Rest in peace, you will not be forgotten.  :cdn:

RIP :salute:

Michael The family has indicated the funeral is open to the public.  The church has over 700 seats (includes overflow).  1 RCHA would welcome local reservists who wished to attend.  41 CBG has been (and continues to be) a great asset in assisting us with the funeral preparations.   There will...

A scholarship has been established and the goal is to raise $20,000 so that $1,000 can be awarded annually. If friends so desire, memorial tributes may be made directly to: The Captain Nichola K.S. Goddard Memorial Scholarship Fund c/o The Faculty of Education University of Calgary 2500...

S6 I agree. It would be good to see more Cbt A Sr NCMs take the technical training and then be employed in DLR.  There will always be some griping about kit, no matter what.  Can't please everyone all the time but you shoot for a high percentage. The submission of UCRs is a good way to get kit...

CTV televised the Ramp Ceremony in Trenton last night (approx 2345 hrs EST) from a camera outside the gate. I wish I could have been standing on the tarmac ......  I am grateful the media showed the ceremony live.  A Memorial Service will be held in CFB Shilo on Wednesday, 31 May 06 at 1300...

I had the pleasure of knowing and serving with Nichola for the last two years in 1 RCHA.   She was a professional and conscientious officer who always put the welfare of her soldiers before her own needs.  She always wore a smile and knew when to work hard and when to play hard. Nic, End of...

I heard on the Brandon local TV news that a trust fund for the family was being set up at the Westoba Credit Union.  Donations can be made at any branch in Manitoba. Phone #s can be found at this site. http://www.westoba.com/public/bins/content_page.asp?cid=10-276 My deepest condolences to the...

Get in touch with the Edmonton MFRC.  They should have a deployment support coordinator who can put you in touch with the local spousal support group and/or unit homefront organisation.  You are not alone. Randy

S6 That's probably half the answer.  The officers and WO's that you want in Ottawa as project staff need to come from field units and be "current" on the latest equipment, TTPs, etc.  However, the words "Ottawa, NDHQ, cubicle-land, etc" are usually met with some level of derision from the field...

I took the LFTSP in 2001 and quite enjoyed it. I will admit the course was evenly split on whether it was a good thing or a waste of time.  The course is designed for graduates to go work in DLR, DGLEPM, LFTEU, etc afterwards.  Maybe half of my course went into a tech staff job.  I believe...

Dasani water AND you probably got your electricity back on too  ;D I heard guys mentioned they smelled diesel in the gym shower rooms this morning and reported it.  Maybe the morning was spent testing water and figuring out the magnitude of the contamination problem?  Doesn't take too much...

In rare cases C&P can be given for the same incident but a lot of time needs to have passed since you've been off of it and you need to be an exceptional soldier as well.  As an example, you could be the young soldier out there over indulging in alcohol who gets into tons of trouble during your...

Perhaps we need a new rank/appointment like Corporal and Master Corporal.  We could have Captain and Master Captain (2 bars and a leaf).  ;) Seriously though, I see the retention benefits ($$) for promoting "on time".  Most of the officers graduating phase training that this seems to apply to...

In the RegF one of issues we are dealing with now is that some officers have earned most of their time towards promotion to Captain while still in the training system.  When they complete phase training and are posted to their first unit, many are due to be promoted within a few months of...

Nope.  If 2VP stays you might have the odd FOO party from B Bty with you but that's it. 

FSD = Foreign Service Directive Go here to read it. http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/pubs_pol/hrpubs/tbm_1112/fsd-dse-58_e.asp

Block leave for 1 RCHA is by Battery this summer.  A and C are already done and B Bty is on leave now for the next 2 weeks.  Most of the regt is going to Wainwright from mid-Sep to end Oct for the Brigade Training Event.  So if you arrive 17 Aug you'll probably get a few days to move in but...
