    On the West Coast.

    I'm also on the West Coast - and have noticed the same thing after, say 2300 local (which would put it at around 0300 where Mike is). I always figured that backups, or updates, or whatever were the cause for the delays - apparently, for once, when I "assumed", I didn't make an ASS out of U or...

    Protesting while serving

    I think a lot of you are mistaking "protest" for "violent protest and riots".  One is LEGAL (and in my view, REQUIRED of an informed citizenry), the other is ILLEGAL and should not be participated in by law abiding citizens (including members of the CF).  My views on civil disobedience occupy...

    Sports while in the Canadian Forces...

    I think the link should do it.  The CFPSA page, found here:  http://www.cfpsa.com/en/psp/fitness/policies_e.asp  has many useful links, including CFAO 50-3.  Some links on that page (including CFAO 50-3) lead to DWAN only pages - which means that if you're not on a DWAN computer, you can't get...

    Barack Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize

    And just where did you hear that? Here's a quote from the Nobel Site (http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/shortfacts.html ): Emphasis added by Roy.

    Soldiers going home after 'highlight' of careers

    While I am certainly not an apologist for (of even a sympathizer of) the Liberals, let's not forget that there were Conservative governments (of the "Progressive" brand) who were also involved in the fiscal starvation of the Forces. The longer I live, the less I believe that a particular...

    What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

    I'm self employed (or self UN-employed, as my neighbour likes to say) - I work in a shop located on my personal property.  My corporation rents the shop from me (and it's bloody behind on its rent!!)  That makes my shop a "work place", and I smoke in it - hell, I even drink beer in it! I'll be...

    3649 Asks: MP Academy, Overtime & Time Off

    I think you're being overly sensitive there, MedTech. All trades have their "nicknames" - and most of them aren't complimentary, if taken apart. I was a "pencil pusher", you are a "pecker checker", my wife was a "bin rat", I have friends who are "meat heads", "grunts", "zipperheads"...

    Financial Advisors??

    Strong words. I've never dealt with SISIP for investments - but I really don't think they're "crooks". I had a different experience with Investor's Group than others here - perhaps I was lucky in my representative, I don't know - but although others have had a different experience, no one has...

    Protesting while serving

    The previous posters have it right.  As long as you don't identify yourself as a member of the CF - protest away.

    Dalai Lama welcomed to Alberta with "Calgary tradition"

    It's not ignorant at all. I've lived in Calgary.  And I've lived in Edmonton. Two different cities - two different outlooks, and I'm familiar with both of them - where's the "ignorance"?. I don't recall calling you a "dope" - I mentioned that there were "those dopes" from Edmonton; if you...

    Officer qualification after CFAT

    AA: I see by your profile that you're 28, long out of high school. The CFAT measures APTITUDE - not qualifications.  Others have outlined various routes available to you (most include finishing high school), and I won't elaborate on them. Perhaps, however, a few words from one who has been in...

    3649 Asks: MP Academy, Overtime & Time Off

    Good info. Small correction.  Y'all are paid ONCE a month, approximately half of it is deposited in the bank twice in a month.

    A&W Papa Burgers: The choice of Griffon pilots everywhere

    Nope.  But my co-pilot is a pretty cute 120 lb Mastiff.  We draw looks.

    A&W Papa Burgers: The choice of Griffon pilots everywhere

    Yup.  And it increased sales for A&W.  The wife is working the evening shift - so I didn't feel like cooking.  Off I went to the local A&W for a Papa Burger (and a Baby Burger for my faithful canine sidekick).

    Financial Advisors??

    My advice would be along the same line as most previous posters. DO NOT use an "individual" as your financial advisor.  Go with an established corporation of some kind - any of the banks is a good start.  Other companies, such as Investor's Group, ING, and the like (I'm not shilling for any of...

    Question about saying hello or introductions?

    The MOC is "050" - or in French "cinq un".

    Question about saying hello or introductions?

    What an excellent idea - we should implement it for those who support the board. Wait - such a forum does exist - for subscribers.  Many other benefits accrue to those who support the board. Go here http://milnet.ca/subscribe/ for more information.
