This sounds strange.  It's true that people who were born in certain countries may have to go through a more lengthy security clearance process, but I do not think anyone's application should be subjected deliberately to unneccesary delays.  See if you can talk to someone else other than this...

I think having stores open is good for both the consumers and the workers.  Most people work Mon - Fri.  So the only time they have to go shopping is the weekends.  Having stores open on both Sat and Sun allows more time for shopping instead of restricting it to just one day...Saturday.  For the...

Inch, what do you mean by "get your leave pass stamped while I'm at home"??  Doesn't my leave pass get stamped after it's approved by the OR of my unit? 

How do you apply for LTA?  Where do you get the form?  Do you submit the form before your trip or after?  I've heard that you usually don't get reimbursed for the full amount, is that true?

Just to let everyone know, I reported in combats (everyone else did)...and that was fine.  Thanks for all the suggestions. 

No, yot.  I'm a supply tech.  Hey, how's your application coming along?

I am reporting to 2 GS BN.   I'm a supply tech.   And I haven't been issued a CADPAT combat jacket yet. Greywolf

What about the weekends?  I'll be arriving at the base on Saturday.  Can I wear my civies?  I don't have to report for duty until the weekday after. 

Yeah, that's what I heard...that it varies from base to base...But they didn't tell me what I'm supposed to wear and I have no contact info...

I've been posted to CFB Petawawa and I'd like to know what I'm supposed to wear when I report for duty?  Combats?  CFs? 

Does anyone know the link where I can get info on what the different numbers for DEU (army) are and what they refer to...(e.g. 1A, 2B, 3, 4B)? 

Yeah, one of our messes here in Borden closed down today because of the strike and we had to march over to the other one 20 min away.  But other than that, we are not too inconvenienced.  And as you said, if the civilians get a pay raise, we'll get one too.  But hell, I'm still waiting to see...

Hey, does anyone know of any websites where I can find info on the Canadian military rank system and history? 

No, it's wet cold.  :-\ Greywolf

I believe I'm with 2GS.   I'm a Supply Tech.   When you get posted to a new base, how much time do they usually give you to go home and pack/move your stuff?   Right now, I have all my stuff in Edmonton.   And how much time do they give you to settle into your new base?   I'm doing my QL3 course...

Hi, I'm going to be posted to Petawawa and I'd like some info about the base and the surrounding community.  I'd also like to get info on what the single quarters are like there (e.g. rent, facilities, shared bathrooms...??)  Any pertinent info will be appreciated.  Thanks. 

You can use Visa or Mastercard at the Canex.  But you cannot get cash back.  You do get an advance of $220 (in the 2nd week, I think).  Bring some cash with you.  Don't rely on the ATM machine at the Mega (in the orange sector).  Sometimes it's down and it takes a while to get fixed.

It'll also help if you go to the gym and work on your triceps (with those tricep extension equipment...well, the gym staff will tell you which is good for helping with push ups). 

It varies.  A platoon can have 30 - 60 recruits. 

Yeah, they'll tell you if you passed or failed about 10 minutes after the exam.  The math is not hard...but you cannot use a calculator.  So you should practice by not using the calculator.  It's mostly basic Math...like Grade 9 math...some addition, multiplication, equations, sequences...
