no canex in winnipeg and clothing stores tailor does not have hat badges...what's with that....

your enrollment docs won't list your jump course just like it doesn't list winter warfare or aircraft type courses. Check your 'MPRR' or what we used to call your 490..if it's on there..you can wear them... When i got back into the reserves they forgot i spent six months in cyprus...i was...

took 18 months to get my offer, i declined. I'm swearing back into the PRes today instead.

my opinion based on my 14yrs as an NCM both in the Infantry and Air Force. If it was my son/daughter I'd counsel them to  become an officer. Officers have a far better life in the military. All the way from general pay and gratuities to sleeping conditions in the field and attendance on parade...

Hi George, they aren't identical offers. The reg force offer was actually better as it was ipc 4, the reserve offer is actually less at IPC Basic, both on the standard pay scale. The reason I turned down the reg force offer is that I have a full time job in which I make substantially more than...

Good Day, I turned down my TOS to return to reg force and have applied for Air Reserve instead. They came back with TOS yesterday. In my reg force offer I was given Cpl IPC 4, TQ5 Provisional. In my reserve offer they have given my Cpl IPC Basic TQ5 Provisional. I was credited with 12 yrs and...

Well, not the fight is over, I have to say..if Bisping won, so did Cro cop....what a travesty. I could see Bisping maybe winning the third just by way of aggression and will to finish the fight in the last 30 seconds. But theres no way he won the first or second, IMHO. The Cro Cop fight was a...

OK, so..anyone ever have to remove quickly and discreetly or explain a body piercing while on duty? I had my right nipple pierced for a couple of years before I got out, but it was never an issue. One of the guys on my crew wore a tongue piercing and was pretty good at hiding it. I've not got...

Well, I did a telephone interview with recruiting yesterday ( 5 Sep 07) because the trade I was initially interviewed for isn't the one i'm going in as my entry trade it's a long story but my enrollment trade is generally not direct entry. They had to ask me the basic interview questions based...

I think that some of the lines in 300 are applicable to domestic relationships. Having a morning argument with your wife..she looks over her shoulder at you as you scamper out the door, thinking you're safe and says "Ready your breakfast and eat hearty... For tonight, we dine in hell" Two...

i think pickled eggs could be classified as health food...you know, all that protein, not fried....that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

BMQ for dummies...Is it a one pager...."You have two eyes to ears and one mouth, use them in that order and proportion. Stop, look, listen, STFU show up prepared and do what you are told." That'll be $29.99 please.

regimental tattoo's and stuff are a great way to show loyalty, esprit corps's etc but think of the long term. In a serious situation, bound and under the bright lights..there's no denying who you are affiliated with when it's on your arm in Blue, gold and black (go RCR). How about something in...

a good pickled egg needs to be followed up with a horse c*&$ from the jar next to them. If I recall correctly we used to buy them at "Titans" which was the precursor to Costco

Since my file cleared Toronto I've been getting a bit of a run around that I won't go into detail about until I sign my offer. Short story is that left and right hands aren't coordinated and its taking ages to get my offer written up.

Truer words have not been spoken...guess they'll budget the 'get them back into the air' money from another fiscal year.

At least a cut in fuel budget means less flying hours so the cuts on maintenance won't hurt as much as it's logical that less hours flown = less maintenance. Add the murphy factor and somebody is gonna be whispering in your ear to not toss those used o-rings out anymore...

I don't remember reading the part about replacing the current techs with retiree's in the ad, but my eye's aren't what they used to be since I retired. I think it's more this kind of crap: 'The AFI&LT considers those returning as "force multipliers". There are many advantages to re-enrolling...
