Oh bother.....

Definitely helps come bird season. I won't hunt with anyone who hasn't joined me on the skeet field and shot at least 4-5 rounds. Nothing more frustrating than being in the field, and having a bird get missed by one or more guys, who empty the gun, then look at the gun like it's to blame.

That was my experience. Once it was calculated out. The ROR would just confirm nights or weekends of training, and it got added to the pay accordingly.

Can confirm. Having done several FORCE tests over the years, and also perfoming the CPAT for Fire. The CPAT is hands down a more occupational related test. Never felt gassed after a FORCE test quite the same as the CPAT.

When I joined fire out here, I was shown a map basically showing 5 other Canadian municipalities within Ottawas borders.

Yeah, no illusions on this end.

No surprise. The "Do more, with less" mentality. As a rural resident just outside Ottawa, the former Township of West Carleton ( where I Live in Constance Bay), has two cruisers available at any given time, over a huge geographical area, average response time for Police and EMS is typically...

Just going to suggest that recruiters are usually very busy in the PRes world. Might be a better choice to drop in on a parade night.

Was thinking this as well. Most rec shooters know that despite ammo being cheaper in the US, if you buy it there, you have to shoot it there, otherwise the BATF will have an issue the minute you go to come home ( export). CBSA doesn't care though...

Same this end. Renewals are slightly faster, but new clearances are taking 6-8months.

Fair. Where I am it's all LVL II, LVL III. I wasn't aware the requirements for most trades had been changed. Mind you, it's also been some time since I worked in a regular CAF environment.

Depending on your environment, your clearance above reliability doesn't really factor in. Unless you're going to a trade where LVL II or III is req'd. Reliability is the baseline for most trades. It won't expedite the process.

LOL, no...just the usual digressions.... Stand by, someone will be along shortly to wrangle to convo back on point....

I live just next to the Ottawa river in Cbay. There are lots of overflights by both CH146, and CH147. There are also a ton of overflights by ORNGE. Reason being, is that the Ottawa River is an easy landmark for both TOH, and the Civic. As well as CAF flights transiting to PET. Still has...

And given the distance from Ottawa, as well as other infrastructure...not optimal.

Other than the acquisition of land, and some minor works, there was not much capital expenditure. Not sure what neighbors you're talking to......most are pretty ambivalent, since noise is typically during the business day M-F.

...is that real cork?.....heathen....

...but not lead..... Let's not confuse the EO with facts....they have a tough enough job just keeping track of the hazardous waste.... ;)

The infrastructure of the buildings themselves will be green. ( Water usage, power, etc). The activities carried out within are typically outside of the scope for certification. However, most of the new CQBs on top pf using frangible ammo, also have extremely good HVAC air exchange, and filter...
