I just talked to the clerk from the Orderly Room and he told me I won't get ration remits when I go on leave, only if I am TD or FOA.  So there is no Way I'm going to pay out of my pocket for rations when I go on leave next week since I'm getting deducted for it already!  >:(

Yes, I got my leave pass stamped at the police station back home.  

But you'll have to turn in your card to get it deactivated, right?  I mean, when I went on leave last Christmas and I didn't eat at the mess for 3 weeks, I didn't turn in my card and I was still deducted the full amount for rations that month. 

Deductions for rations right now is about $365/month, for board...depends on what kind of quarters you got...right now I'm in a double room and I pay $75/month.  You can opt out of rations and pay for what you eat.

I currently live in single quarters on base (CFB Petawawa) and I have deductions for my rations at the mess hall every month.  I've been told when I go on leave, I can't use my ration card anymore and I will have to pay for my meals if I want to eat at the mess hall.  Is that true?  It's not...

I'd say 5km usually takes about 20-25 min, but there are always those who go faster and others who run slower...

You have to write a memo and a short autobiography.

But it's still possible, right?  I mean, it's not prohibited or a chargeable offense or something, right? 

What about an officer and an NCM when they're not in each other's direct chain of command?

I'm paying about $75/month in a room with 2 beds.  I think it's more expensive if you are in a single room, i.e. have the room all to yourself. 

36 months to get the first hook?  But it only takes four years to get your corporal rank?

I'm in the Reg Force.

How long does it take for a private to get the first hook?  I've heard 1 1/2 years and 2 years...

I went through the Reg Force trade training, but I assume it's similiar in the reserves.  For Supply Tech QL3, you mostly do everything on the computer...you'll learn to use the MIMs system, stocktaking, issues and receipts, inventory, warehouse stocking system.  Aside from that, you should also...

For NCMs who become officers, do they still go through exactly the same officer training as civilians who just joined through direct entry?  Or is the officer training shorter for NCMs since they've gone through recruit training before?

I would say it is the same in the Reg Force.   I think the word is used a lot especially in basic training for shock value.   After that, people just start swearing because they hear the word so much.   But I think it's possible to restrain oneself.   I don't use the "f***"   word or any other...

Yes, PteR

Depends on what trade you're going into...for trades where they urgently need people, a selection board might be convened when there are outstanding applications waiting to be processed.  What trade did you apply for? 

I just want to get these terms straight... is a sapper the same as a corporal, but just in the combat engineer trade?  What do you call a private or master corporal in this trade?  I know Bombardier & MBdr are corporal/Mcpl in artillery...what do you call a private in that trade?  Are there...

atticus, I do not find the slogans in your signature appropriate.  I am referring to the Chinese characters you have in the last line of your signature.
