They also tuck the live-in officers out of the way up at the officer's mess, too  ;D

Sorry to say, but your husband may not avoid sailing if he's posted to 443 sqn in Pat Bay or to 423 in Shearwater on the Sea Kings.  For most ops, ACS Techs aren't often deployed in great numbers, but it has been a more frequent occurrence.  It used to be that ACS techs were only ever away from...

I'm currently in a sticky spot at the moment and hopefully can receive a little bit of help.  I recently had to sell my condo and had the intention of moving into a PMQ.  However, the sale fell through about a week before the closing date and my anticipated clear-in to the Q.  Now, I have sold...

I'm only asking this because I've gotten conflicting answers from the PSO and the new UTPNCM 2007 competition message.  Do the University level OPME courses apply to the 2 course (ie 4 half course) requirement for the UTPNCM application?  I know it mentions it pretty clearly on the message...

I was talking to my professor for Business Management at Queen's about this today.  He has taught quite a few military types in the EMBA program.  I explained to him that while the material he covers in class makes a lot of sense in a business or commercial setting, I was having difficulty...

I don't think you'll have any problems.  The fact that you've motivated yourself enough to get ready in preparation for a career in the military shows that you have good potential to succeed physically.  Understand, though, that it may be some time between when you fill out your application and...

It seems that more and more, the CF is trying to operate more as a business than what it really is.  I'm not sure if if has something to do with the trend for those with the bars to get MBAs/Commerce degrees, etc. but it definitely is noticeable, at least where I am.  Our unit even has a Mission...

Is there someone that can explain why DND/the Canadian government does not carry insurance on its' buildings, vehicles, machinery, etc.?  Is it simply a matter of high liability or is it a legal matter?  I mean, it would seem crazy that an organization of this size would not carry insurance...

The vultures (read media vans) were circling at least at 3pm as I was leaving work today and were probably there much earlier.  They were parked in the parking lot across from the cadet camp and were lined up all along the fence on highway 2.  I was furious.  I was about to call from my cell...

Can anyone tell me if I am completely loco for planning on applying for UT into AERE or CELE with a weak math background?  I have been aspiring to go officer for some time now and I've determined that I'd be happy as a CELE or AERE officer.  However, I have been traditionally weak in math...

Once you're done your 3's in Borden, ask for ATESS as a posting.  It's about as foreign to the rest of the ACS trade as going to Germany would be.  ;D

If you mean Leave without pay, from my vague and possibly incorrect recollection, it must be for reasons in the interest of the CF and it must go to NDHQ for approval for over 30 days with your CO's recommendation.

The best part for me will be going into work on Monday and finding out what sort of punishment my boss is getting for acting like an @$$ last night :rofl:  That was money well spent for me...Man, I have never found something so funny and embarassing at the same time.  Poor guy. For future...

First of all, I think he's saying the cost of the dinner, plus shirt and tie, is $70.  Second, I know in Trenton at least, they don't offer cash sales at clothing stores anymore and when I tried asking for a navy dress shirt a couple of years ago, they wouldn't let me because I wasn't entitled...

I wanted to get an idea of where those who are going to a civilian university on a subsidised commissioning plan (IE ROTP?UTPNCM) are studying at and what degree program and MOC you are in.  I've been trying to find some information out through research on the net and DIN, but have for the most...

Yes, but there's nothing there that an NCM doesn't do.

Can anyone give me their take on this question?  I am not looking for rank structure, or that they have been commissioned, or that they are leaders.  I know what an officer is, but rather want to know what differentiates one from an NCM.  (By the way, I have 8 years in, so I'm not a newb...

Hopefully I can get some input from some RMC and civie U UTs.  I'm a prospective UT and I was wondering what the chances are of getting into a civie U vs. RMC.  I plan on applying for AERE or CELE and would like to take Aero Eng, Software Eng or Comp Sci.  I'd prefer not to do RMC because...
