stay

    I was complaining about pork neck as a joke.  I thank my lucky stars every freakin' day here that I joined the trade I did.  I have no complaints about kaf beyond the food.  And I've eaten at other places, DFAC's included.  If the herc breaks somewhere shady, I still have to get my rear out...

    For real, I don't know!  I had never heard of anyone eating pork neck before... Is it some strange delicacy I've never heard of?  Either way, I'm happily on the ground in the camp of the ice cream and wrap bar.  And humidity.  See you in the fall, Kaf!

    US to close fast food in Afghan bases - Timmies & Greenbean will stay

    Just as a public service, (I swear, I wasn't avoiding the messes,  :P) I tried out the KFC after work the other day.  I can't lie, it was better than the KFC in Trenton.  The Extra Crispy chicken meal was spicy and greasy and delicious.  Of course, everything is delicious after being in the...

    skydiving

    I did a bunch more jumps after my original post here, and a couple of summers ago, myself, my brother, my mom and my dad all jumped on the same day!  (Mom and Dad went tandem), so I thought that was pretty awesome. Originally it was just Ma, who's afraid of heights, who went, and then a really...

    CF Hair Regulations - Female styles

    I had the shaved head at basic -- bleh, not really by choice, but by stupidity.  One weekend near grad, I dyed my hair black, my staff didn't like it, so off it went!  Worst 8 bucks I ever spent on a haircut, hahahaha!  My hair's ridiculously thick, so it grew out standing straight up -- I...

    Lost - Missing Kit ( merged )

    This deals with yearly entitlements, so I'll ask it... A little bird once told me that I am entitled to (sports) bra reimbursement, to a tune of about 160$ a year, or 4 bras, whichever comes first?  I know they have to be sports bras, etc, but my questions are these: I heard a rumour once...

    Enrollment with scars [Merged]

    Just from my side of the picture, self-inflicted scars may not keep you out of the forces either.  But, they probably will ask you some extra questions, perhaps even send you for a psych evaluation -- they did for me.  It was easy.  They saw the scars, asked what they were about, I told them the...

    CF Hair Regulations - Female styles

    I would also like for the males to find out what the regs are....  My saga is over, today.  Turns out, here's what happened.  Almost a week ago, someone saw me walk by with double braids.  He thought that it looked wrong, so he went up my chain with a pee-pee slap for me.  A bunch (6, to be...

    CF Hair Regulations - Female styles

    When working around my engines, etc, I tied the two braids together and they went in my shirt. The not wearing braids with DEU's is actually in the ceremonial dress reg section... it states that only a bun will be worn with DEU's, so that makes sense.

    I thought the same thing at first, but then I was told that one braid was okay, two was not.

    CF Hair Regulations - Female styles

    Okay, I hate to beat a dead horse, but this has just come up recently for me, and I don't know what rights (if any) I have, or what I can do here. I'm currently deployed, and I was told today that I could not wear my hair in double braids, tucked back behind my shoulders.  After I asked to see...

    Petite army medic shoulders big role

    You'll do fine!  Sometimes it's easier to be small on basic.  The 6-foot wall is a challenge, just picture yourself as a monkey, hahaha.  I'm 5 feet tall in my boots, so I know where you're coming from.  ;D

    You Know You Are Or Were An Aircraft Mechanic If

    Bwahahahaha @ "normal aircraft"....  So Max, are you of the mindset that helicopters are so ugly that to fly, the earth just repels them?  ;D It's ok, I work on a flying dumptruck, so I can't really make fun of anything.
