He actually gave his resignation in fall 2013, and agreed to stay through that training year.

Squad two of "shoulder-golf clubs"?

(Ninja'd by EITS' second post. I whole-heartedly second his comments.) It is the primary means of training troops for cardiovascular fitness, which means stamina, which means fitness for the field. If you have very strong cardio that you train by other means, great. Your biggest problems are...

They are interesting to work with. Here's a map and list of patrols. Clicking on the locations should give an idea if there are spots available.

Short answer, you'll be a target. Cardio is important for the field. If you can't keep up, you're ineffective. For PT, running generally equals cardio. Staff will identify you as weak, and it will be difficult for them to help you succeed. Try to help them help you by getting cardio and showing...

As someone who's been injured and re-injured with significant consequences, inform your staff of your situation, go to the MIR when you believe you may be hurt (as opposed to pushing yourself), and keep a can-do attitude without seriously jeopardizing yourself. First blush says you are not in...

I wish that this was more generally the case. Unfortunately, in the case of reserve officers, there is often no such period of training. You've got a degree and you're sworn in? You're a 2Lt. Plenty of commissioned officers show up on recruit courses without any substantial training. I've had...

...which we do, for musicians. http://www.cmp-cpm.forces.gc.ca/dhh-dhp/musi/ci-ic/index-eng.asp

It's a place for marking time, be it as a broken ex-cpl or a retiree cushioning their income. Why would I stay there beyond the short-term? To pursue my dream of becoming a photo radar operator? Long hours, less-than-awesome pay, and a variable schedule. No real prospects in the long term. Some...

No. If you're referring to meteorological technician, it is a regforce-only trade and you can not enter it part-time. http://www.forces.ca/en/job/meteorologicaltechnician-10 If you want to be a meteorologist, you will have to go to school to become one - nothing to do with the military. If you...

There is a difference between a backpacker in europe sewing a maple leaf flag on their gear, and fighting while wearing the national colours. You only get to do the latter while fighting on behalf of the national government.

Becoming?

Which could be a bad option, if there are any benefits, such as PSHCP, which the parent would want to exercise for their kid.

And next of kin remains the kid, and the only one to whom LTA is related.

I did, and enjoyed it: "Little Fuzzy". Been a few years and the memory's too fuzzy to contrast it -short story, as was much of the writer's stuff. Solid writer, some of it was along the lines of De Camp's. If you've ever read (and liked) "Lest Darkness Fall", "Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen" would...

Fuzzy Nation made a pretty good present for mom, which I carried out careful quality control for. It also makes a nice intro to H. Beam Piper's work, which Scalzi riffed it from.

Not familiar with the timex. Watchminder woke me up six days into an ex with six hours sleep.

Watchminder. A watch with a vibration alarm - wake up without waking up the guys next to you, and even if the guy on shift before you fell asleep at his post.

Preface: I neither support nor have any firsthand knowledge of what these guys are up to. My understanding is that this "organization" is hashing together international airfare and an address book for folks to hook up with the peshmerga. I doubt they even manage most of the former. These...

I've even worked in an OR with a typewriter. I feel pretty fricking old right now.
