    Just as I suspected. Former LCIS techs are a long way from getting their pay sorted. The CMP recommendation is the FIRST step ( and that took a year!) Now, a file has to be prepared at DPPD for CDS approval. ( ie another year probably) Then, a process to figure out any back pay will take time...

    Im not saying this latest bit of news is true or not. I find it strange that it is only coming out of CFSCE.  Don't you think that if a major decision like this was received, the D RCCS would immediately send out an update ? This would be the first bit of favourable news regarding this cluster...

    I know that was what D RCCS had asked for last year.  The rumour I am referring to, is from BdFb (two posts above)  which seems to indicate that the reinstatement of LCIS techs spec pay has been approved.  ( which seems to only be coming from CFSCE apparently )

    So, the only place this breaking information was "heard" was CFSCE ?  ( the center of the universe for Sigs rumours ! ) :facepalm:

    and why do we have shortfalls in CST and IST ? I will speculate. RETENTION ! I know more than a handful of CST who  re-muster to ATIS every year ( this was rare before 2011). of course ATIS takes them with open arms.  These people are not fed up with the CAF or with the branch.  They are fed...

    update of sorts from the D RCCS. --------------------------------------- Good afternoon, Although I am making the rounds and conducting Town Halls, I thought it important to communicate to you on where the ACISS pay review sits as some of the Town Halls are still a few weeks away and some...

    Retro Pay & Allow 1Apr 2014 - 1Apr 2017

    question. Is a leave pass required to get a pay raise and/or back pay ? Also, can a CAF member get a pay raise when a civilian who works for them is on sick leave ? not sure of any other way to get this topic back on track  :P

    I don't doubt he was a great leader when you worked for him. And I am sure he is hard at work at branch business .  But when the party line the DSigs is briefing is on repeat from exactly one year ago, It starts to lose credibility. Any word on when the new berets are to be issued ? How about...

    This was the same crap briefed 2 ( ? Can't remember the exact dates the 4.5 years this has dragged on is making me fuzzy) years ago. We were told that DPPD was stopping all pay reviews so they could "modernize" the way they do pay reviews.  We were told to wait until sept of 2015 and the...

    I see that the DSigs assurances that he was going to get old LCIS techs grandfathered (vice frozen)  until the trade review was done has quietly slipped under the radar ( I seem to recall in the spring, his word was that by the summer, qualified LCIS techs spec pay would be put back inline with...

    Name that badge

    Thanks dangerboy for the ID, and the reference. I looked throught the dress regs, but without knowing what it was called, could only look for a matching picture.

    Name that badge

    Does anyone know what the badge in the attached photo is ? I don't recall ever seeing it before, and a search through the dress regs doesn't identify it. It appears to be a gold maple leaf with a sword, worn above the nametag. ( I have blacked out the nametag before posting )

    Wearing Command Badges

    Farmer, What's the deal with your avatar ? To avoid confusion , a good practise with CF avatars is to use ones that reflect your current ( or earned)  rank/cap badge / branch /unit. Not sure what statement you are trying to make/ represent with yours.

    Well, it has finally come out. The word is MES is cancelled ( by sorts ) CST are grandfathered Spec Pay. IST who were LCIS will get spec pay, those who either came from the SIG OP side, or new ISTs will be given the chance to take POET to receive spec pay. LST are going to be screwed over...

    Based solely on your comments above, the Sigs world would be a better place if people with attitudes like you leave.  Your comments indicate a complete lack of knowledge.

    So it's "the process" that has given only 3 official updates in 3.5 years ( and each update promises a final answer in a couple months) Or it's "the process" that started a SharePoint site as a repository of information.... That's last upload was 2011 ? If "the process"  gives repeated vague...

    I heard the same thing. I am sure the Coles notes version of the "update" will be. " the pay review has encountered a number of administrative obstacles along the way.  We expect a full answer in the coming months ... This is our number one priority " Sorry if that sounds familiar. One of...

    Canadian Forces Officer guilty of wearing unearned medals.

    The link to the CM results page was posted earlier, but here is a short cut and paste to refresh the thread. (which seems to be inquiring what the medals(s) in question was (were) and what uniform they were worn on.) From the Court Martial results page. ...
