See, for example, this CBI that deals with determining the pay increment for re-enrollees:

The recruiting centre would have to send off for a PLAR, which is reviewed/obtained through CDA, so I'd look into the references related to PLARs and the authority of CDA to waive certain training requirements.

Have you already done Mod 1 (the distance learning package)? Mod 1 covers all of your theoretical stuff and book reading (regs, who can charge who, etc). The Army-wide PLQ is exactly that, so you won't be doing sigs-specific training any more than the course might rely on you for some advanced...

5 years is correct. You may have been able to get away with being out a bit longer than 5 if you could prove you've been employed in a field related to your military trade.

I'm curious why you believe this. Following the terrorist attacks in St Jean and Ottawa, the Legion refused to distribute poppies before the already-established lead-up to Remembrance Day. In my opinion, this was an opportunity for the Legion to demonstrate that it stood behind our veterans -...

I agree with this. If there's one thing Mike Blais has going for him, it's that he's technologically- and internet-savvy enough to be on all the major platforms and to communicate a compelling message that makes the media come to him. Maybe, then, one of the policies we as internal, Legion...

Very much needed. We have bored infantrymen and generally individuals at the Corporal level who are bored/unsatisfied in their current trades. In some cases, they're already working out-of-trade, but for some reason need to wait another few years to be CT'd/OT'd into their new trade and have...

Yep, completely silent...  ::)

The CT process is right here.

Sounds like the journalists cast a wide net into DND, likely for an overly broad ATIP on anything related to "negative Ceremonial Guard incidents." These certainly aren't the first times a drunk tourist has pissed on the Memorial or some idiots tried to grab a rifle or harass the Guards...

I meant nothing pejorative towards immigrants. I was simply pointing out that the Canadian-born population is not sustainable, thus requiring immigrants in order to maintain and slowly increase our population. I meant nothing negative by that in and of itself.

This is where conservatives and libertarians disagree. Canada has a naturally shrinking population that is only being maintained and slightly increased through intensive immigration quotas. We're replacing our dying Canadians with non-Canadians. The Government, in my opinion, does have a role to...

This should be clarified. There is the "news" part of the Huffington Post, where paid reporters report on the news. There is also the "blog" part of the Huffington Post, where unpaid, selected people can publish blogs with their opinions. Usually opinion bloggers are not allowed to cross into...

I'm curious if your party has done any research on what it would cost the federal treasury to implement a flat tax. I agree with it, but I also agree that it could be a huge hit to revenue sources (my guess is you'd have to find data on the amounts of personal income taxes collected, according...

Which has since been found out to be a complete fabrication. The actual voice mail message is now public and the Minister said no such thing about "cutting off" the CVA (although he should have).

It's game theory. The "average" Canadian voter is located at the centre of a Cartesian plane. The Libertarians are located at the bottom of that plane, somewhere on the left-right spectrum depending on their views on government intervention, free markets, social issues, etc. The only way you...

I agree with you that every person - military or non-military - should take part in their democracy by supporting and helping political parties. I've been through the ridiculous witch hunt process. They know that the only QR&O even remotely related to "political activities" is in chapter 19...

Philosophically, I'm all for decentralizing as much of the federal government as possible, including abolishing Health Canada/PHAC, except for a very small contingent that would provide an advisory/coordinating role between all the provinces and the federal government. Practically, it would...

I'd like you to bring this up with the bureaucrats at Chief Review Services and see what they think of your interpretation. Believe me: I know the rules, but I also know that there are certain people who are just itching to throw the book at any conservative or libertarian they can. Well the...

This I would agree with. Veterans Affairs doesn't serve its "customers/clients" until they've left the CAF. Put differently, their only clients are former CAF members (and some RCMP officers too). I would structure the unified department under one Minister. An Associate Minister would be in...
