    Canada Post Woes (merged)

    Plot twist: How long does everyone think it'll take Logistik Unicorp to find another courier provider? Back story: I have had a couple students approach me about getting replacement items for Remembrance Day, thinking that they would have time to get the replacements and then have them...

    Leave - mbr has none left

    I distinctly remember being on PAT platoon at CFNES over some random holiday (maybe March Break) where the classes were not running, and we were mustered in the morning, those of us with taskings were sent on our way (I think it was one random dude working for the BCPOs office, TBH), and the...

    Boots on the ground

    And now the CAF is in a procurement slump. I went to PLQ a few years ago, and had to fight for everything on my kit list. I even had to go to multiple clothing stores because they didn't have everything in one location for me. "Infantry before" does not equal "CAF standards now". "You get...

    Shower in BMQ

    I also recommend showering before you go to bed, because you will screw your platoon over if you are showering in the mornings before inspection. Showering before bed also allows your body to relax and comfortable when you go to sleep, at least in my experience. Please, for the love of your...

    Bottom pockets DEU

    It's usually where I put my iPhone on Remembrance Day. And the key fob for my car, because (believe it or not) there is a little pocket for a pocket watch on the Navy tunic that fits my KIA fob perfectly. That way, I don't have any weird bulges on my thighs, and I have the bare minimum that I...

    King Charles III Coronation Medal

    Naval Fleet School in Halifax just had their medal ceremony today for it. Looks like they are rolling them out now. The numbers they said for who was being awarded it though were around 4000 military and only 90 public service employees. That doesn't exactly seem fair, unless they were...

    Possibily of being kicked out of CAF

    Gonna echo what everyone else is saying here, and add this... Do you know what you call someone who graduated at the bottom of their class at medical school? Doctor. The staff at CFLRS isn't looking to fail you; they are looking to see if you learn from your mistakes. No one, and I mean NO...

    Residential Housing Units -Updated CFHA Policy Dec 2024

    So... I'm sorry if this sounds insensitive, as it is not my intention, but aren't personnel posted to a training facility (like NFS(A), as an example) for a RQS3 course that lasts almost a year on RESTRICTED posting status? Meaning they have to live in barracks, on base (unless they have...

    Living in shacks as a 30+ y/o

    So, I have a few points, and I can sympathize having dealt with things of this nature both at the barracks and the apartment PMQ levels. 1. Reporting or pointing out that people are being little shits in shacks isn't "snitching" or "ratting" them out, unless you provide names. If you want to...

    Teen Walmart worker found dead at store in mysterious oven incident - Halifax

    It may be important to everyone speculating here that this particular Walmart has been under renovations for quite some time now. There have been areas of the store cordonned off for repairs / upgrades, and the rest of the store was usually busy as all hell, based on the central location of the...

    What can I do to set myself up to be a Pl Comd at CFLRS in 10-15 years

    Had a great group of BMQ instructors when I went through, but my WO was a bit uncouth in his attitude towards people who joined from the PAT platoon, because he thought they were lazy, and came across as pompous towards the anglos on course (it was an english BMQ course, and there were more than...

    James Earl Jones: 17 Jan 1931 - 09 Sep 2024

    The second possibility being Morgan Freeman? I am personally impressed that, even though Darth Vader was such a high-profile role, he seemed to be ok with only being paid a pittance, comparatively speaking, to what the role was worth. I mean, he didn't even take credit for the voice work in...

    got this e-mail but no letter

    So, in reading the email content you have provided, at the time you had your medical interview there were issues that the medical officer had with your file, condition, background, etc. that would mean that unfortunately, you do not meet the medical standards for the universality of service...

    Traffic Ticket

    ^^ THIS ^^ When I enrolled, I had found out that I had a suspended licenence in Ontario on file (apparently, it had been suspended AFTER I moved to Quebec and switched my licence over, but never got any information on it in the 7+ years after it was "suspended"). When they did my background...
