I couldn't find much relating to this specific situation, so I figured I'd give a shot and see if anyone here can shed an light on this. Regarding the IRP Directive section 8.2.13 Home Equity Assistance, I think there's a lot of people posted out of Gagetown this year who are in a tough spot for...

Thanks for all the help. When I heard it I thought it sounded odd, but the brief was given by a clerk and it dealt specifically with leave and how people misunderstand CF leave policy. It was just one of those things that I would need to see in black and white before I believed it, but I didn't...

Sorry Moderator, I meant to post this to Military Admin.

During a brief we received one day we were told that while on annual leave you are only allowed to drive a certain number of km's per day, and if you were to get into an accident and it was found you had exceeded the allowable limit certain benefits could be withheld. I know that while you are...

The only reason I asked is because a friend of mine INSISTS he went to OR and was told he should have recieved this mysterious...

I hate to break it to ya, trigger. But the din has me as a Pte(B).

We are all posted to regiment, QL5a (DP2) qualified. The story is: somehow a friend of mine heard that when you go from Pte(B) to Pte(T) you are supposed to get a pay raise. He went to the OR and asked about it, they told him he should've automatically gone from Pte(B) to Pte(T) at 30 months but...

I hate to break it to ya, but you need a security clearance for Combat Engineer too. And I know some people who had to wait a long time for theirs to come through.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I understand, when you hit 30 months you automatically go from Pte(B) to Pte(T). A friend of mine said you're supposed to get a pay raise when you get to Pte(T) and that since he didn't get his at 30 months he is getting retro pay back to his 30 month mark...

Do you know what regiment you will be posted to? That couild make a difference. If you're coming to CFB edmonton and looking for a PMQ it could take a while.
