And PSP is exempt from this?  Oh I get it, they have no friends.  [Xp

Interesting.  I wonder who ordered that?  I just did mine today with my Unit Qual guy (one of three).  They do everyone in the Unit and for many other pers on Camp as well.  No PSP in sight.

Glad it's a Reg force thing.  [:D  Merit points mean nothing to a reservist.  The bag would be nice though.

"we remain committed to our commitments." - What the heck does that mean?

OPCOUGAR, Is there anything you are happy about in life?  I don't recall any of your posts on here that aren't you ranting about something.  A favorite saying around my home is, "If you can't say anything nice, shut up." Seriously, I challenge you to tell us about something positive that has...

Cheap way to get Mess Kit I guess.  >:D

Before we decide what training the reserves do, shouldn't we determine what mission we have first?  As far as I see we currently have none.  Based on some of the comments upthread, we don't even have a standardized training regimen within Divs, not alone across the country.  For example I ran...

An example of the problem: For 5 Div "ARCON" in Aug the Div Comd has asked for 2 RCR (and others) to support the trg.  Apparently this received a yes from 4 Div Comd.  So far so good. I attend the IPC and I see things fall apart as follows: 5 Div wants 2 RCR to basically run a giant gun camp...

Recceguy for Prime Minister.

Actually, I've seen plenty of redresses asking for a position someone didn't get.  In all of the successful cases one of two things happened: 1. The member was given the position he applied for and the person who originally got it was removed; or 2. The member was "found" as similar position for...

Actually it is closer to 2 in 5 as per Employment and Social Development Canada: http://well-being.esdc.gc.ca/misme-iowb/[email protected]?iid=76 See what I did there?  Disagreed with you and provided proof.  You should do the same sometime.

Camp Argonaut in Gagetown has three nearly new accommodation buildings that hold 300+ each.

Not quite true.  I am on a BOI right now for a Cpl who was released 5f late 1990s from Cornwallis.  Was re-enrolled into the regular force 7 years ago.  Only required a waiver from the CDS's office.  No other hoops to jump through other than the "normal" stuff.

Seriously?  All your questions have been answered a lot on these boards. Please use the search. Quick and dirty answers: 1.  Depending on Rank and trade you could have anywhere from none to ~10 direct reports.  Also depending on rank you could have none to thousands working FOR you.  Pro tip...

BMOQ is offered on weekends, but your trade crse(s) are not.  You will still need to take training during the summer (time dependant on trade). I'm not in the units in Toronto, but my understanding is that they only get a very few jump spots a year.  Who gets to go is/should be based on merit...

I've never seen recruiters from Halifax recruiting center anywhere near my armouries (Annapolis Valley/South Shore).  The only recruiters I do see are the Brigade funded ones and my own Class B guy supplemented by the Class A folks I pay for out of my training budget. The Halifax staff at the...

You've summed up my intent 100%.  I couldn't find a sarcasm smiley for that line in my post. Everyone needs to do their fair share of the work.  If you can't do that because you have some objection to food, light, or some other issue, then please reconsider your prospects with the CAF. ...

OK, I wanted to resist, but I cannot. First off are you vegan, or not?  Your quote above seems to imply you are vegan sometimes, but if that makes eating too hard, then you "give in", and eat non-vegan items.  Isn't that like saying your, "kind of pregnant"?  I admit, I don't see what the big...

We normally do at least one per year on public lands.  As mentioned above it is a lot of work.  One exercise involved over 200 land clearance forms be signed. (We learned not to do that again).

Totally agree.  In my Unit, nearly all of my leadership staff work Class B in Aldershot and volunteer with the Unit.  For example, OC A, CSM A, all 3 Pl WO's, and all my Sect Comd less two, and up until last year myself were filling at least two roles.  The Unit has had only 3 officers make it...
