Hehe, you think Vancouver is bad, try going to UVic as an ROTP student.. If anyone knows the scenes between scenes in Jackass where they go after eachother with the razor? Yeah, I'd LOVE to do that around here..  >:D

7 years Airfield Engineer, a little under 6 years class B/C (2 tours), and about 4 months class A. It becomes infinitely more easy to get work though when you are 3s trained, and as a tradesman it's even better to be 5s (3s aren't technically allowed to work unsupervised. technically)..

Haha, you don't work at CFRC Vancouver do you kincanuck?

Hehe, Mr Wallace is not biting gentlemen.. I'd love to get a 6.8% raise retro from March (and my CC *WAS* under the impression it would be around 5% for NCMs), but we need PROOF not just word of mouth. I'll wait for the cheque..

Where is this coming from?

Naw, the rumour's started, time to carry it through.. I should call everyone I know ;)  (j/k!)  I believe nothing until the money is in the bank..

Great, the rumour mill starts turning again.. Although 6.6% would be awesome, that's some decent back pay. Now we can only hope until the official announcement I guess.

Or you can do what we did when the upper echelon decided to cancel adventure training apparently for "lack of interest".. The guys who were interested got together and we planned our own "death march".. Essentially a brutal hike that would do what adventure training is supposed to do: challenge...

Anyone out there do the Mountain Man in Edmonton while they were an OCdt in ROTP? I did it a few years ago when I was a reservist, and I want to do it again, but I'm wary of approaching my subsidized education manager unless there has been some kind of precendent set before. Don't know how easy...

I was a reservist with the airfield engineering flight in Abbotsford until this summer, when I went ROTP to the University of Victoria. Everyone seems to think that it's harder to get into civvie U, but while there are several hundred students at RMC, my subsidized education manager, who deals...

That's a really good point, never thought of it that way..

Well Hillier isn't the first CDS to come along with "big plans" and ideas to "shake up the establishment".. I don't plan on worrying about anything until it happens. Sorta like that pay raise we were supposed to get last fall (lol, maybe they'll just roll it into the '05 FY pay adjustment, due...

Don't forget the 'wack! ASU Chilliwack still has people, something like 30-40 Reg I think?

Sounds a lot more reasonable. Where did you find the info? Chimo!

50 feet is quite a bit, that's a lot of area, and that could amount to a lot of troops.. What do you expect from a fist size lump of explosive? This isn't octanitrocubane or HMX you know. Chimo!

15 METERS is a lot.. That's 50 feet.. Are you sure that they weren't talking feet on your course? Chimo!

Just on a slight sidenote, is it possible to access the CANFORGENs from the net, vs checking them on the DIN? I don't get much access to any baselined machines and I'd like to be able to keep up on what's new. Thanks. Chimo!

Whoever administers the test should be doing a demonstration for you, just to show you how to step (not double stepping on the middle step and all that). As for the beat, just go with it. You aren't supposed to try and be faster or anything, the whole purpose of the step test is to check your...

Just remember though that even though there are bad officers, there are good officers too.. It's just like the ranks. I've had good Sgts and horrible Sgts. I'm a big believer in the whole teamwork theory, that everyone has a job, and that everyone's job is important. Well except for those...

Don't forget US service flights. There was a guy in my old unit who used to fly to Hawaii once in a while on US flights. This was in the mid 90s but I would guess it works similar to the way ours used to: basically you're standby and you could very well be on a Herc but what the heck right...
