    Ribbons

    Just to clarify, by CD 3 i meant 42 years of service.  The member will be eligible on the 30 Apr and i have told him that he could wear the ribbon at that time.  When/if the box shows up before he retires it will be presented at one of our quarterly H&A ceremony.

    Ribbons

    I have a member due for his CD 3 :o at the end of the month and he will probably be out of the CF (CRA) later this summer.  My question is can he wear his CD 3 ribbon based on eligibility date or does he have to wait until he is presented with it at an H&A ceremony?  The reason i am asking is...

    OPME Rejection Notices

    Just to clarify, Merit Criterias (MC) are different from one occupation to the next.  This is why some get points for OPMEs (forever) and others do not.  DMILC has nothing to do with the drafting of those MCs other they issuing a yearly message stating the arcs of fire (60% performance and 40%...

    Entire Career in Infantry?

    I would say that at least 50% make a career out of it.  I spent 7 years with the vandoos and the only reason i left was because germany was closing and i didn't feel like going back to valcatraz...

    Purple Trades: Definition & Trg Discussion

    From a CE NCM point of view, although we wear Army and AF DEUs we can and are posted with all 3 elements and when it comes to postings we are colour blind meaning that we try to post the best person for the job regardless of DEU.  We have pers (AF DEU) who have spent their entire career with the...

    What's the CF like for women in 2010?

    With your background the CEO Occupation would be perfect for you.  Right now they have so many vacancies at the Capt/Maj level and people are getting promoted too quickly.  A more mature pers like you with the quals you already possess would definetely stand out in a crown of kids who don't...

    Todays Engineer

    JB, the Const Engrs include the following trades: CE Officer, RM tech, ED tech, EGS tech, PH tech, WFE tech, Const tech and FF.  They go on the same deployments as everybody else (usually more often because the trades are small).

    Construction Engineering Officer

    As idicated before as a CEO you would not be dedicated your time solely to electrical issues.  Also, there are no longer any static power plant operated by EGS techs, the only time you would be operating would be on deployments.  Which part of the country are you from?  We have one reserve...

    Brigade Shoulder Patch on DEU

    Good day all, need some help tracking down a reference.  In the Const Engineers we have 4 units (ACTs) attached to the CERs.  Got a question from one of the boys in Edmonton.  Why can't Air Force personnel were the 1 CMBG shoulder path on their uniform?  I have been looking on line and in the...
