    Boot Size

    Looking at the chart, I think you should put more faith in that than my estimate.  (Mine is based on the boot size that Logistik Unicorps proposes when a variety of foot dimensions are input and is not a foolproof calculation.)

    Basic Training Question

    The thing that occurs to me is that you'd have to plug the charger in somewhere, and "electric toothbrush charger" is probably not part of the standard bedspace layout.

    Boot Size

    I think that would be size 10W.  Is that consistent with the size of other footwear you have?

    Cooks ( merged )

    I'm not a cook, but I'll offer some general answers for now. If you're working on a base you'll work something like a normal work week -- with shifts as necessary to cover the kitchen's hours (breakfast starts early so the cooks are at work before what you'd think of as normal working hours in...

    CL Marksman Cut in half?

    One of the advantages to the changes in summer training with the CPU is that you do not have to remain in a specialty.  It will be much easier to take a variety of courses in different specialties. As you say, there will be pre-requisites in some cases (e.g. sailing levels for the sea cadet...

    Canadian Forces Aptitude Test (CFAT) [MERGED]

    My information is pretty dated.  It's been more than fifteen years since I wrote the tests, but at the time all you got was a list of trades for which you were found suitable by the testing software -- no marks or other results. The tests cover a variety of abilities, and I would imagine that...

    It was Richard Rohmer.

    Keeping wounded in CF - merged super-thread

    Those are all very good points. Accommodation for disabilities aside, there would still be the need for seagoing pers to be fit for sea duty which -- I hope -- implies a complete set of limbs, for the reasons you noted. I accept the argument that a non-deployable member in a non-deploying...

    WHEN IS the next Naval Officer Assessment Board (NOAB) ?

    However, is it clear that this incident is linked to the age of the submarine that was involved, or might this have happened to any submarine?  There isn't necessarily a connection here.

    Interview Tomorrow

    That's true, but your appearance is likely to play some part in it. (By all means wear a fedora if you like, but take it off in the office!)

    CF Hair Regulations - Female styles

    I agree with the interpretation of others that the "specific group" mentioned in para 5 is women. Even if cornrows were limited to a certain group (apart from women in general) it would be based on the group's religious or spiritual practice, not simply a matter of race.  I'd suggest that the...

    Reserve Force

    A search of the site will turn up a lot of useful information for someone in your situation.  A lot of the usual first questions have been answered before. Reserve training is normally one evening a week, and some weekends, with longer periods in the summer.  I understand that most army reserve...

    Agreed on both points.

    Post In The GTA?

    Just to be sure, you can expect to be posted multiple times over the course of your career, sometimes to ships, other times to shore positions.  It's not just a single shot by any means.

    Senate page fired for anti-Harper protest

    No, it's perfectly possible to protest the actions, or planned actions, of a government without attempting to de-legitimize the election that put them in power.  The right to protest is an essential part of that very institution.  Surely you don't feel that, the election having been won, all...

    Post In The GTA?

    All naval vessels of any significant size are based in Halifax or Esquimalt.  (Esquimalt is next-door to Victoria.) You should wait for a more knowledgeable reply, but, for now, if you're posted to a ship then you'll normally be based in either Halifax or Esquimalt.  However, there are other...

    Media Bias [Merged]

    It would inform the discussion if we knew where the money is: does CBC TV cross-subsidize radio?  (Or, is the net subsidy given to the CBC greater or less than the cost of radio?)

    Questions about joining the Reserves

    I've known this to have been done in one unit.  All it is is a weekend BMQ that runs solid for a week during the March Break, presumably shaving off a few weekends from the length of the course.  No idea if this is at all a common practice.
