I think the are referring to the policy of medically released personnel being eligible for voc rehab the last six months before their release to set them up for civilian life. It does make sense from a unit perspective, as it could allow them to have a member posted in to replace them, or...

I drove by my local post office 3 or 4 times yesterday while I was out doing errands. While understand that they are probably not happy to be on the picket lines again, their picketing consisted of sitting in the shade of the trees on their lawn chairs, drinking their timmies and talking to each...

Livestock culls by CFIA happen all the time. When it was turkeys and ducks a few years ago, why was no one coming out to support those farmers. Or when they cull farmed deer herds because they have come in contact with a sick wild deer. The issue is that people see these big birds as pets now...

While the OP hasn't provided any details, there is a scenario where the member may have burned all their leave already no through their own fault, and not necessarily their immediate supervisors fault. The member could have been on parental leave since 1 Apr until end June, and only had enough...

Pinochet used the same logic I bet.

Even years ago when I had a subordinate lose a spouse and left with 3 preschool kids to look after, we drafted all the documentation for the member that had to go forward for MND approval for an additional 30 days. For them, it was seamless.

Its funny how everyone defaults to the CCG and the RCN being the two organizations most closely linked, and subject to the largest headbutting. I foresee the bigger issues, and potentially greater opportunities to cooperate, being between the RCAF, CJOC, CANSOF, and CFINTCOM. The CCG is...

I watched the video, hoping there might be more information on the version of the pistol (was an it older model with the known issues). It looks like the pistol discharged as she was taking her backpack off, as it appeared to catch on the holster as it was dropping off her shoulder. As well, the...

The CAF, and the RCAF in particular, need to accept that CAF FF are really just an expensive, but necessary, insurance policy. I have had FF work for me on two different Wings, and in Alert. What they can provide in an emergency is a critical requirement. There is no argument there. They are a...

The RCAF will soon start to experience the real problem with its current and future fleets when it comes to obsolescence. The old Hercs were mostly mechanical, and we trained great techs who could fix them when they broke. The Js, the '17s, the '49s, and everything new we bring in from here on...

If you can't find an original, this site may have the print file to have one 3d printed. https://www.yeggi.com/q/air+mattress+plug/

If LDA goes the route where only days spent in the field get counted, I would implement it this way: Figure out what the average time spent in the field is and divide that into the highest level of monthly LDA to give you a new daily rate. Every day that is spent where the mbr is in the field...

The difference being they weren't going anything illegal. Maybe unethical, but not illegal.

You are all fooling yourselves if you don't think similar things are not happening here. How many missing First Nations women have disappeared and then been trafficked in the sex trade, with police departments just labelling them as runaways? How many TFWs are brought in to Canada, to be...

RCAF guy here. Stupid question: Can we not do an Army of the East vs. and Army of the West Capture the flag style exercise? Does the OPFOR need to be a scripted activity vs. real time action/reaction?
