Time in the military gives a guy a more global perspective and the flexibility to move beyond Ontario and Quebec although you don't need an electrical background to do high angle construction.  But then again what do I know...I'm just an ignorant blowhard (have you been talking to my wife?)...

Really?  You "know SOME good and smart Linemen"; which means what?  Are the rest morons?  Thank-you for your informed opinion.  I know guys who went to Fort Mac "just pulling cable" for 160K;  I myself got offered a job for 60K 2 weeks ago as an installation foreman at a small tech company in...

Does it hurt?  I mean seriously, having your head that far up your ass has got to be painful.

Believe what you will, but I'm more inclined to think there are two sides to every story and that the photog wasn't entirely innocent although I'd be loathe to challenge his patriotism.

The fact that he (the photographer) initiated a voice recording prior to any interaction with personnel makes me think he knew damn well what was going on in the area (most likely through a PAFFO release especially if he is "freelance" media) and showed up with the intent to force an...

I really should know better than to respond and continue to derail this any further with your constant need to dwell on the trivial, however you need to do me a favor and go look up what the word "context" means and then go back and reread the last bit of the thread and realize you were not the...

That  pretty much ended with the dawn of proper quarterly business planning (BP).  The end year buys are usually things on the wish list that were chopped from the BP at the beginning of the year as "Mission Enhancing" vice "Mission Critical".  These buys come online because the procurement...

Jesus Mary and Joseph Son!  You brought it up, others commented, I provided context.  That's it.  Peace brother...I'm out.

I echo that; *sigh*.  We are obviously in different places on this.  We can obviously both agree that MES is a mess, but I'm past it and in the "making it work" phase.  You can take my advice or leave it, doesn't bother me one bit.  One thing for certain is that I've seen a lot of change in my...

...my timelines for CM engagement may be little off and they may start speaking with folks earlier than Jan, however you get the gist.

I'm not tracking exactly what words and emotions you put between the lines I wrote, however it was a comment in general as the conv had steered towards careers (as an organization) with MES in the periphery.  And of course it was similar from what you'd get from higher because it makes sense.  I...

Nope.  Just commenting in general. You can talk to your CM anytime you want, anytime of year.  You just need to ask and your supervisor will set up a teleconv.  They also have these magical devices called pencils i.e. they can write sh*t down. Kind of goes hand in hand with a conversation on...

These folks are busy.  There are 3 of them for approx 4K pers.  The forcasts have been terrible in the last 2 years (read 0 promos) only to have 6 or more CWOs release (SURPRISE!!) and a mad scramble to find enough people to fill holes (and MES has been like a hole making machine) and everybody...

In my case it's hard to miss what you never had, but I feel for the folks that took a pay deduction (yes I did say deduction) with promotion due to the freeze.

No one is keeping anything from anyone. Spec pay for the occupations is in review.  It is still at DPPD subject to TB and CDS approval.  That is all the info we have.  The Branch has no more power to affect the decisions or timelines of the review then you or I do (they just don't know). Until...

You are incorrect.  Members of the CAF are subject to DND Safety Policy and the DND Safety Standards which includes the Labour Code specifically as part of its doctrine.  The only caveat is that Commanders can deviate from code when they have good reason (an exchange of bullets for instance).  A...

GPS City has them for $169.95; that's a savings of a whole 4 cents!! Your welcome.

I don't know if this is an upgrade issue or not but when I try to access the site from Chrome (my primary browser) I get the following: An Error Has Occurred! Sorry Guest, you are banned from using this forum! You are connecting to Army.ca from a banned location or using a banned service. If...

1 Apr - 1 May was the the review period for DPPD to be able to make a recommendation.  Whatever that recommendation is (if they didn't delay the review again) still has to go to TB.  Wait and shoot!

140 days domestically without a waiver from the CO and often more depending on operational requirements.  My personal record was in the neighborhood of 280 days with a mix of domestic and international deployments. Depends on where you are seeking employment.  Not so much of a demand as there...
