Ah, so that's why you guys smelled either like puke or like wh*res in the morning with all that cologne! I remember standing just outside the rooms some mornings and watching you all sway in place... ::) Try to save the money you make. You might just need it later. Kingston is a place where...

Huh... Good call. Well, let's hope the guy checks his guestbook once in a while and is willing to take advice...

Good link, Hatchet Man. I perused through the website. Anyway, what we were talking about was post-tour benefits, not reserve education benefits. The two used to be on a completely different plane. And, Zirus, I'm a "she" not a "he"  ;D

I took a look at the link and perused through the first mod... It seems very comprehensive, but also easy to understand (especially for someone who has VERY limited knowledge of history in general such as myself). Maybe a little more advertising might pique some interest? A snazzy poster to put...

Is there a place where I can find the actual document to back this up? A CANFORGEN? Something anything that I can use?

This was the email... Hi, Actually the policy has changed.  There is a program only for reserves now effective 1 Nov 04.  Unfortunately it is not as great as the PEP program (the program you are referring to).  So the Canforgen I sent you is the be all of the program. (from a clerk from my...

I just recently got the info on education benefits for reservists when coming off tour. I was told by a clerk from my unit that CANFORGEN 135/04 ADMHRMIL 068 021526Z NOV 04 - EDUCATION REIMBURSEMENT- PRIMARY RESERVE (P RES) is the "be all of the program." No more PEP, and $2000 per year for...

If you were asked to bring ALL of it in, then bring ALL of it in. If you still aren't convinced, contact someone from your unit in order to confirm what you need and what you can leave behind.

Army (R215). And I still classify myself as a student because, although I postponed university studies for the year to go on tour, I really do mean to go back. Thank god for this fortunate change of pace though. If I had to write another paper on 20th Century English Literature this year, I...

I've heard a little about what you are speaking of. I'm currently on tour, returning to school once I get back, and heard something about getting a year's worth of school expenses paid after my tour from my unit's then-Chief clerk. She gave me the reference to the CFAOs but it's back home. I'll...

Just did some searching and was surprised as heck to find out that Keith's Blonde was a seasonal beer! I don't know how Patty's in the Byward Market got it, but they had it (at least for a while). Anyway, here is the link if you'd like to know more. http://www.keiths.ca/keithsbeer.html

Good thread, Mopo. My questions regarding BMQ PT standards have been answered, and more fully than I had first expected (especially since Shilo is where I'd end up). And to the last part of my first post, what did you find to be fun but CHALLENGING PT? Oh, and TR, since you taught MY basic...

Though it's only been a few years since I have done my BRT, I'm wondering just how much PT on course has changed... Is it really that much less challenging than previous (recent) years? I've been listening to some recruits fresh off their BMQs who were surprised at how easy PT was. Are the...

Have you talked with anyone from Nfld yet? There is a position with Transport with 1 RNR, I think. Your CO would have to ask their CO though...

I am with TR on this one. Relaxing the standard on certain dress regulations for men AND FOR WOMEN (ie hair and earrings) would IMHO certainly degrade the traditional, clean-cut image that is (hopefully) portayed to the Canadian public about the CF. I'm all for having certain exceptions in...

Hey All, Yes, no one has written on this topic in a LONG time but I felt the need to share  ;D I'm over in the Golan right now and many of the LOs and shop keepers I meet marvel that I am Canadian. I usually get the question "Are you Arabic?" When I ask why they don't think I'm Canadian, I...

I stay loyal to the beer I first started drinking... KKeith's! Keiths Blond (e?) is pretty good, although I have found only one place in Ottawa that serves it... And for the harder stuff? It's all about the Crown!! (er, and coke) Anyone know if we have Zubruvka (Polish) at the LCBO or in...

*shakes head and groans* Jean.... LOL, reminds me of some funny times on courses... Like when Pte **** forgot his beret... He ALMOST made it the entire morning without getting caught... And the time on basic when I forgot to put my epaulettes on my uniform (yes, you can say it... CLUSTERF**K)...

Hmmm... Different units seem to have different standards. Last I heard, for my unit, a soldier must have been in for a year AND be 3's qualified. Who knows what it is now - the CO could have said otherwise. Anyway, our unit arranged our sizing appointments, but we could also have gone down to...

Yikes! Good to know. Thanks for the tip
