Picture frames @ BMQ (yes, enough for a merged topic)

[BorisK]

Update to thread :

Now that I have been here @ CFLRS for over a month (week 6 now) I can report that, in my platoon at least, as long as the picture frame is the one from the Canex, clean, neatly in the corner on the desk and most importantly contains a picture of some kind (including funny ones), orientation does not matter. 

Best of luck to all recruits.

On one of my courses, I had an autographed* photo of Sergey Gorshkov (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergei_Gorshkov) on my desk.  The comments from the DS were whether he was my grandfather and that he had an awful lot of medals.  I'm not sure whether this would be as amusing these days, now that the Cold War is over.

*autographed in the sense that I had a Russian speaking friend write (in Russian), "Dear Pusser, best wishes, Sergey."

Ok, so you MUST bring a picture from what I'm reading (though I'd prefer not to have any pictures) and I don't have a single pic that is 5x7, only 4x6

How friggin hard is it to visit a DOLLAR STORE and buy a 5 X 7 frame for a buck and put your favourite pinup into it?

Just bring a picture and save yourself the trouble of borrowing someone's from your platoon and being asked why someone else's girlfriend is in your photo  . My platoon had tons of left over picture frames from the previous platoon before use.

Bring your 4x6.  Cut a 4x6 hole in a piece of paper.  Cut the paper to fit in the frame.  Tape the picture to the hole, and stick it in the frame.

Why wouldn't you just go to wal-mart or wherever and pay the 20 cents it costs to develop one 5 x 7 picture. Any picture, just pick one from Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/phone Just seems a lot easier and it isn't going to draw any attention to you.

How stupid is BMQ now?  Back in the day ('86), we were allowed to have a picture in our locker, but it wasn't mandatory.  :

Pretty stupid and always improving  ;D  ... it's called progress.

Like these might  >

Or, if you have RCAF DS ....

Improving or devolving?

 

[Dissident]

Meh, had to do the same on PLQ a few years back (jezuss, that was 7 years ago already). I just left the picture that came with the frame.

Sheep and chickens are guaranteed to draw favourable comments from the DS.

Actually, in most of the Dollar stores or equivalent, you will find cheap picture frames that come with a picture already in it. OK, so its not your cat or horse, or that mountain is not the view from your backyard of your ranch, but what the heck, the instructors don't know that  ;D.
