    LIght bulbs going "metric"

    I remember it, just don't remember the name. I remember they were attempting to implement it as they didn't feel the windchill factor was accurate enough. I felt it was, if they told me it was going to feel like -40 I knew to stay inside. I think their problem was they didn't do enough to...

    LIght bulbs going "metric"

    So what you are saying Tess is that I might have to get rid of my FEL desk lamp? Nooo, it's just the right output, bright as the sun, and oh so in-efficient! (Side note, Lumens would be a more accurate measurement, so I won't be hating the change)

    2009 Wings and Wheels Festival - Downsview

    You make me happy AND sad with those. Happy due to the fact you posted some amazing pictures, excellent quality by the way. Sad because I wasn't there to see them for myself. Well done!

    Info and some help on entitlement Tables

    You'll be issued all the kit you need to do your job. You may or may not get it all at once, not too sure how the reserves run it. If you need something, they make sure you get it. Have no fear, you won't be left in the cold.

    RCMP horse once named "Terror" given as gift to The Queen

    My question would be, did she not technically own the horse anyway? I mean, considering it was a crown asset, and well, she is the crown, would it not have been her horse, just on issue to the RCMP? That would negate any selling off that the crown assets commission would have to do. Personally I...

    Military Discounts List

    I think what was meant was that you get a 10-15% discount on the emergency services as well as the paintball game. You know, for when your paintball section attack goes horribly wrong.

    Would you like to put a ‘Support our troops’ ribbon on your own vehicle?

    I don't think I'd be deserving of the "Vet" plate, however I would feel comfortable with a "Legion" plate, as I am in fact a member. If I ever go overseas, then my thought on the "Vet" plate would change. As for the ribbon, I had one on the car before I even left the lot. The sales girl had a...

    so what do you plan long weekend ?

    I plan on sleeping, having a couple of wobbly pops, and resting up after "enjoying" some of the awesomeness that was Suffield. Side note, I sort of miss the prairie dogs running all over the place, and am still scanning the ground for the entrance to their homes, so not to trip because of one.

    What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

    Yeah, I was sort of wondering what 72 they were talking to/about.

    Ex-serviceman risks eviction by flying Canadian flag on balcony

    I'm sorry, but my college pub not only had many, many Canadian flags, but they also had the Queen's Standard up as well. (They hosted the Queen for lunch in 2002ish). I would have to say the pub had about 20 of each hanging from the ceiling, and nobody complained about that.

    No BMQ courses in May??

    Waiting for 4 months? Well, I'm glad you're used to waiting, as that seems to be the un-official sport of the CF. There will be much more waiting where that comes from. It's all part of the game.

    No BMQ courses in May??

    I'll have one for you Mr. Wallace. (A coffee that is.)

    Boot, General Purpose (Mk III acting/interim replacement)

    Opie, I'm glad to hear you are wearing the sock system. many people don't, and that's their choice, but the system does in fact work. The only time I've worn the extreme cold weather sock was on my SQ, and it was -40 or so out, plus the muckluck. I had some chilly feet until I started moving...

    No worries, I think we can all chalk it up to lack of coffee, non? :)

    CADPAT Rain Gear

    The task forces have been issued this kit for a while now. This being said, the kit that the TF's have been issued of the last, lets say year and a half, that was all an interim purchase that was meant to hold the CF over (issuing only to TF types) until a main contract was signed (just this...

    CADPAT Rain Gear

    6-8 months depending on where you are. Takes time to make all the kit. I know you guys want it now (I'd like to have it too) but the manufacturer can only make so much at a time. Like all new kit there is a phasing in process. Who knows, some units may get it in say, June, others might be as...

    Boot, General Purpose (Mk III acting/interim replacement)

    I feel part of the issue with the eyelets being snug together is that the manufacturer may or may not have taken into consideration that some of us have smaller calves than others. In my personal opinion they should have reduced the amount of material on the uppers of the boot to allow this to...

    No BMQ courses in May??

    The Mega is quite large and could handle both at once. Instead of running 2 English and 2 French BMQ's they may elect to run 2 and 1, or 1 and 2, or 1 and 1 per week. They've done this many times before, and will do it many times from now. I don't think Mr. Wallace was trying to be harsh, just...

    No BMQ courses in May??

    Best of luck on your BMQ. Keep your head in the game, do what they say and you all will do fine. Treat all criticism like water off a ducks back if they chew you out. Take what they say, build on what you have and you will do great on the course. They aren't there to break you and make you fail...
