I have seen some members walking around with a new rain jacket, and have heard some hype about it.  I was wondering if anyone who has obtained the new rain gear can tell me their opinions on it, and if it would be worth going down to stores to pick it up. I know that they have been issuing the...

Further news on this... New people have been arriving at CFNES, and if they fall into this category, they have been Attached Posted.  The ones who were here before (like me) have now been posted back to BTL at NDHQ, and then Attached Posted back to CFNES. As for the rumoured CANFORGEN, the...

My last week in Farnham (Week 12) ended on Easter weekend.  Depending on which week you'll be in at the time will dictate from the staff when you get released for the weekend. For us, we returned from the field on the Wednesday afternoon, went to the QM at HD4 to get our parade whites and for...

I've been drunk before, but not THIS drunk...    :facepalm:

It would allow for some kind of equality, I'm sure.  But that sort of argument is a bit out of my lane.  I only know what I know. It will certainly make it easier to post people out of BMQ.  As for the members on qualification courses right now (like myself), it will definitely add more...

OK... my bad... lol

Depending on your trade in the Navy, you could be posted to different types of units (Ships are technically considered a Unit) Most trades that are shipboard specific, such as Bos'n, or W Eng Tech, are usually posted to a ship after they have been initially qualified.  There are some instances...

OK... So I have some more information regarding this.  My PO gave me a copy of an email that pertains to this subject, and was sent through our trade career manager from the BTL management. Basically, the crux of it is that any BTL NCM students that who were enrolled before 1 Sep 12 and will...

I actually knew a guy in high school that complained that his quater-pounder wasn't a quarter of a pound of meat.  I had to tell his dumb "rear-end" that it referred to the weight of the meat BEFORE it was cooked... Some people...  :facepalm:

Yeah, that's them...  And I'm pretty sure something came down for the bunch of us that it applied to.  I'll have more to post when I get updated. I hope we don't have to forage... I suck at it...  ;D

I'm in the same boat, as well.  However, I have been in constant contact with my POs and have been told that they are trying to contact the people who organize the BTL to get myself and another member at my unit switched to TD or Attach Posted so that we don't have to pay for our rations until...

In between classes during my QL3s, one guy says: "I think, when I retire, I'm gonna be a kindergarten teacher, so I can mark stuff in crayon," to which the response from the other guy was, "I'm gonna be a college teacher and do the same thing!" Kudos to the future college professor who will...

Actually, the message did outline that all separation expense claims would no longer be claimable, so the $400 a month that people were recieving for SE every month is no longer claimable. As for possible solutions, I was also told today that they may be looking at changing my posting status...

So, between reading more of the postings on this topic, and speaking with my PO and a couple other people who have their finger on the pulse, I figure it's better just to deal with it, head on. One of the pieces of advice I had received was to go to SISP and get them to draw up a budget with...

While this statement is likely true, I find myself in the same situation as Dexen.  I am currently on my QL3s, and I start my 2nd semester in September.  I am in Halifax, and my wife and 1 year old son are near Petawawa, on the Quebec side.  I have been told by my PO that I can write a memo to...

I thought I'd sneak on here and be the first to offer my congrats to you, Pte. Owen.  Good job in staying the course. I know that you had your good times and your bad times, but you managed to see this place through to the end.  Good luck and god speed with the rest of your career. And so you...

To anyone rocking at the Mega right now, I'm Richards, on WFT 1, so I have a big "W" on my front, and the awesome orange brassard on my arm.  Still happy to be here, no matter where I am...

Lucky sumbitch...  I get the floor or the bench at the MTL train station, waiting for your skinny butt... well, at least mine's free... Rev

Yeah, but not in a theatre... especially when people are watching a movie... I've been in a theatre once or twice...  when the movie is on, you don't need a flashlight. Rev
