I understand your comment about not wanting to spend more time with the same people you have been with for 6 months and anybody who has been on decompression has heard the same thing countless times. It is a valid point but doesn't override the value of having at least a little bit of down time...

HLTA and decompression are not intended to be booze fests. They are what you make them. If you feel the need to get smashed, that is your prerogative and your decision... No one else's. I would much rather see our soldiers get their first drunk out of the way in a controlled and supportive...

Hello all... When I was in predeployment there was a PowerPoint presentation with a background picture that had... I believe... A Canadian soldier and an American soldier walking away from the camera, arms over each others shoulders supporting one another. I've been trying to find that picture...

Ask and you shall receive DAA... Does anybody know if there is some sort of leeway for short postings? Say you receive your posting message with a COS date less than 6 weeks later. Its next to impossible to have an HHT and find a house owned by someone that is willing to close in less than 30...

Not that 100kgs isn't a lot...but the 500kgs noted in the article is much more impressive. BZ HMCS Toronto!

The flange at the bottom measures 4". The mouth is 3 1/8" and the height is 15 1/2" total (15" to the "soldered" lip seen in the picture) I don't think it has been cut down but to be honest I don't know enough about it to tell for sure. I have seen some online that are slightly tapered as mine...

Thanks AmmoTech! That's great. The base is 4" wide so I guess you hit the nail on the head. I appreciate the info. I'm having trouble finding anything naval with MK I related to it. Can you suggest any search terms so I can get a picture of what was used to fire this thing? Thanks again, RT

I figured this would be the best place to find an answer to this. I picked this up in Halifax yesterday and am trying to figure out what all the stamps actually mean. Any help would be greatly appreciated. From what I can tell, it is a 105mm shell but that is just from my simple googling...

Eggert, you are obviously way out of your lane here. Posting things that you [i]think[i] are the truth doesn't make it so. You are, deliberately or not, misleading others who come to this site for information. Please, take Kirsten's advice and stop posting random, incorrect information on...

A new update on Cpl Schuman from the CBC... http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/story/2013/03/04/edmonton-schuman-university-heist-survivor.html

I was in a similar situation a while ago with a sibling's wedding (I was best man) during basic. I got the weekend to attend but needed and asked for a 5 hour extension to make it back from Toronto to St Jean after the ceremony. My memo came back and said "This will be the first of many things...

13.790 cents/kwh here in ns. Plus an extra .5cents or so for some sort of efficiency cost.

Nursing is a 4 year program that generally takes students directly out of high school.

In 2001, I was on final in Hamilton in a Cessna 152, I think my second or third solo flight... "GZKU, Hamilton tower...speed up your approach, we have a big bird coming in behind you" I turn around and see the Lancaster behind me...closing fast (or so it seemed to me). "Hamilton tower...

I know a number of NOs that have gone this route so it is possible. To be open about the situation...I applied before my first year started but didn't get the call until the summer after that academic year so my first year of nursing was on my dime. It was unfortunate as it put me in the hole...

I had a BSc from one university, applied for Nursing school at another, was accepted and then applied for the ROTP program as an NO. Everything worked out just fine. I don't believe you will be accepted as a nursing candidate in the ROTP program unless you are already accepted at a recognized...

Thanks...much appreciated. RT

Education to whom exactly? I would guess that there are very few people that are ignorant to the fact that drinking and driving is dangerous. It has been ingrained in us since we were little kids...right beside "always wear your seat belt." Those that are still committing the offense aren't...

Hello all... I'll make this as quick and (hopefully) painless as possible. I'm looking for the rules regarding being posted while on PCat. I'll do the leg work/reading, just having trouble finding the right direction. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, RT

Unless I'm missing something I'm pretty sure that is the Commanders badge of the Order of Military Merit he is wearing.
