Media is now mining internet forums for blurbs to put into stories.
I remind everyone again to watch what they say and who they PM with.

Scott, I for one find myself contributing less and less to debates here for fear of the media boogyman coming by and taking my quotes and splashing it all over the news.
Is it at all possible for army.ca to (consider) setting something up where as all users need to register with the site before reading a single line where upon during registration they read a user agreement and it can state something along the lines that no comments on army.ca can be republished without the expressed consent of the author?
This post is about my experience and future ambitions in becoming a pilot. To start, I completed an ROTP application about a year ago but was told after my interview I was not competitive enough to proceed at that time. That was a bummer, but my determination to make it has not diminished in the slightest. I just transferred universities and as a result got to keep all my credits but my GPA was set at zero to start fresh. I am confident I will be applying (DEO) with much better grades.
Also, I am currently undergoing my BMQ for NCM infantry with the reserves. My plan has been to get into the reserves while I'm finishing my degree (about two more years) to give me an idea of whether or not the military is the right choice and also to make myself a more competitive candidate. I was wondering if anyone could advise me if this will significantly increase the appeal of my application or not?
Besides doing my best in school and training in the reserves I also practice karate regularly (including some teaching), rock climb, ski, lift weights and live an overall very active lifestyle. I am looking to start some volunteer work whenever I can fit it in with my busy schedule and aside from that I do not know what else I can do to help my application. Financially I cannot afford a private pilot license, however I am planning on saving up whatever I earn in the reserves and putting it towards basic flying lessons.
So that is my story and current situation. I am hoping for anyone with similar experiences to share their advice and if anyone else can contribute beneficial information it would be much appreciated. I know the road is long and hard but I want it more than anything and will do whatever I can to make it happen.
I look forward to hearing what you all have to say!
Hi there, sorry if this is posted somewhere else as a general question.
I am trying to plan my life around my boyfriends transfer to Ontario in the coming five months. He can't seem to get an answer of whether or not he will be in Borden doing QL3 AND QL5 or just QL3. He doesn't know where he's going to be posted yet either...he's been trying to get some information on that but no body knows anything....is that the way things work or?? (I'm kind of new to this whole military girl friend world).
If anyone could tell me why the military can't give him an answer right now of where he is posted, and how we can go about getting an answer if there is a way, that would be so awesome!
I was wondering if anyone knew if 12 Wing Air Reserve Shearwater was currently recruiting for any trades?
I have had difficulty reaching the unit recruiting officer and was hoping someone on the inside might have an idea, so I can at least start working on my application form over the holiday weekend.
If you’re looking to see if your eligible to re-enrol into the Air Force, visit our web site at: http://www.airforce.forces.gc.ca/v2/page-eng.asp?id=968 and decide if you want to give me a call. I'll try to check the forum every few days.
