    Releasing to other employment inquiry

    That is all about timing and nothing to do with the process of release. The process will take time and I have seen the "time" vary greatly person to person. As cold as it sounds, it does not matter whether you have secured employment elsewhere for them to speed up the process. Good luck

    Sports in the CF, or rather lack thereof.

    Hmmm good point. For me personally I have always been concerned (meddled) with my peers and subordinates impression of PT. I have limited myself from changing the bigger picture, where now with little time left I wonder should I have. That said to implement cultural change of this nature has to...

    Sports in the CF, or rather lack thereof.

    I disagree. If you fix the mentality you will fix the MIR situation, at least in part. Our military can and does support that mentality at the (some) unit(s) level. While MIR commandos will always exist, having an aggressive no fail culture will reduce it. Either through the mentality change or...

    "What's wrong with that? I love duck and goose. Sorry, I couldn't resist... P.s.: it's foul" TimBit Hah! In my defence I only had one coffee when I wrote it. On second thought I may have wrote it wrong now as well :) On another note... How do you quote someone from another page ie page 1?

    Sports in the CF, or rather lack thereof.

    I think we are arguing two different points here. 1) Should MMA be taught for combat effectiveness. (General training for all) 2) Should MMA be allowed as a sport in the CF. (Specific training for those who want) I think (point 2) that MMA and many other sports should be allowed back into the...

    Did anyone else have difficulty with the link? Is the link dead? Or is it my computer?

    Undergrad degree in kinesiology

    This may be a little late information and only half applies to your question. When I looked into Kin for the UTPNCM programme they had advised me that the possible reason why Kin was no longer suitable is because the Universities were changing the programs from 4 to a 5 year, which is longer...

    Compulsory Remuster (COT) and Spec Pay

    Prior to 2002 or 3? OT transfers to spec trades so long as the member was QL5, rx'd spec pay immediately. That ended due to failure of some members to compete their new trade qualifications. As the member was required to pay BACK the spec pay they had received, in some cases depending how long...

    IR rate in Petawawa is $1900?    Who the hell pulled that figure out of their a$$? @ PMedMoe It's actually $1800 with $100 for parking  :)

    Purchasing a house and renting it out after you are gone?

    A few points I have experienced: 1) Get a good property manager. Some property managers will call an electrician to change a lightbulb, a $60 lightbulb.?? 2) Rent to military people if possible. You know where to get a hold of them and "generally" will not be fired while you are renting to...

    Draft Revision of C7/C8 PWT System (2-3-4).

    Just a thought, I am not clear on why a test has to be progressive. Training should be progressive but shouldn't the test be finite? If it can be finite then... As the PWT(s) are a test why not design it in a manner like our ROEs. You have a list of PWT(s) with core skill testing requirement...

    Leave Policy – Annual (time off, after hours, ect...) [Merged]

    A point to note when you are trying to find the alternate employment go down to the reserve unit you wish to work with. Because of the transient  (positional) nature of the reserves, the contact info the ULO has might not work. It has been my experience that emailing for employment tend not to...

    Body Mass Index and "Obesity"

    1) Should you take offence? Nope not even a little. It's unfortunate she did not elaborate on other methods of measure, but as you said she was correct for the BMI. 2) I would let it drop. On the other hand if it still bothers you then yup tell her so. Here is the problem though... You were...
