Is there anything issued that is similar to Nike Dri-Fit material? Since I was given a Dri-Fit shirt a couple years ago for participating in a 10K run, I have worn shirts of this material for all physical activity and on weekends and really hot days. The material is great, keeps you cool and...

I just got back from the Kelowna-Rimouski game in London, what a game! Rimouski narrowly escaped with a 4-3 win. That's the first time I've seen Sidney Crosby live, and he really does live up to his billing. I still think the London Knights will take it though. Overall the hockey was great and...

I've read a lot about going from Reserves to the Reg Force, but does the opposite happen often - going from Reg Force to Reserves?

Hi all, I am planning to apply for MED TECH in August 2005, once I have acquired the minimum qualifications (gr 12 biology & physics). I wonder if anyone in the trade (or recruiters, or anyone else really) can tell me if there is anything else I can do during this time to improve my...
