Does anyone here know how to go about submitting your education reimbursement yourself?  (without using the OR)  From what I understand, when the ILP goes through (which it had) and the appropriate ID numbers are provided, the transcript, payment record, and receipts are off to Kingston to be...

I think you should speak to the medics before running around sorting this and that out with your eyes.  I know you're hyped about getting in, but it's often a slow process and leaves you with time to spare.  Do you know what trade you're applying for yet?  If so, or if when you decide, it...

Congratulations.  I think it's good that you mentioned your inhaler even though it brought on trouble.  It just goes to show a degree of honesty; divulging something that could potentially smite your dreams.  I'm glad it all worked out for you.

I took a few days to go talk to my parents and start the "adjustment" process ...  They're getting used to the idea of deployment (as much as a few days can accomplish) but not Afghanistan.  I'm taking your advise an gathering information to provide them with to ease the stress.  Long journey...

RHFC_piper, Yeah, I see what you're saying.  I'm not taking any of this lightly and am taking everything you've said to heart (as I said already), so you know.  It's good advise.  I don't know how I'll take 6 months.  I guess no one knows until they do it.  Here, I don't work 9-5.  I work...

I'm not sure what you mean by that.  Ignorance as in not wishing to know what's going on back home or ignorance of something else? 

As cold-hearted as it sounds, I don't think about my family, my friends, my cat, etc when I'm at work.  Be it at my civilian job, during training or at a parade night.  I am 100% switched on. I appreciate your honesty in your reply.  Your advise is something I will take to heart. 

I did the Moss Park BMQ a year ago.  It wasn't bad and the commute was alright after everyone got to know eachother's locations and figured out a car-pool/buddy system.  When I started my BMQ I was not yet enrolled on SQ but became so only in the last days of my BMQ, thanks to my unit.  All of...

Greetings all.  I have posted my personal story about getting sworn in a year ago and after re-reading it, I would like to update and share some more (that sounds cheesy).  I've been in the reserves for a year now and although there are challenges and ups and downs, I love it.  I knew I...

Does anyone know if the dental coverage applies to common-law spouses of Reserves personnel? 

Nah, the OR was the first place I tried.  After getting nowhere I tried the logical approach and asked here.

I'm not sure what this form is called, it's for post-secondary study reimbursement for the reserves.  The program allows reservists to receive up to $2,000 per year of study.  Any help would be appreciated.

Unportable  :o !

What is this "typewriter" you speak of?  Is it an iPod accessory or does it plug into my cell?

Thank you very much :D
