    Username change

    Just letting everyone know, so there is no confusion. Fun to say or not, I feel that the username I chose when I signed up here is probably a mistake if I want to be taken seriously. So I have decided to drop the "cute" part, but keep "boots" so you still know who I am. You can call me either...

    I love Engrish

    Marie (my roommate) and I decided to try one new item from the ethnic foods section every time we went to the grocery store. When we saw this one, we just had to get it. I'll just let the picture speak for itself. :D

    Thanks

    Thank you Pea, SoF, Bookedspice, HitorMiss, and everyone who has been helping me get through things... I really appreciate it. I did go to my grad today, even though I really wanted to just stay in bed. It turned out to be nice, and good for me to get out of the house. Looking through the...

    Would a visit to Thailand affect the background check?

    The title is my question. I don't know what the list of 'problem' countries are. I don't think it would be on it, but it's better to check first. A search for Thailand turns up only two posts, neither of which are relevant.

    BASc degree

    A search turned up nothing... so here goes. I don't actually have a BSc degree in computer science, I have a BASc. This is a combined degree that my university offers where you take the course requirements for both a BA and for a BSc, and you pick one field for each. So I got computer science...

    Universities, the military, and political beliefs.

    Ok here's a better question for you, so you all don't end up thinking I'm like Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde. ::) From what I understand, the requirement for all officers (all new ones anyway) to hold degrees is relatively new. In general, the military tends to be a conservative section...

    Grave responsibility

    Today at work it hit me suddenly how much of a responsibility is involved. It's not just my own life that I am going to put on the line when I sign up, but the lives of others as well. As an officer, I won't be just part of the team, I will be leading, and that means that men and women will be...

    Who else has trouble...

    I've been here about two weeks now, and I'm just dying to start new threads and get to know everyone. I quickly got the impression that it's frowned upon to post things unless you are going to 'add' to the board. That's ok, it's just not what I'm used to. Any other message board and I would have...

    Birthdays

    I did a search for this topic and couldn't find my question answered, so here goes. Is it appropriate to do things like buy birthday cards for your subordinates? Someone suggested to me once that it could be considered fraternising.

    Should I just wait?

    Ok. I have now spent a good deal of time reading through the boards, the faq posts, doing searches, etc. Now I will try to rephrase my first post more productively. I want to apply, as a DEO. I have a university degree and so on. I have a medical issue which I am sure will need to be taken...

    I'm a little scared

    Hi everyone, I absolutely hate applying for jobs, and this one is no exception. There's so much testing and paperwork and waiting... it's enough to make my stomach turn, and I haven't even begun the process yet. :-[ There's so much to prepare for... I am already working on physical training (I...
