Ditto from me. Head to the OR and the Chief Clerk will sort you out.  As an aside,  I remember being single with a posting instruction...good times.  I used to hair as well. :(

Sadly they are simply expensive as heck.  That said, it is an investment that will serve you throughout a career and can become an heirloom piece.

Epic...  We do it to ourselves.

5 Wing Goose Bay.  Back in 1997/8, Goose was the first CFB to be offered up for ASD (alternative service delivery) of base support services including air traffic control, IT, CE, etc.  The concept made sense - you do not have to be a uniform or public servant to replace a fence post, sweep a...

You cannot get caught up with what an e.g. MCpl RMS Clk makes in pay vs what a CR 04 working along side makes.  It is more about the support tail to generate and maintain a CF mbr.  The CR04 is hired off the street, given rudimentary trg (relatively speaking) in the specific job, then spends 7.5...

I was going to go on a Brookfield rant, then thought it best to go with a "we did it to ourselves because we write the IRP policy that we pay Brookfield to implement on our behalf" rant, but got caught up with some self pity "it really was not that bad when our admin staff took care of the...

I lived in the UK for 3 years.  You certainly heard mixed opinions when her name came up, but no one doubted her abilities.  She was ahead of her time and such a strong leader.  RIP.

I have a funny feeling that is what I am going to have to do, but still will have a QDJM problem. 

Excellent, thanks.  I am down east but someone is always going through Ktown.

Thanks.  Never would have thought of that.

Hi folks.  I have been trying to get the NATO OUP and QDJM ribbon from our Clothing Stores with no luck.  I have called around to a few other clothing stores but they too have nothing. The NATO OUP has a Libya bar that no one seems to have.  The medal did come with a ribbon, but it is smaller...

Nicely said and a very fair assessment!  The public has to appreciate the enrolment bar has long since been raised.  We are a professional force, not one desperate for any beating pulse.

The short answer is "no".  The CF can barely cope with intact families, let alone ex-boy/girlfriends.  The system will only engage and even consider altering its plan if there is a roadblock. Is there a custody agreement?  If no, there is nothing the CF can refer to in considering this case. ...

Hi AK.  No argument from me.  If all you took all year were simply long weekends, I would agree fully that you cannot unwind and truly relax.  So no argument from me.  To add context to my comment, I believe that folks need at least 2 weeks during the summer (summer is short, kids are out of...

My best advice is that Portage/Moose Jaw is the least of your worries.  You need to think long term.  This is the first of many moves where your loyal family will have to leave friends, quit a job, move schools, live in a PMQ, lose money on a house, be separated etc, etc, etc.  They make do and...

Attended the ARF Det Torbay NL mess dinner for the RCAF this past week. Awesome dinner with many great Regular, Reserve and Cadet folks in attendance.  Good reminder of what the total force is. We all bring value to this country when we simply break bread and enjoy vice compete.

Congrats. Does this increase the PLD?

Thanks!  I dislike the Amerspeak that keeps creeping in.

Exactly. I want to see folks give an honest day's work but the norm should be 85% or you do not have any surge capability for the true emergencies. The Cf needs to have a surge capability. I dislike calls at home for any issue that can be addressed on Monday and make this point known.
