it really boils down to everyone  should be doing PT at the same time(well  people like fire fighters, doctors, MP's  excluded)you know  the old 07:30-09:00  that way  there are no closed down shops during PEEK  working hours.

Ok I know I am jumping in a bit late but  I have some insight  on some of the questions being asked. Do civy companies maintain  military aircraft?  Kinda yes.  In the country where CM is located the US Airforce had  (Lock Matrin or Boeing  Can not remember) set up a maintains centre for...

There are old horror stories about most of Canada's bases.  Like the old MP shack in Borden was used to conduct "information extration from German POW's" and the ghost of the ones that died used to haunt that place.

Hey  was a forester  from 1998-2001 in good old Barrie.  Quick question  is there still a  Mcpl(maybe Sgt) Alfford there  and  Cpl Ron Imasin( think I spelled his last name wrong)

I got a few buddys who went rigger,  I popped the question on them and they told me this.  Run and run some more, 8k+ a day at the course officers pace,  work on your pushups,  every mistake  you make with your gear is  25 push up(no longer on your helmet).  And work  on your chin up, ...

I know all the reserve  units in my area are suffering a huge lack of Res support trades.  Problem here is we get tasked on tour after tour,  and we pulling in the res log's on class "B" to fill in while we are gone, only problem, is the second some gets back  someone leaves.      Ah what a world

They really need to sort out the PLD.  I got very little in Borden,  I think it was around $80 a month.  I move to Trenton and I get $0.  Correct me if I am wrong,  but iIheard once that PLD  is calculated by the cost of the area verus  the average income for the base.    I guess all of the...
