Yep, we just paid FOA. Couldn't imagine doing 100+ claims every exercise. Depending on when they go into the field it may be required. If the CHRA can influence things right you can have it purely CLDA and no claim. Reminds me of a case where a reserve unit had a new Fin O start. The Fin...

Ottawa is a winter city - what does that have to do with biking? I biked from March/April to Dec depending on the snow level, my co-worker biked year round. The majority of cities and towns aren't Ottawa or Toronto though. We have bike lanes that hardly get used. Except for the once a year...

You mean those of us that joined in the 80's? usually don't think of us as the newer generation but nice to have the recognition for our efforts. it was a bit nerve racking facing possible drummed up charges and booting from the military by standing with our friends against the system. The...

That is great, hopefully everyone remembers that when those that used the bike lanes are now casually riding their bikes in front of them as the law requires them to ride on the street. Both sides mishandled that one in a rush to appease their friends. Bike lanes are good when done right...

Short term pain for long term gain is not a bad thing. When troops suffer the unit suffers and command takes notice. When it happens enough they start looking into the issue and for a solution. No one wants the troops to suffer but if it isn't resolved all that is happening is delaying it...

I can give his answer - "because Biden was in power when it made the trip. I didn't take charge until Monday afternoon and this was already well on its way to Canada. If I had been in power the border would have been closed and those drugs would never have made it into the USA."

That's my line! and it's true.

Sometimes letting things fail is the best solution. It highlights that there is an issue that needs to be fixed. I used to put in a lot of over time to get the job done. I no longer put in as many hours as I realized the effect it had. By working the hours I did no one realized that there was...

The only issue was that after this they said we had to start paying more into it. Can't recall now if there was anything substantial to it but do remember people took it that the money was there, they took it away, the fund is now short so we have to pay more in to sustain it. People...

last time I worked at a pres from May to end Aug I was for a large part the only full time staff at the unit. Everyone else was tasked as staff or instructing on course at the local base. Some would try to do what they could when they could (nights, meal times, etc) while others understood the...

Ok just to make you happy as you obviously didn't like the joke. 55.4 (2) If, following the laying before Parliament of any actuarial valuation report pursuant to section 56 that relates to the state of the Canadian Forces Pension Fund, there is, in the President of the Treasury Board’s...

shhhh, the politicians realize this they might scoop it.

Why would he need an amendment when it already reads what he says? If others have problems with that they can submit an amendment. He didn't sign away anything, he reinforced it. In know, all interpretation. Prior governments interpreted it one way, the current another. Like always people...

Have they even done anything yet to be sued over? I read it, read it again and still agree with him. That isn't a surprise to anyone that really knows me as I have said it for years that it shouldn't exist anywhere. Women should not be able to travel to a country in order to obtain a foot in...

They were counting on Trumps tariff war to hide that. Wonder what they will use now that he hasn't imposed any.

take a barbell, hold it in the fire position and stay there as long as you can. When you can do that for 2 minutes add a weight to the far end. Does course staff allow this these days? On course if we tried that all hell would have rained down. "get down, proper fire position, effective...

Good by me, I never use them anyway. This is the CAF, been called lots of different things over the years so not so concerned about this. if a man has a spouse/so he already knows and is wishing he knew before hand. 🪖

Just tried it on my work computer and it worked fine for me. The form itself can be found in the FAQs under how to apply and it also worked for me. Is this the site you are using? https://veterans-service-card.canada.ca/en/ Try this: Veteran's Service Card - Canada.ca

Not every sgt wants the additional leadership and would be happy to spend their last few years without the hardship/hassle while increasing their pay. Regular Sgts are at $88.5k so yes some would certainly be happy to increase their pay by $21k a year. If it was me I would as it also increases...

Like most but can't really agree that everyone should have cadpat for those occasions that call for it. Over 10 years of storing army kit I don't use as the only occasions it is needed for is if I serve at an army unit and go on a field ex that actually has me in the field. Last ex I went on...
