quick update.. The LCIS trade under College Ahuntsic is currently under review.. so, you cant currently get accreditation.. Hopefully though, the number of credits they are granting will go up with evaluation. Cheers,

A change of report day, 30 days in either direction of your COS only requires a quick email from one CO to another.. IF you are trying to change your report date further than 30 days, a memo through your COC is required, as well as career manager intervention. Its too bad you are not...

Hypothyroidism is very popular (even in the military). Many members (including myself) have this condition and are required to take medication on a daily basis. I didn't join the military with this condition, so I cant guarantee that you wont have road blocks in the recruiting process. But, I...

I am regular force.. and I live within 50km of work. When I am duty tech, and I get called into work, I get to claim mileage (high rate) there and back. That is policy for the entire NCR (national capital region) I don't know if this is CF policy, or just an "Ottawa thing" Cheers,

I was a "winner" of said lottery to receive the QGJM, but I along with other "winners" in my unit have decided not to get around to getting this medal mounted. So, there she sits, in a box in my drawer where it belongs. Cheers,

If you are getting posted to Pet then you are in Luck..  The Pipe Major of the 2CMBG Pipes and Drums is Colin Clansey.. One of the best players in the world. With 4 world Championships under his belt, I am sure he can start you off on the right foot !! Cheers,

Hi George, Apparently the Land PLQ is for combat arms trades only, and includes mod 6 (field portion) the CF PLQ is for all other trades. Petawawa is running both a CF PLQ and Land PLQ. However, their kit lists look remarkably the same.. hmmm...  Looks like I may have to remember how to fold my...

HitOrMiss - I have no problems with a combat arms base.. I did 7 years in sunny Shilo with 1RCHA (I can say sunny now.. because I am no longer there LOL) But, now that I have seen the light, I can only take stupidity in small doses.  ;D It is the CF PLQ that I am loaded on.. I was just...

I am looking for information from anyone who has done the CF PLQ in Petawawa recently. I was originally scheduled to attend the CF PLQ in Esquimalt, and now I have been changed to Petawawa. The differences in these courses from what I can read from their respective websites is pretty...

Quick everyone... form a big line and run to your RMS clerk.  I am sure they will be more than happy to answer the same questions for 600 or 700 people in the next 15 days. Why can people wait until their pay statement comes out? Then, if there is a problem, see your RMS clerk.

I hate it when radops beak-off about spec pay...  and say techs are just part changers.  How about I compare the most basic task of the SigOp trade... DO you thing Sig Ops deserve spec pay for making coffee in a command center? You are looking at the LCIS trade with one eye closed buddy. Now...

Not to be harsh.. but, you are not in the RCAF.. it does not exist anymore. On a nicer note.. have you tried a compassionate posting? Or, you can also apply for a posting under quality of life. Both of these routes do however have career implications. Cheers,

Why would you want a slip on with your unit on it? The only slip ons Cadets or the CIC are allowed to wear say CIC, or CADET on them. anything else is illegal. If you want fool people on the street that you are in the regular force or reserves.. Join the regular force or reserves. I don't care...

I was posted a couple of years ago, and we received a pay raise in sept (retro to april 1st) I was posted in july, and received the old rate for my posting allowance.. However, almost 5 months later, I received a cheque in the mail from IRPP, making up for the adjusted pay rate. So, yes, if the...

My trade "required" high school senior mathematics and physics. I had the math, but never took physics. I am now in the trade I wanted.  I just had to study a little harder than average while on course. My advice is to take the apptitude test, and if you score high enough for Med Tech, the rest...

So, I guess it takes years and years to prepare for a tour in this day and age.. Because, if you happen to be killed in action, every dark secret and bit of dirty laundry in your past is giong to be dragged up for a sensational article. My biggest fear going overseas now is not getting wounded...

I was posted to 731 for 3 years.. and then posted to 1RCHA Shilo for 4 years. In Shilo, LCIS techs can get posted to 731 commsqn, 1RCHA, or 2PPCLI. All three units have LCIS techs (731 has the most) If its tours you want.. the best bet would be to get posted to 2VP. I know guys currently at 731...

I would go in a second.. MCPL, LCIS - dag green. but, I guess getting "stuck" in ottawa has put a damper on me going overseas again. Cheers,

I was not implying installing pirated software on a DWAN workstation. First off, you would need admin privilages to do so.. and second, priated software on a DND machine would get someone into a world of hurt. But, what you do on your home computer (which is what the original post was referring...

Adobe Acrobat is not included. We have to purchase a separate license for every user that has Adobe Acrobat installed. Meaning, you cant even "borrow" the Cd and install it at home.. each workstation has their own unique licence. (the PDF creator, not the free reader) If you really want the...
