    When will the CF be hiring again?

    I have to agree with Container, 17000 does sound a little suspicious. Perhaps I will come across more info on last year's numbers, that can be released for public consumption.

    New dining hall for CFB Borden..

    I remember eating at O-110, cause I worked at Base Maint that was my assigned mess 85 - 88. Now I remember why I drank so much in those days. :P I will say though during the time that the cook school had to use that kitchen the meals were much much better.

    CFCWO on facebook?

    Maybe it is just me but would we not be easier for the Taliban to just follow a random member home from pretty much any base in Canada. As opposed to tracking you down through Facebook.
