The downtown location is a lot easier, especially if you live in the east end like I do, driving all the way to Pearson is a pain...

I flew home on Porter for the first time, and was quite happy with them. The price was comparable (or better) than Air Canada or Westjet, the plane was quiet and had tons of legroom (not something I often see on a plane being 6'3") and most importantly, free beer in flight ;)

We had a nickname for the obstacle course: "Career Ender." We lost one from our platoon to a broken wrist and almost lost another to head trauma, you have to be real careful on the damn thing, or it will destroy you...  >:D

If you are lucky, you might end up in the green sector with all of us who started on Sept. 7th. :P Enjoy your last weekend of freedom! Good luck!

Good luck! You will love every minute of it, it is a great experience, and a great introduction to your future career in the Navy. Best of luck to all of you that are going, the Navy needs you all  :salute: Nice Beatles reference by the way, props for that! Too bad it comes out on the ninth...

The planned start date for NOAB 0903 is September 28th.

I believe it has more to do with how many people can be trained at a time than with how many soldiers are in the army.

Congrats! Two people from my NOAB will be starting with you in January, they could not start next week with the rest of us due to family issues.

You didn't do anything wrong Mellian, I think the mod/admin made that clear above. Your post made sense to me.

Maybe that is why he has spent $90,000 on legal fees, he had to get all the documents translated into French  ::)

He spent $90,000 fighting a $54 ticket because it wasn't in French? What a waste, I would have just paid the ticket... As far as I know Alberta is an 'English' province, for lack of a better term, so why would the ticket be in French?

Well said FDO! I can't wait for the opportunity to see that you are proven right  :salute:

For sure, NOAB is a great experience and you will enjoy every minute of it!

You should find out within the next week or two, as the next board is only a month away. But don't worry if you don't, I didn't hear from them until the wednesday when I was supposed to leave on the sunday. Ours was a special case though, as they don't usually do a board in July, so you guys...

Anything where you have to pay to make money should always be looked at with suspicion. You know what they say: if it sounds too good to be true... it probably is.

The next BMOQ after September 7th is January 11th, 2010. Two people on my NOAB are going on that course as they cannot go in September due to family issues. Good luck!

I'm not even going to try to figure those out, I'm already getting a headache... All I can say is this: the American legal system sure is a piece of work!

My comment was likewise deleted, it wasn't even up 5 minutes. So much for freedom of speech.... If these guys hate Canada so much, why don't they just leave? I also flagged this video as inappropriate as the poster will not allow discussion on it, and only allows hate messages about Canada, so...

It says at the bottom of the document: A= ROTP, which is Regular Officer Training Program, which would be people going to RMC for example. B= OCTP-NFS, which I believe stands for Officer Cadet Training Program (ie BMOQ) No Former Service, so according to that pay scale that would be your pay...

At NOAB I asked specifically about signing bonuses, they said probably not again until 2011, some sort of spending freeze or something. Oh well, I'm still gonna do it  :salute:
