How about CF members with families who made choices based on the information they were given at the time shouldn't be responsible for the poor planning of the CF.  We made the choice for him to join thinking his rations were all paid for and we would just deal with the stress of separation. ...

my favourite retired Col. had a similar thing.  they got on her for all the calls she made from her home to her bb.  She kept forgetting the bb, calling her son, asking her son to find it and bring it out and she grabbed it from him.  he was a teenager, and just called it from the home phone...

Ram Singh just needs to stop breathing.  I worked for Brookfield for two years.  I did RCMP and Gov't Employee moves.  There is a bias.  I loved my RCMP members but some of them got seriously screwed due to operational requirements.  And the gov't employees got their hands held and their heads...

Wow.  Just.  Wow.

I think they're also doing the creative instructions for those underwent an OT.

Several ladies on the Military Spouses board on facebook have been saying their husbands are being posted, so even with no Canforgen, the plan for guys to be posted and then put on TD for their 3s is proceeding as normal. Now if only they'd fix it for the MSCs.

My bosses wife was in today.  She knows me quite well, her son is marrying my best friend.  She has met my husband.  She saw me come into work in tears the day he left for more training in borden.  She knows he is a soldier and away and I'm all on my own. Me: Bet its nice to have a few days of...

Lawyers fees and penalties aren't covered anymore because we live in a world of portable mortgages.  if you are in the CF, you should know better than to sign a non-portable mortgage.  There are issues with this cause people have unexpected problems(banks refusing to blend and port the mortgage...

I feel for you.  This canforgen was meant to address the people abusing the IR system, and its really just screwing over those who don't.  And it seems that the push is to fix if for folks like my husband, on BTL, vs you, who've given your all and already made huge sacrifices.  Which isn't fair...

Well the thing is the guys living in the shacks with no family, their stuff is being held in storage, at the gov'ts expense so the gov't is paying for their lodgings, but not paying twice As for food, well the guys with a family back home are already buying groceries and they could be fed at...

We are not RC, we are protestants, and we are new to the area so we don't have a home church.  My old pastor did weddings with super short notice, and thats fine.  Especially when you had a couple new to the area who just wanted someone to say 'Do you?  Do you?  You're done" I'm just frustrated...

I am not.  I was specifying those who are abusing IR.  There are people on it for perfectly valid reasons.  My friends husband went IR as she has 3 surgeries scheduled in the next year and it's just not possible to pick up and move.  He went IR a few years back for 6 months or so so his son...

So my fiance and I have been together for 7 years, engaged for 6, and he finally agreed that we just need to get married, that we're happy with each other and we don't care who is there.  So we decided to get married while he's on leave.  That gave us just under 3 weeks to pull everything...

I am just more and more angry because its seriously been a bait and switch for us.  When he joined, we were told he wouldn't have to pay r&q for his training because he's got me at home.  Suddenly halfway through he does?  Maybe some people can afford the 583 a month reduction, we can't.  I will...

Aw man, I was rooting for you!  Ram Singh hates the word yes, unless it's for an executive.  I hope things go well for you
