It is legislative so needs parliament to change the rules. Sounds like good way for the government to continue their support to the CAF by making the changes. In a dream world the legislation would be changed so anyone that hits the gateways to access the money can do so regardless if they...

All good, I have the right contacts to ask for the ground truth anyway :)

Hmmm will follow up with the folks I know (OC and SNCOs/WOs that run CSS orgs) and the CA G4 maint team but in general those are not concerns that have heard before. Not saying they don't exist just anecdotal is not always evidence. In any case if there are issues, while I can't help much, am...

Besides the size I haven't heard too much about the SMP being disliked from RegF CSS side of the house. It is a pretty capable vehicle if huge AF

I can't find any thing in the SEM policy page likely because the issuance of promissory notes are under review. It does seem that as of 31 Jan 2025 anyone with releasing with oblig service needs to pay it all at once at release. I couldn't find any updated policy at all just the contents of an...

Meh SAP/DRMIS is world class. We have an older version but still used by umpteen thousands of companies. Our problem is more self induced. When we switched over to an erp system that is a whole ecosystem, we tried to recreate all our s***** prior systems that stood alone and the people doing...

Any material can have multiple manufacturer part numbers associated with it in our cataloguing system. More complex than that but the capability is there and is used.

Yea I saw the whole exchange. It is a nothing burger. Environment doesn't play an issue for LogO we largely stay within environment. Other RCLS trades maybe have different employment patterns but that is usually NCMS but that is a different conversation.

You are fiddling to nothing. No RCN Log O is working in the the CA less a few (mostly purplish) exceptions. There is larger issue of logistics folks being spread among environments but officers are largely exempt but CA LOgO are CA DEU

They have moved back to trg in Borden.

There is no posting allowance associated with a IPR move or local move https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/corporate/policies-standards/compensation-benefits-instructions/chapter-208-relocation-benefits.html#sec-208-849 208.992(5) (No Entitlement) There is no entitlement to...

They do, I am merely commenting on the subject of dress overall.

Indeed, which is why like @markppcli I giggle when someone tries to tell me I got my honour back when we roll back to some 1960s dress thing despite generations of serving folks wearing post unification uniforms. Nothing screams unserious military more (IMHO) than focusing endlessly on a dress...

It is hard to adjust to having resources. Where I work we had to send out a wide ranging email saying spend spend spend. Even then we had to clarify we meant spend regardless of what flavour of money it needed as people were hesitant to spend what they didn't technically have.
