Thanks, Baden Guy!  :) I do not know yet if I will get to stay at my current unit or will have to move.  The only thing I know right now is that I'll be staying in Greenwood.  My VIE is 3 yrs, so hopefully I will stay put until then at the very least.  My hubby and I both love the valley!

Got my CT offer this week...Reg F as of 1 Feb 12!  All of my quals were granted on the PLAR!  Very happy!  ;D

Just a little update:  I achieved a personal best on my Expres Test - stage 8 on the shuttle - and I attribute that at least in part to adding skipping to my workout regimen.  Not bad for a 40 y/o female, eh?  ;D  Next goal - stage 9...think I'm going to need to start doing triathlons or...

I saw that comment.  It actually made me wonder if they were trying to draw an analogy between the Taliban torturing innocent Afghans and Canadian police ousting "innocent" protesters - i.e. the CF should step in to help them the same way we did for Afghan people.  I don't know if that's what...

Good one!  ;D :remembrance:

Lord of the Flies (William Golding) comes to mind as I read this blog.  Suddenly, the leaderless movement has leaders, and guess  what...they aren't sharing the wealth with the rest of the "99%".  Priceless.  8)

Well, Tom_Swift, I am currently able to do four double unders before 'doubling under' myself (i.e. tripping).  ;D  Still working on form, you might say.  Looks like a good, albeit terribly painful, workout you have there.  Someday, I may work up to that, but for now, I think I'll stick to doing...

I recently added skipping to my workout regime and have to say that I am getting my butt kicked! (Sometimes literally, ouch!)  Seriously, what an incredible cardio workout skipping is!!  I can't believe it took me this long to 'discover' it and add it to my weekly schedule (especially since I...

:rofl:

Another congrats, TFly!  It's a great feeling, isn't it?  :)  Enjoy your 3's!

@Steve543 - The CT application is available online (if I were at work, I could pull up the link but I don't have it at home).  Be sure to advise your CoC of your intentions prior to filling out an application.  You will need to name a supervisor who will be the POC for your application, and of...

It occurs all the time, actually.  Air reservists like myself do all reg force training, wherever that trg is being offered (St. Jean being the most popular unit for basic trg at the moment, although I did mine at NRTD Borden while they were still running reg force BMQ there...pre-cutbacks). ...

My next Expres test is in November.  My main goal is to beat all previous scores, including my 7.0 on the shuttle last time - I am aiming for 8.0 this time.  My push-ups are suffering these days, though, and I'm a lot shy of the 21 that I did last time, so I'm hoping to work up to minimum 25 in...

Word on the street is September-ish for most trades.  However, that may be just straight CT, not OT/CT.  In any case, be patient because it can take a while.  (I am waiting, too. ;))

First try today and won a coffee!  Woohoo!!  ;D

Thank you for the info.  This is what I have been told - that now with RPSR, you can track how many days you worked so the old 1/4 calculation is not used anymore.  The 1.4 is interesting, though.  In any case, I am glad I will not lose days when I do a buyback.

Do you have a ref for this?  My CC and I were discussing this very topic today and she insisted that the Class A 1/4 calculation is no longer the way it is done...she says it goes by # of days worked in a year in total, A or B.  I was sure I had read what you just posted not too long ago, but...

Thank you.  I hope you are right.  :P

Der Panzerkommandant, There are two things that I hope will help me with the CT process: (1) I have had all RegF trg (Air Reserve), (2) I have worked in a severely understaffed OR for the past 10 mos and had to learn and do things that a Pte doesn't normally learn/do in the year following QL3...
