Not to get involved in the above argument, but because something was brought up that caught my attention, I have the following question: As I am currently common-law, and the course is anywhere from 10-13 months(ish), I would love to be moved there with my wife. If there are no PMQ's available...

I just wanted to thank Sparkplugs for the insight, and Metlica for raising the issue. I recently went through a rank reversion, from OCdt to Pte, which took 7 months to finally go through. Now I'm sitting here waiting on a posting message for my AVN Tech QL3s, and nobody at the unit was able to...

Dumbest thing I heard today: "We may have lost the battle, but we will not win the war!" room goes quiet... "I said that wrong didn't I?"

If you have access to a military network, and want information on SAR Tech, I would recommended this link: http://winnipeg.mil.ca/A3SAR/personnel/sartech/sartech_e.htm I am highly interested in pursuing SAR Tech as a career, although I have to wait a while due to the Minimum Military Experience...

Weeks, those instruments aren't a problem, it's flying the thing that's the test.

They did not say, it's a computer generated score that lets you know if you qualify or not.  They will give you a book to learn the instrument panel of a specific aircraft, and they have a few simulators that you must fly to certain criteria.  All this is done in Trenton during the ASC (Aircrew...

Actually, becoming a pilot isn't very difficult, it costs a minimum of about 6500$, 10000$ on average for your PPL.  Becoming a military pilot is the difficult part.  I failed pilot qualifications, and my eyes WERE 20/20 all my life, but I don't know if they will be that way for long ( :(), so I...

Depends how strong you are in everything else, and previous flight or military experience (besides cadets maybe for "leadership" or other) has no bearing on the recruiting process is the impression I've gotten from several other threads in these forums.

It's a "subsidized education management" meeting, basically an annual briefing where they go through what is expected of you, what they will be doing, who you can contact for what, and so on.  It lasts about an hour or two.  They warn that unless you have obtained permission to be absent prior...

Civi U starts in September, so you will definitely be on your academic year, try to plan the honeymoon for a weekend though. BOTC and IAP are held during the summer for students (as far as I'm concerned) and your SEM is at the end of September (it was the 18th this year), I believe you will be...

Well, I have not been in the field yet (and probably won't be for another 5 years or so) but I can relate to this... it was a "survival" camping trip last April, the temperature dropped to 10 below (Celsius)... in groups of 2, we were allowed to a few basic items, knife, lighter, the clothes on...

I don't know if this one counts as foreign, but here goes:  Stroganoff You know, as in "I'll be out of the bathroom in a second, I'm..." well, you get the picture.  ;D (For those of you who don't get it, it's a type of food, leave it at that.)

America's Army, a fully free, wholly online multiplayer experience.  Look it up and try it out, it's a free download, takes a few hours.  Some of the best graphics around (we aren't comparing to Splinter Cell here).  I haven't played since the new version was released because of school and all...

One option that has been overlooked is covering up a tattoo you don't like.  It's less expensive than laser removal, but it takes a talented artist.  My dad got a tattoo of me and my sister's names when we were very young, and the artist did a sloppy job.  He claims the tattoo looked horrible...

Canada is known for its winters, I don't know why people complain so much. If you don't like it, there's an easy solution to your problem... No offense.
