Right on guys.  Thanks for all the valuable input.  As a first time home buyer, I'm just trying to plan for the future.  Thanks again!

Gents, Does anybody know the current CF policy regarding getting posted and your house for sale. Do they still buy your house at market value if you cannot sell it? I have sent off an email to IIRP but they have not got back to me, and I'm just looking for a little insight from someone who...

Alright, you guys want the low down on CAP? Here it is: 1) It's not as hard as everyone will make it out to be.  The old military tradition of saying how "hard" it was when they went through seems to really show through on this "super tough" course.  Everyone wants to toot their own horn after...

WTF ???

What is your desired trade? You might want to reconsider if you are going pilot... The forms are standard issue.  They just want your doctor to confirm everything is ok and nothing is going to impede your ability to become a member of the CF. Stay positive, get the form in to the CF and...

I never once asked you to back up my sources...I was encouraging some professional development.

You are not wrong Benny.  But I'm not gonna fight this one down to the bone like many other topics end up.   The fact is, Voluntary Occupation Reassignment is a term, and if anyone disagrees, then so be it, I don't have the time to waste arguing this one.

Read the Subsidized Education Manual put out every year by CFRG Borden... MedTech you should have one, shouldn't you?

Then you would think senior CF members would know better George... I don't think you read my message, I'm stating that VOR IS AN OFFICIAL TERM. 

Call it what you want it is still a part of the CF, and as such has many unique aspects to it. 

VOR is a term used routinely in the ROTP world. Yes...it is the real, correct and accurate term used. Yes...it stands for Voluntary Occupation Reassignment, because you are an officer who is not qualified in your current occupation. For the people that wrote out paragraphs of explanations of...

Not to mention, ROTP offers four years of pensionable time while going to school, and higher salaries up to Captain...

The best advice you could get right there. Cheers

Navy wear a forage like head dress (I'm not sure the exact terminology, but someone will help me out) as part of their DEU... You may wear it any time you are authorized to wear your DEU's. Cheers!

Ok, so technically you shouldn't have been wearing the cornflake until you were drill tested during IAP.  Thats standard. As for the PO's conduct, totally unacceptable and I'm surprised the officer with you allowed it to happen. Hope this clears some confustion for you.

For those not looking to spend big bucks, it is worth checking out Sport Chek and getting a pair of "Super Feet" ($30-$50) They are a godsend for me, and I've tried custom orthotics and many different kinds of insoles.

I think a quote from Billy Madison is due here: Principal: "Mr. Madison (or Miss Teen USA contestant), what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even CLOSE to anything that could be considered a...

Shoulda known haha...thanks RG!

G2G, That's a refreshing angle to take! Cheers!

Well put... I've never been, so I can't say much. I just find it frustrating to try to explain what is happening to people that think that "this can't be a peacekeeping mission if we are dying"... Oh well....Education is a tool which must not be taken advantage of...
