My chief had to put his weight in the balance because at first, they said there was nothing left for me.  When I talked to my CPO1, he called the accomodation clerk and suddently, a single room was offered to me at Berney's Block!  Hahahaha!  As I am in imposed restriction, I guess this is why I...

Hey!  I am in Esquimalt right now and guess what!  I got my own room at Bernay's block!  COOL!

Yes I am driving, from July 28th to August 6 (they allow me 10 days to drive there, and I sure will take the 10 days travelling around).  I will look for deers, thanks for the advice! 

FEMALE??  ouhhhhhh, temptations.....  ok, ok, I will try to be a responsible hubby!  Mouhahahahahahahahaha!!!

Thanks again guys, I will do the best I can to have my own room, yet in a polite and professional way.  I am so anxious to get there!  (The wife is not so excited!) but she will love Victoria, I am sure!

Hi everyone, I am just about to leave from Montreal to go to my first posting at CFB Esquimalt, BC.  I am on "restriction imposee" (sorry for the French term, I don't know the English translation).  That means I will be living on "quarters and rations" at Nelles Block until my house is sold in...

salut, je viens de me ré-enrôler dans la marine comme mécanicien de marine.  Il n'y a rien de plus faux que de dire que la Marine n'enrôle pas!!  Ils ont besoin de beaucoup de monde, comme partout ailleurs.  Comme il a été mentionné plus haut, va au Centre de recrutement, tu veras bien!  Bonne...

my apologies navymich, you are right, I did ask a week ago.  I did ask at CFRC today as I was sworn in this morning, they said I could try to get my kit as CFB St-Jean but they doubt I will get my kit here.  I will probably get my kit in Esquimalt after all.  Anyways, the recruiting center told...

Great HitorMiss...  I will try that!  Thanks...

Hi...  I have re-enlisted as "able seaman" with IPC3 and my trade is "marine engineering mechanic".  What does IPC3 means?  does it mean that I will be promoted to "leading seaman" next year?  Also, my trade gets spec pay (I beleive you get spec 1 when you become leading seaman) so if in fact I...

Great!  Thank you for your reply...  I didn't think the ship would have internet access!  :salute:

Hi, I know it is a silly question but do sailors aboard canadian warships have internet access to communicate with their family?  Eihter with their personnal portable computer or by a possible ship's computer?  I know internet access is highly improbable aboard a ship but technology nowadays is...

ok guys, thanks for the replies...  I will do like Sub_Guy said and try to get at least the NCD's...  I just don't want to stand out of with my civies.  :salute:

yeah, I know it is a paint to ship all the kit but it sucks to work in civies, I wonder what kind of work they will make me do for 1 month at the CFRC dressed in civies.  someone told me that Longue-Pointe is Canada's main supply for clothing, don't know if it is true.  If it is, it would be...

Hello everyone, I have just been enlisted as qualified so I don't have to go through BMQ or QL3.  I will be Able Seaman.  They posted me in Esquimalt from July 28th but until then, I will work at the CFRC in Montreal.  They said I would get my uniforms when I get to Esquimalt so I will have to...

Hi everyone, I just got the call from the recruiting office in Montreal.  I will be posted on HMCS Winnipeg on July 28th 2006 in Esquimalt!!  YESSSSS!  I wonder if there are any crew member from the Winnipeg on this board?  I am a stoker and will be granted MAT2 with CPR3 as I have previous...
