72.0 North side of Guelph

After some extensive research, here's what I came up with. 1. The uniform is British, and so are they. 2. They are advertising the University Officers' Training Corps - we don't have anything of the like in Canada, but it's kind of like ROTC in the US, with some differences. "Adventurous...

3 Canadians dead in Afghanistan, toll reaches 100 3 Canadians dead in Afghanistan, toll reaches 100 More at Link. RIP.  :cdn:

I'll gladly donate all my MilPoints to Avor winning one of those certificates.

Canada's Role Must Change Article Link This speech was given by Dr. William Winegard on Remembrance Day in Guelph (this version was taken from the Pre-Remembrance day dinner the night before, hence the reference of the dinner, but the speech content is the same). The speech was very well...

You can change that. Start->Control Panel->Windows Update->Change Settings Anything but "Install Updates Automatically" is what you're looking for.

Yesterday I attended the funeral of Gnr Keyes-Oliver. For someone so young, the eulogies told of a great life she had lived in just 19 short years. Truly at this ceremony, her life was celebrated. It would be no stretch to say that she will be missed by many. I never met Arielle, but the whole...

Sitting on Notice to Move to assist with the funeral of Gnr. Keyes-Oliver, may she rest in peace. Until the call comes, it's personal admin and getting those **** Oxfords nice and shiny.

For this coming remembrance day, I've been selected as the Aide-de-camp for the special guest, who is going to be a General (who I'm not sure). I have been informed (and double-checked the CFP-265) that this means I am going to be wearing an Aiguilette on my DEU. My questions are: 1. Will I be...

Charley Fox, 88: War veteran fought Rommel Article Link More at article link. --- This is a very tragic loss. He was scheduled to be the special guest speaker at the Remembrance day ceremony in Guelph this year. I was really looking forward to having the honour of being his aide-de-camp for...

ISAF captures senior Taliban commander ISAF Press Release More at ISAF Press Release Link. Excellent job to those involved.

Though not through Athabaska, I did take 2 Distance Education courses over the summer while on OJT. My experience is as follows: First, for the sake of understanding, both courses were math courses, and thus were paper submissions via mail, and late submissions were not allowed (date submitted...

PC Financial I've had their chequing account since before I joined the CF, and it's never given me troubles. Only kicker I've found is a 5 business day hold on physical deposits. Not really an issue though, since CF pay is done via EFT, I have access to my pay immediately, it's just those very...

There has always been controversy involving students selling their bodies in some shape or form to pay for higher education. I can recall a year or two ago here in Guelph, the local strip joint had a contest of some kind where the winner would have their tuition (or a portion of it) payed for...

My old Timex Expedition does the job quite nicely. It has 2 timezones, I have primary as local and secondary as UTC, and both display in 24Hr mode. Aside from that, it's survived a few beatings and is still ticking (as their slogan indicated). I think I got it for about $30 a few years ago.

Call 911, those helpless socks need help to escape their captivity!

Vern, you owe me a new laptop.

Well said. If standards were relative, this would be the case, and we would hardly have anyone graduate a course let alone be in the CF. Our objective standards have their place, and have thusfar given us an effective military. As a result, you'll find ****-pumps no matter where you go, be it...
