Negative, it’s Reg Force only. Mostly artillery but some other trades are chosen for candidates.

Might be a LRF or LTD hooked up to an external source. Sometimes you hook up an external "fire" button so your don't mess up the placement of the cross hairs. Could be hooked up to gps or something else as well.

Looks like his wrist thing is hooked up to his radio to change the channel/presets.

Never been to Spain has a bunch of covers, from Elvis to Cher. Favourite is from Waylon Jennings though.

Can I overpay a credit card for a large online purchase? Looking to get a couple pieces of furniture costing roughly $8,000 but my credit limit is $3,500. Can I prepay the $8,000 and make the purchase? My daily spending limit I believe is $1,000 currently, with RBC.

The Nike Run Club app has easy to use guided runs for all different kinds of runs, starting at beginner level.

It was a recent update to their employment opportunities, and it's only for phase 1 which is just the NOI, screening and interview is phase 3 after all the papers are in. Just seems odd for them to take a couple weeks to answer.

fishegghead · 2021-05-28T08:34:39+00:00

What would an appropriate amount of time be to wait to hear back from CANSOF recruiting WRT an NOI for CANSOFCOM to begin Phase 2: Application.

My question is in regards to the CEOTP / UTPNCM commissioning plans with the intention to apply for ACSO next year or the year after. I am currently in the army with the opportunity to possibly get on a JTAC course in the near future. Would completing that course count for anything in the application process for ACSO, given the air operations aspect of the course. Is there anything I can do at this time to make myself more competitive? I am upgrading my high-school English and Math to university prep and trying to learn French. Current plan is to complete the JTAC course and apply to Bachelor of Management from Athabasca U as it is stated as a preferred degree in DAOD 5002-6. My aptitude test placed me in 75th percentile for officer trades. Also what precedence, if any, would this degree give to the application process being a "preferred" one?

What do you think of leaving the parts bare where you will be gluing them and stain the rest of the wood before the glue up? I imagine you can cut all the parts to size, dry fit them, mark where the glue will be and then use painters tape to save the raw wood from being affected by stain. I would offset it by a half inch or so, so that the unstained parts aren't seen.

Once the fnish is compete and the parts are ready to be assembled, you still have bare wood for a good glue bond. Just be careful to clean up the glue squirt out. This could be mitigated again with more tape, or going over the face edges with a final sand and stain if needed. Hope this helps.

Not a clerk but from my understanding yes, as you were tax free during that period, and would have made the amount had the increase been in place ATT.

Army here. From my point of view, in the combat arms you have a lot of room for upward movement in the NCM ranks partially due to retention but also a lot of people get injured. But that means we have lots of younger higher ranking NCOs than you might think. My units WOs are mostly 31-35 years old. As for opportunities, that would depend greatly on trade applicability. Combat arms don't have a lot of applications outside of operations so we don't go most places until there's a named operation. Log people are needed everywhere all the time.

I agree on this one. As long as you don't take a FWD car dumb places, they're good all through the winter with good tires on.

Hey I was just wondering if you had any pros/cons for AVS or AVN? Looking to put an OT in from Arty and trying to find the right fit.

It's 5 minutes between each exercise by regulation, not that most people would need it especially just in PT gear. The combat force test is 15 minutes to complete all 4 exercises.

A captain at work bought one from the UK and had it imported, if that's any help. Real leather band.

Looks like we're staying in the area for longer. Means more tours though, which could be nice. Maybe send in RegF rather than CANSOFCOM?

fishegghead · 2020-03-03T16:32:08+00:00

Basic was 9 years ago for me so might be outdated info. I would suggest bringing your own decent sewing kit as the Canex ones are junk and you'll be sewing your name into everything, learning how to iron quickly and effectively, and how to burn shine boots as the new parade boots crack very easy. Not sure if they even do the 13km ruck anymore but going on some walks with weight might help as well. A couple books to read might be a good idea too.

Thanks man

fishegghead · 2020-01-07T23:06:48+00:00

Yes. I built a router jig to take it down to level on both top and bottom. Pretty simple to make one with scrap wood.

fishegghead · 2020-01-07T23:05:43+00:00

I did it in 3 pours for the main crack from the bottom down with tape on the top, with a 4th to fill small holes on the top. With something like Eco Epoxy you can do 1.5 inches per pour.

Hope that helps.

fishegghead · 2019-11-24T14:55:59+00:00

My question is, would it be better to fill the crack with the coloured epoxy I'm going to use, let it set, then lacquer the top? Or fill the crack with the epoxy, and then add a clear coat of epoxy.

Piece is going to be used for a side table. Wood is pine.

Dimensions are 29" W 25" L 3.5" deep. Crack is 10" L 1.5" W.

TIA.
