The new Commander of the Canadian Army stated that he will recommend that the ETB be extended to Cl A reservists. That doesn't mean that the rules are going to change, but he's going to ask that they be changed.

Can someone post a link to EMAA? Currently deployed and all the images for this build have issues. No favourites are loaded on the browser.

So from there, for reservists we get: For example, a heavy Cl A during the year, teaching Cl B during the summer guy, with maybe one tour, might qualify for the 6 year benefit with 12 years service. Thank you for getting me the links to figure that out, while VAC still has "ask us closer to 1...

More complicated systems and overly optimistic assumptions beforehand? Downtime for lack of spares and the presumable waste of rushing critical replacements seems to be suggested in the text.

Where are you getting one for one exchanges on T-shirts? As SQMS, I never had any hassle for my guys getting new ones every year, unless clothing stores was literally out of a size or something. Long underwear, yes. T-shirts, no.

"The whole system's intended purpose" was to make up for a shortfall of Sig Ops by rebranding Linemen and LCIS as Sig Ops. Its intended purpose succeeded, and now the powers that be are considering how to undo the damage. Why would anyone choose to go CST when they could go ATIS (about the same...

And then someone, somewhere in div overspends, then all units are told to shut down. Then six weeks later, after someone changes their mind, the tap gets turned back on after folks have made other plans. It might be simple, but simple is difficult.

So my best friend never finished high school and has a serious self-improvement thing going on. One of the things she's working on is her communications skills. I passed on to her some decent books on technical writing, and she's getting into it. She's pretty self-directed, but she wants to get...

More than that. Maybe they should stop it altogether, ask for some consultation inside and out, then consider considering how to consider having a new one.

Sarcasm or not, Somalia was an Italian colony and the Portugese never made a serious bid for it. Trying to imagine a "good" place to go, and I'm coming up empty.

Looks like position start dates are early June here. GL, and let us know how it works out.

After searching for any other relevant threads, I'm also interested. As much as I've been able to gather, there appear to be unit recruiters who will be acting as their own file managers. A file manager at brigade-level will then deal with any bumps that the unit recruiter/file manager might...

What about putting them all in Gagetown? If we've got one squadron's worth of tanks, how about outfitting only one squadron and the school with a pool of tanks? Call everybody else armoured recce like they did with the reserves?

Many years ago, I made some idle observations and mentioned to my wife that I felt old. Seeking to reassure me as I approached my 30th birthday, she said that I wasn't old but rather that I was "just middle-aged".

I would approach the individual reserve units in the area, who should have unit-level recruiters to handle communications. Look into trades that they employ and the training timelines that they have. You're unlikely to find a trade that doesn't have courses requiring full-time training, but you...

Not necessarily. When I went in for surgery for my service injuries, I was advised that I was probably facing medical release. Afterwards, I got told that part of it didn't go as well as hoped, but I did everything the surgeon and physio told me to do and my recovery went well. I was worried...

Heard the same thing yesterday, with CO saying that we would follow in the new year. 2 to 4 weeks from initial commitment to enroll to signing a Cl A paysheet.

Apparently with recruiting being moved to the units, the new target is 2 to 4 weeks from "Hello, I would like to join your unit" to signing a Cl A paysheet. I'm optimistic, but colour me skeptical.

I don't doubt that 294 exists and is valid. I am curious when and why it is exercised. What is the standard for a lawful excuse for the purposes of prosecution, vice administrative action? If my troop's sister calls bawling about a boyfriend leaving an hour before parade, he sends a text...

Its not just your unit, but it is something that could be solved within the units, as opposed to the great mess of "role, capability, structure, and so forth". I know my unit's had serious leadership issues, and is particularly short on experienced NCOs and officers, but we seem to have learned...
