    Christmas Break 2010 & Course Start Date

    I was given leave from 14 Dec 2010 to 3 Jan 2010 - they want us to save some leave because it turns out they are posting the PATs to Wainwright, Petawawa, and Valcartier. Your reply was spot on trav. I'm discouraged about the chance that after the ACISS trade activates in January that I might...

    Christmas Break 2010 & Course Start Date

    I arrive in Kingston on 10 Dec 2010 fresh off Basic (grad on 9 Dec 2010) and am wondering what to expect. A friend told me I should expect to get a room key on the 10th and told to come back for 0730h 10 Jan 2011. Any thoughts on this, even if only based on past experience? Also - any ideas on...

    Cheers jollyjacktar - great story.  And many thanks to Mr. Polowin and to the great work done by the many Canadians and Allies who made it home, and to those who didn't.

    Enrollment / Swearing In Ceremony [MERGED]

    Wow  feetfirstintoheck- I'm really sorry to hear that. Did you inform your file manager of this injury? I would strongly suggest that you seek guidance through official channels. It would be terrible if you injured yourself by pushing too soon. To answer your question - I was told that PT and...

    Enrollment / Swearing In Ceremony [MERGED]

    Regarding the pension... I signed a form authorizing them to deduct pension contributions for my LWOP from my first pay. This is supposed to negate the larger issues. George - by doing this am I saving myself that trouble later?

    Hey AndyRad - Good luck tomorrow in Calgary! I was there from noon until 2:30... we were a group of thirteen split in two. The paperwork occupied most of the two and a half hours. I'd be surprised if you were there for as long! Let us know how it goes.

    The Congo (merged)

    Pardon this dated article:  http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2010/04/30/canadian-military-congo-deployment.html While I do not have the breadth of knowledge to tackle this subject, I do want to say that I don't think we're heading to the Congo as it seems far too politically messy. And while...

    So it begins..

    C.G.R - I'm really pumped that at 16 years old you've "been wanting to join the military for years." I was in Cadets when I was in high school but I got away from what I wanted to do for years... for about ten years actually. Now I'm starting my basic in two weeks and I couldn't be more excited...

    Medal of Honor (the game) Controversy

    I don't draw a distinction between the GTA series which allows players to murder police officers and Medal of Honor which allows you to murder ISAF troops. The death of 1LT Ken Ballard is tragic. And the concerns of Ballard’s mother, Karen Meredith, I appreciate. I worry about a generation of...
