    End Dec 2017 pay statement

    finally received my statement via an attachment in email from DMPAP !  I am surprised it took this long, and was so difficult.  Of note, the statement still is not on m EMAA.

    End Dec 2017 pay statement

    my clerk logged a trouble ticket with DMPAP.  Few days later, pay office replies that issue was fixed and for me to check EMAA.  EMAA checked, and still no end dec pay statement.  Clerk contacts DMPAP, gets told to have me check EMAA again.  I checked EMAA, and still no statement  ( yes, I...

    End Dec 2017 pay statement

    Not on EMAA either.  Its the first time in 20 years I didn't receive a statement.  Odd considering its one of the few that I need to verify myself. At issue is,  I was frozen at Sgt ( spec 1 IPC 4 ) pay even though I was a WO in 2014.  In Jan 2017, they moved me to WO ( standard IPC 4 ) and...

    End Dec 2017 pay statement

    I never received my end dec 17 pay statement, and yesterday my mid Jan 18 pay statement was released. Interestingly, my end dec pay included a large backpay ( from a few years of not receiving specialist pay I was entitled to) . The backpay was a little short from my calculations ( which...

    I would take a cautious approach to the statement that we don't need a 6 month POET to train a technician. Let me offer this.  POET taught a methodology of troubleshooting that can be ( and goes get) applied to every aspect of  maintenance/diagnosis/repair. This is distinctly lacking from MES...

    coa 1.  Get rid of CISTM - ACISS core plus 3 sub ocs including MWO coa 2.  Dismantle ACISS structure and create 4 seperate occupations up to CWO ( no CISTM) coa 3 - Dismantile ACISS and 3 occupations up to CWO ( no CISTM) 2 of the COAs kill the current " train everyone to be operators"...

    Once again, lets make former LCIS techs wait some more while someone tries to figure out how to implement a CDS directive. Whats another year between friends ! And, lets come up with a great new idea to mash Infomation Systems Techs and Communication Systems Techs into a new sub occupation. ...

    NO WE DIDN'T Even that has been a total screw up.  The order that the CDS signed was riddled with mistakes and misinformation.  ( whomever drafted that order was clearly not properly informed ) Therefore, some that were not affected by the " freeze" in 2011 received a 20k payment. ( apparently...

    "Sgt"  Art, the Walt, Leonard. I wonder why a guy who wants to pretend he lad a long and decorated career only actually spent 4-5 years in the CAF.  I guess pretending is way easier than doing.  But man, he takes pretending to a whole new level.  Even purchased mess kit !

    There were a few guys who chimed in that this Walt was posted to Chatham NB in the 80s and was released as a Pte. So, there is zero truth to his story other than graduating basic training. Also, for a good laugh check this picture out.  I find it CRAZY no one at the MP school picked up on this...

    "Sgt" Art Leonard. This is blowing up on the facebook group Stolen Valour Canada. His "story" is just incredible. http://www.ipacanadaregion2.com/Roundup%20March%202016.pdf This guy is the king of Canadian posers.  Barrie police held fundraisers to get this wanker a PTSD service dog.  He...

    If there was a course loading message ( or a deferral message ) for the deployed guy in 2011 who missed his 5s, and thus never received spec pay,  there may be some good news. There are a couple guys who redressed this and were granted spec pay with a very hefty cheque.  The caveat is, they...

    Well folks, It only took 5+ years, but the end is near ! ** Sent on behalf of Col Sullivan ** CDS Order 050/16 directs that the decision to assign ACISS in its entirety to the Standard Pay Group be rescinded and former LCIS Tech is to be allocated to the Spec 1 Pay Group.  As this is a...
