Merry Christmas to all, from Northern Alberta! ...soooo good to be home for the holidays!  ;D

This has all made me think.. I had a bit of a situation with a large cell bill a short while ago, which seemed quite unexplainable as to how it reached the amount it did. I ended up cancelling my plan with Bell and switching to a Telus phone. But now I am thinking I need to look a little closer...

Thank you HCA123. I appreciate the advice. While on PRETC we do SQ as well as driver wheel courses while awaiting our trades training, and my name is on the list for anything I have time to do. I definitely realize how important these courses are. I am also looking at obtaining an OJT position...

Do you ever post in a manner in which you are not trying to bring someone down?... I didn't whine, I just stated the truth about what is going on in my situation. I know people wait a while for course, I see it here every day. I'll also be one of those who will be Pte(3) before they are even...

Yes. An individual photo, as well as a group shot. You can purchase these afterwards.

Scratch that... was just informed today that my QL3 is now delayed until May. Yay, 3 more months of sitting on PRETC for me....

Got in an accident with my "all seasons" last winter, although it was freakish road conditions at the time. Definitely planning on purchasing some winter/snow tires when I get back to Edmonton for my X-mas leave soon. I'm driving quite the distance and think it will be well worth the investment.

I'm an untrained Med Tech. Finished my BMQ, and am now waiting for my QL3 to start in February. Not too long now! Getting very excited.

I'm on PRETC in Borden right now, so I can share what I see here. If you arrive here to wait for your QL3, and there is an SQ course available in the time you have to wait, you'll VERY likely be doing SQ. The Army clerks that are on PRETC with me have been loaded on my SQ course. Even if your...

Sounds....wonderful.  :) Ah well, 4 weeks of course to get through and then I can head back to AB to use all my annual days!

Received my kit list for "Winter SQ" in Meaford, today. Basically, bring everything you have. I think we're going to need it over the next month. Brrrr. (got our first snow today in Borden)

Thanks for all your advice, I really appreciate it. I'll check in with the OR tomorrow.

I have a question, and I apologize if it's been answered before. (I did look, I swear) Situation: I'm in the process of trying to book my flight home for X-mas, as I will be leaving next week for a month on SQ. Previously, my clerk advised me that we can get an advance to book our flight, if we...

This all just reaffirms why I spend a lot less time on the internet these days. It's way too easy to pretend to be someone you're not.

Keep up the awesome work Camo!! And keep the positive attitude, you'll need it some days in Farnham during the next 2 weeks. But, don't let the silly rumours about Farnham scare you, you actually do have lots of fun too! Not long now til' grad! Whoohoo girl.

The Canex sells a 4 combo lock package. (Just a warning, we had TONS of these jam on our platoon, so if you can get a set of 3-4 combo locks with the same combination before you go, I advise it) The "gun lock" you speak of is an Abus lock, and you'll need it to secure your rifle in your locker...

Seeing as how I am sitting on PRETC here in Borden now, and see the courses being loaded, I'll share what I know so far. As an Army RMS CLerk, she will most likely (as per the way things are going here now) be loaded on SQ if there is a gap in time before her trades training starts and there is...

Well I'm finally out of the Mega.  :) Week 12 went very well in the field. It was a very challenging and sleep depriving week, but overall, probably the most fun I had in the entire course! I had my grad parade yesterday afternoon. I can't really describe how great it felt to be standing on...

As some of you know, I took part in the RFT program. When I arrived in St. Jean I ran a 3.5 on the beep test, did 30 sit-ups and one pushup. I know, pretty sad results. PT was definitely my weakness. So I was sent to RFT. When I did my test to leave RFT I ran a 5 on the beep test, did 10...

Hey guys.. Just a minute for a quick update. I'm just finishing up my weekend leave after week 11 in Farnham. The gas hut went well in week 10. It wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting. A little face burning, but other than that it was great. We just finished our last PO check of the course...
