So how long is your type course in greenwood on the aurora?I heard it was like a year and a half with sucks ***!And how is the woman situation in comox?Is Courtenay a fair size city?

 
  I did my type course years ago... they've made them somewhat longer in the last few years, more practical.  The AVN type courses are split into Propulsion and Flight Systems...  prop is about 3.5 months now I believe, the flight course is maybe a month longer, but I'm not sure about the exact lengths, so a grain of salt there.  The AVS guys are split into Tactical and Navigation specialties....  I think their courses are of similar length, but that's heavy on guesswork for me.  I wouldn't worry about spending more than 6 months in Greenwood on course.

  I'm married, so I really don't know what the dating scene in Comox/Courtenay is like; but I have eyes and there are plenty of women walking around....  It's got to be better than Greenwood was in any event.  Courtenay is a decent size.... you can get most anything that you need.  The only thing I missed there was a large book store like Chapters.  Lots of places to go out and eat and pretty much any type of outdoor activity you would care to name.

the woman situation in Comox is beyond bleak.

It's a small town, people who grow up here know eachother, and are completely un-interested in meeting other people. 9 of 10 people you talk to in town, guys or girls, will try to avoid talking to you if you're not local. If you force the issue and start talking to them, they might get rude.
It's not just an anti-millitary thing, I've met several people who have moved to this town after they finished school, and they're good people and i hang out with them regularly... they say the same thing.
If you don't know Andrea and how she's cheating on her husband with Dave, you know Dave the tall guy who your gf dated when she was in highschool.. then you're not part of the gang.

If you do manage to meet someone, and get her to talk, expect a pre-fab family. Shack up with her and the kids are free.
THIS IS NOT A JOKE.
I thought it was a joke when i got there.. it's not, and it's perfectly acceptable to ask the moment you meet someone.. "do you have kids? are you divorced?"

Small town.. people tend to stay.. born.. live.. die..

Thats because Greenwood sucks dead donkey ***............

Oh, you can't hurt my feelings by insulting G-wood...nice try, though.

I love the valley, and I've spent quite a bit of time in Greenwood (fiance was posted there until earlier this year) and thus, I think I would like to be posted there at some point. I'll take what I get, of course - and I have to get in first and foremost - but Greenwood will be my #1 preference when I do.  ;D

I love people who WANT to go to Greenwood. The more people like you, the better. Just decreases the chances of me ever having to go back there.

And the more people there are like YOU, the better my chances are of getting a posting there. Perfect! ;D  I have to agree about the Top Hat, though...it's kind of a skanky dive, eh. lol

I supposed theres always "Legends" in Kentville, if you like driving at 60Km/h on the highway of death.

North and South mountain.............How can you call those "mountains"

Weekend in halifax ?  Whats the price of gas again ?

The mess hall in greenwood........yeah right

The Iron Pot Pub.......fantastic place on welafre wednesdays.......

Want to rent an appartment..........good luck with that

Like to buy trendy clothes ?  Guy Frenchies has nothing but the best clothes nobody wants  (theres 3 of them within 15 minutes of the base)

Tim Hortons........they only hire rude , abnoxious military brats and military wives

Now that the Robbin's coffee is closed, where is the motorcycle social club gathering ?

 

[Eye In The Sky]

That makes it all so appealing!

I was down there about 4 weeks ago.  It was nice to get back to Halifax.   ;D

There are a few things I do like about the area...Cape Split, Falls Lake, Blomidon Park, and Keji but...I can drive to all those from Shearwater/Halifax.

I used to live in Kentville, so I am quite familiar with the area.   Abnoxious military brats and military wives, huh? Nothing like a good negative stereotype to brighten the thread! lol I haven't had any issues with the service at either Tim's in Kingston/Greenwood. New Minas and Wolfville, on the other hand... :

By the way, the motorcycle peeps gather at the Coldbrook Timmie's on Tuesday nights. Not that I would know.  ;D

Shearwater is on my list as well. Lots of friends in Haffilax.

Oh and lets not forget the wonderful choice of hotels when you are on your HHT

The Aurora Inn........If "best western" ever came down to see what they put their name to, the would take out a full page apology in the local newspaper

The Wandlyn Inn.......yeah whatever. I stayed there too  DUMP

  Oh, and there is a Boston Pizza now, too!

Yup, its in New Minas across from the Harvey's / Swiss Chalet......again, the price of gas makes going there fun for the average person and again, you are taking your life in your hands on that freakin highway. There was a rumour that a BP was going to open behind the Husky on the 4 way intersection in Greenwood......but instead the openned just what they area needed......a shopper's drug mart   YAY !!!

Oh and did i forget the apple blossom festival and the Kingston Steer BBQ ?

Fun stuff

I was about to correct you, but you saw the error.   BP reminds me of the cinemas in New Minas...dinner and a movie. Greenwood does also have the Zedex as well...gotta love the Zedex!!
