Just hung up from my SEM and Phase 3 is from 16 June 20 to 23 July and Phase 4 29 July to 12 Sept

Very interesting! I got an email from my SEM over a month ago with course dates for Phase 3 11 June -23 July and phase 4 28 July to 12 Sept.  I just recieved an email from the Capt running the course indicating the same date as above. Did the course dates get changed or did the email contain the...

So is there a bright side to living in the PMQ's?  and with a family?

I have another question in regards to getting posted.  I will be getting my first posting quite soon and I was under the impression that I would have a number of different options that were completely up to me and my family.  Whether we wanted to live in PMQ's or buy a house it was up to us.  Am...

I wonder if that movement is heading south.  Heard on March 15 there is a huge peace movement and protest to pull troops out of A-stan.  Although the one in Windsor seems to be strickly about the Afghan mission, not recruiting.

Good to know and will do. Thanks

My civilian job having no bearing over my posting is quite understandable and I pretty much figured that, but I was still curious.  I completely understand that my primary job is with the CF and will come first. So basically no matter what my current situation is or what I have done, will have...

I am an ROTP officer in the regular force who parades with a reserve unit becauase as an ocdt in the reg force we have no training throughout the year and I do not care for that.  So I volunteer my time at a reserve base.  In the ROTP we are paid to go to school and thats it.  Anything else we...

I do not need to be near my family, but I do need to stay in Ontario because of my licences and qualifications I have a with a financial company I work for, as well my finance works there as well.  I have been volunteering at a reserve base training with them during the week and participating on...

lol Yes I am aware of that.  Basically wherever I am needed I will be sent, but I do have three choices I need to put down with some sort of hope of being sent there.

I was wondering if anyone would be able to direct me where to get information when deciding on where to get posted to for the first time.  I am an OCDT and I graduate at in April 2008.  I will be applying for my first posting and I am not really sure where to get good info.  I am tried talking...

As far as I have been told, Log phase 3 starts at the beginning of June and runs 6 weeks, so roughly half way through July.  For the phase training it depends on when you were enlisted. I graduate this year and do phase 3 and sometime do phase 4, but I also enlisted in my second year of...

With the opposition groups speaking out against the war in Iraq and Afghanistan due to the casualty rate being unacceptable, it is interesting to put it into perspective.  http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53103 I came across this website showing the casualties faced in the United...

The reason why I started this topic was to gather some insight in why I hear so much about the zero tolerance in the CF, and on the other side I hear so much about drug use. I guess my question was partially answered.  Yes it is because of people like myself who do not report this type of...

point noted. I guess this is my first test as a future officer.  I failed.  I have repeatedly expressed my opinion to them, but unfortunately on this issue I have to take the walk of shame. I cannot report my friends to the MP's, which leads my to option 2.

How do you report your buddies to the MP's when you grew up your whole life with them? I have shared my viewpoints and disgush with them, but honestly how would I report them to the MP's? I am an Ocdt in the ROTP what place to do I have reporting people. (this is meant to be said in a...

How big a deal is this drug testing? I have numerous friends in the navy reserves and every exercise or course they go on all I hear about is them partying and getting high, not smoking weed but experimenting with harder drugs.  I have heard this every summer for years.  Are the reserves just...

Another question in regards to transport.  Where does the logistics portion of transport end and say the infantry part start?  For example on overseas deployment when the troops are fighting on the front lines and a reshipment of supplies are needed.  Where does the infantry part of transport...

I was wondering if someone would be able to tell me how often a logistics transport officer would see action when posted overseas, possiblely in a place such as A-stan.  I know this is kind of a weird question, but I have been quite curious.  Thanks :cdn: Support our Troops  :cdn:

In light of all the conversation and controversy about the education of our youth here in Canada, here is a video that is quite disturbing but also makes you think twice about complaining about our education system. That's not to say I support what profs are teaching and students are believing...
