    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    Only question would be how to determine low income. Too often governments set a level that is not realistic to low and middle income. Are you sure they isn't some mixed numbers there? What requirement? I can travel from Halifax to Vancouver and back without one as long as I am at work on time.

    Army Reserve Restructuring

    Doesn't vehicle maint have to go to the civilian mechanics first? :D One of my brothers joined and graduated Cornwallis as an immediate Cpl as he was already a licensed mechanic. Was posted to Borden where he completed his 3 year TOS and pulled the plug as he hated it. His entire time there...

    FSA (Financial Service Administrator)

    you can be usually to do things outside of your trade as FSA doesn't have a role on an ex. If you want to do the exs I recommend getting a SMP 404 as it does make the exs more enjoyable. i wouldn't classify deployments on ops as an excellent opp, there isn't really that many and most are...

    Army Reserve Restructuring

    I think MA probably shouldn't be there. Others (such as civil, academic, religious distinctions and fellowships) are omitted except when the post-nominal denotes a qualification directly pertinent to the correspondence (e.g. medical degree in medical advice documents). CD is something that I...

    FSA (Financial Service Administrator)

    Most people are looking at the glory trades and not office work. If you like math and finance FSA may be suitable. Unfortunately we don't control the computers or programs so you may find that frustrating. Starting off you will most likely be in a claims section where you will have to learn...

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    Security clearances have always been an issue so nothing new there. In fact that is probably the problem, nothing new there other than making it digital instead of using a typewriter. A complete review of the process and staffing levels is needed to identify the bottle neck and how to resolve...

    IE 20 and Imediate Pension at 20 years service

    well that is a new one for me, linking TOS offers to a FY. We use to do it once a member was in their final year to give time for them to decide and ensure the career manager was aware the member was leaving if they didn't accept the TOS. The hope was the CM would line up a replacement...

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    3) I think would be hard to sell as the units in 32 Bde all have a large number of members at 165 plus reserves for each unit. Now if they cleaned up the NES that might be a different story - 384 not paid in last 180 days. One unit shows 179 on strength but 35 haven't been paid in 180 plus days.

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    Halifax has (had?) a nice little hospital at stad that included after hours emergency service and an ambulance. Went there one evening on an emergency basis, was seen right away, treated and admitted for a week. Considering they told me if I had gone home and went to sleep I wouldn't have...

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    Taking care of family is important. A big issue for us is family health care. We went from having a family doctor for years to not having one and unable to find one. Almost 10 years and my wife just got a doctor last month, my son depends on the pediatrician and the rest are still using walk...

    Transfering to the Reg Force (CT) and Rant about reserve units

    Because he was a cbt arms sgt that ct'd, had all the requirements required to be appointed to MCpl and I needed a MCpl as an OR Supvr to ensure the OR staff were taken care of while getting the work done. I was also able to provide him with OJT and if there was any trade specific questions he...

    Hamas invaded Israel 2023 Megathread

    When has that stopped them as that argument could be used in just about every conflict they decided to participate in over the years. Maybe it is in defence of the USA as the people in gaza keep calling for death to America. Works as good as the others. They would be going in to rebuild an...

    Transfering to the Reg Force (CT) and Rant about reserve units

    Nope, it depends - had a MCpl put in for CT and as he wasn't trade qualified the initial offer was Pte. I contacted the broker and arranged for the offer to be delayed 3 months as I had course loaded the MCpl so he could be then CT'd as a trained Cpl. By the time everything was done he was...

    Would that be the same society that published this in support of covid vaccine - https://royalsociety.org/-/media/policy/projects/set-c/set-c-vaccine-deployment.pdf • The public needs to be empowered to spot and report misinformation, with more accountability for media companies to remove...

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    Totally destroying USAID may be extreme but it appears that it needed some audit and oversight of where the dollars were going. Hard to determine what is actually happening as one report will state it is rolled into another department and will continue to function with better oversight while...

    Global Warming/Climate Change Super Thread

    I do recall some piss ant article talking about this and how the people of earth had to do something about it. Their idea was to be able to fire some rockets (maybe nukes??) into the sun to boost or restart it (can't recall fully) when the time was right. For some reason it didn't catch on...

    CAF Procurement

    Sorry but it is nice to see others understand lowest cost per item is not always the best and that they are just as frustrated with the system. Last case I had dealings with was we had a local supplier that cost a little more per item than a long distance dealer (Ontario to New Brunswick)...
