    Pay: Statements, Backpay, Benefits, Deductions (Taxes, T4), Deployed ect... [MERGED]

    Never mind the fact that if you're joining up for the pay, you are RTF out of 'er. We would be better off without those who care about the paycheque.  Perhaps if you truly want to serve your country, take note of the above reply, and give your head a shake.  Maybe you're just curious about pay...

    Canada asks for Chinook design changes; military expert worry about delay

    Boeing financing itself more C-17s for USAF

    With that I would not disagree... We needed the Chinooks over in Afstan 2 years ago, not just issuing RFP's again now... but perhaps someone in the know such as Globesmasher could shed some light on whether we are already stretched thin with the 4 we have (when all are operational)
