Yes I agree that the Canadian Flag is and should be all inclusive but when we still raise the Quebec flag for St Jean Baptiste day, Aboriginal Flag etc why not the Gay pride flag too.  I welcome the day that we celebrate all Canadians as Canadians but that is not what happens today.  We still...

http://www.cbc.ca/edmontonam/2013/06/06/gay-pride-flag/ Tomorrow morning Friday June 7 2013, the gay pride flag will be raised at CFB Edmonton.  It is believed to be the first time this has occurred on a military base in North America. Although their may be some who dislike this.  It is proof...

CombatDoc. Yes I agree I am in the minority but sometimes people need to hear the good stories as well as the bad ones.  Garb811 you are more than likely correct in your observations. Borden does handle a large amount of moves and this does give the Brookfield agents an advantage.  However my...

I am sorry your troops had bad experience.  Where were they moving from?  I have had 4 moves with Brookfield and this past APS was the best one ever.  Agent from Borden was amazing answered every question I had and even found us entitlements we weren't aware of.  We didn't have to read the book...

More than likely you'll be ashore until your a QL5. Good chance your going to one of the field ambs BUT it is always at the whim of the career manager.  Medic regardless of what element uniform you wear is a true purple trade.  I have many friends who are navy and never spent a day on a ship. ...

Thank you PPCLI Guy

CTV news is reporting no Canadians were injured in the blast.  Thank god. Still haven't heard from my troop but will rest easier now. Sorry unable to post the link to CTV news.

RP is pretty much bang on.  When the Surgeon General was here in Sept 12 (Edmonton) that exact question was posed to him.  He made it very clear that in no way was the old UMS system coming back to the army.  There are many within Health Services and the army that liked the old way but most of...

Thank you according to his finish time and your points he finished about 10 min before bomb.  Still will feel better once we hear for sure he is ok. Kirsten

Still waiting for word on one of my soldiers.  Hoping no news is good news. Fingers crossed

Me too, I have been improperly dressed as was pointed out to me at the last mess dinner.  According to annex E5-2 para 10 "pumps black or (navy) white.  Civilian plain patterned, leather or patent leather, oval vamp, closed toe and heel, displaying no decorative features and with a standard...

If your in DEU's your hair will be up as per the Dress Regs and by up that means in a bun.  Even in Mess kit long hair is pinned up although I have seen many women wear an updo in a military style.  yes you can wear your skirt with appropriate pumps, black with rounded toe no more than 2 in heel

Yes it is about Alert.  I happened to be there as Starlight (senior medic/PA). When Steve White visited as our padre.  During his visit he wrote and performed this song.  Thanks Steve.

And Roto 3 was warned in March that they were dropping and that it would drop again during the upcoming tour too.  Should be no big surprise to any soldier that attends the briefs.  Hence the reason they are told time and time again don't spend the money until you have it in your bank account.

Since you directed a comment at me.  You are not yet in the CF as per your posts so far.  I have 26 years in the CF. I am not getting hardcore one you but giving a newbie to this site and to a soon to be recruit some friendly advice. You might want to suck back and reload and learn a few things...

Advice Mr Eggert.  Don't comment on things you know nothing about. We don't have military hospitals only medical clinics and within these are CDU's or care delivery units.  The CDU's were designed to employee civilian medical personnel so that when military medical personnel are deployed there...

Keep in mind you will be with a field ambulance primarily when posted to an army base from there you may be with an infantry, engineer or armoured regiments.  Might be with HQ & SIGS or service battalion.  Or none of them.  You will go where your told regardless of what you want or uniform you...

Yes Kylie did 2 years at DB Edmonton but the difference is that Kylie Brown was court martialed and this idiot was charged in the civilian justice system.  I don't think the civilian judge can send someone to DB .  Any JAG's know for sure?

An annual PER.  If you worked less than 3 months of the year it will be an exemption PER reflecting parental leave and if you worked more than 3 months then its an annual PER.  This is all explained in the CPAS.
