    What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

    We're cleaning up from a barbecue across from our base HQ building - buddy points at a pile of ice cubes somebody dumped out onto the grass from a cooler? "Sergeant, what do we do with those ice cubes over there?" Sgt - "I don't know, private. Think if we just leave them there, nobody would...

    29 Apr 10: CF Wainwright Pers "Arrested For Alleged Drug Trafficking"

    Knowing most of the guys in question, I am quite sure it never occurred to them. None of them are exactly rocket scientists.

    R&Q at public expense

    I'll forego the pissing match and just say thanks for clearing that up ::) I lived on my own before I joined the army and expect no hand holding now that I'm in it..

    R&Q at public expense

    I'm not saying it isn't illogical, I've just been told enough horror stories about R&Qs to want confirmation. I'm not sure what you find confusing about my posts, they're worded pretty clearly imo.

    Occupational and Component Transfers (OT/CT/VOT) During and After BMQ (Merged)

    CFB Wainwright mailing address

    I'm trying to do a little personal admin while I'm on leave in Ontario and am trying to figure out my mailing address at CFB Wainwright. I couldn't find one on the DND website - the nearest I got was a Canex shipping guide PDF, so can anyone confirm or deny that this is correct? A12 345 678...

    Keep Politics Away From Forces

    While I agree with this, it irks me that I am not, as a serving cf member, allowed to be part of a political party or contribute money to one. I could see it being a problem if I were a senior officer, able through influence threats or armed revolution to influence policy...but as a mere...
