Even though I'm not AF, my options for postings (despite being 4 years away) are looking good. Esquimalt, or Halifax, and I've heard great things about both.

Not very good with the obvious are you? And somehow I don't think a town full of kids getting smashed and high is something "lol" worthy.

Give your head a shake.

Not good with the obvious ? what does that mean ? No, I will not give my head a shake, and well, thats your opinion

On another note, my folks seemed to like Greenwood
 
My folks liked Greenwood too, my folks also avoid the internet machine, cell phones and I am almost certain their remote control is connected to the Betamax via a cable.  Betamax for you Greenwood types should be coming to a Wacky's near you sometime soon.
 
Winnipeg was really good, I'd go back there again.  What Max said, surprising, but quite good, my wife and I enjoyed our time there, minus-frickin'-fortyfive for months on end notwithstanding.  St-Hubert was also good, Montreal is a fantastic city to hang out in!  Ottawa wasn't bad, but choices are limited to Challenger crews.  K-town rocks, great restaurants, awesome camping, sailing and outdoor activities, I'd liken it to Victoria without the mountains and a couple of months of mild winter...it's my choice for now.

If you stand in the middle of Greenwood / Kingston and throw a rock in any direction you will hit 2 things. Can anyone guess what they are ?

Hmmm...a Frenchy's and a ....?  :P

An apple tree or a Goler.  (Perhaps both with the same rock if the Goler is sitting under the tree!)  ;D
 
No Wal-Mart in Greenwood, although one would be nice..


Too funny duffman I was just typing that exact same thing....
 
Duffman...TFF.

I guess it all depends on what you want.  I have 2 friends just posted there this summer...they both like it...both have young families.

Personally, I find it small and beer-na-neer hillybilly and prefer to visit than stay.  Come on, West Coast!

TFF? True Friends Forever?  >:D

I will be in Greenwood soon enough for a glorious all expenses paid vacation, having lived there years ago it scares me to say it has grown a bit (a new Canadian Tire and Sobeys, not bad for 20 years *borat pause*.........    not )

I did hear that the barracks have been wired for High speed internet!  Colour TV is around the corner!

Too F**kin Funny actually  8)

Are you there starting Sept 8th or are you on the next one??

 
A "Needs" store and an "Avery's Farmers market"

I dunno...  I'm still thinking if you're going to be throwing rocks around that part of town you're more likely to bean a Goler before the rock hits the Needs store.

I'll put my theory to test next time I'm out there for an OMS session.
 
Well - guess Greenwood hasn't changed much - still full of apple trees and Golers.  At least they still have the Curling Rink - sure miss those bonspiels - best I ever attended!! Reminds me - is there at least a Tim Horton's on base or close by that is open everyday? Last time I went looking for a Timmies there I had to go to New Minas - not fun when you are severely hung over. Mind you, if someone had told me the rink was serving drinks at breakie it would have saved me the trip - double shot of dark in black coffee and ready to go again!
 
There is a Tim's just outside the base.  There was actually one in 11 hgr a number of years ago... but it didn't last long.

The key word here is "before". The rock will hit a Needs store.

I'll make sure to go with you.

???

I hope you don't think the Air Force spends most of their time doing nothing.....  Having come from Pat Bay to Comox I can assure you that MH and LRP community is very active and busy. 

Yup thats right Pat Bay to Comox, the two best Air Force postings out there and I got them early so its all down hill from here.
