Don't think this is anything new.....my MARS II intake in summer 1979 of three "divisions" of 25 trainees might have netted 40 trained MARS officers by the time training was completed in 1982. I was voluntarily reclassed fall 1981 after two plus years of trying, they were so short of trained...

Truly devastating news. To all that are hurting as a result of this sad event, my deepest sympathy.

Looking at the crack in someone's arse when they are serving me food or working in a grocery store.

Perhaps part of Air Canada's new emphasis on customer care, but still appreciated was the lead FA's announcement at the end of our Toronto-Edmonton flight last night that it was Remembrance Day, and expressing thanks for all veterans, past and present who have/are serving our country in time of...

Sitting on top of all this oil here in Ft McMurray, 94.9 today. I paid 85.2 at Pearson Intl yesterday aft.

Very sad-my deepest sympathies to all that knew and loved her. Regretably this latest fatality in the wider Forces family comes as I am about to be interviewed Mon for our company paper "Connections" on my thoughts as to 11 Nov as a "veteran"(I certainly do not call myself that)-and Friday aft...

So why is the placque on the desk upside down???? Prolly would not stand upright, but kinda a bit of dissing there?

First met Karen at RMC way back when, 1980-81, when she was a First Year OCdt. Some years later worked with her in Gagetown mid 90s, and with then MWO Don Peddle when he was G4 Maint in 33 CBG HQ early 00s.  What a terrible loss and to all who are hurting as a result of this terrible tragedy, my...

Vern thanks very much, exactly what I was looking for. A few minor changes to reflect our operation and good to go. Should be interesting training my "duty officers" as they are summer students, at least for the next two months. My next project is to make suggestions for improving our laundry...

It was my experience that you are your own best career manager......I would if in your shoes/boots put up with the Navy and a posting to a ship(gag-barf) if that is what it comes to, in the short to medium term. Do your best at your job and make sure your PO knows you are interested in a...

My ex trucker boss has tasked me to set up an operations centre here at work, I suppose given my CSS background. Makes good sense as things occasionally get crazy here and a single point of contact for all services is therefore desireable.  I am trying to remember what exactly the column...

Believe Bill Oliver is the Exec Director of the RMC Club. As for a distictive college uniform, I would have despised wearing the Navy uniform twelve months of the year-doing so on summer training was about all I could take, though at least it was the green CF work dress, and our dress uniform...

. I wear a nomex-type flight suit. Under it im am supposed to wear 100% cotton long underwear. One without the other is utterly useless. Interesting . I wear Nomex everyday as part of my PPE on the job and I  never knew that.

Cyprus  Xmas 1986 a two foot Christmas tree sent to me from the family farm by my aunt. It was packed with lots of sponge/water and still was very green when  received. She used to send my sister and me trees when we moved to Edmonton in 1962 as well

Vern if you want a job out here in the Oil Sands PM me your email address- my boss is an ex trucker, and I also work with an ex 911 CWO and another retired trucker  LCol.

Lou-Reed your comments sum up my experience in a nutshell, though the offer of a third and final FRP in 1996 certainly hastened my decision. The mid 90s  were very frustrating years .The system really took a dim view of those that did not want a promotion, refused career courses etc, and it was...

Your closest grocery store to Union Station in TO is the Loblaws on Queen's Quay , just east of the Toronto Star Building and the LCBO. If you stock up there last minute it would be about a $6 or $7 cab back to the Station.

Might free up a berth as a walk up at the last minute......I have seen this happen with Via 1 upgrades, they were flogging them for $25 on the spot at checkin because they were underbooked, last in cancellations etc. As for the Bar Car Vern, BYOB, just be discrete. Been there, done that when I...
