I want to speak to this specific post. I have several "loyal dogs" who are more than comfortable doing the unglamorous tasks in the army, and it has nothing to do with competence. Several members of our fine army are highly educated, further schooling or trades school, and simply wish to be...

Thanks to all, much appreciated.  :)

Well, I was hoping for something more than randomly selected, but I guess that seems the most likely, doesn't it?

Thanks for all the replies, but I think some of you have missed my meaning in the original question. I'm not looking for WHO was referred to as Seagull....I'm wondering WHY Seagull was chosen (and the comment about flying around and sh**ing on everyone is the closest I have seen to) Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, but one of us is not understanding the other, and I am not sure who that is.  8)  Do you mean that reservist summer training is the only thing considered "annual training" under the Alberta act?

Hi all, I know I am reviving an old thread, but I am hoping to gain some clarification in regards to reservist leave, as it relates specifically the Alberta Employment Standards Act. Under the allowed operations and activities, it states: "annual training, included related travel time, for up...

Does anyone have Will M's contact info?  I have been trying to reach him through the email button on here and PM, without success. Thanks in advance.

Two weeks earlier than I thought.  Ouch. Thank you very much.
