All kinds of good log stuff here: http://dgmssc.ottawa-hull.mil.ca/logbranch/handbook/index_e.asp

If you are on a restricted posting while on course, regardless of what course it may be, you will have to pay for rations and quarters (R&Q).  If you are posted to a unit and subsequently sent on a course on Temporary Duty (TD) status, then you will not pay for R&Q. Oh and in case it comes up...

Nicely said. EDIT:  I passed this text along to the commander of the orgainzation that is responsible for WFT.  I hope you don't mind.

Vern, I wish I could say "never" but that would be unrealistic.  It would be very rare that this would happen and could only occur under very specific circumstances.  The fact that is is a PO is no change from the past, so overall this policy is a huge improvement IMO.

I know that the SSM with bar was the original thought, but it was pushed forward by the Task Force COS among others that HALO met the criteria to have its own medal stricken. That sent the whole process back to square one, but I believe it was the right way to do it.  Over the last two years I...

OK troops, let's kill the rumour mill. Firstly, RFT stood for "Recruit Fitness Training" and was changed to "Warrior Fitness Training" to avoid the exact mistake that was made above (reference "remedial") as well as try to engender a sense that the students of that organization are training to...

I recently decided to see if anyone posted any OP HALO pictures on Facebook and found a group called OP HALO Recognition.  There was recent info (albeit second-hand) from a CMP staff officer regarding the medal.  No timeline of course, but info all the same. I also put a bug in the ear of...

I'm pretty sure you can find the Canadian "Army Electronic Library" from the internet, and not just the DND intranet (although I can't confirm that at the moment).  Just Google to your hearts content and you should be able to find everything that you're looking for.

You ended up with Petra AND Marc on the team???  Those two are incorrigible.

Wow, did this thread ever go to hell quickly.  To the original poster, I hope that the first page of posts answered your question... For the record, having worked on operations with a MAGTF organization and relied upon them for support, I was very impressed with their flexibility and combat...

This is all good to hear.  In addition to that, I grabbed this out of the Career Manager's briefing.  The proposed flow of DP 1 for Log (Land) is as fols: BOTP CAP D&M on common log vehs LOC-C With initial intro to fin mgt, procurement and contracting (Quartermaster's edit - current Ph III)...

I've heard rumours to the same effect, but have not seen anything official.  The last Occupational Analysis (OA) got us what we have today, which is officers who are promotable to Captain without any specialty training.  Obviously there needs to be a change.  As a matter of fact I wrote a...

This is what I was referring to in my first post.  I do find the ref quoted by MARS interesting though.  Particularly the mention of "...where the invitation or parade order indicates that they are appropriate." This might be the most pertinent ref to my question. 

If the name of the pub pops into mind, I'd appreciate the ref so I can get my hands on it.  It's always the least important point that takes up the most amount of time at O Gp.  ::) Thanks

Ironically, it has only ever been combined messes (Officer/Sr NCO) where I have seen this rule.  It never came up in Officer's messes.
