You appear attractive on paper, but the proof is whether there is substance behind that.  Make sure you have an understanding of your community, your country, and world affairs.  And make sure you are confident with the charisma that says "I can lead", but temper this with humility as you...

First off, sorry for your loss.  Absolutely appropriate (with medals but no band) and I have done it.  The greatest mark of respect a CF mbr can provide is to be in full uniform as this represents who we are and the life we have chosen to lead.  For you to attend an immediate family mbr's...

The community council is a good route, as is CFHA as tenants sign an occupancy licence.  But when in doubt, there is always the your CO call their CO route.  Sometimes folks need to be reminded that they live in a military community and there is an obligation to not just be civil and keep the...

The names, faces and voices of those involved have been altered for their own protection.....

Good luck with this one.  Yet another baby being thrown out with the bathwater.

Old school etiquette is never out of fashion nor out of place.  I just toured a LCol around unit lines as our guest and was taken aback, dismayed and disappointed at how many folks failed to use the word "sir" or even stand up to shake his hand upon introduction.  These were simple things my...

You mean there is an option??  I have consumed too much "you need to be mobile" cool aid. Or maybe I just cannot hold a job ;).

My daughter will turn 10 yrs old in her 6th house and enter grade 5 in her 4th school.  Good luck with the posting to a specific base to be near friends and family...... :salute:

A few thoughts here. We lost the concept of written correspondence some 15 years ago.  Back in the day, we wrote memos/letters/minute sheets.  We even had a round trip memorandum form.  No one blew their nose without a message being cut (remember ETA messages when a mbr was enroute on...

it really depends on the context.  if it is being held against you, I would be inclined to say no.  if it was being used to segue into a positive statement, then maybe.  if you were my top performer last yr but had some med issues this yr that kept you from being your normal Exempt, parade...

Caution on any generalized comments disparaging the beloved beaver as the stuffed Canadian beaver has never hurt anyone, but it has admittedly broken the occasional heart.....    ;)  For the younger folks, no this is not any reference to the Engineering world.....  I will hang my hat on...

:rofl: Too funny.  I might try this at work when yet another smoke break drags past 10 minutes.  Could add a recording "get back to work". 

Any accrued or accumulated leave still sitting in your pocket??

Sleep is over rated anyway.......

I 100% agree.  There are no secrets in the military.  Whenever I am away from home, I make it a point of never placing myself in a position where anyone could infer that something was up.  Regretfully, our military is very small and me chatting to e.g. some blonde in Borden on course at the Mess...

I was sitting in a cab approaching Elgin just arriving on TD.  Stuck in traffic, then heard a boom.  I just assumed it was the sound of morale in Ottawa hitting bottom......  :(

I totally agree.  We do this to ourselves.  You need to have analysis and review at the base level.  The better the staff work at the base level, the better the chances of success. 

No side to pick. My point was you work your way up the chain when you do not get what you believe is an acceptable answer, or an answer that does not make sense, from Brookfield. I ended up with a successful grievance when I worked up the chain step by step and they all said "no" when I knew the...

:facepalm:  go see the mil IRP Coord if you do not get anywhere. This is nuts. Once again people, one of the reasons we went to an IRP type model was to eliminate a clerk in Comox giving a different interpretation than a clerk in Halifax. Brookfield was supposed to be the same answer coast to...

Better a helicopter perhaps not ideal for SAR than one not yet delivered or merely being discussed...  :2c:
