There is no wireless internet available on base except for a few wired archaic computers at the JRs. Mess food is alright, but be prepared for long lines and not enough of the good stuff to go around.
You will luck out with 2x universities in Fredericton for the ladies situation. If you enjoy motorsports, Speedway 660 is a stones throw away in Geary and runs everything from Redneck Enduro races to Prostock (occasionally featuring ex NASCAR drivers). The shacks you stay in are nothing special, the usual cold war era shacks under repaired and over used. The main thing I recommend about Gagetown is to bring a car. You will need to pack a lunch just to go to the canex if you don't.

I'm about 99% sure I have probably posted in the wrong subject, so before all of you key board warriors come out and lash me, I Apologize. I'm not the greatest navigation through the Internet. Anyways I've searched and found nothing on the forums about who actually (Businesses) honor the Canex plan in Fredericton. I've called the Canex, no answer and there isn't any info on line. So I'm just curious, thanks'

You'll need to call the Canex when they're open for business. Each outlet will be unique to some degree with their respective cities. OK Tire is a common business across the country, but there "should" be several local business in Fredericton/Oromocto that will have arrangements between them and the Canex such as Jewlers, or Bike Shops etc.

Go to the Canex web site. Registerand you'll be able to see who takes part in the program. It also doesn't hurt to just ask the retailer if they have a military or Veteran discount.
Get your CF 1 card, pretty soon it'll be the only authorized ID for the CF :sarcasm:

almost done my time at CFLRS and my next posting is gagetown for EGS Tech, my course doesn't start till September 2017. Basically I'm just curious what the living quarters are like in gagetown because I've heard we have to live on base for the first year, what are they like, can we have tvs and play stations and what not?

Old post but just in case someone else has the same question and comes across this.
You'll be shacked in a room with other engineer trades including combat engineers. The building you're in also houses arty and armored crewmen pats.
The downside to this is you will be on the same PAT as a cbt arms trade so expect to be treated like it. CFSME Pat is where dreams go to die although the staff that was there when I left were really great guys. Mcpl Forget, Mcpl Leduc, Mcpl Thabone, and Warrant Snook. Not sure if they are still there. There are some taskings and you will have full inspections if you're in shacks.

So I am looking to my future medical release from the Regular Force and was wondering what the appetite for a gaming store would be if placed in the Oromocto area. It would supply Games Workshop, Magic: The Gathering, and a variety of other wargaming and hobby supplies. I think the closest one of this type is in Fredericton (Gamezilla) so was thinking our military population would like one closer.

The main advantage a gaming store has is that it's a place to go and game. Many ppl support their FNGS because of the events that they do and the community they build. MTG is a perfect example. You can order all the cards you want online but going into the store is where you generally play the tournaments.
But it is a hard row to hoe.

Is possible to keep your wargaming hobby if youre in the CAF? Im still deciding if i should sell off my entire collection before I eventually join. Is there a sizeable wargaming community within the CAF?

There are a lot of Magic-playing, Catan collecting, D&D addicted, Risk-loving and other various devoted board-game (war-gaming and otherwise) aficionados in the CAF. You’ll probably be quite surprised if that’s your thing. CAF has a very diverse population who enjoy many varied hobbies.

Makes sense that military people are also wargamers. I have a lot of wh40k minis to move in case i bring them. Probably store them somewhere until i get a permanent posting then i can bring them over?
