I second the crystal light packages as well! Many, many, MANY of those got sent and were all used up. I sent a jar of kool-aid too (pre-mixed, sugar already added) and he mixed those... kool-aid also released shortly after, some kool-aid single mix packages too now, so I would have started...

Susan, unless he brings his own laptop, he probably won't have access to a computer long enough to do games and stuff... mine bought a laptop during his HTLA which he used. He was not allowed to hook online with it (security reasons, etc...) Also - if your sons say to hold back info until you...

As the grand-daughter of a Scottish highlander piper (POW, 2nd world war), I would like to thank everyone here for the support they have given to Ryan :)  This kind of comraderie is what we need to see again :) Take care!

Hi Muffin -- To transfer from province to province with your teachers cert isn't that difficult. My friend graduated in the spring from Ontario cert and had her Manitoba one almost immediately after. There is a brief examination from what she explained and of course, the customary exchange of...

Nova Scotia Girl, For one thing, don't go into Graphic Design :P  I don't think that is one of the careers that would be posting-friendly. I can just picture myself now on the street-corner in Petawawa/Pembroke selling art cheap on the corner just to survive :P  My journalism background? Uh -...

Hello, I just thought I would add my 2cents here! We've been in Petawawa now since September (five months now!) and have yet to find a job. It's been a tough go but, I'm still trying to remain positive. Is having a career harder for a military wife? Uh, I'd like to venture on the far side and...

Currently am going through the same (kind of) thing as you are with regards to schooling. I'm also almost done and will be commuting one day a week to 'creatively' finish off my degree. I need only 21 credits, 3 will be done through correspondence (let's see how fast i can get that one done...

Whooooooo, maybe this topic needs a bit of a refocus  ;D The original question I suppose was, Can a teacher teach military history and be respectful? Yes, of course! I'm a history student working on my BA4 and with hopes of becoming a teacher. So, this is in my area. Maybe I can relate a story...

Thanks Paracowboy - with only like, 3 or 4 years until retirement, going away isn't exactly something we want to see though, I'm betting they'll get their money's worth out of him another one or two more times before then...  :warstory: Until next time (ohhhhhhh, and I'm sure there will be!)...

Off topic a tad here, but - paracowboy, you said that the military "shifts" its focus from one area to another (I'm assuming locations, right?) for overseas deployments? Any idea what the next area will be heavy with deployment? We just got posted to Pet and I really, really, really, really...

Thanks guys - we finally got the *official* posting message though hubby is still overseas. I guess we can't do anything with Royal Lepage until he returns, right? When we get the package of something-or-other?? :D I guess the next three weeks (when he finally returns!!) I can spend going...

Siggy, I don't think you should have taken the comments in a negative way. They weren't poking fun at you but - at the military :) My hubbys return date has been changed ohhhhhhhh, about 15 times... verbally and officially and unofficially and such... I'm going to assume (and, that's all I...

Thanks guys, that's *exactly* the kind of stuff I'm looking for! Some of the other stuff I've heard (though I can't remember it all, I'm not exactly known for my great memory! *laughs) is that some people have marked boxes as they've been packed (with an ID of some kind, like, "kitchen" or...

Hey, thanks guys! Wow, I'm impressed at the quick response, you guys are really, really, really... fast :) Move isn't that far away, about three hours.  It's my first move, his third (or fourth?) and - he's not exactly *detailed oriented* on his past moves I'm figuring, so I'm not sure he knows...

Hi Guys - long-time reader, first time poster here! :) This is my first move, and I'm just wondering if any of you out there can help or suggest moving tips. Anything I should be aware of? Any good ideas you've had during your past moves? I've moved before but obviously, this is a bit...

My husband is also overseas. The past six months have been VERY long. He left beginning of December but was gone a few weeks before hand for training and the such, so it makes it feel very very long! :) Before his leave, I didn't really send any packages or anything.... was too busy feeling...
