I have had a number of ptes posted in since I arrived here in Gagetown 2 years ago none have gone on SQ in Gagetown since arrival and few even have SQ from prior to getting here. 

I just finished reviewing the latest MCSP for Reg force QL 3 & 5's.  Saw no mention of Geneva convention in it.  It would be an excellent idea to inclued it though.  I know for myself the last time I officially was taught anything to do with the Geneva Convention was in '91.  It could even be...

I served with 3 PPCLI in Afghanstan in 02.  I carried a C8 (with 300 rounds) and a Pistol (with 30 rounds).  Although I was with a light infantry unit and did go on combat ops (Op Cherekee Sky) I still fall under the Geneva Convention and can only use my weapons in defence of the wounded and...

Well as you said you haven't deployed yet.  I have been on 2 inital tours (Haiti 95 and Afghanistan 2002) but never with the Dart.  Its one thing to go in to a clearly defined training area with no obstacles and another to get into an earthquake ravaged terrain.  The area the Dart is said to be...

If you are still in the reserves then you want a component transfer.  If you are already out then its re-enrollment.  A component transfer will allow you to transfer to the regular force.  Don't quote me on basic.  That I believe depends on how many days they credit you and what you did for...

You really should follow up on this with your RMS clerk.  I have a pte who was 9 years in the airforce was out for approx 10 years (give or take).  She was just given credit toward her pension and currently her leave.  We are now in the process of asking for her Cpl which should have been given...

Well as an OP Apollo vet myself I must defend some of the person (wern excluded) Most on that tour were professional and great soldiers. TCBF included.  Its easy to hide behind a pseudo name and slag someone else abilities just based on their age and era they joined the military.  But alas it is...

Sometime before the end of his course he will be told of where he is being posted. As soon as this happens he should  through his chain of command (on course to his gaining unit) he can submit leave pass with a memorandum request leave for the period of your wedding.  I have had many new troops...

Isn't that a kicker our spouses get massage therapy under the military health care coverage. (I might be mistaked but ? blue cross or provincial)  but a soldier isn't entitled to this.  Sound fair I don't think so.  Makes me wonder what else are they entitled to and we the soldiers...

Here's a site that will create any type of Reminder Band your interested in. http://www.reminderband.com/. I'm  surprised to find a yellow band with anything but live strong on it as I had heard that Lance Armstrong has the rights to that color band.  (I might be wrong on this)

As a Med tech for the past 18 years I have never seen this enforced.  I just completed a quarterguard for my units change of command parade and we all fixed bayonets.  Al pers in the guard were medics.  As for other parades I would like to see someone try and tell the RSM of a unit that we don't...

Just to clarify this :  The only persons who did not qualify for the bar were those in Tampa Bay Florida.  All others that were in the theatre of Ops (this included Arabian Gulf, UAE and Kanadahar to name a few places) got the bar.  I think it wouldn't have been such a big issue if the bar...

Ensure that you research your options very carefully.  There is no QL 5 in the reserves and I would doubt very much you will get the QL 5 qualification in the regs.  But you should (not always but should) get a wavier for the PCP Ql 3 course in BC or Quebec if your civi training is equivalent or...

Well I'm a Mom and in the military.  All 3 of my girls were born after I joined. Yes maybe the professional will say that its more important to be around when you child are still young but there is something to be said about the strength they gather for themselves when you have to be away.  My...

So this tells me that even though we are trying to get a national standard that is equivallant to civi side, each unit and or region is basically running their own MCSP program.  Here in Gagetown the PCP QL 5 have yet to do a single ride along and the QL 3 are only doing 2 weeks.  Our Ops and...

This is probably part of the Regular force MCSP program (Maintenance of Comptency Skills Program).  Here in Gagetown all our QL 3 Med tech who are PCP qualified have to do annual  2 week period on the civi amblance.  Ql 5 Med tech are suppose to be starting in the near future.  As far as I know...

It boils down to this.  Are you in a committed relationship and do you trust him.  If so then no Shack Rat will be able to change that.  Yes these types of women exist but have faith in him for if you doubt his ability to stay faithful then your relationship is doomed.  My husband is...

Zombie, You may wish to contact someone who has done the PA course.  If your wishing to become a PA in the end.  From the ones who have finished the first 2 year course they recommend Chemistry vs physic.  I have yet to take the course but this is what has been recommended.

Card 11 Its great to hear such enthusiasm from someone just getting in.  Just remember this when your feeling discouraged (and alot are) and questioning why you joined this trade,  Its what you make of it.  There are a lot of personnel out there that are very frustrated with the restructuring of...

RIP WO Towell, you are a great man and soldier.  It was a honor to serve with you during Op Apollo.  My condolences to your family. You will not be forgotten. Kirsten
