I think the discussion is a bit of a dead one.  As a navy NCM, you pretty much never change your coast unless you ask for the change.  Even then, you're only likely go get that request passed of you're moving East to West.  Not that people don't move West to East, it's just not as common. ...

Check out:  http://www.admfincs.forces.gc.ca/pension/calculator_e.asp?sel=calc It will only give you the gross figure, but you can calculate the net based on fixed tax rates depending on what your final gross income was eg 15% on the first $37,178 of taxable income, + 22% on the next $37,179 of...

Not true airmich.  Level III has a 5 year lifespan.  If you don't renew it it's gone.  Level II is a 10 year.  The length of time it takes for the clearences depends on the workload of the agency performing the checks, and the priority of the person.  Although there are some cases on this...

For those looking at doing the CFAT who have lost their way with math, I would recommend looking at www.math.com It's a simple site that offers easy step-by-step instructions to get you back up on your basics.  Just my 2 cents.

Personally, I think it's great that Afghanistan votes for their own interests.  We're not there to help ourselves, we're there to help them stand on their own two feet.  If not supporting Canadian interests in a vote is how that is expressed - who cares. 

We've actually brought up the problem of not having DIN accounts for the past two years now.  It's gone up to Borden who is our highest authority, and they pass it back to the base since accounts are a local issue.  Honestly, it's something we have continually asked about and the answer is...

I'm sorry too George, this one is my bad.  Rigs got up before me, and I'm the dumbass who didn't check.  As for checking with my unit, I'm a UTPNCM student operating off of a Navy base.  They don't have the info (or are not interested in checking).  We also are not allowed DIN access (giving...

Good day all, Just wondering if anyone in the know has an idea of the dates for summer serials for CAP (starting May)? Thanks in advance for the info.

This might sound odd, but try and find a person on the east coast who is set to deploy and make a deal with them.  Talk to whoever is your BOR's task manager to see if they'll point you in the right direction toward a name, or get in touch with one of the local reserve units.  Make a weekend...

I come now, hat in hand, to apologize.  There are no Canadian Norms for the MMPI-2 or MMPI-A.  We use the norms as drawn from the US census and population from the 1980's revision.  My mistake - I was mixing the information up with the Weschler scales. 

Other than a Clinical Psyc textbook I couldn't find any further references.  I have sent off a couple of e-mails, and will get back to you with an accurate answer.  Although you state that it wasn't your information, it was you who wrote that the test was normed from Minnesota farmers with...

You're information is a bit out of date.  Canadian norms were done as recently as 2000 and data continues to be collected.  Even for the US, the MMPI-2 research began in 1982, and information for norming is continually updated.  Recent research on the MMPI-A (adolescent version) indicates that...

As someone pursuing a degree in psychology, these sorts of tests make me cringe.  None of the Jungian tests, whether they are the often used Myers-Briggs, or the smaller 4 question tests have been shown to be scientifically reliable (r>.80) at demonstrating what someone's personality is. ...

Good day all, I've read the CFAO's and DAOD's concerning LWOP.  I was just wondering from people's experience here, what the longest period you've heard of for going on LWOP.  Keeping in mind that there must be a benefit for the CF, do any of you know people who have gone on an extended LWOP...

Hi there!  Welcome, and good luck in whatever you choose.  I am a former NES OP, and if recruiting is stating that NES OP is in demand (which it generally is), it only means that they are short of people working in the positions right now.  Generally, NCI OP and TAS OP are short too, so it...

Your run speeds will always depend on the staff running you.  If you're looking for a guideline and want to be in the top 1/3 of the pack, I would suggest being able to run 5 minute km's.  Typical speeds (if there is such a thing) is generally between 5-6 min/km.  Of course there are people who...

Good day all, Just a quick note on the debate last night at UVic.  There were about 60 people there, mostly from the anti-war movement, but that's to be expected in a panel that they arranged.  I was pleased to have been able to represent 'our' side of our involvement in Afghanistan, and...

If I'm not mistaken, you will need your engineering degree from a university before you go to write your professional exam.  While CF training will likely help you vis-a-vie the applied side of the house, withought the degree and writing the exam, I don't think you're going to have much luck...

If anyone is around UVic tomorrow night, I'm taking part in a panel discussion about Canada's involvement in Afghanistan.  It's being put on my Students Against War at Uvic, and co-hosted by some other peace organization.  Believe it or not, they are trying to put on a balanced event.  They...

I think that it goes without saying, although it is important to note that we work for the government and do their bidding.  A panel of five ex-political figures who have experience representing Canadians, and who have in their own way, served Canada are in a good position to debate, discuss...
