    MILITARY RELATED CELLULAR USE BY RESERVISTS

    This is what I do, it's a conversation I haven't  had, and at this point it's a conversation that I don't want to have. I'm not really sure what my employer would say.

    MILITARY RELATED CELLULAR USE BY RESERVISTS

    Providing your orderly room is up to date (which has been the case for the two units I've worked at) why can't the Div/Brigade just pull all of this data from Monitor Mass/Peoplesoft themselves ? Why would they even need to ask you for this stuff? This doesn't make any sense and it poor use of...

    MILITARY RELATED CELLULAR USE BY RESERVISTS

    I'm torn of what to do. I get around 30-40 emails a week and it cuts into my day job. "Who wants this tasking, who wants to go on this tour? Response NLT 1400 today, sorry for the short first." The best is when the request was sent 3 days earlier and some in the COC "sat on it." For my efforts...

    Reserve Pension- Merged

    So I've just done this and I'm actually quite shocked what my pension is "worth" give the amount that I feel that I've put into it. The guy on the phone told me it would cost $1200 or so buy back my first two years, but by doing so it'd be roughly "doubling" the $1200 if/when I elect the...

    Forced to pay / belong to a mess [Merged]

    I'm curious, how much roughly are mess dinners in the reg/f likewise mess dues? For myself it's a minisucle cost that I couldn't care less. The savings on beers after work easily pay for itself. Typically for mess dinners I'll break even as it's always charged by rank.

    I want to hear about where your interest for the military comes from!

    I hadn't even thought about the military. I was at my Highschool's University night just for the hell of it. Every presentation was the same boring speech "Our campus has, blah blah." I stumbled across the RMC booth and was blown away by both the recruiter and concept of paid education. I...

    Employer and the CAF Application

    Lying is never a good idea. You said it yourself "I wish that they were on the same day". So why not ask the CFRC to reschedule your medical and interview to same day? Yes it will ultimately delay your application, but there is no sense in lying about attendance for a job that you may never get.

    RCN seeks Candidates for Skilled Re-Enrolment Initiative

    It's very interesting to see the comments. It looks like morale is in the shitter. In all honesty, I'm very glad that my CT took forever to be processed so that I was in a position to be able to decline it. It sounded like being in the Navy was a good go back in the day. "Hmmm back in but this...

    NCM with University degree

    Couldn't the OP move to Kingston and then join the reserves. From there he'd be able to take courses at RMC (on his own dime).

    2018 pay increase?

    I think this is huge point and people keep saying  "well Pte Bloggins could make more per hour at McDonalds." I've never worked a retail job where I could simply say "Yeah I don't feel like coming in, so I'm not." Shift trading/giving away happens, but ultimately you are responsible for...

    2017 T4 and Tax Deductions

    I owe money, but that's because my reserve income was taxed at like 12% on average or something stupid like that. So I just bought a bunch of RRSP's. Edit- my back pay was taxed at around 23%.

    Roughly 2 months for your DP 1.0 You should have your drive wheel prior to going on the DP 1.0 which is another month. Your DP 2.0 is 2 weeks (it's a joke). Your 1.1 and 2.1 (linemen) courses are fairly lengthy.
