Salut Miliceman, je suis entièrement en accord avec toi. Pour répondre a ta question, je me considère comme un vieux de la vieille avec 24 années de service. Peut être que oui, la portion francophone de ce site est peut être mal répartie. Je pense quand même que c'est bon pour les jeunes ou les...

Just a quick information point for those of you that are bilingual, CBC French network is showing a very good documentary Friday Nov 11th at 21:00 East Time. It shows real life stories of some of our military members that have to deal PTSD. I would imagine that some day CBC will have the english...

Juste pour comfirmer, le film sera présenté vendredi le 11 nov a 21:00 dans le cadre de l'émission ''Zone Libre'' Cheers..

Douke, Juste quelques corrections: 1: Étant moi même pompier de la force régulière, je comfirme que oui il y a des pompiers réserviste mais la plupart de ces postes sont remplies par des anciens de la régulière qui ont 20 ans ou plus de service. Ils ne sont pas et seront jamais sélectionnés...

Our dress of the day at the firehall and onboard ships is coveralls and yes since the Air Force got rid of the old work dress, we were issued CadPat mostly for when we deployed in operational theatre. Cheers...

Although, sea pay plus the submarine pay would be good, don't you think heatwave  ;) Ya Ya just dreaming, I know you're not entitled sea pay if you get sub pay... But seriously, they wouldn't pay me enough to sail on a Sub. Cheers....

Oui c'est ca, Geilenkerchen en Allemagne ou Brussel en Belgique....En tout cas , on verras bien ???

Salut TB, J'aime ta structure de phrase....hé,hé....et oui j'ai la flamme qui brule encore. J'ai signé mon dernier contrat qui est bon jusqu'en 2018 et j'ai l'intention de poursuivre pour un autre 5 a 10 ans. Bagot n'est pas mon dernier posting, je ne veus pas me retirer ici. Ma conjointe est...

Don't get me wrong PV, this is a personal opinion. HazMat is not my bag, it is part of my job if I have to deal with it, but that's it. What I'm saying is that I'm more comfortable dealing with shipboard emergencies (which might involve HazMat also) on a daily basis then I'm am with NBC warfare...

''I help in my school cafeteria Volunteered as a Radio DJ for 2 years I have a part time job at Burger King'' Personally, I think you would make a good cook in the military...... Experience in the cafeteria, you can flip burgers and cooks specialize in spreading rumors in the military just like...

Why don't you just ask him how he's doing, how does he deal all the critics from all the people from all over the world, either be military or civilians. Poeple that says, ''If I would have being there, I would have done this or I would have done that'' Well you know what?? This is C***, Pretty...

As far as Pat Pl is concern, I for one was lucky enough that I didn't have to be on it because I was VOT, but I understand that if you have to be on it, they'll try to get you on any trade related courses such as your basic driver training ''BDT''. As far as I'm concern, this is probably the...

Bonjour a tous, je sais que ce sujet a été commencé il y a longtemps mais je pense que ce serais une bonne idée de le continuer. Pour ce qui est de moi, je me suis enrolé il y a déje quelques années...... 24 pour être plus précis. Je me suis enroler dans la marine et 8 ans plus tard j'ai...

Thanks Heatwave, I don't know if this is a compliment or not.......... Anyway, I'll take the experience as a compliment but as far as the age goes........hummm...loll. You're right, sea pay is great and I just can't wait to go back to collect the 12 yrs incentive. Hopefully on the west coast...

This is all part of our maintenance, we do monthly, semi-annual and annual maintenance on all the fitted systems onboard as well as all the extinguishers and breathing apparatus. When at sea the ship is divided into 3 section bases plus 1 manning pool during an emergency station. Depending on...

While at sea, you shift schedule basically depends on the flying schedule. Of course while there's flying going on you have to be on stand-by for take off and recovery. When there's no flying, you just carry on according with the ship's schedule, if there is anything on the schedule ei: fire ex...

Hi all, Just caught up with this tread. I must say that I agree with most of the post but just to get back to the tours at sea, this is just like any other postings, you make it your own. One of the problems that we have in Fire halls is that we have Firefighters that come back from a tour at...

Bonjour Cybelle, Je crois pouvoir te donner quelques informations sur Halifax. Ayant passé 18 ans de ma carrière las-bas, je peus te dire que c'est une très belle ville qui s'est développer énormément depuis les 10 dernière années et qui continue a se développer. C'est vrai que la mentalité est...

Ex-sailor now Firefighter, 24 years in, 5 tours and I love it

Desabusé, il y a des points que je suis en accord avec toi et d'autres non. 1. C'est vrai que les Forces en général sont trop mou. Moi même, je commence ma 24 ième année de service le mois prochain et je dois admettre qu'il y a eu beaucoup de changements depuis le temps. Je crois que le...
