Zardoz: I left the Personal about 10 years ago because of similar antics by them. They didn't deem me uninsurable but trying to get a legitimate claim out of them was like pulling teeth and their premiums were a good 20-25% higher than elsewhere. I suggest you call around. In fact, my house is...

Yes, let's not get into unit slagging here. He asked a legitimate question and deserves a legitimate response. As has been stated before, each unit has its good and bad points and you need to visit each unit separately and make your decision after doing your research. I used to be an Argyll, so...

I can fully understand the small businesses having a hard time with it.

S Baker. I had heard, however, that there are a lot of employers in the U.S. who won't hire people who are members of the NG or Reserves because they don't want to take the risk of having to lose them for training or duty which is why you also have an organization called ESGR (Employer Support...

Well so far it's been 3 hours and no violence yet. I walked by it and it really is quite peaceful. They just recently left City Hall and are making their way up to the Hill.

And those of us in Ottawa never see protesters?  ;D Ok. I don't agree with setting up a coalition to form protest groups. All this does is encourage those to join who protest for the sake of protesting and have no idea what their protesting about. We've had many here in Ottawa actually. A couple...

Ok. Fair enough. I agree. But what's OCAP?

Bruce, I think we are both unintentionally misunderstanding each other. I'm not saying that protesters rights are more important than anyone else's. For some reason, I just find it ironic that a soldier will fight for a democratic and free society, and then get upset when the people they are...

Do you honestly think that it's just the Canadian media that is like that? Have you not seen political protests from around the world broadcast by other media? Sorry to say it, but that's what news is. I'm not defending it, just stating a fact. There have been many times on this board when...

I think Recruit Joe is a little misinformed on the resources that are available to members of the CF. Social workers, psychiatrists and chaplains of ALL faiths are available to all CF members. The first Muslim chaplain was enrolled within this last year. There is also talk amongst the chaplain...

I have no objection to making it a day off from work, but I really object to using the term "holiday" to describe this day. The word is defined as "a day of festivity or recreation when no work is done". I don't know what other word can be used, but I really don't like it being called a "holiday".

The Cold War.

Although I don't disagree with removing vending machines from elementary schools (why the hell are parents giving their kids money to eat out of these machines anyway), I am in complete agreement with Bograt. The Ontario Government is becoming more and more like Big Brother everyday. They don't...

Well, if you want a full set of financials, send in your $5.00 to Access to Informaiton and request it. What you see on that website is something simple that is meant for publishing on the Internet to the public. It's no different than a corporation publishing their year end report to the...

<shudders uncontrollably> I'll get you for that  :rage: MOST human brains don't read each letter individually. MINE does. Hmmmm am I implying that I'm not human?  >:D Although that is pretty amazing. I actually read right through it without a problem. Now I have to find something else to make...

Actually no. The CIC and Rangers are not part of CFLC's mandate.

CFLC SURVEY OF STUDENTS IN PRIMARY RESERVE (P RES) UNCLASSIFIED THE CANADIAN FORCES LIAISON COUNCIL (CFLC) WILL CONDUCT AN ON-LINE SURVEY OF P RES MEMBERS WHO ARE HIGH SCHOOL AND POST-SECONDARY STUDENTS IN THEIR CIVILIAN LIVES. THE SURVEY WAS LAUNCHED ON THE CFLC WEBSITE WWW.CFLC.FORCES.GC.CA...

I stand corrected on the DEW lines. Thanks for educating me as to what actually happened to them. Cheers!

I heard about the Reserve pension plan very briefly at a meeting this weekend. These are the points that were in the slide presentation: - Bill C-37 updated the CF Superannuation Act, and provided provisions to allow a Reserve Pension Plan - Cost of the initiative to implement a modern pension...
