    Preparing for running / jogging

    No idea. Is there pushing, shoving, tripping during the group runs? Serious question, Iā€™m wondering how much tolerance there is for that sort of ā€œvictimlessā€ horsing around.

    Is cool. As mentioned I have no idea and theoretically neither should anyone else. Iā€™m not too concerned with how much time this takes since during the time it has already taken Iā€™ve found a job which pays me a Colonelā€™s salary. At most I might sign up for the reserves if my job allows me.

    direct entry office

    Thanks for your sage advice. I am not complaining at all and "deal with it" is something I am doing, I could care less how long it takes - and am in a very rewarding job, it's just a process - I assure you I understand that. Working in private sector Big 4 Consulting; specifically at...

    direct entry office

    My two cents: Every single complication basically adds more time. Haven't been living in Canada continuously for five consecutive years? Add another 3-6 months. Your spouse isn't a citizen? Add another 3-6 months. You own property overseas? Add another 3-6 months. Got into some trouble when...

    How does the media view the CAF?

    Canadian media towards the CAF from what I have seen 1. Always focusing on procurement / equipment / recruitment issues (negative) 2. Scandals are front and center when there are plenty of other scandals within other levels of government (negative) 3. Remembrance Day will showcase some...

    Thanks! Yeah, I've been watching the news, hope it gets better soon. I'm actually training out in the Pacific Rim, 30 - 36 degrees every day with over 70% humidity. Same with the gym workouts, gym has a galvanized steel roof and no air conditioning.

    Ten year travel history

    Yeah. What I did was: 1) Iā€™ve had Google Location tracking on since 2007 or whenever it was introduced. It tracks your every movement in a timeline down to 3m of location accuracy, photos, method of transport etc. I extracted an XML file of that and generated visual representation on a map...
