Being a female in the Navy for 29+ years, I think things are going way to far on the crazy. The Navy has fought for a while to return to the traditional ranks (executive curls) and was planning to return to the old junior ranks badges. Next rank that will have to be changed is the Army rank of...

Slowly but surely, the building is coming down. This is about a week and half later than the first picture I took.

Back in October 2018 the Stad gym was closed permanently due to too much damage to the roof to repair. Last month, the construction gates were placed around the building and deconstruction inside the building began. After work this afternoon, this is what I saw as I based the gym; deconstruction...

Situation: I have a Cpl who transferred from the PRes to Reg Force. They are BMQ and QL3 RMS qualified. They are on a VIE for 3 years and does not have any obligatory requirement. They are in the second year of the VIE. The CM has informed the member they cannot release; that the trade was "red"...

We know the effective date of the OT. I am trying to confirm that you are not suppose to wear the old element uniform after the effective date. I am sure it is in the Reg that you are not allowed to wear the new uniform until the effective date and not allowed to wear the old element uniform...

Good morning,         I am trying to find the rules or regulations regarding the wearing of the Uniform, specifically in regards to a VOT to another Element. It is my understanding, prior to the effective date of the VOT, you cannot wear the new element uniform and once the effective date has...

Well that is one way of avoiding parking fees. But berthing fees might be more expensive.

If a member of the Regular Forces decides to proceed with approved Continued Education via online services, could the individual do the education at their desk during the work day, knowing they can only do so after their normal duties/job work has been completed.

I am very disappointed with other service personal putting down those who have not serviced overseas.  We have all signed on the dotted line, willing to give our lives for our country.  Unfortunately, not everyone is required to go over.  Just because in my 20 year career, I have not completed a...

Someone should be careful what they wish for, Kratz is in there like a dirty old (was going to say sock) fur hat.

I know the joke on the east coast is that HMCS Preserver rarely ever leaves the wall.  Well I actually have proof of her sailing in the Bedford Basin.  I came home after work and was extremely shocked  :o to see her in the basin and under her own power.

This thread sounds like I should be posting: ArmyVern - I'll bring the chaps if you bring the French Maid uniform kratz - You had better look good in a kilt ;)  ;)

I was really happy to see the posting by Aerobicrunner and got my hopes up but after a lunch time chat with the CC,  I am actually being transferred to the Unit's establishment and that is why the CO has "ordered" the change of uniform.  I might have had a chance if I had been put on LFAA's PRL...

I honestly don't think I am whining.  I thought it was a legitmate question, open for debate and perhaps to get some better insight then "just wear the army uniform because I say so".  Yes the job is more important then the Uniform because I like working with the CF and enjoy facing new...

There is no guarantee that the contract will be extended past the two year mark (31 Mar 13).  The Unit may choose to not fill the position again, they may want to hire someone else, I don't know what will happen in two years time.  If the Unit wishes to continue to employ me as a Class B clerk...
