With a 1 year committment we would not get our money's worth out of the candidates.  Lets just wait and see how the DP1 Infantry course that 1 VP is currently running turns out before we decide whether a unit can even succeed at this anymore.  We are technically in reconstitution phase at the...

I think some units are using soldiers'  "Family care plan" as an excuse for their own poor planning.  As a supervisor, here is an example;  I call someone at 2000hrs because a morning timing has been moved up 2hrs or because I need an HLVW driver for a last minute 0500hrs task and they said...

Just because the 70's and 80's weren't kind to our members does not mean we should continue to treat people like crap for tradition's sake. If we, like any smart employer, wish to keep good people around then we need to treat them well.  That means appropriate compensation.  I am continually...

My wife's orderly room has decided that she IS entitled to PLD and set her at the reduced rate.  My orderly room also changed mine to the reduced rate.  Thanks for all the help with the CBIs.

WOW,  Thanks for all the replies guys.  I will have her take the above references with her to the OR in case the clerks there aren't certain of the entitlement and I will be prepared to have my clerks knock my PLD to 75% as of her new date.

That was exactly my impression as well.  I will wait to see what her actual message says re: move

So on a related matter ... My wife and I own a home in Edmonton and its our residence. I am a Reg Force Warrant Officer collecting 100% PLD. My wife is a reservist and she got a CT to the LDSH Since we already live in Edmonton and are not moving her anywhere, she will get no PLD and I keep...

How much of an increase is that this yr?

There is an EvilBay dealer from St Albert Alberta that sells those kind of boots new all the time.  Also Arid pattern cadpat tac vests, cadpat clothing etc.  He gets it two ways.  He buys tri walls full of "D" marked kit at auction.  Secondly, he buys tons of boots straight from Boulet.  They...

There are at least 4 mexe shelters still in use in Wainwright trg area.  I visited them in July to inspect them to ensure they had not collapsed.  They were dug in several yrs ago by CMTC COEFOR and we still use them every exercise for wpns caches and living quarters for our insurgents.

Still waiting...  We would probably have an easier time resurecting Machine Gun platoon with a dozen C16 automatic grenade launchers.

Ack, only mentioned because these things cross their desks and if against policy, would raise eyebrows among clerks familiar with policy.

Well, clearly this is happening with full career manager support (likely suggested by), as well as full Cof C support, including the losing and gaining unit chief clerks.  If this kind of thing is an abuse, it would have been stopped I imagine.

just had a mbr tell me he has been on IR since his base closed up and moved.  Now he is posted to a trg centre and is on IR from his IR posting.  Can one of the experts explain how this is possible?  I was under the impression that if on IR it ended one of three ways. 1. ASAP you move your...

Vern is absolutely right!  This sword MUST cut both ways, or not cut at all.  If the reasoning truly is "Mbr would be incurring food costs at home" or some such thing, then it stands to reason that we should all pay for food, all the time, since we would be incurring food costs if we were at...

i promise not to pee out the 8lbs of water  :)

My new ruck empty, but with its pouches weighs 12 pounds.  While not quite the 22lbs stated earlier, it is still a good chunk of the total weight reqirement.  Add the issued 3 litre camelback for another 8lbs and you really only need about 5 lbs of kit in the ruck and, combined with tac vest...

Wainwright currently allows troops that have chosen to live in the shacks to de-link and just pay quarters.  They are allowed to have the bar fridge and microwave that come with the room.  Those of us here on IR are currently seeking clarity whether this applies to us as well, or if we will be...

Simian, What does his being a resevist have to do with his comparison of our job to the Police job?  Wonderfully condescending. I agree with Teeps.  I went to Law enforcement college and see no comparison whatsoever to our responsibility or accountability when compared to a police officer.  The...

I bought a house in Edmonton this winter while on second language training after being told I was going to 1 PPCLI post course.  I recieved a posting message to 1PPCLI and my wife got a class B in Edmonton.  All is right with the world.... Career Mgr calls, crying for a Sgt to go to...
