And good bye...

Battle Honours are not traditionally given out for peacekeeping.  Conduct a search as this has been discussed extensively on army.ca.

Argh!  No wonder they all drive better vehicles than I do.  ;)

Around 60-65%.

I should add that the recruiter's will be looking for examples of leadership (taught fitness for 3 years to large classes, worked as a coach for little league baseball, developed a volunteer physiotherapy program for seniors in need, etc).

Trimmen, your certifications in fitness will have minimal baring on your acceptance as an infantry officer.

Trimmin, it depends.  Are you trying to join as an infantry officer or do you want to join as a fitness instructor.  If it is the former, you meet the explicit requirements of having a degree, canadian citizen, etc.  Whether or not you have the implicit requirements (leadership, aptitude, etc)...

The Task Force HQ (in Kandahar) will have a PSO and he/she handles everything normally done in Garrison.  Their contact number will be in Routine Orders (or you can probably just call the operator).  If you are in Camp Mirage, they don't have a dedicated PSO as not to many people want to get out...

Or the electorate is swayed by a politician using the Ottawa (insert US for national politics) "boogeyman". 

Isn't that how the CF came up with 85%?  ;)

Boris Smirnov Now, where is Natasha and that darn Moose and Squirrel.

This has been the policy since Op ATHENA Roto 0 (back in 2003).  As T2B correctly points out, we receive the General Campaign Star in lieu.

I suspect the visit was kept secret until a couple of days before it was scheduled to go.  The Minister's Office would have extended an invite at the last minute to accompany Peter Mackay.  Last minute invite necessitated last minute airline bookings.  Hence, higher airfare cost.

It's always quaint to see the young'uns celebrating their rather short history but I guess you have to start somewhere... http://www.artillery.net/English/history.htm Happy Birthday none the less to all great Canadians (past, present and future) who have served two proud (albeit junior)...

If you were not moved at government expense you will not qualify for PLD.  For instance, if you are serving with a Reserve unit in Edmonton and take a Cl C to deploy with TF 1-08, you will not be eligble as you have not been moved.  However, if you accept a Cl B offer to work at another location...
