I don't think it is unreasonable for the MND to stay at the hotel that a major Security Conference is taking place at and I think they were being fiscally conservative by ensuring the entire staff didn't stay there. Quick look at the participants list...

There isn't an issue with having debt, it is poor credit that could be an issue. When I joined I had mortgage debt and I know of a few people that had lines of credit and OSAP loans that they were paying back as well.

ROTP students are offered a trade before swearing in just like the other entry plans. The only plan that you don't know your trade is RETP I believe. I remember there were two people in that plan at my swearing in and they didn't have trades.

On our BMOQ this past summer we were issued live rounds before blanks. We performed the weapons test in garrison at the end of the week (6??) and then went to the range the following Monday. They issued us the rounds as we walked onto the range for that specific shoot. If I remember correctly it...

I am still looking into this, but I was surprised to find some interesting info on TV. I was watching "Ed's Up" (http://www.edsup.tv/S2episodes13.html) on the weekend because the episode involved Ed Robertson going to CFB Bagotville to fly in an F-18. It showed him at DRDC Toronto going through...

Yes, but it seems those mechanisms aren't as effective either. On our platoon we were allowed cell phones during the week after the training day and all other electronics on the weekend. One member of our platoon would spend his whole weekend watching movies in his room and never completed his...

Way too late, they made Dumb and Dumberer years ago..... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0329028/ I met Jeff Daniels about 10 years ago and he asked if I had seen Dumb and Dumber; When I said yes, he apologized.

I thought that was odd too, plus that the entire undercarriage isn't visible because of the curtain.

Looks like they were just waiting to finish building the pedestal for it and for the school kids to finish painting anti-American posters..... http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/09/world/middleeast/iran-shows-us-drone-on-tv-and-lodges-a-protest.html More at article link (including link to video)

When I had the anthropometry measurements performed during the recruiting process I was told that I fit in 2 of the 3 trainers. Does this preclude me from the one stream I didn't fit into indefinitely? If I wanted to find out what the measurements were, where would I find them? Would they be in...

There is also a Public Library down the street from CFLRS that has free wifi and it is open on the weekends.

:nod: I saw the preview in Toronto a couple weeks back and the movie focuses on the boy and his horse. There are scenes in the trenches and on the battlefield, but no locations or specific battles are mentioned. There are a few unexpected turns and the effects were quite good. During the last...

Nando's - also in Australia and one of my favourite places to eat when I lived there.

Sorry, are you saying Manulife should be providing free insurance to Vets? Was there an issue where Manulife did not support insurance policies that were written for veterans?  I guess I don't see your connection. They are the 240th largest company in the world according to Fortune's 2011...

Point is that a relationship must exist, so it is feasible to request that relationship be extended and the players wear the poppies for the two weeks. You, nor I, are capable of determining what type of financial remuneration be provided or negotiated for the use of the poppy that would be...

Has there actually been a decision from RCL that states the NHL cannot use the Poppy during Remembrance Day? Has the NHL even asked? As opposed to continuing with assumptions, shouldn't efforts be directed towards petitioning the NHL or specific teams to adorn their helmets (sweaters, Jerseys...

I was at the "Remembrance Day" game (Nov 8th) in Toronto and they utilized the poppy symbol on the ice during the pre-game and there were RCL members at every gate distributing poppies. They also reminded people to purchase and wear poppies to show their support over the public address system...

I am unfamiliar with this situation; can you expand on Manulife's wrongdoings?

Ditto. I was on one of the overpasses yesterday (Brock Street), and even though I saw a couple of the local Legion executive in attendance (not in Legion uniform) I was disappointed that the Legion Colour party or other members were not there representing the Legion. I will bring this up at the...
