So far the print media has been fairly restrained but I did have the misfortune of seeing a Ret'd Col on CTV trip all over himself trying to give them a good soundbyte and story to run with. I hope for everyone the facts come out and and it's a positive ending.

This isn't a story it's an opinion column. Although it is definitely over the top with it's hate and sweeping judgements. People are allowed to disagree in this country and the US. Much like Anne Coulter isn't a journalist, neither is this column a factual news story.

Had this in NZ. They're basically everywhere on the island. Great pies!

I'd say that if it's readily accessible by civies at the museum it's good to go. If they're poking around and would look out of place and suspicious to someone not in the loop it needs to be (re)moved.

Generally you need a leave pass to leave the local area. If you go without and end up getting sick or crashing your car or something in Montreal you're going to have a fun time explaining why you're there. Whether or not you have to take annual days if you're unofficially not expected to be at...

When someone in front pays for your coffee aren't you, in turn, supposed to pay for the following patron?

Max The significant delays are before Phase II these days as I understand it. For me personally it was 2 years to get to PhIIA(from enrollment) 2 years after starting PhIIA to wings and estimating another 1.5 wait for OTU.

I remember some of my friends who did OJT in Toronto reporting being mistaken for auto mechanics while walking around in the flight suit.

Honestly if you really love where you're at now, why the hell do you want to leave? Not to take anything away from the pilot life but the grass isn't always greener. Also AFAIK there's no surfing, paragliding or kiteboarding communities in Moose Jaw, Cold Lake, Pet, Gagetown, Edmonton etc. Hope...

Anyone know the inside track on when this might show up or are we still working with the ambiguous "FALL 08" with backpay in the prev message?

You don't bring it up. Even if you say that you know there's people out there, without names, in SQ not paying rations some gung ho clerk is going to audit everyone. They should not give you an exception just because there's others slipping by under the radar. If the rules support the position...

It depends on age and I'm sure it's been discussed/posted already somewhere. As far as doing the minimum vs doing well or even exempted you should be doing as well as possible as much as possible. Even on a pass/fail course that everyone passes, it's your reputation that is at stake. If you...

A friend of mine introduced me to this...is it a hobby? awhile ago and it's on the list of things to do however I admit I haven't given it a go yet. Seems interesting though!

According to an article from the Ottawa Sun Mr Murray got what he wanted. Flag poles front and back of the building! Congrats to him. http://www.ottawasun.com/News/National/2008/07/15/6158976-sun.html

Maybe I'm going to the wrong mess dinners because so far it's been pretty tame.

Aren't Canadian soldiers still denied access to certain establishments in St Jean? I know at some bases the military has restricted bars, but in St Jean I've been turned away at the door at more than one place, while not associated with CFLRS. The business owner is under no obligation to serve...

They still let those guys in?

I've heard a very low number for DEO/CEOTP pilot spots this year but it's expected to change later on as I understand it. The recruiting centre can probably give you better info as to what's going on today and it will probably be "all pilot slots are full for the year except ROTP and you missed...

Round and round we go I suspect Vern is right: because we moved to a new compensation table the 1 year is reset. There's a CBI that I recall reading yesterday that supports this. Pilots complete MOC training, get promoted and pinned the same day, which is often over 3 years(time in Capt promo)...

After checking in with the OR I discovered my incentive level is currently based on my pin on date and not the effective date. They were unsure of the rule and are working on finding an answer. CountDC if you have a source for that info it would be really helpful. Something that says undeniably...
