ya, the freaking archaic useless BMI scale....when will the military come to terms with the fact that BMI is no way to determine a persons body fat....it's like saying all boxes that are 12" X 12" should weigh 15lbs, regardless of contents. I got put on piggy parade right out of the infantry for...

I was on RV 85 (I think) when they decided to feed us based on the standard diet/ration table.....we almost starved to death...or felt like it....I swear there was a Meat-head guarding the milk to make sure we only took the table alloted single serving....

Hey Andy (Bison), Looks like they could let me re-enroll directly to FE. The logic is that why enroll me as an AVN, post me at public expense when 10 minutes after I get sworn in I'll remuster to FE and get accepted because they are 36 in the red right now, only to post me at public expense...

Pro Patria. You have made the ultimate sacrifice, which is not in vane. Most know the words honour, duty, service, or country but few understand that these words are a lifefstyle choice for some. May you rest in peace my regimental brother.

Canadian politicians remind me of those two guys in Scarie Movie 4 in the scene where they are poking fun at 'The Village'. "I'm for it", "I am against it" There's no accountability in our political system. If you live in an NDP riding, your MP is not going to stand against his party leader...

I dropped off my transcripts this morning, no data entry has been made on my file yet. It's locked in the 'owners' cabinet. I asked about a 'form' for VFS, they said there isn't one, the consent form does the trick and it's likely no data entry has been made because they don't have VFS yet. As...

It's PT for a lifetime, brother. I was 031 for 5 years, there's no way you would survive one exercise or your BIQ (we called it Battle School back then) if all you could do is meet the minimum pt standards. If you can't exceed the standards, you become a  burden to your platoon or section...

Hmmm..they musta added 6 weeks to the AESOP course then...I know when I worked on Trackers that the Pilots never left anything in their boxed lunches....AESOPS couldn't have been making very good sangy's....the barf bags in the AESOP Seats were always used, but not up front....musta been too...

I've applied to get back in, I dropped off most of my docs and was told they'd get back to me in 3 or 4 working days to book appointments. I don't want to get on anyones bad side over there (CFRC) so don't want to start calling and pestering. Anyone know what the minimum level of service is...

That's how we got Summerside closed...started a rumor...they built new shacks and mess to refute the rumor and poof....it got closed...lol...then all the AESOPS had to go to the real navy....

I'm looking for an 'inside' interpretation of CFAO 11-12 for remuster to FE's. I was an AET 511 cross trained to 512 and trade converted to 514 before voluntary release. I'm trying to get back in and would like to go FE. CFA) 11-12 says you need 6 yrs continuous service as 511/512 etc (those...

gratz brother....not everyone has what it takes sign up for 031.....you should be proud.

i found the doc's i received are messed up too. The OR put the wrong COS year, NDHQ refused to grant a 5f because the unit didn't follow the QR&O for a 5f release, etc....sat on someones desk for 18 months...etc etc...the final entry date on itis nov 01...my locker was emptied but my supply docs...

Transport Canada will now recognize skill, experience and training for your AME license. This evaluation is done IAW MSI 18 which describes tasks performed on military aircraft as being acceptable for up to 90% of the min logbook tasks provided the aircraft worked on have a civil equivalent. IE...

How long did it take?

serving in the 90's was tuff. My base closed and the local housing market was depressed. The officers got their posting messages a month or so before the OR's...jump on housing market. A M/cpl spec 1 was making 38,000  a year...they now make almost 59,000. There were no privates, therefore no...

thanks for your response. The CM figured that the reserve unit may have been giving me one last shot in the arm. 5F is not the advantageously employable one....that'd be a 5D, and it's too late for a grievance. Thanks again.

I recently spoke with an old platoon mate who just retired with his 20. He said he ran into another of our troops in Pet last year that just got back into infantry after being out more than 10 yrs. My take on it is that you may have to do TQ3 again if you've been employed outside your trade but...

I've just begun the process of re-enrollment. I have a hurdle to clear I was hoping someone may have experience with. I left the reg force 4C, voluntary, no charges, court martials etc. I went on the supp list and within a year transfered to the Primary reserve. I served there for about 1.5...
