I spent some time in the dress manual 2017 version and it doesn't mention shaving within a 24 hour period. Where is that regulation? I could have swore I saw a paragraph stating you had to be clean shaven every day. Wasn't in chapter 17 of the QR&O either.

Was just paraphrasing not picking the part I like. BGRS says the following: Benefits for  unaccompanied  moves are generally  the same as those contained in Parts  1  and 2, except  for  these  entitlements, which have  limitations  or enhancements: •  Returning from  Operations  –  Posted to...

I would say this is the more fair solution for both tax payers and posted public service members. That was outside my box of thought.

actual and reasonable basic internet, basic cable and cellular or land-line telephone connection expenses. What does that mean, it doesn't seem clear to me. Does that mean seperation expense 1. only covers the connection expenses for cable, internet, cell or land line; or 2. Covers monthly...

Got it. SME here says only connection charges are covered. Connection charges are covered on a move so I am not sure how that is an additional expense. I did not talk to the clerk in Halifax my mistake for sure. I guess I am looking for consistency, what are other bases doing? Hoping someone on...

I am on IR now and am wondering about separation expense. I understood they removed a lot of the benefits like food and daily rate separation because it was against TB policy. Food was because you are not paying to feed yourself at home while away so why get the benefit. I can buy that argument...

I felt it was early in the fiscal year as well and then I thought to myself I wonder how we plan on paying the new education benefits available to pers who leave the military after 6 years.... Hopefully it sorts itself out in the next two months

That is less worrisome than I thought.

Any ideas why ILPs are not being funded? Funding for new ILPs is currently unavailable. Ill & Injured and CEOTP ILPs will still be approved. Please continue to submit your ILP, it will be placed in the queue and once new funding becomes available, we will advise.

There are definite hurdles added and every system has its pitfalls. The load master should have used the online forum or mail to renew. I know for Utah I could do that for my wife's licence and vehicle and because she wasn't living in Utah she was exempt the safety and emissions test while I was...

I will have to read the DOAD on development periods again with a focus on commissioned members then look at some trade specs. When my secondary duty was the training officer I started to read up on the distance learning course I was loading Army and Air Force captains on. (CAFJOD? There are 4...

I think CFAO 49-5 or 6 would play into the decision process as inefficiency plays a part as well as what you have; refusing a course that is required for the rank putting you A/L.  I generally find the dinosaurs are the CPO1/2 and the CWO/MWO. I always disliked regs like this one as the...

(2) The substantive rank of a non-commissioned member is that rank below which the member cannot be reduced otherwise than by:       a.  a sentence of a service tribunal; or       b.  reversion for inefficiency or misconduct. (See articles 11.10 - Reversion and Remustering for Inefficiency and...

US forces keep residency where they enrol or where they are posted. Residency determines your tax rate and where you get your drivers licence and plates. If you buy a new car you are stuck with that states plates though. So if you are from New York and you are posted to Texas, Florida or a third...

You should look in the QR&Os for what a substantive rank is. For Officers it is the rank they hold (and are qualified). For NCMs it is the rank in which you can be demoted to from a charge or words of that affect. This may be playing into the appointment aspect of MCpl.

I had a member who was having a baby and was not planning on taking any parental leave as his wife had full benefits at her work. He put in for 2 short and 5 annual he had saved for this occasion because he didn't want his wife alone after a C section. Knowing how busy you can get with a new...

All, Seems the best COA will be to look at daily blue fleet. I will go down that road provided I am not removed for not using POMV. I feel 400km a month with an average WO trip being around 5km or less each time to justify a car for the position, I due respect that I really don't have any...

Puck Chaser, The 645 I submitted was for 30 days and the WO flat out said he very highly doubts the CoC will be providing FIN coding for a rental in this case. Can you provide a guesstimate as to how much of an advantage renting fit 2-3 days a week is cost affective over a 1 month rental?  I'm...

George, You're correct, the job requires 4 inspections a week for grass cutting/snow removal in the winter. Site visits when work orders are raised etc. All locations are on base in Halifax but Halifax is split into many different locations including shearwater and outlying areas up to 100km...

First post so I apologise if I missed a thread on this in my search. For the last two years I have been posted into a unit fulfilling a supervisory role. Recently my CoC had to react to a development which meant reorging some personell and I happened to be one of the lucky four. I was told on...
