Pusser - Thanks for the reply.  That is what I thought.  The file is at DGMC and I put the ‘Administrative Error’ forefront in the member’s representation.  I am hoping this will buy one more chance for this individual to turn things around. Occam – Thanks for the link.  I did find that...

I need an Administrative guru. I am the AO for a member with Administrative Action pending for ‘Misuse of Alcohol.’  I have done a lot of research and I have found that this member’s C&P was not properly administered as per CFAO 19-31 (Misuse of Alcohol) and, CANFORGEN 092/02 (Clarification of...

Recruiter’s Advice Required I have a soldier who will probably be released 5d - Not Advantageously Employable.  In this case he was “wholly or chiefly because of the conditions of military life or other factors beyond his control, develops personal weaknesses or has domestic or other personal...

During a St Jean drill class: Master Cpl "Mr Bloggins... Do you want to practice all day?... Do you want to be here Mr Bloggins?" ::) ::) Bloggins "No Master Cpl!?" ::) NOTE TO ALL FUTURE RECRUITS: Beware of the double question! Yes Bloggins was me :-\

Heading to the Carleron Mess in Gagetown for a Friday beer (or two)... see you there!?

No age cap... my wife is 31 and taking it now. It also reduces your civi car insurance in most Provinces. Good luck!

I taught overseas for a number of years and am now a member of the 'Reg Force.' Three points for you: 1. Living in most Asian countrys will DRASTICALY slow down your security clearance. In my case 3 1/2 years! 2. Find ESL work at www.daveseslcafe.com Every thing you need is there. 3. Listen...

We left St Jean in Aug 07 and were the first Anglo course to skip SLT (pilots exc excluded).  Be prepaired to spend extra time on a PAT platoon whereever you end up after CFLRS as these new policies have created a glut in the training system. For example there are a lot of 2LTs kicking around...

Along the car deck and over the ramp. We had just docked and it was time to get in the car and disembark. A running persuit and takedown in the middle of a crowed parking lot probably wouldn't be the best for PR either. My point was more save others the same hassle not analyse tactics.  ::)

For anyone spending time on the Wet Coast be warned... My father and I have had our Magnets stolen EVERY time we take the ferry between Vancouver and The Island. We even witnessed one "punk" tossing the magnet overboard. Unfortunately he fled before I could counter his antimilitary protest  >:(...

A good set of wicking underwear is key for winter (or summer)! I agree fully with the "learn to use your issued kit" school but... the generally accepted rule of many small layers seems lost when wearing the winter parka. At least start with a good synthetic under-layer to keep moisture off the...

The swords look better than "crossed twiggs" but not as good as the actual issued kit.

Our BOTP platoon sent in a group order. The Army and Navy tags worked out great but... the Air Force tags came with the logo on the wrong side!? CP Gear refused to exchange them but... I was not personally involved in the order so I don't know if it was an error in the ordering or the...

After all the rumor and conjecture about SLT I can actually let you know that most folks will NOT be sent to SLT after BOTP. We finished BOTP Aug 02 07 and only the Poilets and Social Workers were sent to "The Fort" to learn Francais. The rest of us were sent on our way. The air force and navy...

For IAP all your PO tests will be multiplechoice fromats answered on computers and practical, hands-on assessments. During BOTP it will be the same with two exceptions. You will have a short answer Leadership test and an essay answer/case-study for your Battle Procedures. Truthfully if you pay...
