    Releasing and VAC Benfits

    It all depends on individual cases. Some are done relatively quick so wouldn't count on 2 years.

    DEC and Taxes

    I have the DTC and the paperwork looks worse than it is. as most of it is completed by the doctor. Mine was approved based on the accumulation of factors. CRA even adjusted back a couple years based on the doctor input of start date. It is good for a few years then have to reapply even...

    VAC wait times

    100% and still able to serve for a few years. Excellent for the work part. Not at that level as everything individually is small percent at the moment but accumulated gets me a disabled label and immediate release despite volunteering to stay around to help while the trade tries to recover...

    Army Reserve Restructuring

    Can't agree with this. Fin and HRA in 3 years will not have the training or skills to be qualified for a diploma. 1 year training in military, 2 years working in the office doing military admin/fin. Do a PLAR and probably have about 4 courses needed at the college to complete. Reserves have...

    What have the Brits ever done for us?

    Everyone needs a little cruelty in their life, builds character plus it teaches them that just because they have a problem doesn't mean everyone has to suffer. Unfortunately my wife doesn't agree so our kids get spoiled. 😁

    Army Reserve Restructuring

    Maybe it is time to stand at the Admin O or C HRA desk until they can show that it has been entered. Or you could do as a sgt I knew early in my career did and walk into the COs office loudly proclaiming "Sir, we have a problem that you need to fix". It worked and it was fixed.

    VAC wait times

    That is the process I was explained too. Was also told going that route expect to wait a year or more for final.

    VAC wait times

    Forgot - for the review of current claims I was contacted and told it could easily take 8 months. It might be because of the number of claims in my case.

    Updated Army Service Dress project

    Well for starters for 40 years I have used such things as AB and OS. Then there is that I have no idea of the french versions as I don't operate in french. I simply don't see the need to change it other than appease a few people that saw things in their own minds and cried over nothing. Not...

    Medical questionnaire confusion

    All the questionnaire I ever answer including last week were very precise in asking the questions in such a way that there was no room for "i thought I had high BP but was wrong". They do ask if you had various symptoms that the medical staff could then consider and analyze for possible follow...

    Medical questionnaire confusion

    I would use only things that have an actual diagnoses. No need to add "we thought I might have high BP but turned out I don't".

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    In general this use to be a gentleman with CE when I used to work there. Some of these contracting officers were very good while others were a little more slack. One of them when I worked at CE in Halifax was a beast at dealing with contractors and enforcing things. It wasn't uncommon for a...

    HRA Occupation

    Shhhh - that is a group that shall not be named. The chief at the school looked like he wanted me dead when I asked if our training was ever going to include CEP Tech material back around 2000. In their minds CEP Tech were just finance clerks and didn't require any special training. I...
