Trooper Hale, First of all welcome to Army.ca!  I'm going to leave the answering of your question to someone with more expertise than me, however I will make the friendly suggestion that on this site you don't refer to weapons as "gats".  You will not be very well received around here that...

When I went through the mill last year (Processed for ROTP) I dealt with CFRC Vancouver and I have to say my experience was excellent all around.  There was no excessive waiting, all of the staff was very friendly and accessible for any questions or issues that I had.  They really made me feel...

Vs. what? Soldiers with pool noodles?  ::) Yet another reason why I hate the Lieberals, I think they just lost whatever small portion of the military vote that they might have had.  The liberals really do seem to be getting quite desperate! Planes

Bring two GOOD pairs of runners, that you have ran in before (a lot).  You will be running a whole bunch on a wide variety of surfaces (I'm sure nearly everything will be there that you mentioned) , make sure that you are used to your shoes before you get there.  I never did any running in my...

I've dealt with mutual funds a fair bit (finance is something of a hobby of mine), but not Edward Jones. Planes

Wow, four replies while I was replying, you all took the words right out of my mouth.  Bkells, please give your head a shake, react with your mind not with the jerk of a knee.  I have a real problem with people who feel that they should be able to decide what I can and can not own (and a bloody...

My apologies, IIRC = If I Recall Correctly I'm glad to hear that things are going better for you two, and good on him for deciding not to VR! Planes

I was paid for the time up until my release date (which was actually about four days after I got home).  If they aren't paying us to be there then they really can't keep us there while our releases are being processed.  Sometimes they do put the people on PAT to work (I got the feeling that the...

Hello, I've read this this thread with great interest being that I VR'd myself this summer for some of the same reasons that your husband is thinking of.  When I left I didn't have to pay anything back, in fact after I got home I received several unexplained cheques.  As far as a ride home...

Thanks for the help, I'll buy a new tin of kiwi and get to work on them.  What is the best way to strip them? Thanks again, Planes

Hello, I have a shoe shine problem.  I had my oxfords very nicely shined, I wore them out the other night, and when I got home I found, to my horror, that my beautiful black mirrors have large flaked off splotches where it is down to the bare leather.  What I had done was five coats of brush...

I'm with Search and Rescue in Prince George and the Salvation Army here have a mobile cook truck that they use to support us on our searches (and anything like disasters etc.).  They're great, they only need a couple of hours notice to show up, and they'll go almost anywhere we will, we've had...

I have owned the WW boot, and I currently wear the Ft. Lewis.  You will find the WW boot to be cooler than the Ft. Lewis, the Ft. Lewis is a 10" boot vs. the 8" WW Boot.  The Ft. Lewis is an excellent boot, but it fills the exact same role as the WW boot. Planes

Like if you had done a like search you would have found that your like question had been like answered like 50 million times.  The like regulars here get really like tired and annoyed at hearing the same like questions over and over again.  These forums are a huge like resource, you just have to...

During my short time on IAP, my entirely francophone course staff (with the exception of the platoon commander) made for a few good ones. First was Sgt. O "If you want to pass this course, you 'ave to work like a teamwork, because if you don't work like a teamwork you'll fail this course." and...

When I was on basic officer training (for the short time I was there) I would have gleefully killed for one of those handheld sewing machines, it sure would have made things a whole lot easier! I never got better at sewing with practice, and we got lots of practice, every single item of military...

That depends on what sort of SAR you are talking about.   In Canada there are three types of SAR: air, marine, and ground and inland waterway.   Air and marine SAR fall under the jurisdiction of the Department of National Defence (hadled by the Coast Guard and the Air Force).   Ground and inland...
