Hmmm....maybe I should have submitted a grievance that I wasn't deployed on Op Libeccio because I was posted to a new unit, and requested compensation for that! You'd have to prove that you were removed from the Vancouver operation due to the T-Cat, that the T-Cat imposed was erroneous and due...

Wars increase government spending, which will increase real GDP.  The increase in GDP increases disposable income, which will further increase GDP growth.  Works pretty well for the victors, especially when the war is fought on foreign soil, but only if you're using domestic equipment.  The...

Ok...so you submitted the grievance outside of the six month period then?  That's my guess at this point.  By the terms of the grievance process you were no longer entitled to submit it for review within that mechanism.  It sounds like you didn't like the fact that your grievance was dismissed...

I don't see DC!  I see Virginia and Maryland, but no DC...are you going with the "most cursing" from Maryland or "most hate crimes against the disabled" from Virginia?  Gotta ask, Arlington and DC are pretty much the same metro area... Edit: But I definitely agree with you on the Vermont stat...

The Canadian government should just do what the Koreans did and specify a maximum RCS in the NGFS requirements! Problem fixed!  ;D

NDA 29.15: " A decision of a final authority in the grievance process is final and binding and, except for judicial review under the Federal Courts Act, is not subject to appeal or to review by any court." Sorry, I gave the wrong ref!  What EITS said...

What are you basing this advice on?  We have no details whatsoever on what actually happened here.  I know there are allowances made in the NDA for judicial review after a decision has been rendered by the CDS.  By the sounds of it, the OP didn't like what the initial or final authorities had to...

No...it was listening, but took too long.  Fortunately, the Allies swept through the land and shut it down before it heard a Who.

It was never made, it it was definitely way before its time... The Horten Ho 229

I wasn't trying to get too much in depth as to why the Japanese society is the way it is, but you've definitely hit the nail on the head.  My point was just to show that a correlation could be made between their culture and the number of inmates.  Selfish motivations such as greed can lead...

By my math, with an approximate U.S. population of 350 million, there are 2.6 million inmates.  Your second statistic shows a total of ~100,000 federal inmates due to drug charges, that's hardly a "very large portion". You are tying inmate population to government coercion in the United States...

I was referring more to the comment of how quick it was to get in during Afghanistan c. 2007, and not so much the last two or three years.  The economy has really fallen off since then, and I was under the impression that intake has as well. I was of the understanding that applications were...

Physical fitness is no longer assessed at the recruiter level, as it was deemed that too many otherwise strong applicants were discarded due to their lack of fitness.  Someone had the bright idea that the CAF could indoctrinate fitness into their lives at the taxpayer's expense.  I do not agree...

Yes, you'll be fine with either.

Applicants, and the public in general, need to keep a few things in mind when talking about the recruiting process: 1) The economy is weak, while the CAF is simultaneously slowing recruiting.  This means more applications for fewer positions, meaning it will take longer to get in. 2) You are...

It really depends on the trade.  Not all trades that are "In Demand" are at the same level.  Also, just because it's listed as "In Demand" this week, it doesn't mean it'll be that way next week.  It could also already have a lot of strong applicants, and a plethora of other factors. Don't pick...

kolkim, It is EXTREMELY difficult to get into Pilot, especially when you are already an NCM.  Current intake for pilots in a year is over 100 per year, but the majority of that is DEO at the moment.  The spots for UTPNCM are very, very limited, if at all; when I was selected there were two, and...

Sorry, but I currently don't have access to the actual numbers, but IIRC they were about 120-130 per year across all intake plans. I can tell you that the pilot occupation has been short for quite a few years, but they aren't increasing recruiting substantially because the training pipeline...

What leads you to believe that they are hiring more pilots this year than in the past? It is not unusual at all for the CFASC to be running selection serials nearly every week of the year.  In fact, it is normal for them to be running selections for ~40 weeks out of the year.  Assuming that the...

I received my posting message on 30 May. They're doing married members with a cost move first and working down the list from there.
