Yea fair enough, as long as the member is isn't doing anything out of line it makes sense. My knee jerk response above was almost involuntary, as I had a pretty large BTL at one time, had more than a few folks tried to game the system or get money from from some source for tuition or other...

It doesn't say anything about student loans because the CAF covers all tuition, books and mandatory fees. There is no need for anyone to get a student loan for school expenses.

There is nothing you can do on your end. It is a system glitch with the authentication service. It will come back up

Meh, maybe the institution should not have vastly differing policies on when someone reaches the rank of Cpl. No one can convince me that a PRes soldier with a few months of experience over 2 years is more deserving than a Pte in the RegF with 3 years of full time experience. Make it all 3...

Until they harmonized PRes and RegF policies my thoughts are that the RegF should just be mass advanced promoting folks to Cpl. Easy QoL and acknowledges the experience a RegF Pte has gained over their PRes brethren that is within current policy restraints. Above Cpl I agree advanced...

Good catch the 20 year one was last year after all

Close quarter battle between Russian vs Ukrainian tanks. Not Kursk 48.303062, 37.457335 point to a location in eastern Ukraine, near the city of Horlivka in the Donetsk Oblast region.

No, they have a few deployment medals and CD with bar. They are just the type of veteran that needs everyone around them to know they are a veteran.

Crazy stuff, even crazier they downed one and hit another. Nice to see!

I don't disagree, but neither of us get a say in the policy or get to wish away the assumed risks if they put in a potential breach of the Human Rights Act into policy. That's why it was changed before this policy even came down to be pretty much anyone could get a RHU.

Pretty sure they have it in there to avoid a challenge under the Canadian Human Rights Act (CHRA) of discrimination due to marital/family status.

Good catch, fixed

FWIW I agree with your viewpoint and did/would do the same. I just know in practice it isn't how most view it.

No you are reading that right. Pri 1 is weighted towards new to CAF or moving due to training needs if already a CAF member

1 CMBG had an unofficial policy of advance promoting pretty much every Pte to Cpl at 3 years as a way of offsetting QOL during the oil patch boom. Continued long after (and may still) because it gives a QOL boost and as @SupersonicMax points out it means almost nothing if someone matriculates...

Changes to how CFHA manages priority lists for RHUs effective 01 Dec 24. Priority 1 – CAF member moving at public expense New entrant to the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) posted off the Basic Training list (BTL) to their first place of duty or to a different place of duty, within their first...

The NIIN is an older term but I don't think beyond the nerds that maintain the databases or talk with the NATO codification people it had much usage. I re-read your post are you just trying to identify what the clothing is? Jacket wet weather - is the rain jacket in cadpat CONVERGED JACKET...

The NIIN is the NSN just without any dashes. 20-001-7154:NSN 20-001-7153:NSN Not understanding what you need but if you can clarify, I can help

The minimum time in ranked to be accelerated promoted to corporal in the PRes is one year, so likely there is something else at play that is getting your friend promoted if it is earlier than that. Reference is CFAO 49-5(20). The mitigating factor is the CO is not the approving authority but...
