    Petawawa Thread- Merged

    Although I heard that some of the new sub-divisions were built on swamp land and now some of the homeowners are dealing with water in their basements. One of the trends I see on MLS is that it's difficult to see a home on the main drag, so be weary of that.

    attach posting length

    A few years ago, I had 3 or 4 attached postings in a row at the same location.  It did not turn into TD or a permenant posting.

    Automobile travel allowance in the reserves

    First, you have to write a memo requesting travel assistance. Rates are the low rates: http://www.njc-cnm.gc.ca/directive/index.php?lang=eng&svid=6-3 So basically you have to cover the first 16km each way.  So in your case, 160 x 2 = 320 320 - 32 = 298 288 km x $ 0.15 = $43.20 You'll...

    p90x to make BMQ PT a bit easier. Good/Bad Idea.

    While I do think P90X is fantastic, I've always been more interested in cardio than any sort of weight training.  Speaking as a woman, I found using a program like this forced me to add the weight training aspect in moderation.  I didn't have to go to a gym and feel insecure about going to the...

    p90x to make BMQ PT a bit easier. Good/Bad Idea.

    Back & Biceps is just one of the videos.  In the classic version of p90x, this video is done at grand total of 5 days out of the 90 days.  How is this bad? How does all your bench pressing relate to athletic performance?  It's all indirect, and in basic, athletic performance does not matter. ...

    p90x to make BMQ PT a bit easier. Good/Bad Idea.

    Ok, you're wrong.  Of the 12 videos, at least 6 use dumbells.  Honestly from your fitness background, you should know that you can do more than bicep curls with dumbells.  Tony uses dumbells for biceps, tris, shoulders, back and as resistance in core moves.  And I wouldn't discount body weight...

    p90x to make BMQ PT a bit easier. Good/Bad Idea.

    Not when you're upping your weights as you go, or progressing to a harder technique (girly push-ups to regular requires increase of strength).  Being able to do higher reps is musclar endurance, but both improve with this program.

    p90x to make BMQ PT a bit easier. Good/Bad Idea.

    I was completing 10-12 reps per exercise (except those requiring to failure) and definately did not get weaker.  Bottom line is almost any fitness routine would help the OP if includes both strength and cardio prior to BMQ start.  No one who follows this program as directed, would get less...

    p90x to make BMQ PT a bit easier. Good/Bad Idea.

    I've completed p90x and I've also used other video's of Tony Horton.  For me I improved dramatically in strength and definately improved my cardio, flexibility and overall fitness.  Tony clearly states over and over if you are going for strength/size lower your reps, for lean muscle increase...

    Married Service Couples [MSC]

    So, if Mrs. Timbit decided that the military thing would be a good gig, would you a) stay in and welcome the addition a Mrs Timbit into the CF b) get out and let her have her turn, or c) "forbid it". Fortunately, I've met Mrs. Timbit and I don't think she has any immediate plans of joining...

    How much do you pay for mess dues?

    Can a full and supposedly equal member of the mess be forced to act as bartender as a secondary duty?  My mess is going toward this option (a motion to switch to this was not raised or passed)....  They intend to have all A/SLt's and NCdt's take smart serve and take turns tending bar.  I...

    Tailoring... time's up?

    Interesting.  It could also avoid any excuse we have for having ill fitting DEU's on parade.  ie. Holy crapola, my pants shrunk!

    Tailoring... time's up?

    Haha!  I told the tailor to make it as short as the CF dress manual would allow, just for you!  :nod: With this off base tailor, I'll get it back on Wednesday.  And for the record, I had taken my tunic to the civi tailor to get it taken in as I knew that it was no longer at the "initial issue"...

    Tailoring... time's up?

    Yeah, so that didn't work...  I met with the WO and the tailor and they said that 2 years is too long, how were they to even know it was my skirt... looks like I was issued the wrong size anyways... I should have had them to the tailor's right after the inital issue...etc. While I agree that I...

    Yep, here in Pet.  I guess I'll go back in with this reference and get it done.

    Tailoring... time's up?

    Went to the tailor shop today on base asking about getting my DEU skirt hemmed.  They say that since I've had it longer than 2 weeks, I have to complete it elsewhere on my dime.  ??? I asked the lady if there was an official policy on this but she didn't seem to know of one.  Is this true? ...

    Reserve DL training for public servants

    So, in my case, it doesn't matter that it is DL or not.  The CHRO also referred me to my collective agreement.  So the applicable section for "Leave with or without pay for other reasons": At its descretion, the Employer may grant: b) leave with or without pay for purposes other than that...

    Reserve DL training for public servants

    I took that to mean advanced training.  For general MOC training, I thought it would fall under, "To take annual training or to be on duty" (first row in annex A). If it's as you read it, that wouldn't be very good.

    Reserve DL training for public servants

    I am a public servant working for DND.  My MOC course starts in September but is primarily DL.  I recently found out that the DL portion is quite extensive and time consuming.  I know with traditional class B training, one can take LWP from their day job.  I’m trying to find out if I can take...
