I didn't think they had a seperation allowance anymore? Anyway, what I am looking for specifically is what distance does your spouse have to be from you to retain rations and quarters and receive your TD allowance while you are on course. I guess it's easier for me to explain rather than people...

Whats the min. km distance of separation of spouse and member to be entitled to TD?  If anyone has a copy accessible via internet could you please post the link, thank you. Cpl4Life

OMG man! Have you not read Curse of the WereRabbit??  Or even yet, saw the Wallace and Grommit movie? Bunnies are evil! And very scarY!

I also wonder why guys think they have to swear so much?  It usually doesn't bother me, except when guys in uniform are out in public, carrying on like children that have just learned their first swear words. What do these fellows wives and girlfriends think?  If I came home swearing half as...

Yes its an American term.  Funny, my nickname in college was Torch.

Excellent idea on the course on how to act in public.  I feel in or out of uniform you are setting an example not only for the public but your fellow soldiers.  I'm proud of my job and I am here to serve my country, not get a paycheque, spend it on booze and make myself look like an @ss.  I...

I've lived in both Edmonton and Winnipeg.  Both cities are a bit on the hick-side, but if you like country then you'll feel right at home  ;D The mosquitos aren't any worse in Winnipeg than in Ontario, and the snow isn't any worse than we had in Edmonton.  Anyone who complains about either is a...

I'm also tired of looking at some ugly white male bootay.  Here's one just for you zipperhead.

Are you using Mozilla Firefox?  Cause thats what I use and I can't get in.  When I attempt it LOOKS like I'm in chat to others but nothing happens on my end.  I had to login with IE to access chat.  Darn microsoft.  Darn them.

I used to ride to work every day until we got posted to 17 Wing.  We got posted in November and once I got here, I just got out of the habit and got lazy basically.  I figure I do PT every day so that keeps me in shape.  If I wasn't doing PT every day though I would seriously be biking as often...

I can see obvious bias in the bike couriers comments; what I am trying to find out if does anyone know if this is the true cause of no bikes in the winter at 17 Wing?  I'm going to check up on this, could be the guard was mistaken (not saying he/she was, but I'm not going to believe everything I...

Awesome information, thank you Atrox!  I am citing both sites in my paper. Thanks again, Cpl4Life

Heya 3rd Herd, Thanks for the info. on the German Embassy, that is a great idea!  When doing proper research, an important aspect is to search out, and speak with people who possess first hand knowledge, sometimes second hand (via deceased relatives, etc).  I try not to rely too too much on the...

I'm doing a research paper and have some questions on what equipment the German Airborne used during Somalia around 1993.  Anyone here can help me out a bit?  I can't find anything concrete on the net.  Also curious about some German terms for their military - is Airborne considered part of the...
