I actually passed the line up the blocks test but could only get about 4 out of 15 on the number in the dots test on a good day. I also did terribly on the lantern test, with the two coloured dots about 10 feet away in a dark room. And every med tech who saw my profile wanted to confirm it or...

I thought I remembered someone saying it wasn't there a few years ago but it could have been gone for 19 for all I know. Does anyone have any idea of the policies for visiting the Armoury? In particular the Officers Mess? I remember a large picture of all PLF officers from 1983 with a very...

Are the PLF and 723 Comm still in the Halifax Armoury? I'm visiting Halifax for the first time in about 19 years in July and I wanted to see the old building and show my kids where the military experiences for both myself and my wife began. I don't get homesick and all that but I'm definately...

Now that you mention it I think I've gotten them about twice but not in a long while. It will be a shame to fall off the shr because I'd love to keep the connection to the cf and they are big on military discounts down here. Got a great rate at an onsite hotel at Univeral Orlando with a quick...

Martha Patterson? As in Col Patterson's daughter? OMG I'm feeling old again  :(  Not that I would expect you to remember me - just another male reso offr cadet in the plf at the same time you were there. We were a dime a dozen, but females, in particular the CO's daughter, you remember. Feeling...

I was kind of wondering about that myself as I've been out for 7 years now and I currently live in the US. I guess unless I move back in 3 years it will be off the the SHR for me.

I knew some great officers from 728 back when I was in 723 and then in 746 but that was a long time ago. When do you plan on transferring? What courses will you be able to get in that time? What rank do you hope to attain? What education level do you have/are pursuing? That might be the...

I remember those days all too well. Anything to get out of gagnam. My then fiance was driving up from Halifax for a weekend when she hit white out conditions around the border and started spinning around. She said the only reason she came to see me was because the car stopped spinning pointing...

Actually I believe she was, and deservedly so. Of course I am talking about 1984 so there may not be much relation to how things work today. Man it's scary when I realize how long ago some of these memories are  :o

I've never heard of anyone being told they can't use an electric razor. A small relatively cheap model is all you need for the short exercises you are likely to encounter for awhile. I always prefer the look and feel of a blade shave and used the electric only when time/conditions made it the...

That sounds about right. My address has changed about 3 times in 2 months with equifax. I live in the city of North Lauderdale which is in a larger area known as Pompano Beach and the two are often, incorrectly used interchangeably. It seems if the address that whoever is doing the check uses is...

Yes it is clearer. Is money actually being given to sponsors to bring over family members or is that extra money going to the department to hire more staff to clear up the backlog?

Agreed on all points, except for the go back where you came from stuff. I see no reason for the Canadian system to provide the same level of service to newcomers as it does for citizens or the Canadian equivalent of permanent residents (told you I wasn't up on my Canadian regulations). Some...

Again, I don't know the details of Canadian immigration procedures but it would make sense to conduct some kind of security check on any kind of potential immigrant. Did I say fling the doors open? As someone who has endured the process here in the US I'm the last person who wants someone to...

Is hypercritical really, really, really hypocritical?  :o I have no problem with some kind of 'contract' or agreement about paying for the care of your relatives. I had to fill out forms for my wife and kids indicating what my resources were and promising that they wouldn't become burdens in...

Well, I'm looney left-leaning softie, but I always thought keeping families together was a good thing. If a lawful, law abiding immigrant has reached a certain status, citizenship being an obvious level, then why shouldn't that person be able to bring their family to be with them using a timely...

I thought I did True. Can not the opposite be said of the right? Raising fear of the immigrant community? Politics and politicians suck on both sides of the spectrum. Yes, immigrantion is always a 'comfort' issue for the left, as much as guns and superior morality are for the right.

Wow!!! Bruce Monkhouse starting a thread slamming "Liberal Spin Dooctors", whoda thunkit? Cause we all know them them good, honest conservative types never put a spin on any of their ideas  ::) Sure, that's one way to look at this announcement, and I won't argue with it. When did politicians do...

Same here. No issues at all with Firefox on this site. I did have issues a couple of weeks ago with conflicting extensions that caused crashing. Play with that and see if you can address your problem.
