Maybe if it's a slow enough news day... -T.

I think that might have hit it on the head - great catch.

I would have to see the documents in question but I have seen ACC refer to Army Catering Company (at least on the Brit side) so the cars could be there to provide food to the wounded (just throwing it out there).  I am not sure if the RCASC was divided in the same manner, so this is a...

Agreed.

For basic I recall the swim test being a matter of attempting rather than passing (a few people really had problems swimming...one guy had never even been in water his whole life - don't ask me how).  I imagine at some point it would prove problematic for career choices/progression but I would...

From following link:  http://oshawaremembers.wordpress.com/page/2/ In 1944 the Nazi created the Britisches Freikorps or British Free Corps which was the brainchild of John Amery a son of a British cabinet minister. This Nazi recruitment effort focused on recruiting POW’s which included three...

Andre: Library and Archives Canada has several War Diaries available online or at the very least provides a reference to them.  See link http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/ If nothing turns up PM me and I will pester some contacts. Kind Regards, -T.

My Trg-O has done an admirable job trying to get a hold of my career manager, and apparently all the 'tics are in the box',  but still nothing yet.  I suppose it could be a leave issue.  Hopefully someone higher up on the chain can get that done if it is the case. None of the DEOs were...

Hello, I hope this is the appropriate section for the following question.  Performed a quick search and didn't find anything too close.  Anyhow, I am a DEO who recently completed BMOQ/NETPO and was wondering roughly how long it took for the promotion to go through.  I submitted a request...

There isn't as of yet, but give it a few years.  Much of the issue has to do with standard public access dates and addressing possible concerns of living Vets.  There are alternative resources such as the Legion's 'Last Post' which can help somewhat. T.

Very good for Lakehead.  I am a UW alum and received a message that they are setting up a similar scholarship.  Hopefully the trend becomes a general one. T.

Hello, I just got notification of the BMOQ on 26 April at NOTC Venture.  Will (or should to be a realist) be on that course.  Venture is beautiful - was there last year on course but was RTU'd.  Hope to see you all there. T. P.S - I had Lasik done myself and the 90-day wait is hell, best...

Watching a painful television show... :crybaby: :crybaby:  the things you do for your better half. T.
