    The Bernier Fiascos & Resignation

    Spouse here (with dh's knowledge  :P ) I've been following the twists and turns and leaps of logic on this thread and apparently my brain has been twisted far too hard because for the life of me, I can not understand how the ex-wife of a biker dating an MP has affected the security of our borders.

    Spouse of member here. We were at that Family Day (that isn't Dave by the way) and I really don't remember the controversy.  Just goes to show how out of the loop we were in the boonies of Shilo!! :P     I do remember how much my kids enjoyed Family Day - they were some of the best ones we ever...

    You Might Be a Service Brat if...

    When spelling over the phone, you use the phonetic alphabet, and have done so almost as long as you've known your abc's!

    Ski trip advice

    If you can't go west, Le Massif is a pretty good alternative.  Chalets were nice and the hill wasn't crowded. http://www.lemassif.com/en/

    "Men's"/whatever "Christmas"/whatever Dinner (merged)

    Spouse here - hope that's okay. While I appreciate the attempts to be a more family friendly entity, I think it is just as important to remember military traditions.  There is a time and a place for family members; I don't think the Christmas Dinner is one of them.

    Boys try out for girls teams...thoughts

    Response's To "Ruxted On The Media's Handling Of Cpl. Boneca's Death"

    The media. Grief manifests in many ways.  This is a young woman whose world has been thrust upside down.  It has been said to you over and over that no one here is denying the family has a right to speak.  However what has repeatedly been pointed out to you, that you choose not to see or...

    Has anyone heard of Red Friday's?

    I just noticed in the local Barrie paper tonight that the Legion here in town has some shirts ready to go.  They are white with red lettering and a flag.  The proceeds go to the Legion and the Army, Navy and Air Force Club.

    Language Specialists?

    You might also try Communications Security Establishment (CSE) if you already speak several languages, and want to live in Ottawa. It is not with the Candian Forces but it is still serving Canada (in a different way.)

    Members' Marital Status

    A number three here as well.   I am a bit of a history/Canadiana buff and as such I was/am aware of what the military does.  However, the only first hand knowledge I had before my DH joined was based on some encounters with a few strange cadets during highschool and grandparents who had served...

    Christmas is coming, post gift ideas here.

    Does she have any hobbies?  What about a new book?  As for appliances, if it was a kitchen aid mixer (in red!) it wouldn't really count as an appliance! ;D Good luck!

    CFRC

    MCpl, if you are referring to Reserve recruits, you need to be aware that Reserve units are responsible for attracting (i.e. recruiting) their own recruits. The CFRC simply processes them IAW applicable standards. Medical conditions are a tricky subject - unless the applicant admits to having a...

    a goofy experience at the RC

    Based on the news article (which admittedly may have some inherent inaccuracies), CSE is seeking to grow by 700, over 80% growth.  For an organization that has an extremely limited organic recruiting capability, it only makes sense for them to seek a partnership with a national recruiting system...
