Is any one else having this problem? I’ve gotten a couple emails saying this: ~ Edwin Kwaussi Avenue 5 Lot 172 Cocody Quarters Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire Good day Dear One, Greetings and How are you today,I am Edwin  Kwaussi I am member of forums.army.ca I would like you to permit me to apply...

So I got my movement orders. I'll be arriving at the Kelowna airport at about 2am Sunday morning, meaning I'll get to Vernon by about 3am Sunday morning. Last year I arrive in the middle of the day, this time the middle of the night. Joy, too bad my return home isn't really later as well, I'm...

I've earned my silver star and I've been accepted to DnC. Truth is I only joined cadets last year and I have tried to advance myself as fast as possible in these 2 years. I am willing to just go and be a course cadet but I'm not just going to say 'well there's nothing I can do'. I'm going to...

I am already 18 and the main reason I want to be staff is that it is my last year before aging out that I can go to camp and I would like to have the experience as staff. And I never did expect more than a mcpl position. But in my opinion just saying 'I'm 18 and this is my last summer for camp'...

What is that actual likeliness of someone being able to transfer from being a course cadet to being a staff cadet? Also, on the advice of a few people, I am going to be writing a memorandum to request such a transfer. What sort of information should I include? Would anything specific make me...

Well, I made D&C. I really wanted to make staff for my last year, but I guess it's better then not getting accepted.

It's not only women that go over things in a book, so don't make it a male or female thing. I'm a woman and I don't go over and re-read my star book. If you seriously don't know what's going to be on your test then ask one of your seniors who took the test last year. Also, ask what tests you...

Lol, sounds like 17 platoon! But other than that, I agree, Charlie was one of the best! Trust me, I had friends from my home corps in foxtrot, delta, echo, alpha and pioneer and some of the problems they had were really something!! I also had someone from my home corps in 17 platoon, so I heard...

Truthfully, I always heard about the ‘charlie curse’ but no one could elaborate what it actually was. I know charlie also had a reputation for having attitude, but a little attitude isn't that bad necessarily, if it's a good attitude anyway.

Really? I heard charlie won the penant for the first time in 13 years in 2005. Oh well, all I know is we didn't win it in 2006. And I agree that there was definitely a curse on charlie, or at least still on us females. There didn't seem to be a week where there wasn't    some girls freaking out...

Delta was on one side of the barracks and echo and charlie were on the other. It seemed to me like charlie sgts were always on barracks duty.

I think you'd make a pretty good CSM. Good luck.

Really? My CO told me it was 30. Well, that gives us a much better chance of remaining an independent corps. Good thing.

Yep, really small. My corps is barely making the minimum of 30 to be an independent corps. Their squadron has about the same number, a little over 30. The other problem is not enough from the air side seems interested to be able to form a full marksmenship team.

I don't know about other corps, btu with my corps we have ftx's where we learn/do map and compass. Perhaps orienteering was meant instead? You know, competative map and compass? Or maybe my corps just has map and compass ftx's and other's don't.
