Thanks,     At that point though, how can you prove the meals were provided or not? Meals WERE available and a dining establishment, we went there sometimes, but since we were told by our DETCO at the start that any location was good, there would be no issues (given this, and the fact that they...

Hey again,       Can you provide a reference (I know this is probably annoying, as it's obvious in Chapter 8 of the CFDTDI) for these? Or tell me where I could find them? Our major originally told us we could visit neighbouring cities during weekends and claim meals (with receipts, but this...

There was the included "cookie-cutter" sheet that says rations will be used, however, right before boarding, we had a Q&A with our Maj, and when asked where we could eat, he said anywhere, just keep your receipts. It's all very hodgepodge so far, and finding actual proper directive is pretty...

Not really, it was pretty vague, as they didn't really have any idea what we were going into. They actually pre-emptively advanced us 120% of what a full per-diem TD would give us, including hotel costs. so best case scenario, we owe back 1100CAD, and worst case scenario, we owe back 4000CAD...

Hey, sorry for dragging this out again, but our OR is referencing a few CFTDTIs, mainly 5.19 on meals. It states rations should be used when available, however, can it really be justified that they weren't provided if we had to pay for them ourselves? Is it considered a "subsidized government...

Not really. The reason I got was that the det CO wanted to try something new. that said, the local mess was actually very good. but they gave us the option to eat there or in a commercial establishment. Being ordered to eat on base would have been better, as people are (theoretically, according...

Thanks for all the in-depth responses. I think I have a way forward, and the other guys are going to appreciate it too. One note and that random piece of paper they included mentioned getting per diem rates while at hotels(minus breakfast), and having to provide receipts only when staying in...

Thanks for the quick responses. Some of the guys have gone up to the OR without receipts already, and they got chastised by the clerks for making their job harder my having to do stat decs. It's seems to me that their trying to not honour policies is what's causing that. I was just not sure if...

Hey guys,     I had to make a new topic, because, although there are quite a few on claims already, none that I've found can really explain this to me. If any of you people could help me understand, it would be greatly appreciated. This is my current scenario: I just went on an out-of-country...
