    Freeze on component transfers

    In increment with the planned annual hire, i.e. total RegForce numbers in 2009 of x plus intake y = 2010 Reg Force. Intake y is divided per trades. Some substitutions are sometimes possible b/w trades, I think, when one fails to meet the objective.

    Freeze on component transfers

    The RegForce has been expanding, therefore so has been the PML. However, it is expanding annually, not all in one go. Which is why when you look at the SIP, the numbers are roughly similar over the next few years. Simply put, the CF is not a bottomless pit of money. You can't just "hire"...

    Freeze on component transfers

    Or if there aren't any slots??? The RegForce hires X many people a year: once they have hired that number per trade, DGMC needs to authorize any further hiring in that trade. Of course, if you are qualified and your quals are current, you sit at the top of the pile. But if there are no slots...

    Freeze on component transfers

    I was told trades may re-open on a case by case basis.

    Feds to announce home bases for new fighter jets

    Agreed! When my wife and I think of 3rd and 4th Wing as potential postings, we think more of the fresh air, the hunting and fishing, and the safety of raising your kids there than of the lack of cultural activities. Once you got kids in tow, you couldn't care less about clubbing, fine dining and...

    Uh? Saguenay is a GREAT place to live. I'd trade Freddie for it any day of the year. As for COld Lake, well, then, yeah...

    Freeze on component transfers

    That is definitely the feeling I got too from my exchange with my file manager. Will be processed but offers withheld until the freeze is lifted.

    Tax Credits and Pay system

    You are absolutely correct! My bad! However, I have in the past used extra credits to force a larger through the interprovincial transfer, i.e. owed Quebec xxx amount transferred from taxes paid to Canada, used extra credits to reduce xxx further before transfer. It worked and I didn`t hear...

    Tax Credits and Pay system

    iaefei: I just finished using my tax credits for tuition from my long time on uni benches  :'( (crying over both the long time and the end of credits). Those will stick with you forever, until you deplete them. I am 100% with 2010newbie. Keep 'em until the end of the year, then use only as...

    Freeze on component transfers

    Well, nevermind what the former CLS said, Infantry of all things is over-subscribed, so no luck there. In fact, my rumour sensor in NDHQ has it that the state of Infantry has a lot to do with the freeze, as the SVOTP for Infantrymen currently has priority over any other career options.

    RCMP arrest three for terrorism offences

    Let me get this straight: This jihadi, who presumably espouses radical islamist views, wishes to blow up Parliament, amongst other mischiefs, to condemn the imperialist decadent liberal west, yet enjoys music and dancing and the freedom to apply for a hyper-commercialized boring TV show made to...

    Freeze on component transfers

    In my case, yes a CT/OT, but (without posting the message that was sent to me, for reasons you understand I am sure), what I am told is that all trades have more application than positions. Some trades may see a restriction lifted earlier (presumably red trades) while the majority are unlikely...

    Freeze on component transfers

    Nothing out yet, to my knowledge. Info was passed on to me by my file broker. Closed until further notice - most likely until next FY for most MOSID. Processing will continue, but no hiring.

    Apparently CMP has declared a freeze on all component transfers effective immediately. Sad stuff... Ah well, some more waiting I guess...

    Medal of Honor (the game) Controversy

    Good point. Maybe as well in which you have to shoot other farmers who talked with ISAF because they were fed up of being asked to grow poppy... unlikely.

    Aircrew coping as well or better than regular soldiers"

    Grossman talks about this at length in "On Killing". It has been a trend in warfare for centuries to try and increase the distance with the enemy, in part to protect oneself but also to make an intimately repulsive act (the killing of another human being) less repulsive. Case in point, WWII...

    Cheated on while at Basic

    All I can offer is this: Unfortunately people on military courses tend to live the "course bubble". You are so close to your buddies and so removed from your family that your anchors seem to shift a bit. You can sometimes lose focus on who and what really matter to you, and on that one I speak...
