A guy at my unit got a sleeve tattoo that went down over his knuckles onto his fingers. He wasn't ordered to have it removed, nor did he face any disciplinary action for it. But we all made fun of him for having it. Take that as you will.

Hence the lawsuit which we were discussing.

It's a shame really. I was lucky enough to return home in one piece, with only a minor battle injury in 11 years combined service. Yet I can't help but feel that the government would gladly wipe it's ass with my service. And sadly it makes me a little sick to see all those yellow ribbons now on...

I don't want to derail the thread any further, just want to say that not all of us FF's drive big new trucks and work half-rate construction jobs and take food from other workers tables and sleep all the time. My wife would laugh at the implication that we are rolling in money (we're not)...

I've 'transitioned' from Army to Fire, and I can confirm that Police/EMS/Fire are subject to provincial WCB/WSIB for work related injuries. Ya know, the same WSIB/WCB that Disability Awards are compared to and found to be lacking? Also, the emergency services have an attitude of 'safety first'...

You must have a head the size of an elephants to somehow cram all the little known (yet surprisingly useful and relevant) information you regularly contribute to the forum FJAG. Your posts certainly stand out amongst the 'why won't the CF hire me' and 'my sgt major is a dick' threads on this...

Why would he need a wingman? He had his dogtags on in a bar, he could have had the pick of the lot!!!

That whirring sound we're all hearing is lightguns backpedalling rapidly!!! ;D

Hmm, thanks for the info, I honestly didn't think about that but makes perfect sense. A days pay at the MCpl 2 rate isn't worth that much hassle!!

Good idea. Boreal forest and swamp are Al-Qaeda's next priority target.

It gets put into perspective.

I'll take a stab at this. It is the culture shock of coming from a 'me me me, I'll turn up when I want, I don't have to try hard at anything' culture to one where your failure to apply yourself directly impacts those on your team. It is working and living in a 24hr environment where you are...

Well it would certainly make a lot of sense actually  ;D

Hmm. Me too. That being said I would only be owing about a days pay or so, but still, would like to see them try to get it off me. See you in small claims court methinks, where a judge might not take so kindly a view to their mistake, a mistake I had no way of noticing and pointing out to them...

One has to wonder what sort of byzantine accounting system they are using when the situation below: can be allowed to occur. Furthermore, how inept an auditing job was conducted for those affected years that this wasn't noticed. Unless somewhere there is an RMS clerk, sunning him/herself on...

This will be of no help to you at all but my personal opinion was always that as you were the one who had earned the medal, it should be your choice how your receive the medal, be it on a glorious parade with marching band and cartwheeling dwarves, or wrapped in tissue paper, passed beneath the...

The fact is their behavior contravened the code of conduct for city employees. This alone gives the city a lot of leeway in regards to discipline. It is likely a document that you agree to abide by at the start of your employment, signing off that you are aware that contraventions of said policy...

Is it a two day event again? Seems to be not an awful lot of competitors this year.

:facepalm: ANALOG not needles. Sorry. Long boring day and I am annoyed by little things.
