    The Defence Budget [superthread]

    Signals world should be number one. The amount of red tape "specialists" for a wide range of positions is worse, and the amount those pers are paid because of "knowledge"

    The Defence Budget [superthread]

    How is adding Civilian positions trimming the fat? The problem stems deeper. From the Comms and support side- It stems in certain positions that are integral to CAF operations and communications that are stuck with civilian employees that have hoarded information, protected themselves where the...

    The Defence Budget [superthread]

    No Chewing out here, I think they are all idiots. Im glad Vance is in there, Met him several times overseas and hes a great leader, perfect for the position. The reason why Uncle Rick was so well respected with the troops was because he allowed himself to be identifiable with them. Uncle Walt...

    Sensitive to Morale issues or not, if you bring this forward in a town hall, from a CO, or they read it in an email or get informed by Troop WO in an O group in the shop. People are going to be upset, and angry over this. The Dinos can say you signed the dotted line as much as they want. The...

    Adding to that- What can be discussed that hasn't already been discussed that can change the direction of this? Realistically. 4 years later, of all the town halls, of all the PD sessions, of everything that has been brought up in emails, smoke pit and discussions at the messes, they haven't...

    Yeah I would laugh at seeing that too. Or the best "I can snap a pic of the inside of this radio/crypto/tacnet box and email it too myself because its a work blackberry and ETHAR/ITAR does count because its a work phone."

    Seen the note about Spec Pay in the letter. Sooo how can they say that they are trying to remove the restriction of Spec Pay for those members that were receiving it. They don't have the power to grant raises, or adjust pay. Thats why so many people are frustrated as is. Removing a restriction...

    Confused

    Not true What happensis the CAF holds your file, when the request comes in for the file to go to VAC, the electronic copy gets sent to a Section in Ottawa, from there it gets a once over, then sent to VAC. In the meantime, the HArd copy gets sent to the same unit, and follows along suit. When...

    Apparently they are trying to stick to a 20 week max for all applicants. I find that hard to believe. IF thats the case then the CAF better get rid of that Med File funnell/traffic jam unit in ottawa out of the way.

    The Tyisking/Ceaser Super thread of FAQ

    I have to disagree, Let them Join the reserves, complete the Basic/QL3 in the reserves, graduate High school then go Reg. Not to knock the reserves, but sometimes you get on courses faster etc. For example I had an 18 year old on my PLQ, Reservist, just graduated High School, pretty switched...

    Confused

    To be honest, from the horror stories I have heard and witnessed, I am not expecting a favorable result, and feel like I am just going up against a big bad machine that pumps out no letters, regardless of what the person on the phone or the VAC rep in the office says. What they say and what is...

    I am in agreeance. I have seen in units that they have their own custom built PCs that are sold to the unit by an employees private business, those PCs have wireless cards installed, they light up like christmas trees with the LEDS, and WIFI networks all over the shops, (a Raw cut wifi, that is...

    could just be waiting until the last legacy LCIS, SIG Op and Lineman retire or OT out of ACISS, then they will come out with a No for an answer and the justification "you never had it so you don't know what its like"

    That might work here, our political system is a joke and no one is held accountable. Look at Wynne avoiding RCMP Questioning, Same thing happened with that cow from quebeckistan, outright violations of Canadians rights in Quebec stating they have to do business in that language. There are two...
