    CI/CIC/CV

    I did finally hear back from the CFRC about this and they say basicly the same as everyone, it depends. They were able to tell me that I need to be a CI for at least a year though before I can try for CIC. So I'll have to make some phone calls to see if any of the Cadet Corps Here in Winterpeg...

    CI/CIC/CV

    I recently was stopped from Rejoining the Reg Force due to a Medical Problem, I'm assuming this would also stop me from joining CIC but I was wondering if it would also preclude me from being a CI or CV. If I can't get back in I would at least like to use what I know to help others towards thier...

    MedTech is thinking about trying a cigar! Any suggestions?

    Cohibas are nice, expense though. One of the best cigars I ever had was in mexico at the resort I was at they had a small cigar shop that once a week had a guy sit out front and hand roll cigars very nice. If your just looking to try something inexpensive look for Pom Poms or Captain Blacks.

I also use to laugh my butt off when one of the girls on course who was a vegetarian would always be given a double serving of what ever the meat item was. I think the...

    Would I be pushing my luck?

    Assuming I get back into the CF I have a pair of Advancer V12 goggles with the prescription inserts from being a Vol. Firefighter. Would bringing them along to BMQ be a bad idea. I don't want the instructors to think I'm being a smart-a**. But in Field conditions they would make a difference...

    Worst choice..quitting the forces

    I was quitting because of personal life stuff not because of the military. The WO pointed out that leaving the military wouldn't change any of the problems, and he was right and I should have listened. But as they say Hindsight is 20/20

    Worst choice..quitting the forces

    Same here I VRed almost 15 yrs ago because of a bad choice, I wasn't smart enough to listen to a very wise WO at the time.
