I've got guys who received backpay they were not entitled to.  Guys who were entitled getting too much or too little backpay. Some that were entitled getting nothing and best yet, a couple guys pay actually going down ! We were briefed two months ago to tell pers who received backpay not to...

Maybe we should have one trade that operates the equipment. Call them, operators of signals equipment. Another trade that does structured wiring, or line. Call it, wire /line people.  And maybe a third trade that fixes stuff and does networks. Like communication and information systems for the...

Nice try. Not a single line in your post is based on fact. Multicam was chosen after user trials.  An open and competitive procurement was initiated for a vendor to produce MC uniforms with specific design characteristics based on user requirements and feedback.

agree 100% :pop:

He was past our CRA 55 when he was brought back.  The loophole being he was enrolled as a CIC officer ( at age 57) , and their CRA was 60 at the time. A few CIC officers I know bring up the fact that it is entirely possible ( and has been done ) for a CIC officer to command the CAF, so we...

The entire MOS was "temporarily " assigned the standard pay group in Oct 2011, until a pay review could be completed.  We are still waiting for that pay review to happen.  ( insert music from " Benny Hill" )

A pay-raise for a promotion ?  Whats that ? As a long suffering former LCIS tech, we have been " frozen" since Oct 2011.  Some lucky Sgts in our trade are still being paid as a Cpl incentive 4 ( w/spec pay ) Promoted twice, no pay raise. but, I Digress.

thanks for posting the letter. My intent above was to say the "delay" wasn't with the release of the letter, it was the review of the pay. This has been a long and very frustrating road, with every update giving hope a solution is within reach. It reminds me of the long range forecast.  13...

There is a new letter coming out very soon. But from what the ASP course at CFSCE was briefed, there has been an unforeseen delay, and we shall wait some more.

Well,  I guess we will all "watch and shoot" .  I'm not holding my breath, but I will give your man the benefit of the doubt.  Getting promoted twice with zero pay raise and 10x the headache takes it tole on the best of us. I listened to a video from the CFCWO who talked about the decade of...

I have followed this case with a fair bit of interest. I hope justice will be done in the end with a lengthy jail sentence.  I pray Melissa's family and friends can find peace.

4 years and counting for a pay review. But good news ! We have a new march past, Spurs and maybe a blue beret. Bravo. Great work.

The "army" was taken out of cadets years ago.  Who is going to teach the cadets about the "army" ?  The CIC ?  That organization lost the "army" when the BMI of a large percentage of the CIC tipped into the 40s.

the advice you are most likely to get here is  to focus on finishing high school . Of course you can have goals, but the realistic chances are much lower for SOF than for the conventional CF.
