Good afternoon, My advice is finish the last year of your degree and apply as a Direct Entry Officer as this will avoid any obligatory service related to academics and is probably the best aligned program for you.  Your degree program is sufficient to meet the degree requirements.  I also...

Sorry mods if this is in the wrong spot but I could not find a better fit.  ???  So please move as required . . . thanks  Good morning, Just to let those interested know that new DAODs have been released on the Commissioning from the Ranks Plan (CFRP) - DAOD 5002-10, and the Special...

I hear you about the DAOD and getting it out there . . . it is close if we can just get a few folks to agree to disagree and legal to bless it. I agree the COR thing should never had happened (trained or not) . . . that is unfortunate and a lot of these small holes have been plugged by interim...

Okay we are just going to have to disagree on this one as you have your view based on your past experience and I have mine based on my current load station. In actual fact QL no longer exists as they were rolled up under the DP structure. OFP is a clearly defined term in various CMP signed off...

Well I am not sure what to tell you . . . operationally functional point (OFP) is defined in various DAODs as the point where the member has reached the operationally functional point (i.e., trained) for their specific MOSID.  Granted it is not defined that way in the CFAO for VOT but it is...

Hi GR66, The caveat was in response to a post where the OP posited that I was making a mockery of human life by seeing men and women as made up of only the superficial (i.e., physiology, how you appear).  My point was that I don't.  Indeed it is directly opposite of the OP's contention. ...

Actually OFP is now the hinge point irrespective of when it is.  OFP is now the point where you are considered operationally functional and can be posted to your first operational billet.  For some that might be the old QL3 for others the old QL5.  When we examine for waivers, it is predicated...

To be honest not a big fan of crap on the bathroom walls or child models  :).  My take is let kids be kids (trans or not) and if they want to sashay down the runway when they get older, that is their choice. In the meantime, let them have fun. However I feel the same way about parents who live...

Hi Eaglelord, I have my own thoughts on this subject and will admit many in the community do not agree with my stance.  Let me explain . . . From my own personal experience, I knew quite young there was something different about me.  I could not stand up loudly at age 5 and proclaim . . . I...

Hi Jarnhamar, I was using this example to demonstrate that the bathroom bills are designed (or so they say) to protect young girls from male sexual predators entering the women's bathroom and molesting them . . . which the statistic demonstrate has never occured.  Your point is exactly what I...

Hello, Another piece advice I can add is make an appointment with the PSO prior to your intended VOT appointment to discuss the competitiveness of your CFAT score.  Most, except for a few long in the tooth folks like myself would have written the CFAT when you joined.  If you meet the cutoff...

Seriously Bruce . . . I am not picking on you  :).  I just want to respond to an issue which you brought up.  This will be a bit of read and a bit verbose so I apologize in advance. Goodness . . . the dreaded bathroom debate.  I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go down this rabbit hole as it will...

Hi Pusser, You make a valid point and I can only hope that should a trans person be post HRT (MtF) that they identify this to the PSP staff when they conduct their FORCE.  This is what I did and while my gender reflects "F", the results were put against a male of my age.  It was a bit of an...

Hi RogueSig, WRT advice to anyone starting down this path or if you happen to be a supervisor dealing with a person starting down the path I can provide some insight based on my own personal experience.  Generally, most people know they are transgender from an early age.  They may not quite...

Eye, Sorry, I don't agree with all your points in your reply so let's agree to disagree.  However, I can get behind your below point 110%  :) and I think my posts above will help move it in that direction. One question though . . . BTDT  ??? Cheers Andraste

Bruce, Unfortunately I have to disagree that thinking doesn't make something a reality.  Others may not see you as a "hottie" but in your mind you still are.  So your reality is not marred by others perception of you.  You are still said "hottest man who ever lived" and that is what defines you...

TKV and GAP (sorry I could not link your post for some reason), Yesterday I responded to your posts in a very callous, immature and unprofessional manner.  In essence I did exactly what I accused you of doing.  I will fall on my sword and personally apologize to both of you and anyone who read...

Alcon . . . Ack and got it.  I apologize if my tone came off as rude and condescending in response to what I saw as a personal insult from another followed by another harshly worded e-mail.  I live this daily . . . insults, attacks (verbal mostly / physical sometimes) so it does get very real...

Eye in the sky, Sorry I lost credibility in your eyes but you launched as if I just made an off handed comment.  It was in reply to a post directed at me in which I am insulted.  Was I suppose to sit back and take it?  Is there a reason why the individual below can call me delusional and that...

Lumber . . . I was not referring to your post above as it came in just before I posted.  I was referring to the other two folks above you.  :) Andraste
