    I am a CAF member & I want better pay and benefits (a merged thread)

    But then, by your own statement above, you[/i altered the equation/changed the situation when you applied for a PS job.  The CF didnt do this to you.  You saw what I can only assume was a better opportunity/greener pasture and you acted.  Fair enough.  Smart move (no pun intended). Well done...

    Top Menu Bar on DWAN - quirks mode

    No idea what the OP means but I thank him/her for raising the issue because yes, I too am having problems with the menu bar as I try to access it from sea.  My menu options are listed top to bottom vice horizontally and I can't hover or even click them to generate the sub menus.  The "so what"...

    I am a CAF member & I want better pay and benefits (a merged thread)

    WeatherDog, I get your point as well.  I was afraid it might have come across that way, and debated posting that.  Since I wondered about it in the first place, I likely shouldn't have, since you are all reading my words and not hearing me speak.  Everyone has different experiences - my career...

    I am a CAF member & I want better pay and benefits (a merged thread)

    Not sure what any of this has to do with the parking rates, but since we are comparing our jobs to our civlian equivilants, lets look at what I did lately:  two weeks ago I had a massive Cormorant helicopter hovering about 15 feet over my head while a couple of SAR techs sorta fastroped onto the...

    Paid parking DND property

    I don't.  2004 when I was the adminO at a unit in Toronto, I was told I could no longer offer free parking to my unit's neighbours on occasion, as I was doing, because it was a violation Of the Real Property Act.  First time I had heard of 'fair market value' an all that.  I have no idea it that...

    Sailor Derek de Jong and Other Ship Misconducts?

    Incorrect.  The ship was recalled well before the media got a hold off this.  I knew about this last Friday morning - ADT.  When did you see/read the first report in the media? The ship was recalled by the Commander of the RCN.  The media received their initial info from the NAVGEN and the...

    Sailor Derek de Jong and Other Ship Misconducts?

    Max bunking capability is 47. That includes the upper bunk In the Captain's cabin which is reserved for senior officers.  It also includes the accommodations pod (6 bunks) which was likely filled as well.  The REMAR (core crew absolutely required to operate the ship) is 31.  The additional 15...

    Coveralls while at sea

    Exactly.  I just mustered my Rescue Swimmers to confirm what I already knew: they simply put the dry suit on over the NCDs.  So, I too would ask the same question as Stacked, with a similar amount of indignation (which was also apparently shared by the OP's clothing stores rep): why on earth...

    Am I too old, fat, or fit in? 2001 to 2016

    That would directly contradict the literal definition of the word "compulsory".  If they, or anyone could waive it, it would simply be known as the "Retirement Age"

    Creating a canteen

    Thread hijack:  what PSP-related grief surrounds Falls lake?  I am hoping to take my ship's coy up there in June.  Any idea what issues I need to be prepared for? Cheers

    Redress of Grievance – Mega thread [MERGED]

    I hear and sympathize with everything you are saying.  Just want you to keep that separate from your formal submission to get this resolved.  Since you are already getting a cold shoulder, just stick to the proven facts in your submission to ensure it reads as objective vice subjective.  Don't...

    Redress of Grievance – Mega thread [MERGED]

    Also, you should stop comparing previous years' scores to this year's score.  That won't help your case, since each year is evaluated in isolation, as has already been pointed out in this thread. And I would suggest that you also do not keep bringing up your (perceived) bias against your...

    Walts, posers & wannabes (merged)

    That guy is, from what I recall, an air cadet.  The Cpl Bloggins FB page outed him a couple of weeks ago.  He had, in his FB pics, been wearing a campaign star.

    The merged BIEBER thread; for those who feel the need to talk about him.

    Well, with all the budget cuts, I am short on fenders.  A 'screaming fender' as we call them, can be as effective as pneumatic ones.  He is young.  His bones are strong, lots of fleshy parts...he would do just fine.
