    Undergrad degree in kinesiology

    I was updating paperwork today and, believe it or not, there are now preferred degrees for Armoured and Infantry Officers (I suspect Artillery won't be far behind)

    Do bosns get issued a knife?

    That old stainless folding knife was the C5. I was just down at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington DC this past weekend and, there in the 60's vintage NASA emergency kit, was a version of the C5, lookiing exactly like the two I have here issued from the CF in the 90's ... The...

    Have Arts Degree and Tech Diploma--where to go?

    I've been told that there's a NOAB happening early April, but no one's confirmed the dates for me yet. Yes, NCS Eng is an Engineering trade requiring some kind of Eng degree as a prerequisite (though which ones qualify, I can't remember ... I'd have to look it up at work tomorrow) Other than...

    Congratulations and farewell to FDO

    After some 100-150 years in the Navy, FDO is swallowing the Anchor! This Friday will be his last day in Uniform. (meaning he will have to change his handle ... he'll no longer BE the FDO!)  ;D FDO will be moving on to a more profitable (if not necessarily as satisfying) job somewhere over the...

    Stuck in a terrible situation

    I heard today that there's an April BMQ we're trying to fill, but I was dealing with an application for a Naval Reservist ... so I'm not sure if it's a NAVRES specific BMQ or if it's for any Reserves or for anyone at all. My advice is don't dwell on it either way, you'll just drive yourself...

    Need information on Current military combat trousers....

    Are you sure you weren't looking at the new Naval Combat Dress trousers? They now have pockets on the legs to look more like combats. Why, I have no idea ... seems stupid in my opinion. Extra pockets on the legs to get caught on things on the ship, and for what? Unlike Army guys...

    How do I prepare myself for my boyfriend upcoming tour in Afghanistan...

    My most important advice to you is DO NOT pay attention to the news while he's away ... and if you DO happen to catch a newscast, take everything they report with a grain of salt. Remember that the job of the newscasters is to sell advertising on thier newscasts ... the more sensational the...

    Enroll Permanent Resident / Naturalized Citizen

    Where exactly are you finding this waiver? I just went and looked for it and couldn't find it ... I DID however find the FAQ and the "How to Join" sections, both of which state immediately off the bat that you must be a Canadian Citizen to join.

    The Government, the Opposition and the Media

    I brought this up at a "town hall like" meeting before one of the past elections. A member of a party that shall-remain-nameless but I can say with absolute certainty will NEVER form the government of Canada was trying to convince us to vote for his party. I asked why we should vote for them...

    2010 Olympics Watch

    Has anyone else been following the actions of these idiots in Vancouver? Now don't get me wrong ... I have no objections about protesting those things you're against or you feel aren't right in the world. I've been part of a few myself (protesting tuition hikes in University ... marching to...

    Opinions on the 2010 Opening Ceremonies?

    Just finished watching the Vancouver Olympic ceremonies. I fully expected to see opinions already posted here but I couldn't find any! Here are my thoughts: 1) HATED that version of Oh Canada ... what's wrong with the original? 2) Thought the cultural component was slightly boring. I looked...

    What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

    Dumbest thing I READ today, from today's' Toronto SUN {emphasis' mine}: I already ran around and asked all of the officers in our office if they were OK or if they needed a sandwich or a nap ... Link to the whole Editorial...

    knowing course dates beyond BMQ?

    Shiloh, you should have SAID you were a Supply Tech, I know a LOT more about those courses than anything else ... Are you FROM Shiloh? Because as a Supply Tech, you are most likely going from BMQ straight to Borden to wait for a QL3 course. They run fairly often, so you shouldn't have to wait...

    Grade 12 Semester 1 Final Marks

    I WOULD take them in ... no need for an appointment ... wouldn't you want your most recent marks considered? Worst case scenario, the RC says it deosn't need them or can't use them ... the board hasn't sat yet for ROTP selection, so if the RC sends your updated transcripts in, it's good for you...

    'Cause if people didn't have THIS to bug Mike about then they'd have to go back to bugging him about other boring things like site speed?? :D

    knowing course dates beyond BMQ?

    Course dates, and in what order you take them, will depend on available courses and which ones you Career Manager loads you on and when. No one here will be able to answer those questions for you.
