    Brain Injury Pension Decisions

    Fellow TBI'er here (for lack of a better phrase). In regards to your pending decision, numbers wise you're not far off. I know when I went through the table of disabilities for myself and linked symptom to rating in said table, I was pleasantly suprised at the result that VAC came up with...

    EOD ?

    Nevermind the fact that the course itself is a joke (I had to take it on transferring from the British Army to Canadian Army), you could accomplish all the PO's and EO's in a day, considering that the only thing I ever applied from that course was CCMC and CCC. EOR? give me a break

    EOD ?

    That's exactly what they did for guys in 2008, and pretty sure the dudes on 1-10 had the same deal, which is why they were tasked up to pet +1 year prior to tour. As for the lessons learned...well...2011 we roll out on a big, conventional, 'back to real soldiering' brigade ex, where we were...

    2CER

    (613) 687-5511 x5504 This is the number for the duty desk at 2 CER. Call and ask to speak to the RSM or RSM's assistant, they will more than likely be happy to help. Construction Troop makes the nice wooden bailey panels as presentation gifts, although if I saw one of those in my 90th year I'd...

    Moreover, does a section commander need that much info?

    Military Command Software Center - MCS Personnel (Monitor MASS)

    It's been 2 years now that I've been out, and I haven't thought of that spiteful program once. It never once helped me do my job better. I knew my troops and where they were and only suffered MM enough to print leave passes for them. It seemed like a ridiculous duplication of Peoplesoft or...

    How VAC Gets Clients Upset with Poorly Staffed Responses

    Kinda along the same lines but slightly different VAC-WHY-YOU-SO-FRUSTRATING-rant... ..I use the 'My VAC Account quite regularly to submit claims. Mighty easy, quick and effortless. I used my bank debit card as a sign in credential.....until my debit card was replaced. I asked at the bank 'will...

    The Eternal Debate- helmet scrim; fact or fiction

    Question: Using local foliage/vegetation as 'scrim' is unacceptable why? Also, scrim aids in the concealment of a 30 ton diesel-guzzleing-carbon-footprint-destroying-solid-green-steel-behemoth in what way? I always laughed when, after this hard on for scrim found its way back into the minds...

    Canadian Decoration: C.D. [Merged]

    Canadian Forces Officer guilty of wearing unearned medals.

    Seems lately that the motto for the CF as a whole has been instead 'f**k it, I'm posted/retiring/releasing next year, he/she can be someone elses problem''

    Wearing gloves with touque mandatory

    I wonder if ISIS/ISIL/ISLAMIC STATE/BOGEYMEN DU JOUR have their equivalent of an Int Analyst (mujahid of the crystal ball???) persuing this forum, and reporting back to his boss that 'I don't think we have to worry about these frozen infidels, they are too busy yelling at each other about when...

    VAC Client Card - 'A' client vs 'A&B' client

    Long story short.... 2 classes of vets? One VIP & A&B, one only A? Based solely upon an arbitrary decision as to what you are capable of doing at home and who you live with? I don't get it.

    I am a CAF member & I want better pay and benefits (a merged thread)

    The comparison is also off when you consider a UK Cpl does the work of a Canadian/US Sgt (section commander/squad leader), whilst a Canadian Cpl is literally a time served rubber stamp.

    VAC Client Card - 'A' client vs 'A&B' client

    Exactly my point. you have to apply for VIP in order to get the better coverage (A&B), therefore VAC can easily keep costs down by denying VIP coverage, because nowhere is it equivocally stated which injuries rate VIP and which don't, it's seemingly arbitrarily decided by some staffer in VAC. I...

    VAC Client Card - 'A' client vs 'A&B' client

    So riddle me this - how then does an non-sda/sdo injury rate for VIP/A&B client status?

    VAC Client Card - 'A' client vs 'A&B' client

    To add to the confusion: Dear Mr *****: Thank you for using My VAC Account and our secure email services. Your A coverage refers to health care benefits that directly relate to your pensioned condition. B coverage could be associated to the approval of VIP when the need is linked to a...
