    BSERE training coming up next month, any suggestions?

    Well, that is one perspective of BSERE. With this course the school provides a choice of flight kit and CADPAT. Your stuff is going to get ripped, torn, and shredded. I haven't seen the joining instructions for ASERE- they maybe more particular for that course. Maybe I keep some CADPAT stuff...

    V 22 in Halifax...Very cool

    ;) As an aside, thanks for the clarification on the longbow, I thought it was a US whirlybird. Wasn't allowed on that side of the hangar when I was there. edited for spelling

    BSERE training coming up next month, any suggestions?

    Just finished the April serial of BSERE. I would suggest bringing the CADPAT stuff on the joining instructions. It is going to be wet and ichy. Some guys did wear their flight suits but most did not. Stick to the joining instructions and you will be fine. Baby wipes would be helpful. Gerber...

    I don't remember. Anyone have the address to Sikorski Helicopters? I need to send a thank you card.

    Forced to pay / belong to a mess [Merged]

    Inch, I vaguely recall that November mess diner. I was wondering if you were able to wash the twigs and leaves out.

    Yes, you are doing SLT. After SLT you will get a paid move to wait for Moose Jaw.

    Future of ASW?

    I am leaning more and more to MH. After speaking with 404-405 guys, my enthusiasm for the flying galley has wained. Any chance of you grabbing the EW courses? I put my name in, but the big U after 32 is a bit of a hinderance in getting the sexy courses- including advanced SERE.

    BASELINE Official Rant

    I thought I detected bragging. Are you on the Fredricton? If so, I'll see you Friday. Back to baseline, I have now put SPF 30 sun screen on my nose to prevent utltra violet burn associated with Baseline control centre alerts.

    BASELINE Official Rant

    BASELINE stinks. I believe it is actually causing damage to my retina. I believe I receive a 1000 Baseline Control Centre Alerts a day. The constant flashing of its white sign is causing me to have epileptic fits. I have tried everything to stop them, including: 1. Praying 2. Calling the...

    Civie career after RMC?

    AESOP, I need a 12 step program. I need to have a look over at the Family Resource Centre and inquire whether there is an empathy course available. If however I am restricted from using SAC (Smart Ass Comments), my posts would be limited to Aircrew selection, back hair remedies, and the...

    CF-105 Arrow (not army related, but still CF related.)

    Affectionately refered to as the "Pickle and Pucker" tactic. One would pickle the weapon, then would uncontrolably pucker as he turn and fled.

    Civie career after RMC?

    Would it be appropriate to make a smart ass comment concerning all the meanings of the word RANK? RANK 1. A relative position in a society; (n) 2. To give a particular order or position to; classify. (v) 3. Strong and offensive in odor or flavor (adj) Navy Rank- What exactly were you...

    Pilot Selection

    Let me weigh in with my tremendous wealth of experience. Last course, a standards pilot from Moose gave all us baby pilots a heads up of what we can expect. I'll quickly share. 1. Military flying is quite different from civilian flying. "Correct to the ideal." 2. Members who have already...

    What exactly takes so long at Borden for the medcal review?

    The med staff in Bordon are responsible for all recruits across Canada. Considering the number of applicants they must process and the number of staff they have to do it, it is outstanding that they are able to return a med file in 6-8 weeks. 0007 suggested that the staff were not professional...

    Pilot Selection

    I discovered last week at AMT that my name has been submitted for the Grob 120 evaluation course. Looks like late spring/early summer I'll be in Portage. I am thrilled. I am also 81 on the list for MJ ( not to be confused with spiderman's girlfriend). After that I will be flying the F-117 or...

    Discussion of Canada's Role in AFG (merged)

    I was home on leave today, watching Breakfast TV on ATV (CTV affiliate in Eastern Canada). The hosts erupted in an editorial rebuke of Canadian Forces in Afghanistan. To which I felt compelled to write a response. ------ I would like to take this opportunity to inform Mr. Baxter and the rest...

    Recruiting Posters, Slogans and Commercials [Merged]

    I was going to pose a cunning crafted, sarcastically lased, bitter inditement of your post. However, before penning the response I checked your profile. "Infantillery" Hmm. I guess that says enough. If you are currently in the CF, I would suggest you discuss your enlightened point of view with...

    Pilots Awaiting Training Questions

    It is possible. It depends on the receiving unit- whether they have space and or something for you to do. If you want to do your time on Ottaw, research a couple of units and submit them to 1 CAD. Apologies for my previous post. Today I am home buring off some leave. While I was typing I was...
