    BACK PAY??!!

    Let's see...  If I make more than 16k a year in alberta, I'm paying 528 in health care premiums REGARDLESS of how close I am to that 16k.  Suck it up.  >:D T

    What to do in Trenton?

    I was thinking $20 for drinks, and two, maybe three songs, depending on how charming you are...  Dear lord, I could spend hundreds in that place, and never get bored.  If it's wrong to go there, I don't ever want to be right.  :D T

    Will the the army still accept me...

    Yeah...  A great bolshy yarblockos to you, if you passed it up.  (Great movie, BTW.) T

    My rant about pay raises and civilians

    Wow.  All this at the Harry Hayes?  Ladies must not have worked there, that building and its employees have been nothing but pro-military since I worked there and started my application process. Next time you tear someone down, especially a civvie, you may want to delete the expletives.  While...

    Will the the army still accept me...

    They want to give you *MORE* money?  Sometimes I really hate you...  ;) Patrick H. - Did the recruiter say that there would be a detrimental effect if you were to pull out now?  I mean, we can speculate here until we're blue (nice colour, BTW) in the face, but they make the final decisions. ...

    What to do in Trenton?

    I went a few weeks ago.  Bring books.  The Air Museum is neat, but you can't really see the planes on the tarmac.  When you're there, go around the outside of the building to the left, and you can talk to Bill (?) who's restoring the plane, and he'll give you the up-close and personal tour. My...

    Will the the army still accept me...

    Given the experiences on this board with OT's, (I haven't read about anyone having an easy time) I can empathise with Patrick H.'s desire to better himself before he enlists.  As well, the recruiting boards here are chock-full of members with the same TI that you have, recommending more training...

    BACK PAY??!!

    The longer you stare at that photo, the funnier it is...  :) T P.S. PSAC employees got their manual checks today.

    Passports for Tours?

    Er, it's $87 now (for an adult, anyway.)  An extra 10 for pick up, 30 for within a week, and 70 for 24 hours. T

    Passports for Tours?

    Er, not quite.  Kids under 3, maximum of three years, all others a maximum 5 years.  Some passports are issed with less. T

    Passports for Tours?

    That's a special diplomatic passport, and they're reserved for people travelling on governmental diplomatic business. As for the fees, pbi's right.  The more you pay, the faster it can be.  I've personally taken an application in, and given that person their passport in 2 hours.  It CAN be...

    NOAB for MARS wannabes

    Heya, all.   I've been sitting by my mailbox and phone daily, waiting to hear something from the Navy (say, an invite) for the May 2-6 board.  Has anyone already been invited out?  From what I understand, for reg force MARS, if you get past this and they like you, the actual selection board in...

    Illegal to trap cats?

    Perhaps a misunderstanding.  No vet worth his degree would offer up a pellet gun as a viable solution to removing cats from your property.  I'm assuming we're in agreement on this point? T

    Illegal to trap cats?

    Riiight...  Ask a vet what they think about this.  Shooting a cat with a pellet gun IS cruelty to animals, and can cause severe injury.  Pellet guns aren't known for their accuracy.  Use water.  And not a super-soaker, but a garden hose on full.  That'll learn `em. T

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    And after they've been lawyering for a while, let's appoint them to that Supreme Court...  ;) T

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    Last I checked, sitting at home sleepling isn't Ex or Ops.  Slight difference, methinks.  ;) T

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    Selection board

    Hehe...  As soon as they get around to it.  :)  Seriously though, I'd imagine that they have to wait until they've got through all the files, weighted each one accordingly, determined spots available, then offer, so I wouldn't count on anything too rapid.  As always, we bow to kincanucks...
