    Redress of Grievance – Mega thread [MERGED]

    The correspondent at the IA (also the grievance analyst) has not responded back every time either of us have tried to contact him (both phone and email).  Disclosure has not been received either.  The last thing I got was an email from the correspondent stating disclosure would be sent.  That...

    I'm going for HCA, LOG, TDEV.  I know a guy going for CELE.  He placed 2nd last year for the one position and will likely get it this year but you never know.

    University Training Plan NCM (UTPNCM) 2005 - 2018 [Merged]

    That is not necessarily true.  I specifically asked the PSO regarding occupations in the CANFORGEN that had 0 numbers in the SIP and she said it didn't matter as they needed people so according to her the SIP numbers aren't necessarily accurate as they can move numbers around depending on the...

    Special Commissioning Plan ( SCP )

    Still haven't even heard from Ottawa on the 2016 SCP competition and the new CANFORGEN for the 2017 SCP competition is out.  Not sure what to do at this point...PSO doesn't know anything more other than that Ottawa says messages will be cut shortly....

    University Training Plan NCM (UTPNCM) 2005 - 2018 [Merged]

    Still haven't heard from Ottawa whether its a yay or nay for SCP.  I'm assuming a nay at this point but there are others waiting as well.  Ridiculous!

    University Training Plan NCM (UTPNCM) 2005 - 2018 [Merged]

    Some UTPNCM have got theirs and some SCP have got theirs but still many outstanding that have not yet received a YES or NO.  My PSO said if they don't hear anything by 7 Jun than they will contact Ottawa to find out wtf.

    University Training Plan NCM (UTPNCM) 2005 - 2018 [Merged]

    Congrats!  Did you apply for all under both UTPNCM and SCP?  They would only allow me to apply for SCP for HCA even though I also wanted to apply for HCA under UTPNCM.  I have not heard of anyone getting HCA under any plan.  A friend of mine who is a shoe in candidate for CELE has not been...

    CF Hair Regulations - superthread [MERGED]

    The last sentence in the following paragraph really sums up what I have been talking about.  If your hairstyle is part of your "ethnic identity" than you should not have to give that up.  Aboriginals had to do so when they were assimilated into residential schools. "In 1971, Canada became the...

    CF Hair Regulations - superthread [MERGED]

    Do you think that if the Dress Manual contained photos of cultural type hairstyles that conformed to the regs that it would beneficial to the CF in promoting diversity? Do you think some minor alterations to the haircut regs (ie. length, shape etc) in order to make them more adaptable for...

    CF Hair Regulations - superthread [MERGED]

    Well maybe things should just stay the way they are and the organization should never evolve in relation promotion of ethnic style haircuts in order to help promote diversity in the forces?  It was that way until someone decided to put their hand up regarding Aboriginal hairstyles. Part of good...

    CF Hair Regulations - superthread [MERGED]

    Basically what I'm saying is that the current regs don't appear to promote ethnic style haircuts.  Why shouldn't dreadlocks be authorized?  They can be done in a conservative manner.  I'm not saying people should have big nappy dreads or anything like that.  Dreadlocks are not a "mandatory"...

    CF Hair Regulations - superthread [MERGED]

    I am curious what people think of the current hairstyle regulations and how they appear (to me) to pertain mostly to Caucasian males and females.  I have not seen any pictures of ethnic hair styles in the manual.  If you look at the pictures displaying the permitted hairstyles there is nothing...

    Prior Learning Assessment Review( PLAR ) FAQs

    . Actually no.  While related and similar I was asking a different and very specific question. Asking if you can get something PLAR'd and asking if you can get something PLAR'd before you actually become an Officer are two different scenarios.

    " I'm awaiting a "good to go" message for Special Commissioning Plan so I was wondering if I should start the PLAR now or just wait till I get a positive response.  So yes I have an open file but I don't have a "yes" just yet.
