Thanks, I will go into mine, knee, they have me put down as having runners knee, which doesnt include torn ligaments, but mine is torn and ortho and physio both clearly stated a surgery wont help, so its not runners. This whole process is mindboggling....how did it ever work. Shouldnt have to...

Ill agree that there are civil servants that do an exceptional job, I am finding those few and far between now

DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER---- First- There is no coverage for a member that releases/retires from the military. Until the point that their new benefits kick in. I was called by VAC saying i was entitled. Then I attempted to call back and ask about them as i have three months with no extra...

Ok So heres the deal, In September/October I submitted an application for benefits. It took forever for my medical documents to reach VAC. (Feb 11th) I was told that the 14 week timeline began on that day. Then, I noticed that on myVAC it had changed to be Step 3, (Not knowing what step two...

EO Techs and weapons techs are two different things. EO Techs work on sighting/visual aid/targeting electronics. "I  know there was a push for Weapons to receive it, due to being "Millwrights" to an extent" The reference was towards weapons techs, not EO. Sorry for the confusion.

Weapons Tech don't receive Spec Pay last I have heard. Only EME trade that did was EOTech, I know there was a push for Weapons to recieve it, due to being "Millwrights" to an extent,

I have to agree on I know of a few MCpls now, that shouldn't be, and i was more then shocked to read in on the FB feed that they had received their leaf. That is from the LCIS side, the sig op side scares me. And yes, to have someone that is in 5 years and a leaf is alot to ask of them, but...

I mean more of those that were recruited as an ACISS

Dealt and seen that a bit. A CST jumping ship to IST created a lot of open spaces for members to get promoted. There were and are a lot of people being promoted that shouldn't of been. (Im not saying everyone didnt deserve it) The maturity level was just not there, and they weren't quite ready...

I far from hate the branch, it was a joke. IT is full of alot of good people, and good leaders. The branch gave me the training and tools to be successful civilian side, and I am grateful for that, but there is only one or two Officers I have served under, seen and dealt with signal side that...

You mean all of the signals world is saying this? What do you expect, I am not doubting what you say, even with a Cmdt and RSM saying we arent saying about it there are other channels that information gets passed down from. I have been at a brief where the Cmdt says one thing and then 20 minutes...

Im surprised with a Sig O as a CDS the wheels didn't just fall off the bus and it crashed and burned. Isnt Soldier first? and the basis of writing those orders does not change. Any good leader is going to listen to their support. Using that, Any leader can with the right team can fill that...

Ill agree Canadian Media is an absolute joke, they do whatever they can and spin alot to meet their own needs and end state. However, I will say this.... Why is the Government, DND, and VAC allowing Manulife to request this. Why is it not cleared up, or written before hand. do not make an...

Recently heard from the school, (I know I am not still in, but I do have friends still in) LST dropped the Spec Pay chase? CST is good to go and ready for it?(Apparently the Sub Occupation has been approved all the way up) IST is still waiting to get their ppwk in order for approval? Typical...

Thats how the Brits operation in IMATT in Sierra Leone, they were making some crazy amount of money 75k Pounds year plus, and it was treated more like a posting, they would spend 1-2 years, but lived on the Compound. It was a great go for them. From what I gather is they were paid normal wages...

He is always very outspoken against the government and always pushes for the veterans and the soldiers. He is one of the few that isnt biased and speaks factual information and truth. He does it in a very in your face kind of way, without being outright insulting to the Government. Which is very...

Unless people have been deployed or on any sort of military leadership course that teaches instruction, mentoring, leading, they wont understand "Mentoring" in the mindset of a military member. On those courses, the staff followed along, they took note of what occured, and let you know how you...

I have to agree that the RCL is pushed/geared and empowers WWI, WWII, and Korea alot more then Afghanistan. Saying that, that is within their right though. Not that Afghanistan should be forgotten, but it does prove they are lost in touch to the currently serving and recently retired members. I...

Many of us have brought up possible changes. I have been part of several dozen threads, questionnaires, surveys, AARs you name it with various thoughts and ideas put forward about how to fix it. The general response received is, That doesn't work, or that the system is not broken. When you are...

My fault, I mixed two questions. 1. I dont get how they justified switching to a Lump Sum Payment, unless the book keepers saw it as a major change in cost? 2. I was contacted by my case worker, stating I am allowed to put in claims for my right knee, for physiotherapy. How is this possible...
