Question in regards to this, will this be extending into BMQ and BMOQ courses soon as well? What would be your suggestions to train for this prior to completion, in terms of someone training in anticipation of going to basic?

Good luck to you! I hope that everything goes smoothly, and that you have "fun" (if that's what you want to call it) at your basic.

That's interesting, I would like to see if the insurance plan would cover that. The move to make IVF treatments free in Quebec is a relatively new one, and is somewhat controversal. (being that someone could do the whole "octomom" thing and abuse the system, ruining it for people who need it)...

Are you thinking about joining in Kingston? (I was wondering since you had applied to RMC) If you are, there a quite a few different reserve units in the Kingston area. You might be able to get something by September, it would be a big timing issue. For example, the HMCS Cataraqui gets the...

You still didn't answer the question though, would it bother you to see a woman bottle feeding her child in uniform?

Question to pose though: would you feel the same if it was a photo of two women, in uniform, bottle feeding their children? What if the photo was promoting women bottle feeding their children as a healthy alternative to breastfeeding their children? Would there be all this fuss? Probably not...

Exactly Vern. That's where the grey are lies in the US though. It isn't considered ILLEGAL to breastfeed in public, the concept of indecent exposure is left to the discretion of the officer giving out the ticket. When you look at the picture in question, I don't think one could argue that there...

For interest sake, I looked up a general overview of current breastfeeding laws within each of the US states. Firstly, there are not any states that PROHIBIT a mother from breastfeeding in public, a mother breastfeeding in public could, in theory, receive an indecent exposure ticket for said...

The logic of not applying a zero to that is saying that because you have not handed anything in, I can't tell what you know, so therefore, I don't know if you know nothing (as a zero applies) or if you know the entire concept and CHOSE not to hand something in. (because then the zero is more...

You are not allowed to do that either. It becomes quite obvious when the student has numerous marks of 1, but not a single INC or NHI. What surprised me in the article, was that parents may not be aware of this policy. That comment makes me want to write a list of questions for my child's...

I am a teacher, and while I do understand where the "no zero" policy came from, it makes little sense to me. I taught at the grades 7-12 level, and many students that didn't "feel" like doing an assignment knew that they could skip their homework, and it had little to no effect on their grade...

Currently Quebec is the only province that offers fertility treatment that is funded by the province. It is SO expensive in other provinces! Could you possibly IR post for a few months if they can't move the posting message? Maybe you can stay there for a bit, while your husband goes ahead? I...

Question for you, sir. Is there any compensation now available for Corrections Canada staff in terms of chronic diseases that could possibly be linked to work environment? (like lung cancer after spending time in a cloud of blue smoke in the prison) Or is this a fight that you have to take up...

I wonder why that is. You guys do a VERY dangerous job, and are more often than not, thanked very little. I have a few friends that work in Corrections here in Ontario, and I take my hat off to them. They do a thankless job, on both the part of the convicts and the public. Corrections officers...

A friend of mine just took off for basic in May, and she shopped EVERYWHERE for a good sports bra. (rather than just something you pull over your head) She found that the Under Armour sports bra was best choice. (she has a Lululemon one as well- she's an athletic wear junkie) She said the Under...

I hadn't noticed this posted anywhere, and thought this would be the right topic to post it in: http://www.globalnational.com/video/canadians+honour+vimy+ridge+vets/video.html?v=2239473835#stories I thought that this was a great story in honor of Vimy's Ridge. What an amazing site to go to.

Nice to see the progressive change in the provinces, one can only hope that it carries through to the federal level. It would be nice to see the move away from the "lump sum" payments. I think it gives the public another face to put on PTSD and occupational stress injuries, to see that CF...

That sucks, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you get picked up for another trade that you picked. Good luck!

Shameful the way some of these guys are being treated, after what they've given for their country. I hope that this action does something to change the charter, although it seems as though the office of veterans affairs might need an overhaul. I hope that this can open some eyes so that people...

My interpretation, when reading that statement was that folks in the infantry are, generally, in working out a bit. Not sure if their intention is to "raise the bar" for anyone. From what I am reading, I think was the person was getting at was that don't just be in good shape for a girl; be in...
