    Winnipeg to Petawawa - where to stop on TTNL?

    Not sure if we want to go through the US or stick to Canada.  Either way seems there's not a lot of options for decent hotels along the way.  It's about 2000 km's so we would have at least three nights along the way.  Does anyone have any suggestions for hotels or bed and breakfasts along the...

    Exclusivity agreements

    I've never signed one of these agreements simply because I've yet to have a realtor ask.  If I am asked to sign one I will insist on it being for a set number of days, in case I find the realtor is showing me crap houses or only the houses at the top end (or even over) my price range, etc.  I...

    What makes a hot resale in Petawawa?

    Wife and I are going for our HHT in three weeks. We can't decide what price range to look, but we really like nice homes and since my wife suffers from a condition that often glues her to the crapper, we need lots of bathrooms as well as min 4 bedrooms. There are two houses that look...

    ING Direct mortgage & porting using DND clause

    Has anyone here used the portability clause with ING? Specifically blend and extend, the clause says they will give you their best rate. I am unclear if this simply means their posted rate or the actual rate others are being offered. I like that they don't use the IRD for breaking a mortgage...

    Anyone else have an obsession with future postings?

    Nomij's post about rent around bases got me thinking.  My wife is obsessed with knowing at any given time what areas of a town/city we may be posted to is ideal for us.  She knows the approximate prices for the types of houses in the areas we would consider, and where the immediate amenities...

    Firstline Mortgage

    Has anyone here paid off (discharged) their mortgage with Firstline under the military group mortgage at terms end?    I don't have easy access to my mortgage dox until early Summer and our term is up at the end of March, kicking myself  for not bring a copy with me. Noticed the website states...

    Share your IRP move hints here

    I was reading the tips Petamocto posted in this thread:  http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/82975.15.html  and it got me thinking that I'm sure there's a lot more tips people may know about and want to share, or may not know and want to find out about being posted via IRP. If you have any...

    Globemaster - appropriate noise level for a toddler?

    I have an opportunity to take a short trip on the Globemaster and would like to take my 2 yr old along with me.  Since I've never been on a Globemaster before I need some feedback on the noise level and it’s appropriateness for a toddler?  How does the noise level compare to a Herc?

    MFRC hours

    How common is it for MFRC's to be open weekends and evenings?  I have found one MFRC to be open on Saturdays, but I haven't had the time to phone each one individually and inquire about their hours.  If your local MFRC is open beyond the Monday to Friday daytime hours, please post or message me.

    Edmonton - how long a drive from the Uni?

    I don't know where else to post this.  Can anyone tell me how long it would take in morning traffic to get from the University of Alberta area to the base?  I'm assuming traffic gets heavy as you get close to the main gate?  And where else would I hit traffic in the morning?  Thanks in advance.

    Trenton?

    Same as my post about North Bay - are there a lot of houses that are close enough to the MFRC my wife could walk there?  I'm thinking the area around Byron looks decent and it appears there's a fair number of houses in the area for decent prices.  Anyone here live in that neighbourhood?  What...

    North Bay?

    Can anyone here fill me in on what North Bay is like for real estate and family friendliness?  Is the MFRC there pretty active?  Real estate seems pretty pricey, we'd be looking for something a few km's from base and it seems you get a 2 bdrm shack for just over $200K.  The nicer homes seem to...

    German Airborne in Somalia 1993-ish

    I'm doing a research paper and have some questions on what equipment the German Airborne used during Somalia around 1993.  Anyone here can help me out a bit?  I can't find anything concrete on the net.  Also curious about some German terms for their military - is Airborne considered part of the...

    What does Managing Authority (as opposed to Career Manager) do?

    I had this explained to me by a recruiter once but I'll be darned if I can remember.  Can someone please tell me the Managing Authority's role in the recruiting process?  And what exactly does the Career Manager do in the process?
