    Neighbours strike deal with top-secret military base

    The reason they are where they are is its close proximity to the National Capital Region.  Think about their role, and then think about how effective they would be at achieving it from Moose Factory.

    'It's time to consolidate NDHQ' & 'DND to take-over Nortel Campus' (Merged threads)

    That's the one I was thinking of, thanks!  Duh, my cousin used to work at JDS!

    Credit Check Superthread- Merged Topics

    A friend of mine just tried the credit report offer, and it looks like all 10,000 have been used already.  Man that was fast - they just launched the promotion on the 20th! You can still check your credit online, but it'll cost you.  If you write via snail mail to Equifax and Trans Union it's...

    Retain the Monarchy in Canada?

    Come to think of it, Alberta might present just as much a problem, if not more than Quebec in convincing that there is a need for constitutional change.  Unless of course you could tack on a rider that included an elected Senate!

    Problems with University Evaluations

    Not to overly discredit my esteemed institution of higher learning, but midterm, final, and one paper per class was the standard for many of my upper year political science classes. Then there was Teacher's College.  That was a farce.  The hardest part was getting in.

    PM's New Bde of Peacekeepers (5,000 new soldiers), could it be a SOC Light Force?

    Chilliwack?  The Liberals certainly could use the extra votes in B.C. anyway.

    'It's time to consolidate NDHQ' & 'DND to take-over Nortel Campus' (Merged threads)

    A little off topic, but any new word on moving NDHQ out to the burbs?  I know consideration was being given to this plan to free up the prime real estate and to take advantage of a newly vacated high tech facility (Nortel in Kanata maybe?)

    NEW US Army Combat Uniform (ACU) debuts monday

    Some pers. at Wright-Patterson AFB were wearing the tiger stripe when I was there in May.  I gather this is a tial run then?

    5 year Cadet medals

    Here here Inch :salute: I can even live with bad spelling and grammar - everyone makes mistakes (perhaps some more than other).  However, you chose to slam someone simply because they asked nicely for you to be a little more coherent in your responses.  I fail to see how the other poster had...

    Retain the Monarchy in Canada?

    Hey, whatever happened to Mitsu?  Remember "Bye bye, mon cowboy"?  I'm pretty sure she's looking for work.

    who here works at C.F.B sheawater in nova scotia?

    Mmmmm, liver in Nova Scotia. Seriously though, there are many people on here from that area.  You may have to be more specific about what trade you're interested in.

    Retain the Monarchy in Canada?

    Mechanically, this idea may be a fair bit more difficult to implement than it first appears.  As it's currently enshrined, the Queen's Representative in Canada (i.e. the GG) is the Head of State.  So a great deal of constitutional change would be required to change this to a new line of...

    Credit Check Superthread- Merged Topics

    Mastercard has a promotion on right now that gives free online credit checks to the first 10,000 people.  It's through Trans Union, which is one of the two agencies (along with Equifax) that conduct credit reports in Canada.  This normally costs $15 to do online. As a warning, I was at my bank...

    officer or not?

    You're entitled to your opinion on this, and I would wholeheartedly agree that the two positions are indeed quite different.  Just wanted to clarify the pay issue though.  Officers of the CIC receive 23 days pay per year, plus pay for any training or summer employment.  CO's of Cadet units...

    5 year Cadet medals

    This is not what's written in the policy.   The policy document that was linked from here indicates that a cadet can indeed transfer from corps to corps "...such eligible service may be portable between army cadet corps." - paragraph 8. Also, there is no indication in the policy that there is...

    See what happens when you critize someone else's spelling?  Seems like we're all human after all.

    Where to begin?!  This post is complete NONSENSE!!!  :rage:  I don't know if you realize what you're saying in this post, or whether you're just rambling, or whether you've made a LOT of honest typos. As for the original question, 24 is not too old.  Like anything else in life, some of your...

    5 year Cadet medals

    Most CIC were awarded the Queen's Jubilee medal in the same manner as everyone else in the CF; a completely random lottery (love it or hate it).   Now, this doesn't include those who did something exceptional to earn the medal (for the cadet in question, she had an inordinate amount of community...

    5 year Cadet medals

    Cadet medals are not in the CF dress regs, therefore it's pretty simple - they cannot be worn on CF dress.  The only thing even close to an exception that I've seen is a cadet who earned the Queen's Jubilee medal as a cadet and then joined the reg force and continued to wear it (since that medal...

    Joining the primary reserves after 3B release

    If you're interested in going the CIC route, I've seen exemptions granted numerous times.  One officer was enrolled missing a kidney, and another with severe (i.e. life threatening) allergies.  Also know of a serving CIC officer who has had hernia problems, and has been hospitalized for this...
