    Logistic Officer questions

    EMC 32,33,34 is the best. If you have experience I recommend click through to the test and give it a try. If you don't have experience bunker down for a long mind-numbing session somewhere with no interruptions for 8 plus hours. But being a guinea pig on a pilot usually means you will pass...

    Questions About Commissioning from the ranks

    Thanks for letting us know and good luck with the start. I believe infanteer is a good pick. Best tip I can give you is to keep your butt down and avoid the pace stick (probably not a thing anymore but better safe than sorry).

    Manuge v Her Majesty the Queen (c Oct 30, 2019)

    Well I decided instead of me trying to weed through all the different information I would simply submit a claim and see what happens. Figure the worst case scenario is that I will get nothing which is what I would receive by not submitting so might as well submit and maybe get something. Most...

    Simon Logan v. Her Majesty The Queen

    So what I get out of this is that it is not for those receiving pain and suffering compensation.

    BMQ - PRes Full-time 32CBG (Toronto), Apr. 28 2024

    Sorry but I deal a lot with people that were given exactly that kind of misinformation and took it to heart so tend to be a bit picky on it so I can hopefully avoid the argument with the members later. I hate having to tell people it doesn't matter what MCpl/WO/Capt/Col Bloggins told them as it...

    CDS General Eyre announces retirement

    if they are actually best for the job and not just appointed due to politics then yes. The thing is none of that should be what the appointment is based on and is why everyone keeps running into issues. Instead of pushing the "female" part so much they should be pushing the qualification...

    BMQ - PRes Full-time 32CBG (Toronto), Apr. 28 2024

    The CAF does not pay gas if you drive, we pay a kilometre rate. As it is a reservist training at his local unit they may qualify for the RTAA if they live far enough away, can prove that there is no suitable public transport available and are on Class A service. If instead of training at...

    Grievance question

    Can't even count the number of times I have tried to get people to submit grievances only to hear the "but it takes too long" . So many don't because they feel there will not be a benefit to them. Guess what folks - even if you don't benefit maybe the people after you will. You know, the...

    CDS General Eyre announces retirement

    Wouldn't it be great if the next CDS was something unique such as actually the best for the job rather than based on politics?

    Cost of housing in Canada

    holy crap. I thought there was a limit on number of people you could have in a rental based on the bedrooms. I remember years ago we could not get a place that we looked at because our family was too large for it.

    Cost of housing in Canada

    I understand people being concerned for their property values when zoning changes and also the concept that they bought a place based on the zoning at the time planning to live there as their final place only to have the rules changed. More of my issue with all the governments is the rules put...

    Questions About Commissioning from the ranks

    Lots of good points here that are certainly worth listening too. Having worked with the PRes unit establishments I will mention that every unit does have several positions that could be used for new officers, the problem will be finding a unit that has an open one. last unit I was at all our...

    Pace Managers

    just for myself had transfer of members par to me, set an IR on one, change one to Opt out, PARX then back to PAR. I do like that the system now does it correctly for the PAR to be done before the boards as it was always supposed to be. Too many were doing the board and then dictating the...

    Sympathies. I am lucky in that I do not have to deal with the manager role.
