    Cell phone family plans across canada

    He means SIM unlock: Phones sold by a carrier tend to be "locked" to that carrier - putting in a SIM card from another carrier won't work. You need to get it unlocked so that you can use other carriers. SIM unlocking tends to cost about $20. iPhone OS 3.1.3 kills SIM unlocks. I hope you can...

    Cell phone family plans across canada

    If it's the old iPhone 2G, you're stuck with either Rogers or Fido. If it's a 3G or 3GS, you can use Rogers, Fido, Bell, or Telus. Rogers and Fido are OK in terms of coverage, but I've heard nightmares about getting customer service out of them. They have a 2G network to fall-back on. Bell...

    Wrist Watch Recommendations - Merged Thread

    I know the St-Jean CANEX sells them, along with replacement parts, so they're likely bought by candidates wanting something decently durable without breaking the bank. I bought mine a year before I joined, but I can remember seeing the tell-tale Expedition-shape on the wrists of numerous candidates.

    Wrist Watch Recommendations - Merged Thread

    Timex expedition, $50. Got mine in 2005, and it's still ticking after a decent amount of abuse. Nothing too fancy about it, but I can always depend on it to show me the time.

    Enrollment, Res BMQ, and MSE Ops?

    Like any other trade, MSE Ops have a job to do. I sure as heck don't know anything about how to drive a highway cruiser bus or an MLVW, but getting a ride sure beats walking. If you're able to do your job and not screw people over, you'll be fine. You can never be over dressed for an important...

    Cancer Scientist reveals secret life as Prostitute

    Gotta admit, that's a good chunk of change, and even with her PhD she stands little chance of making that kind of hourly rate again.

    Aerospace Control Officers-AEC [merged]

    I'll confirm that AEC (and maybe AC OP) requires very high CFAT scores. Might I recommend going over this link: http://www.forces.ca/interactive/controller/splash.html It should cover what you need to know about AEC/AC OP differences.

    2009 Canadian International Air Show

    I just so happened to be in Toronto that day. I got to see the Blue Angels from a rooftop on The Esplanade. Very nice performance by them, though it's shame I didn't get any good pics.

    A job as a Psychologist in the forces?

    A little digging reveals the CF does not hire Psychologists*, but does hire Psychiatrists as Medical Officers. Depending on where she stands in her studies, she may be eligible for subsidy. Another option is Social Work Officer, which requires an MSW. It's not quite the same work as a...

    Deaths of four Afghan women in Kingston "an honor killing"

    You're not alone: I had actually read an article on honour killings about a week ago, and I too thought this could have been an honour killing.
