    Canada Day 2018

    We're off to Sandbanks for the weekend. Booked a spot way back in February! All I have to say is thank goodness we have AC in our trailer. Picton has some nice events going on and it's not too crowded, which both the husband and I like and, best of all, activities to tire the kids out. Hope...

    Prime Minister questioned about expenses

    If it makes people feel better, pretty sure the cost of the deck is actually for the deck AND the dock, both of which had to be replaced. Overall, the only thing that bothers me is the grooming of the trails for a few reasons, the biggest being that they are under a contract and would get paid...

    Because, like driving by an accident on the highway, it's hard to look away.  ;D

    Ordered "to get a phone" / Contact Information [Merged]

    Here's my issue with the MCpl passing on orders and such via personal cell phone - could this not become a security issue if said MCpl begins to rely on this exclusively? If there is ever an ATI request, would these members be expected to relinquish their personal cell phones now? I know it's...

    Chief of Army bans soldiers from wearing 'arrogant' death symbols

    I loved the morale patches during TGIFs on air bases. I had a "JOPA" patch that I wore proudly during Maple Flags and at air shows.  Another one that comes in mind was the Sea King patch with check marks in boxes denoting decades of service and the phrase "Flying yesterday's aircraft tomorrow"...

    Neck pain a debilitating problem for RCAF helicopter pilots

    The difference being that flying aircrew are sitting in a confined space for 2-6 hours (if not more depending on the msn and stby posture) with very little, if any chance, to move and stretch. So it tends to exacerbate any stress that is already being put on the muscles.  Add in the bad posture...

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    I mean news either way - nothing saying they wouldn't charge him and nothing saying they were charging him. That's all.

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    So, found this little gem last night about the government considering banning lead ammunition (along with fishing weights and such). http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/ammunition-lead-gun-owners-1.4636598 The numbers they spout are way off and they've had to estimate pretty much all of it since...

    Found out someone defrauding the ir system

    So, here's a situation that might just make all of this somewhat moot. Does the Capt have kids?  If so, and custody has yet to be determined via a separation agreement or the courts, then the Capt, as the father, is still considered as having custody of the children, even if he and his wife are...

    Victimization of Veterans

    Sorry for the late jump back in.  It was a busy couple of days. I certainly didn't want people to think that I was accusing everyone here of not reflecting on the MH situation of the subject in question without compassion.  It was very much directed at HB's comments.  Such as: It's comments...

    Victimization of Veterans

    Echoing EITS, the attitude against this soldier are pretty shocking. Yes, murder is wrong.  Yes, he murdered his partner and killed himself. But unless you've ever had to deal with a major depressive disorder, really, who are you to judge?  Judge the action, not the person.  When a person is...

    Transgender in the CF (merged)

    They have pants available for women now that are a mix between the male (belt loops, straighter cut and butt pockets) and female (roomier in the rear end and a bit of room in the front, enough to be able to use the pockets).  They're actually not that bad, especially as they have a strip of...

    Transgender in the CF (merged)

    You would be better served comparing it to hormone treatment for women, which you can't compare anyway.  Women are put on HRT to reduce menopause symptoms are the chances of endometrial cancer after a hysterectomy. I doubt getting old is a reason to go on hormone therapy...but you already knew...
