    Does all your BOTC kit stay with you upon graduation?

    I was issued all the kit at St. Jean, and returned all the 'green' stuff.  I didn't get anything on NETP-O, they issued all the 'black' kit there and boy, was it a lot to cart from Quebec to Victoria.  @ Rob 1972: Good luck with NOAB, I'm a DEO myself (MARS).

    Recruitment Trial Advice

    I don't remember what I was told, but regardless, I put a copy of my current prescription in the file I had with me.  Turned out to be helpful, and it doesn't hurt to carry a bit more paper. Agreed with ixium, current is better.  I go yearly so it was no big deal.

    DND may be shopping for new subs, sources say

    Geo; I shudder at the thought of feast or famine.  However, might this not be the time to start asking the questions, at least?  If it's 8 years (then add in further fudge factors), then starting the intellectual ball rolling might be a sign that ongoing procurement is a possibility.  Of course...

    Canadian Politics: Nothing Matches its Stupidity

    +1 GreyMatter It would be nice if all the parties remembered that they are all on the same side ( :cdn:).  Different visions, same mission.  The endless partisanship gets tiresome.  Kinda makes you want to get elected for no other reason than to table a resolution indicating the sun rises in...

    I GOT A CALL FOR the NOAB" Threads

    I've been scheduled for the Oct. 2007 NOAB.  Just waiting to get the paperwork/stuff at the CFRC.  Can't wait!  You can also find the day-by-day for the NOAB (Oct. 2006) on the website; www.excelsia.org (search there by topic) for the photos and description (it's essentially the same post).

    The Real Reason for Dog and Pony Shows

    I so dearly wish I'd had that in school (any level).  Hardware on display, that would have been cool beyond measure (yeah, still can't take the kid outta me).  Maybe then I'd have applied much earlier.  We went to see HMCS Halifax in Toronto (and Oshawa) back in April, and my 5 year old...

    A Recruiting Success Story

    Bandit, that's awesome.  In reading your profile, we're almost clones (me: 34, ready for change, going for regforce MARS all the way).  Only difference is I'm further behind due to laser surgery on eyes (V5 to V1 in one op).  Otherwise just waiting for the response on the medical and get back in...

    HOT TUBS

    My parents have a Softub model at their cottage in near north Ontario.  It is much more stripped down, but they've had it out during the winter (brought it home to Whitby), and it's reasonably portable as well.  It won't have all the features of the built-ins, but it is much less expensive.  I...
