There may or <b>may not</b> be a trim wheel on at CAPPS. AP and PA Ask yourself What maneouver are you performing? Flying Straight and level? What instrument<b>s</b> tell you that you are doing this? Probably the instruments that tell you you attitude, altitude and heading. Making a standard...

Found this, and thought I would share. http://www.squashmagazine.com/vcm/squashmagazine/FEATURES/Introducing/index.html A Chat with Darren Hanlon Author and Singer of, Perhaps, the Only Song About Squash You can download the mp3 at the site. Why do I bother I don't know I'll turn off my...

Before I formally pose the question, I would like to say I have only rudimentary knowledge of the subject- limited entirely   to what I have picked up while living under the roof of an old Argus/Aurora Tacco, collected while at on OJT at a MH squadron, and simulated with video games ;) Alas, I...

Like leaving the winning lotto ticket in you pocket.... when you do the laundry. Came across this story. http://ktla.trb.com/news/local/la-me-jetfighter19oct19,0,6361651.story?coll=ktla-news-1 A Super Hornet's Nest War veteran Richard Webb stirred up trouble when he buzzed an airport. The...

I recall two separate experiences. First, while on IAP a cadet's wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. They have two small children. He called home everynight. In my circumstance, my wife and I were expecting. She was home alone, with a two year old. I called home once during the week, an on...

Mhabfan, It won't have any effect. Best thing to do is go to the CFRS and arrange a meeting with the Captain. Give it a shot and best of luck. Inch, I was wanting to go, but don't have a date (wife will be in Terra Nova). You know if the other Lts are going? Drinking alone is one of those...

Am I to understand that it is your position that if a recruit calls home, it somehow degrades his future combat performance? Are we talking about the same course... the BMQ at St. Jean...? The original question was whether the member would be able to call home? Yes he can. I would humbly...

Always knew you had a cape. You going to the mess diner on the 4th?

I have also seen the distractions that home can generate while one is on an indoctrination course. However, these recruits have families and concerns outside of the Mega and it is wrong to pass judgement. Allowing calls home does not deteriorate recruiting standards. In the above example, what...

Silly Question Alert Okay, in the example of a 32U. A member would be required to get a four year degree, 6 OPMEs, SLT plus get through flight training, all within the 9 year contract? Are you sure the member needs to get his wings, he must already have a cape.

It was a simple question from someone who is about to start a new career. It takes a bit of courage to ask questions, especially on matters like this. Caring for family does not make one weak, in fact it may be the drive that propells him.

I'm not so confident about it now. Cheers for the clarification.

When I posted the question I was initially concerned about highlighting my own inexperience. Ah well, you won't know if you don't ask. I am going to have a lot of free time this fall as I wait for courses. Alongside the OPMEs that will keep me out of trouble, I submitted my name to a general...

Curious to know any advice/tips/suggestions regarding being a CLO, or volunteering with a local cadet league. Feel free to PM me if it is more appropriate. Cheers,

LOL. Its funny how critical some can be. The airshow was a great success. Great static and flying displays. Lots of volunteers. Fantastic local support. Great press from the local media. Yet somehow you believe it was crap. I know my family and I had a fantastic time, as did everyone else...

Hmmm... Lets see. Sea king Aurora fly by Snow Birds Harvard Hawk Buffalo CF-18 Dash 8 Griffin. (Lets see what are we missing, Herc, Cormorant, twin otter, Jet ranger). Plus- 2 15's, A10 P-3 Herc E2 F-18 Buckeye Skyhawks Jstars Plus a load of civilian aircraft. Plus all the kit from...

I have a couple. I'll give a couple. In Farnum, during February, minus 37, 4 AM, there is a stand too. After 15 minutes of lying prone in the snow with little on, the O'cdt next to me asks "Hey Bograt, Are you cold?" While on a 10 km run, looking and noticing the PO is huffing a little harder...

Dildo, Newfoundland

At the most recent SLT serial in St. Jean, I know of atleast 4 fellows who enjoyed only 4 months of extra time in the Mega. They had all tried and were originally unsuccessful during their initial testing. (I know three of them had to get their BAB). I think they got their C's. Needless to say...
