Add to the last post is that the end of summers after IAP/ BOTP are filled in with SLT

Huggy, I can sympathize with your situation somewhat, I had fininshed my schooling and then decided without a doubt that the CF was for me. My mother did not take this well and neither did my father but both came around when they had seen what it meant to me. Whatever you do make sure this...

For signing up well here it is: Spencer Sharpe Calgary CFRC 023 Infantry Officer messenger is chipdudeman@hotmail.com As for questions about the IAP/BOTC, is there a CIBC close to the area or should I start a new account elsewhere?

Just recieved the call for 023 Infantry Officer at 1300 Mountain time. If anyone else is swearing in on December 15 in Calgary hit me with a PM. Spence

I had the same problem when I applied with my mother. I think it is just a knee jerk reaction to the possibility of their loved ones moving on to the clearing at the end of the path. Sit down with her and explain why you would serve the flag and try to make her understand. Stories I found didn't...

Since we are talking about hunting and bears, what are peoples thoughts on baiting. I come from BC and work in Alberta, and see the number of lazy people on quads and such checking baits instead of looking for animal signs. It just kills me to see this! come on peolple walk the land, and I...

Could always look at it as a conspiracy. With the military gone, nice neighbor USA defends our borders and we slowly become the newest american state. This would be payment for the protection! ;)

Forget the overpriced camelback name brand. Try looking on the Mountain Equipment Co-op site for similar products but alot cheaper

I have to commend Mike on this site, all the posts were hugely helpful in my processing and understanding of the military. So here is a huge thank you to Mr Bobbit and all of the posters on the site :)

maybe capital punishment on display, i think they still have the gallows in Ottawa?

I was wondering the same thing because I am heading into northern alberta to work (high level). I guess I dont need to post a question so thanks to everybody.

This may be a catch 22 situation here. I agree 100% that respect should be shown to the armed forces who have and are serving the flaq and current incarnation of Canada as it is a family trade with one exception, but without people understanding what this service means, I think that the respect...

Does anyone think a mandatory 2 year service in the military when you graduate highschool would help this in any way? Maybe we would have fewer trouble makers and more appreciative canadians after understanding what goes on in defence of our rights and nation.

I am finishing my degree in Natural Resource Management: Forestry and was told that it was a good degree to have. This was because of the reclamation and rebuilding that goes on after conflicts etc, they need people with an enviro background to help.

I guess it is home sweet home still in northern towns ;)

"Anyways, PG guys are panzies compared to the snake-eaters from Quesnel." Not trying to get into a pissing match here, but the roughest place in BC has to be Fort St John. Just from experience, I worked from Ft Nelson to 100 Mile House and Bella Coola to the Alberta Border in forestry and it had...

GrahamD has it right. BC is not all hippies and such. As for protests at Universities I personally feel that you can‘t really get an accurate view of the political landscape just because universities are becoming more of a platform the liberal thinkers and protesters to speak from. As for PG...

Well ladies and gentlemen, being BC born and bred and watching the military installations here dwindle in numbers, with no real army base located here (nearest one is edmonton i think) it is hard to drum up support, i can understand the lack of support for the military here. But don‘t classify...
