Thank you for the links Cheers

So I got picked up by my SCWO for having my sleeves of my flight suit rolled up.   :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: I was asked to find in dress instructions or orders where it states that sleeves in flight suits SHALL be kept down at all times. Spent better part of an hour looking through CF...

Hope somebody can answer my question. I had a look online at Rev Canada's site and yes income tax (provincial) is less in ON than BC, but I was wondering from anyone else who has moved from BC to ON what differences they noticed in their pay. I will be losing PLD, Aircrew & Sea Duty allowances...

Sorry, :'(

There are now 8 new AES Ops, from BAC 0801. Me and my flying partner were the last 2 to pass our check-rides today. Now I am drinking many beers and can't wait for January '09 to come to start my OTU in Shearwater. Cheers

I have my walls covered in SOP calls, Drift & W/V calculations, Mayday & Pan Pan calls etc etc. About the closet doors you can take them off to do your maps, they just have to go back on before the next day. The cleaners will rat you out and you will be in front of the MWO. On sideburns, I have...

Just finished my last trainer on Friday, and passed ;D Have 2 more BAF next week (if the weather & serviceability work out) and then check ride the week after, so wish me luck, not that luck has anything to do with it. All I can say and I am sure it has been said before, if you don't put...

I am almost done my BAC and I can attest to how hard this course is. It is definitely not an attend course, I haven't had to work this hard for a course in my life. I came from what I thought was a demanding job (Mar Eng Tech), and there is no comparison. When you pass the academic phase and...

I sailed with Janet on HMCS Winnipeg a few years back, kind of freaked me out to see this on CBC news online. Will be interesting to see what happens to the two of them.

While, I am not actually deployed, I still will be away from my wife & son for 6 months. My 4 year old son Noah is currently going to the MFRC daycare in Esquimalt and the MFRC is running a workshop once a week to help younger children deal with their parent(s) deployment, and how it makes them...

Just got this last week from my friends comic shop in Victoria. Warren Ellis - Crecy. Amazing black & white art and good story, not sure how historically accurate it is, but hey its a comic book. http://www.avatarpress.com/titles/warren-ellis-crecy/

http://www.thechronicleherald.ca/Search/858884.html Read this today at work, and I am sure the parents of these two are very proud. It takes a special kind of person to stand up to a bully without resorting to violence. I hope other students across Canada take note of these two young mens...

Thats amazing, I wonder how the son would have turned out if his dad didn't give evidence against Al Capone and ultimately get killed?
