Perhaps the overlords of this site should start a Military dating forum to bring like minded men and women together.  I'm married (sorry ladies) but if I were single it would read something like this: M seeking F Relatively young-ish male, 33, semi-fit, unhappy with civvie life seeking hot...

Trust me when I say this...you are better off single for now.  You need only worry about yourself and the backs of your CF comrads. J

JJJ, Let her go.  If she comes back then it was meant to be.  The last thing you need is Girlfriend stress on course.  Sorry to say it bro but you'll be miserable if you don't allow for closure on both ends. J

I remember PT - While at CFSCE we have a Warrant Officer who'd get SO giddy about PT everyday it drove us to HATE it.  Every other unit did PT on Fridays and did something fun like play soccer or cross training, but our Squadron was different - it was always running, the same circuit every time...

Hi all, First off - Bandit1, I just got your message about PMing you for pics.  I appreciate the offer but I'm about 1 day late.  I did go with my wife and I had a great time.  Borden's tarmac is in pieces but I don't think anyone cared.  I waited to sit in the Hornet for 45 minutes.  It was a...

I think we are all a little "passionate" about our position here.  Huxley - feel free to join any organization you want.  The CF system is designed to filter those who do not want to be there so you'll know quickly enough if it is right for you.  Just realize that the pursuit of money is a...

The forecast changes day-by-day, sheesh...Sunday is now looking to be a slightly better day than Saturday.  I'd better bring some rain gear, groundsheets and porta-chairs (for my wife and sis).  I'm looking forward to it.  I haven't been on a base in a few years. Would anyone know if our new...

It sounds pre-meditated for sure - why only feet and not other limbs?  Could be a "cult" thing?  I doubt it was a sinking boat or plane crash or we'd see more body parts.  Organized crime hacking off feet from across the waters maybe?   Who knows...it's an interesting mystery indeed. J

OK, Let me put it this way - and I really don't mean to come across as bragging either.  I make low 6 figures now but I would trade it all in a heartbeat to have the "priviledge" of joining the CF (as a Pilot mind you).  Yes, start pay is never a lot BUT the CF is investing hundreds of...

Yeah, I'm getting mixed signals all over the place here.  BartB is saying the Taps are wide open but the CFRC says they are closed - while ROTP is the best way to go I can't do it because of my financial obligations.  CEOTP is it for me...it's the only way I can get in unless I join the Air...

Looking at the weather network.  It'll be raining Sat and Sun this week in barrie/borden.  How would I get a Media or VIP pass not being part of any professional organization affiliated with the CF day at CFB Borden?  Feel free to PM me if you can hook me up.  What I will do is post a detailed...

Correcting one mistake from above message to Welshy...if I were under the age of 23 I would have "tried" to apply for the RAF as a Pilot.  Now I wouldn't be able to apply because of wife, friends and family (plus I am over the age of intake). J

Welshy, I assume the fellow was referring to joining other Airforces because our own have very limited intake.  I'd go ahead and apply for Pilot with the British Airforce under the Commonwealth citizenship program but I do have a wife and family/friends residing in Canada...so it's not...

I agree to a certain point.  If Chretien can admit to trying pot and get away with it why shouldn't anyone else?  Having said that, if you are a habitual user then the CF should have the right to say no to consistent "law breakers". J

Hey, The only way I can see anyone serving for Allied nations as a pilot would be to either have citizenship of that country, parents have citizenship of that country OR marry a citizen of that country and become one yourself.  Like all Allied Nations - there are more applicants than slots and...

Thanks Strike, I realize it's going to get tougher to get in during the short term.  It's in the CFs best interest to welcome back ex-CF Pilots or CT those in the Reserves first.  It looks like the CF needs 300 pilots (according to one current CF Pilot) but can only intake so many per year -...

I figured that is how the selection board makes it's choices...they see a pile of paperwork, rank them by points and select based on # of spots available. J

Here is my thought, During the interview process, who would the interviewers like more.  The fellow that went straight to fly civvie aircraft in the good times and comes running to the CF during the bad OR the fellow that WANTS to be a CF Pilot from the get go regardless of market conditions. ...

OK, Airport security aside - when I did travel in uniform I never had any issues and recieved LOTS of compliments from Granmas (mind you this was Pre-911).  One time - was driving along in my Pathfinder and I was pulled over by 4 cop cars.  With spotlights blinding me and guns drawn they...

I like the Australian take on things - buy up F-18 E/Fs as an interim solution that could also serve as a complement to the next gen fleet they are going to purchase.  Less fighters means more open airspace for an enemy to poke through - the performance of F-35s vs F-18 are not substanitally...
