    Anyone else having trouble with The Personal Insurance company?

    We recently were posted and our house we purchased had only 60 amp service.  We have been dealing with The Personal for over three years now with no claims.  They told us they would not insure our new house unless we upgraded to 100 amp.  We upgraded and they asked for proof of the upgrade.  So...

    Withdrawing my application tomorrow

    I just received an offer from the RCMP, and I have accepted it.  The offer is bittersweet because if it weren't for the fact I've been waiting three years in the CF application process I would stick it out a bit longer and wait to join regular force. I still need to get more details, but it...

    Thinking of heading over to Esquimalt October 23/24th.   Anyone know if they provide lodging for R&R on base?   If not, how about a cheap place to stay while I'm in town - even a hostel would be fine as long as its reasonable. DME

    Do our "top three" choices mean anything really?

    I understand if there are no openings for my trade at any of my "top three" picks for postings that I won't get to any of my choices of course. But what about if there ARE openings at those bases?   Do they first post to where the need is greatest, then look at the top three choices of the...
