From what I have seen here, just a shuttle away from NDHQ, most civies tend to refer all CF personnel as "Sir/Mam" whether they are Privates or Generals simply because they don't know. They are given copies of the rank structure and are advised to become familiar with it, but it rarely happens...

If only it were that simple. I was told the tap was turned off for this year. Only 5 were selected under the entry plan I applied for...

What is that aviation saying? Hold on to your seats...the music has stopped. I seem to recall this happening years ago where Pilots were coming back to the CF after being laid off. This must hurt the morale of the 250 hr wonder. Sometimes the dream of flying for big red gets them through the...

Rumour was that they had a limited number of spots available in Meaford for each Unit. As a result it looks like we might be running our own BMQ at the armoury. Now, that is just what I heard for our Unit. Who knows what the situation is for you guys. Hang in there; you will probably go from not...

Someone who would make a good Infanteer after thundering PFT. Just kidding. ;) Have fun at the show and good luck!

12 days to go for the Ottawa show. I can't wait!

They are low. Just don't do like one joker in my  Platoon did if you are ok with the PT levels: Sgt: "How you making out there Bloggins? How was PT?" Bloggins: "It was nice Sir. I thought it was going to be a lot harder." There were a lot of people who passed the express test with flying colors...

"Hello?...common guys...it's really hot in here...."

Sounds like some of the emergency room stories my buddy tells me about...

Actually, this was a really crappy week with a lot of stupid bad luck things happening everyday. Except for today and I am superstitious.  ??? Its amazing what happens when you don't realize it is Friday the 13th.

22 days of my life spent on here. That is sad.

They should. Actually, most still have admin nights where you might be able to ask your questions or leave it with someone who can find the answer for you.

Wow.  My buddy wears the same badge as you and he is headed to the sandbox for 9 months. I know for a fact he does not share your opinion.

There were two alph jets from <a href="http://www.topaces.ca"> Top Aces </a> visiting YOW (Ottawa) for a week or so now. I think they left a couple of days ago; maybe it was them. The demo CF-18 was in YOW as well for a press conference for the upcoming air show. Had a nice mini-show from it...

That doesn't have to be you. You could live in Ajax. ;) J, why not get a head start on your degree in the mean time? Whatever route you decide to take to Pilot, you need to have it. (Well, eventually in the case of CEOTP). Good luck.

Anyway... Megsy, there has to be one trade that has drawn you to the CF. Select it along with two others that genuinely interest you. If there is only one, then only select one. Want my advice? Not everyday is a recruiting video, flying a 188 demo at an airshow, blowing stuff up, or jumping...

Lunder, just get in the best possible shape and frame of mind you can for IAP/BOTP or whatever it is called now without overdoing it. Good luck!

Wow thanks so much Vern! There were some policies posted on our HR site that our Favourites menu links up to, but none were as specific as your post. I don't know why this is such a grey area with HR and Compensation. The only thing they sent me after a week of bothering them was a link to the...

Trying to figure out how I apply for leave for Reserve Force Training in the Public Service. It seems nobody in HR/Compensation knows anything about it. I can't spend another summer in this cubicle!

I agree. I recently transferred within the Reserves and the Cpl's & Snr NCO's have been the main reason I have been so happy with my transfer.
