    21 May 14 - LCol Dan Bobbitt, 2 RCHA, R.I.P.

    The CAF, and especially the Artillery, have lost a fine officer. Everyone who knew Dan, liked and respected him immensely! He was a good friend, fantastic husband and father, a respected mentor and just an all-around good guy, as all those Bobbitts are. Thoughts are with the Artillery family...

    Things may have changed over the years...and the answer is probably somewhere on Milnet.ca but my Google-foo is not very good so I'll answer with what was my experience... a) you get paid at the same rate during the course of your BMOQ training, likely as a 2Lt BUT, you may be given allotments...

    You know the army is getting into your brain when...

    When you yell "Deploy! Deploy! Deploy!" when you want your kids to get out of the vehicle in a hurry. When, after buckling the kids in their car seats, you accidentally leave the van doors open and your CF member spouse asks you as he backs out of the driveway "What?! Are they helicopter...

    Ignorant Civies

    When my hubster was training for deployment on TF 1-07, my sister mentioned to me about how worried she was for his safety...and as a result her worry for the well-being of our family.
