    Why do CF Pilots need a degree?

    As someone who is trying to get in under ROTP (just passed ASC!) I have been reading this thread with great interest.  I'm just wondering what you guys would think of having a purely military academy, similar to Sandhurst in the UK.  Sandhurst allows the British Army to turn out officers in...

    A while back a Sgt. from the CFRC called and left a message on my voicemail, he did that.  Made me laugh because I do it often, but only on the radio.

    I don't think that a shirt and tie is necessary for the interview, I spoke with the LS again today and he said it was more of a briefing about ASC, but I'll dress nicer than my usual jeans and T-shirt anyway.  I'm going to be at ASC from April 18 to 22, anyone else have those dates?

    The CFRC called me today and said that I had a choice of three dates for ASC, April 11-15, 18-22, or 25-29, plus an additional day in Vancouver to speak with a Military Career Counselor.  I told them that any of the dates will work for me, so Borden will book me into a course, and they will get...

    3 March 2005 - Four RCMP Murdered at Seized Marijuana Grow-Op

    My condolences to the families and co-workers of the fallen officers.  I was really impressed to see that even the flag at Save On Foods here in Prince George was a half mast.  My best friend is a paramedic in northern Alberta, he knew all of the officers that were slain, by his account they...
