Wow thouse links helped alot, I just got the weather forcast and everything for Thule AFB tomorrow.

      I think the British Treasury should have known to have a little wiggle room for over seas operations, it's not like this is the first time British troops have been deployed over the world in the past 500 years

The big secret to taking parental leave is to put a portion of your salary away.  you could end up having problems of being over paid by the military or EI.  And you are going to take a kicking during tax time unless you up what you pay in taxes.

We insure ourselves. (Meaning we have money set aside).  No insurance company would  offer coverage to any military.  Can you imagine how much it would cost to insure a multi milllion dollar Herc.  For, Theft, and a $300 dub ductable.  wait.......  Some one shoots down a Herc in combat and we...

It is best to extend that 2 weeks no weedand other drugs  indefinitely.  Once you join, there are many people that have no tolerance for any level of drug usage, and you will  end up  a rehad program and charged sooner or later.

i remember this happening. Caused quite a spinning. I never seen so many people in beards in my life.  Glad to hear that he is alive, but I would love to know why. - edited for potential PERSEC issue

Sounds like the Vandals my wife had when she went to school.  They protested the Big Bad G-8 by vandalizing the Cash machine but ate Taco Bell after.  Gee I wonder where they got the money for the taco's  hmmm. It is sad how some people just do not take 5 minuets to think of what they are...

I have one word  a SECOND MAG.  I guess they ran our of funding

Now I want to go to Ottawa and see this place.  the "Rear Ender" poutine, sounds like you need beer with that. I am more of a home made burger on my BBQ kinda guy.  Or steak (but that's a new thread)

There are a few mornings now and then that I wake up all puffy eyed and do not want to go to work.  I will tell you one thing, the idea of being charged ($$) or Jail time is ample motivation to get my ass up I have always wondered when they tell us how many reservists there are, is that the on...

Anyone notice the trend, that most of these states are ex-colonies of former imperial powers. (France, England, German, USA etc)

My personal opion is that the Brass and Government has tried to run the military like a business.. It's not,  The main purpose of a military is to defend the government intrests.  Not look good on paper or be cost efficient.  On my QL3's  we had a British Maj who had just spent a tour in NATO...

The cormorants are already out sourced through IMP.  I know for parts (and maybe maintenance too), with the current trend I can see the new fix wing SAR aircraft will be the same.

I did meet Gen Leslie once in Mirage,  he was tunring in his weapon, during a visit, I was expecting to receive a dirty weapon into our vault from a previous experience with a different General earlier in the tour(No Names).  He had one of the cleanest weapons I had ever seen.  He asked me what...

Looks like I am going to have a lonely six months as Zippo up there with the decrease of the station's population, at this rate it will end up the Bar Tender,cook and myself  .......wait that could be fun. All joking aside I do hope that once the Government tables it's first budget that they...

What gets me, if a large ticket item is needed for the military it takes years if not decades to get, but if a PM wants  Business Jets it gets fast tracked.    The government has ran the military the way my brother runs his car,  expect it to run on gas alone and drag his feet when he should be...

Trenton has  a MIG-21. We could fire that big bad boy.  Correct me if I am wrong but was the CF-5  not called the "widow maker" because it's controls were very unforgiving at low altitudes thus causing you to crash?

Thank god my daughter is still in diapers.  I plan to just play the game and be a nice guy, until....  my wife or my daughter says so, that way the little bugger will not see it coming, or where he wakes up.

Maybe Army Vern should jump into this one, but did they not start using Velcro to stop people from sewing patches and name tags onto there uniforms and damaging them when they took the patches off.  There might or might not be a can-forgen out about that.

Another Liberal government that has peeved me off enough not to get my vote.  Oh and hydro is going up 6%-15% starting May.  Property taxes are rising etc.    Maybe I should ask for a posting out of Ontario?
