What do you mean by "military clothing"? Do you mean the items in this list???  http://www.cflrs.forces.gc.ca/menu/pd/ir-ji/index-eng.asp#Ab3 Those are issued to you, you don't bring them. But you need to bring these: http://www.cflrs.forces.gc.ca/menu/pd/ir-ji/index-eng.asp#Ab1 Are there...

I understand about the legibility! I had the joy of deciphering 300 pages of a 1901 census, typing out everything from names, job descriptions and addresses. After doing close to 7500 people, I began to understand why everyone began to put "Please Print"  onto applications and forms these days! ...

Glad to know my tax dollars are being spent to ensure equality to such trivial matters that I'm certain Canadians will be eternally grateful and indebted for!?! Do the Senators who earn $130 000 a year have anything else earth-shattering they can change for us??? 

I've been taking Russian/Soviet history the past 6 weeks and... all I can say is, "Wow."  It's been probably the most eye-opening course I've taken so far with regards to culture and politics. The regimes and the reality (or, THEIR perceived reality) of events is just out of the realm of western...

Having worked in the health & safety industry for many years (forestry and nuclear), it's amazing to see the damage that can happen so quickly and the lifelong effects it can have on people (and their families). Part of my job was to prepare safety alerts and industry alerts as warnings to send...

Chappy, I'm pretty much "math retarded" as quoted by my grade 3 teacher and decided to live up to that high expectation throughout the years. I really don't like math a whole lot and probably never will. I can however, do compass work... so, there's hope for you. Someone else mentioned SAR...

Hello hatchetman, Do you mean a patch as in a biker's patch? For veterans? If so, please PM me. A friend of mine is heavily into this from the veteran's perspective and I can put you into contact with him. He had one that nearly spanned the entire back of his jacket, it was a bit on the...

Thanks for adding that fish out of water! I wonder if it depends on the moving company (since they use so many different ones). The only thing they asked us to separate or move was the chemicals and batteries. Maybe we got lucky? They even took out the screws for the brackets for the blinds. So...

Me either! I'm finally starting to get stoked about it and it's been a long year of preparing for it!  I've been putting a lot of time in at the gym and am getting some serious muscle... getting ready for the 10 million stairs a day at the megaplex!! I should have thighs of steel by the time I...

All you literally have to do, is stand there and watch. They'll ask you any questions about things and go through everything. It's awkward the first time you go through it (trust me!), having people go through your stuff but - just put the stuff you don't want them going through into a smaller...

From what I know (which isn't much, so take it for what it's worth).... if you are married or living common-law, your stuff stays put until you're through basic and trades training, and then they move your home and family to wherever you are posted. If you are single, and have a...

I am in almost the exact same position... except, they won't pack my stuff at the storage unit -- it has to be transferred to a place where they can have ease of access to it... the storage I have right now, is NOT self-storage but a heated, protected storage area... the packers need to be able...

During our moves in the past, we always kept a box or two of stuff that we would bring in the car with us. If you think about it, your stuff will likely be in storage for at least 6 months while you do basic and trades training and whatever else you need. So, I'll be packing anything I *think*...

I really hate that "recap" bit... mythbusters does that and so does the deadliest warrior... I guess it is designed for people with short attention spans??? (or channel surfers?) I've seen the commercial, haven't had a chance yet to watch it! But, it's on my list of things to do!

I was merit listed earlier this year (and late last year) for imagery. They "normally" open between 2 and 8 positions a year. (All of this info is what I was told by the recruiting office, disclaimer, take it for what it's worth)... they could have hundreds each year apply for it. However, this...

Something about that part, really amuses me! *laughs*

You may be focusing on the last part, I'm focusing on the following: I have had a application in Reg force for about 3weeks, is it a hard process to change it to the reserves here in edmonton? I am making an assumption that ANYWHERE in the forces, changing your reg force application to a...

Eye in the sky, it answered Robbie's a few positions above my reply -- he asked a question with regards to reserve vs. reg force applications....

If you decide to switch to Reserves after you have already submitted a Regular force application, it will stop the reg-force application. You'll have to pick one or the other....

Just a suggestion... if you aren't happy with your marks in courses you've taken, why not try and re-do them? It'll cost you money (which may defeat the purpose you are looking for) but if you are genuine in trying to better the outcome, maybe that's your current course of action. Are any of the...
