    What does the number in brackets mean beside the Roster tab?  I've done a search and read the documentation but nothing comes up.

    French Language Training

    I actually pray that I never get posted to St. Jean again and if I would be forced back there .. I will release.  It was a bad experience for myself and horrific experience for my family.  They were treated with complete and sometimes hostile disrespect although they tried their best to speak...

    PRETC thread (merged)

    One thing that really alarms me is the reception that some have gotten from their inquires about how to make the most of PRETC or (gasp!) improve it. I really hate the "suck it up", "because I did it" or "that's the way it is" responses to valid questions.  If it really was a "'cause I don't...

    CFRG and the broken recruiting system-Split

    Sometimes stereotypes are solidly based on facts so I present "The House of Lies".  I wondered what that meant over 3 years ago; after Basic, I wondered no more.

    CFHA Residential Housing Unit (RHU)-old PMQ [MERGED]

    I have lived with my family in the Q's for 2 years after having owned my own houses for over 15 years and my experiences have been nothing but postive.  I lived in Saint-Hubert and had great neighbours and a quiet neighbourhood with good schools there.  I am in Kingston now with the same...

    Albertas Oil ,Candas Mad Cow

    Quote from: Wingman on Yesterday at 21:26:15 There is confusion with who pays what in the country.  It is true that Ontario has never received equalization payments (inception 1957) and Alberta has not received since 1964.  It is also true that Alberta has paid around $137 billion into the...

    Albertas Oil ,Candas Mad Cow

    There is confusion with who pays what in the country.   It is true that Ontatio has never recieved equalization payments (inception 1957) and Alberta has not received since 1964.   It is also true that Alberta has paid around $137 billion into the program since 1957.   But this is assuming that...

    Nationalize the Petroleum Industry? Only in Canada....

    I would like to see another poll done.   Do you want the energy sector nationalized?   I wonder how many Quebec people would like their hydro power played with? Maybe we could nationalize our auto industry?     The Americans were funding and developing the oilfields of Canada (Alberta and...

    Nationalize the Petroleum Industry? Only in Canada....

    Here we go ... NEP Part Deux >> There is an ethanol factory going in in Barrie. And by the same logic, the government should put a shipbuilding yard in Saskatoon.  Maybe a lumber mill in downtown Toronto.  Centralize and nationalize the maple syrup industry with the HQ in Iqaluit.  Why...

    New DEOs and January BOTC

    [and the separation pay, another ~100 ] Separation pay is $345.00 for a full month.   I can't remember how much per day but this is what I received on CAP this fall. If you're married, you don't pay for R&Q which in St. Jean was $332.37 and $84.00 in the fall of 2003.   As a DEO, I was paid as...

    BOTP leadership test

    I am assuming that the person failed the field tasking 5 times not the weapons handling.   I will disagree with Garbageman on that fact does have to turn out well.  I don't believe that it has to be completed to pass BUT you must show that you knew what was asked and what your mission was and...

    Canadian Soldiers Pretend They're American for Video

    I think it was rather strange to imitate Illinois National Guard and then have the troops wear CADPAT.   :-\   Not that many in the general population would know the difference. I'm not sure how it makes them "second-hand soldiers" as one person responded.   I thought it was a nice gesture by...

    The Election

    "I would probably vote for the Conservatives if it wasn‘t for Stephen Harper. Just something about that guy that I don‘t like." "Yeah I get that feeling too. He doesn‘t seem inspiring and he doesn‘t look like a leader." Comparison perhaps.............. ‘He [King] was a man of no charisma, in...

    Question re: pay during BOTP

    Casing, good to hear from you again. To answer some of your questions. 1. After moving your family out, what were your living conditions? I moved my family into the PMQ‘s in St. Hubert about 30 minute drive from St. Jean. I have most of my F&E in storage back home under my own expense...

    Question re: pay during BOTP

    Oops, thanks Zoomie. Yes Q&R does‘t come off if you‘re married. I corrected my post. Tyrnagog, you will make about $1000-$1100 per paycheck. Then an extra $300 (approx.) for separation pay which is paid the month after. Remember that the military will not pay for any moves until you are...
