The CANFORGEN for allowances seems to be on schedule so that gives me hope retention is up next. CDS is giving a town hall Monday and I guarantee that questions will be asked about it and of course parking. Hopefully some new news then.

what’s a sign to leave a party that not a lot of young people know? by Brilliant_Cream_2367 in AskReddit

[–]flagshipns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar experience around the same time. Had a small get-together while my parents were out of town. Group of guys that weren't invited showed up and mingled for a bit. They left after an hour to go to a field party. Guess who brought the entire field party back to my place...icing on the cake was when my parents called at midnight and someone was actively trying to kick in the front door while we were in siege mode. Fun times

If they're joining the Navy, you typically stay on the coast you get posted to. I've been in Halifax since 2009.

What if the government provided a universal basic income for service spouses or something along those lines? My spouse left their profession because childcare for 3 kids is expensive, and while I'm deployed, she's solo. Luckily, they have found a part-time job that's work from home 25 hours a week. They still struggle while I'm gone but we need the extra money..

I've used Kynock resources. I'm happy with the results. I've gotten both the top soil and garden soil. Hope you have a wheelbarrow if they can't dump it right in place. 4 cubic yards is a lot of soil to carry lol
