the woman situation in Comox is beyond bleak. It's a small town, people who grow up here know eachother, and are completely un-interested in meeting other people. 9 of 10 people you talk to in town, guys or girls, will try to avoid talking to you if you're not local. If you force the issue and...

Yay! 465 made it. But from the looks of it being all closed up and not open to the public.. it might be the SAR Stby.

And for your next question... the cost of living is low in comparison to Vancouver/Victoria, but high in comparison to many other bases.

You guys should stop telling people.. otherwise competition for Comox is going to get tougher. Tell people you really enjoyed ColdLake, or Winnipeg.

I should have gotten into the helicopter manufacturing industry instead of the airforce. Someone, somewhere must be just pulling in the money now.

2 of 6 is a really good day at 442... that said.. You could have 9 of any other fixed wing aircraft serviceable, and its still not going to help you if they can't stop before the other end of the runway.

How does the DEO pilot numbers look. My brother has been fighting with the CFRC for over a year now just to get a date for ACS. He was told they were much more interested in ROTP and RMC then  DEOs. He's got a degree with grades in the 80% plus range, and he's very competitive in all the other...

If you are referring to my post above, it is referring to my post above it. Unless the Americans have started flying around with "Armée de l'Air" stenciled on the side of their aircraft?

They're French C160s. And the Buff looks nothing like a Herc... unless you ignore the nose, tail, wings, cabin, fuselage, ramp, gear, cockpit...

So is the aircraft currently near the Terminal in Cold Lake right now a C-27? Because it looks from the back.. like a herc that had 2 engines removed?

I'd love to see a PFT wait time of only 6 months? My timings so far? 16weeks IAP/BOTP 33 weeks SLT 365 Days OJT (Posting at OJT date, to PFT date.) From what I've seen for guys returning from PFT. 6-8 months of OJT before MJ. Anyone tells you that its going to be anything less then 22-24...

Negatory. I just tried to order one about a month ago, and was told that I could get one, but I wasn't allowed to use replacement points for it. It would have to be cash. Unless 2Lt isn't an officer rank.  :P

Quick question, I know the airforce is less "uniform" then say the army. And aircrew is especially less uniform, different patches in the same squadrons, different style nametags, different style wings, 2pc vs 1pc flight suits, different generations and materials of jackets. But now is there a...

Theres a picture of a Mosquito flying under the Eiffel Tower at the 19Wing Comox Museum. Might have been a different aircraft. I remember it having only one engine.

USAF pays about $17.50 per gallon of fuel delivered in-flight... or at least that's what one report I've read stated. $17.50x140,499... that can't be right. ~$2, 500, 000 worth of in flight fueling?

2 Questions: The photo with the C17 taking off, what's with the tail number being painted over? It's in light grey 177701 in all the other pictures, and in real life, but in that picture it's 500something or other? Point 2. It is setup for airtoair refueling from a boom style refueler? I was...

LUCKY 13!

Just did it. We went 60 hours straight before any down time. 4 hour taskings 12 persons per section. Once everyone had passed, and those who had failed had had one of their retests we finally got a 12 hour stand down. But camp defence continued. (so more like 8 hours downtime.) Meals and...

Used the A2 in basic. I'm right handed, and I hate the ambi-cocking handle, it gets caught on absolutely everything. Also if you hold the weapon tight against your body when patroling/crawling.. pretty much anytime the rifle hits something on the left hand side., its pretty easy to hit that mag...

When I was issued my boots, they fit great.. about 2 days later, i had to put on 2 pairs of socks to make up for the slack.. Next set of boots I get, I'll get the size that fits good with a really thin innersole.. and then I'll break them in, and then stick in a thicker innersole to get them...
