What's your scenario like S_Baker? I've looked into joining the US Military but I havn't gone to any lengths to get real information on Canadian citizens joining up.

You can also check out the SNC Lavalin web site for clerical jobs overseas with the CF: http://www.snc-lavalin.com/ I have found a handful of civi jobs for bases on the HRDC job bank as well: http://jb-ge.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca/Intro_en.asp

I have to agree, the DND network is extremely secure compared to other corporations (having managed networks in Bosnia, the NWT, DND and for Bell Canada). Back in the mid 90's there was never access to the outside but as time goes on our requirements change hence, creating minor vulnerabilities.

Thanks OLeary, that's an interesting link.

It's really hard to say. Keep in mind that aren't serving in the US military, they are simply attached to the US military. I would have to guess about 75 to 100 from the Signals core. That is from career manager posting summaries that I have browsed for MOC's 291, 215, 226, 227 and even 111. I...

My wife is American and we met while I was on tour on Tampa, FL (CENTCOM) - do you think I could qualify for a 6 pack ab implant?

I have to agree with Earl - let African UN members try to resolve the problem first, they understand the culture and mentality better than us Westerners.

So we're taxed on pretty much everything that we use - does anybody know what other commonwealth countires are like for taxes?

I wonder what the next big money grab is going to be - an air breathing tax perhaps?

1) Stella 2) Heiniken (keg cans only) 3) Keiths 4) Ojzusko (I can't remember how to spell it, it's a beer I used to drink in Bosnia)

Lovin' it Ghost! That's classic, and the easiest way to put it. Thanks for keeping it simple.

I think that's a great segment. I haven't seen it before, thanks for posting it.

Let's try this again... What's the general opinion on the changes in basic recruit training over the last ten years? I think that it would be particularly beneficial to hear from current instructors that have been there to witness the changes, if any, as well as current instructors that are...

It wouldn't hurt to bring them back in with you and talk to them about it again. The worst they can say is "no thanks".

I can only speak for my unit here in Kingston. Monday to Friday 0730 to 1600 unless on exercise or something comes up. It's my understanding that mosr HQ and Sigs work this way, it's just that other HQ and Sigs deploy more often than others on exercises. As far as the training is concerned, i...

I know here we used to solicate res units and they would come over on a one year contract with a gaurantee of sorts for a tour. I don't know if they still do that or not but we had a bunch of reserves here at one time going out the door. On my last tour (summer 2003), there were only 3 reg force...

They take our OHIP cards because we are covered federally through DND. Family members have access to a family medical plan but that only compliments what they already receive from OHIP. My wife is a US citizen and is not eligable for OHIP yet and therefore can not utilize the family benefits...

As far as I know, most Sig O's start out as a troop commander but remember that everying is always subject to change.

Good effort - you've gone further than most to try and find a better product for the troops. :salute:

The CANEX is actually in the MegaPlex and if I recall correctly, I was advanced cash for my initial purchases but that was 8 years ago. Another good tip, bring two of everything, one set for inspections and the other set for your use (toothbrushes, shaving cream, underwear, etc...). Once you...
