If you don't like it get out.....Whiners....Entitled......... Enough of that talk. I dread the idea of of the people who throw those comments around so freely having subordinates, or worse, perceiving themselves as mentors. Yes, there has been a severe change in the delivery of benefits and...

Why is it that the most common question is "is there math?!!" I belive the PIP and math portion that many of us had to do has been modified or cut from the course, but I can't promise that. BUT, if you are looking at joining the trade, a workable knowledge in mathematics is a good asset. Good...

Sounds like a case of reality not being like it is in the movies. You have the right to form your opinions about the CF, right or wrong, and you are correct, there are some truly disappointing and self serving leaders in all elements of the CF, but with that said, it's on the member to conform...

    4Feathers, I couldn't agree more.

  I've seen several cynical comments written here about IR and the benefits involved. IR is not a gravy train as it was referred to. It is a benefit to offset additional burdens to a family during a geographic separation. There are hundreds+ CF members on IR due to the fact that their families...

The CH 148 is stictly a vehicle. It's sole purpose  is to carry the sensors to be employed; Radar, Sonar, EO/IR, etc. We know what we need and have for sensors for today's and tomorrow's missions, but the vehicle itself may prove to be another ball of yarn.

Thanks, but I know what the percentages and monthly payments are. What I'm not completely sure of is if that pension can be settled as a lump or partial sum or if it fixed as monthly payments only.

  Looking for help with some VAC questions. I've been on their web site and I'm having trouble obtaining some info. I'm being awarded a monthly pension under the old system. The question I have is can that amount be paid out in part or full, paid over a fixed term or paid at the specifeied rate...

  Much thanks.

    The releases in malcontent can't surprise anybody. The CF preaches "taking care of our own" and "taking care of our families". The documents and ideology is there but more and more I see those values being ignored.

  Thanks DAA for the info regarding possible changes.

  Yes there is more, but that's where pricvacy comes in. The facts are as they are.

  The orders and directives are there and supportive, and throw the CF's commitment to families on the plate as well.  The problem is conjecture and CF members trying to be lawyers.

    A married service couple are having extremely personal difficulties at a time when one member is posted. They did not divorce or seperate. They had extremely private circumstances to deal with. They reconcile their differences while one member is posted away with the children and HG&E. Why...

  I've recently been awarded 5/5 for an injury sustained on tour in 1999. It was a pretty bad abdominal hernia and required surgery and hasn't healed properly. I've met with the VAC Doctor and my % decision should be sent to me NLT 24th July. Is anybody able to brief me on what I should expect...
