Hello, I apologize for having to ask this here, but being ROTP, I am no longer closely attached to a unit from my element within 200km of my location. I am working on getting my uniforms in order now that I am in the Navy, and I have ordered a few extra shoulder board sets.  I purchased some...

Well, to answer your questions, yes you can parade with a unit on weekends/training nights if you have the time and if the reserve unit is willing to train you. As for pay grades, it is dependant on your rank and pensionable time in. I've just gone through the CT a couple of months ago into...

Well, thank you to all for your insight.  I will keep all of this advice in mind, and hopefully apply it successfully! ekpiper

Good Day, I had heard previously on here that MARS III was a very difficult trade, with a high failure rate.  While at RMC for Recruit Camp, it was mentioned many times that the fail rate was 72%.  I am now very curious about what aspects of the course are so hard as to cause such a high...

No joke about picking out Bravos!  It was a great time, and I can't wait to see everyone on BMOQ next summer! And they're right about being glad you're getting pay...I've still got nothing.

I definitely see where Petamocto is coming from.  Banks need to be regulated into not giving a ridiculous amount of credit just for making minimum payments.  Lenders must also not be allowed to charge stupid interest rates.  Credit rating must be judged along with with income level, and then...

I can't remember where I read it (I'll keep looking for a source), but I do not believe that you can apply for ROTP if you currently hold a degree, as it's considered redundant.  WRT pay, under ROTP, you as an LS would be treated as though you CT'd into your trade, and paid accordingly, with...

No Worries, Occam, it happens. ekpiper

Sorry Occam, but the chart which you provided places the INTEGRATED hd4200 below the DESKTOP x1600 and 6600gt, and close to the MOBILITY x1600.  Also, where the discrete cards had 128MB or 256MB of GDDR3 RAM dedicated to them, the HD4200 shares the RAM with the motherboard, so it doesn't really...

Hi, The Processor is more than adequate...any laptop (not netbook) would be. The Radeon 4200 is not adequate, as it scores below the 6600gt in all tests, and the 6600gt is then only the minimum.  I think that you were looking at a Gateway laptop on TigerDirect, as I found a laptop with the...

WRT naming, I really think Canada needs better names.  There's no real lustre or power in the names, just a place.  It's not inventive, and it's not alluring.  I actually think that better  ship names might actually be good for recruiting, as it stirs up emotions in people, showing qualities...

I'm guessing that since it's too late to be doing a BMQ or other course that he is just going there to work.  If he is taking plane or train in, call the CG BOR and they should have a driver arranged to pick him up.  If he is POMV, he should drive to Carleton University and check in at the...

A couple of my favourite moments: 1:  While on the field-ex during BMQ, a MCpl who always picked on Pte Bloggins calls out "Pte. Bloggins, are you sleeping?"  Pte. Bloggins responds "Yes." MCpl retorts "Yes who?" Bloggins corrects himself "Yes, Master!" 2:  The day following a weekend...

At 200 points per year, you shouldn't have enough to be over the 500 point mark where you lose any excess...that is unless you've been classed Tier 1 DEU, when you receive a total of 500 points/year.  And if it is something that should be initial issue, I think that you're supposed to talk to...

My word, that is a lot of charges!  How did a guy like this fly under the radar for so many years?

They'd have to be fools to lower recruiting when the Navy is significantly understrength...that being said, they'll probably lower recruiting. :P

I have the identical problem (sizes and everything), except I'm a 42 chest.  As a result, when I'm in 3b, I use a 15.5" neck that I could never wear so that the shirt hangs properly.  I use a 16" short sleeve for under my tunic, but the shirt is very baggy.  Annoying, but I think it's designed...

Sorry to branch off of the Gagetown/Kingston thing, but I was wondering if anyone could explain the difference between Transitional PLD and Regular PLD, and when someone is eligible/ineligible for the TPLD.  I ask as I am in Windsor and am being brought in to the Reg Force, and in Windsor there...

I don't see an emoticon for how hard I laughed at that...but as a Trekkie, that would be flipping great to have his signature on my commissioning scroll!  Whether or not he would be a good GG is quite questionable though.  There is a release of the "Captain's Summit" which he is in (released...
