The next QL5 that was supposed to start has been cancelled from all the sources I've heard, so we will be stalled for a while.

Time is coming up for me (approx 18 months) to be finished my initial 6 year contract. Looks like I'll be a QL3 at the end of it, due to my work tempo and the upcoming July 5s being cancelled. I'll doubt they will let me start my 5s in the winter course having only a few months left of my...

The word I heard was that the CLS wanted us to have the back pay before April... But please stir the pot as I could use the money to get my new toy a month earlier than I plan on lol.

That is also the other rumour that I heard, that we had to wait for the rest of the units to finish up their paper work... So if it isn't all completed by all the approriate units nobody gets it at all even after the start of the fiscal year?

All we filled out was basically our basic personal info, our join date (to figure out how many "points" we have since the rate increases with points) and when we were posted to the unit and if we have served with other field units. This was filled out and had to be handed in before the end of...

Good luck and HAVE FUN! Don't party too much, but bond with your team mates and relax, it's not as bad as you think it will be. I enjoyed my 3s, especially my final on car portion.

I'm at 2 Fd Amb, have been there since late June of 2008. We have filled out a form for back pay for "Land Duty Allowance" wich is basically 297 a month for being in a field unit. We are being back payed I beleive for the last 2 years, but for me it will only be since June... Either way, it's...

Hey guys. I got my first posting message, to 2 FD Amb. But in the information it says Maintenance, someone else has Driver and someone else has Med A... So what does this Maintenance thing mean? All I can figure is I'll be helping to look after the vehicles since in my previous life I was a...

Thanks! it sounds great! Some friends of mine were actors for Striking Serpent last year and it looks like an absolute blast, thats the stuff I want to learn and why I joined. However, I think I will miss it since I won't be there untill late June, early July. Look forward to start actually...

    Hey everyone. I'm in my med tech QL3, finishing up my portion in BC. We got a little notice of where we are all posted, I got 2 field amb. So I'm excited to finally get a posting since this is the one I wanted! Of course, since its my first posting I have questions, and I'm nervous about...

I Loved Borden. For me it was as close to my hometown as I'll ever get. Barrie is good for night life with a variety of clubs/pubs, and the hooters loves us! I had a good time, lots of trails on base, nice quiet type of place wich is how I like it. If either of you has a 4wheeler, you can join...

    I'm now at JIBC in chilliwack doing my practical... It's a challenge but a good time!     I've had 2 shifts in ERs and due to some scheduling issues I've had 4 ambulance shifts... I've had mixed shifts, some are slow, some are fast, sometimes all you do are patient transfers it seems or...

What is Petawawa like for entertainment? I'm the outdoorsy type I love fishing and hunting and I would love some trails to ride my dirt bike around on. I haven't had the chance to do much fishing or hunting since joining but I hope to change that, Pet seems to be the place...

Thanks for the help guys. I take it St. Micheals is talking about JTF2 medic positions. I would need a couple more pushups but the rest is not that hard for me physically. We have a JTF2 "seminar" here this month a few of my classmates and I will be attending. Looks like 2nd Field amb will be on...

Hey all, thanks for any help you may dish out for me. I'm on my 3s at the moment, and we are in the process of giving our 3 choices for where to go. Myself, my 3 choices are down to Kingston, Trenton and possibly Ottawa. Of course, personal reasons influence my decisions, but I would like to...
