    Earning Loss Benefit ( ELB )

    When I was going through the retirement process, I was given the Manulife paperwork with clear instructions on how to fill them out. Do this part, give the rest to your doc. Someone from Manulife will be in touch. I don't remember anyone explaining the difference between LTD and ELB. Yesterday I...

    CAF Combat boots policy 2005-2018

    THIS is one of the things MOST wrong with the CAF today - laziness. And what does result? This. I don't wanna do the work so it's someone else's fault. I once attempted to back a discussion at the front counter with a SAM reference and the MWO on the other side (Artillery) said to me "Son...

    CAF Combat boots policy 2005-2018

    If it's something like a systemic issue, a consistant failure they need to know. The problem is 4000 people have this "cup and toe" issue, 3 people actually put up a UCR. They see 3 issues and say "That's pretty darn good - we nailed it!" You can't fix a broken wheel until you know it's broken...

    Some Clothing Stores will have a beret, most will not. A sizing appointment will be made to get your DEU items ordered through Logistick Unicorp. You said you had some previous service? If you have a beret it would be very helpful to your cause - as DAA stated, they MAY afford you what they can...

    Armed Forces Consider incentives to keep soldiers fit

    I don't know how this fits, or even IF it fits here by a little story (true story): Back in the early 90s, there was me and another Pte. Shortly after him being posted in to us, he was "recruited" for lack of a better term to play CISM Soccer. That young Pte travelled quite a bit over the next...

    Good LORD Vern - really? Ooooowww... I can personally attest to Vern's tenacity and her ability to put up with ANYONE's poop. When she joined, I wouldn't say we never accepted women in the military, but they were fewer in numbers. I always said that if there were three guys I would go in the...

    Too large WHAT? Advise who? Whoa dere whoa dere... Last I checked, profanity and incoherent statements were not allowed on this board. That's it. Say it again and I am reporting you... I will now adjourn for steak.

    I would hope by now he knows my dry ARMY sense of humor. Not to dispair - I give ALL officers a hard time regardless of element (some are just easier than others..) That's what we crusty old WOs do! Now about those Griffons and Chinooks... does he happen to have my old address? Where my ex...

    Vac claim. Questions

    The nice lady at the Ombudsman's office who spoke to me told me that my case was really REALLY unreasonably delayed. I will admit, it was complicated, but we all deal with complicated on a daily basis. Shouldn't be an excuse given what it is. As I said, very apologetic. She said in her 2 years...

    Armed Forces Consider incentives to keep soldiers fit

    You are so right. Ever since I caught diabetes (yep. I caught it. there.) I have learned so much more about eating habits. I did the Top Fuel courses but they have nothing on good old experience teaching inexperience. I do love the suggestion because there are so many different things you can do...
