ok , sidemount, that kinda falls in with what my PSO said, it didn't "really" matter what course I took, but she did mention about how the course would fit in with the degree path, and the fact that it may fill an elective , thanks for the input.

Mornin guys an gals, have a quick question. I'm looking at applying for the UTPNCM in a year or two, and in the meantime I'm going to be taking some university courses since it was recommended to do so. It would appear obvious that taking a course with an interest in your degree of choice would...

So I heard today, unofficially, that these rate cuts/allowance removals ( whatever you would like to call them; the removal of these benefits that fall into 'separation allowance' et al.) including the enforcing of all members on IR to now pay for Quarters and Rations is under review and will...

as of April, 2008; Trenton- 0, Borden- 0, Kingston-0 PMQ rates, no idea.

Thanks brothers, actually I'm moving out of the area and am trying to find out if where my "primary residence" is falls in the PLDA. I know the city itself falls within the PLDA, just not sure of the boundaries on it. Weird that my BOR was having trouble finding it, the actual city didn't seem...

OK, might be a shot in the dark here, went to my BOR today to find out if my primary residence falls within the geographical boundaries and they couldn't find it. Does anyone know the geographical boundaries for the Kamloops/Kelowna area ? It is a stated PLD area, but we can't seem to find the...

most likely you go west, so Esquimalt, since that's where you do your trade training ( QL3 ). WHile there, you may do your NETP first, or do it after. If your NETP course comes first then you most likely wait until after the QL3 is done to get your posting, which includes among other things...

appreciated, thanks Occam

did a search and didn't find it, so here's my question. Does anyone know where I can find a map of the various areas that PLD occurs in? I am trying to find out what the coverage area is for my posting after QL3, and I just found out that I may be entitled to some retroactive pay regarding PLD...

I don't know what you are talking about Stacked.

Well Danno, if you "feel old at 27", imagine joining up at 39, waiting a year and a half, getting in at 40, and I'll be another 2 years older after I finish my QL3.  I originally signed up for the electronics trade, figured it would be fun, challenging, and thought I knew a little about it...

Well speaking from an "older" perspective, aches and pains in the knees, joints and back are part of getting older. You'll get them eventually. One thing I can say about the forces, is that while I myself am still a "newbie", I've been healthier since I joined, in better shape, and received tons...

hmmm, on my course. Which one are you? I think there's only 3 of you...

AHA! A passport then I shall seek. If it means the difference between waiting and actually doing something ( and therefore hopefully being seen as "proactive") then I choose the latter.

Gashbag, thanks for the insight, just what I was looking for. Regarding the security clearance, our class signed some papers that had our clearance levels on them, while I thought this was what we were "agreeing" to ( so DND could proceed with our security check/clearance) , others were saying...
