Wow, so there is still a chance mine will show up. Gave up on it as they told me it would only be a few months and gave me a 3 month temp which has long expired. That was back in Oct/Nov 2022

My experience point. Talked to VAC agent who recommended I talk to BPA about my claims so I did. Person at BPA attempted to send me to VAC. I stated several times that I had just talked to VAC, they gave me the phone number and told me to call BPA. She finally gave in and passed my info...

Nah - most likely been burned by someone not processing their invoices on time and then making them wait the extra 30 days when they did finally process it. Too often the invoices are received by bloggins and not passed to the accounts payable people until the vendor raises a stink. Then...

Can't answer for others on why they are firing up the outrage bus or why they become silent. I basically gave up explaining that it's not a claw back and having it for life would cost more, it is just to get them to CPP. It's great that either it was explained to you properly or you dug deeper...

shhhhh, we are not supposed to mention oas on here.

Hmm, have a meeting later to discuss so will bring this up as a possible In my case there isn't a lot of benefit out of it. Keep in mind that I will be 64 when releasing and for the most part the benefits of a med release are geared towards those much younger. Damn, I talked to the WO I work...

Bump DMedPol took approx a year to rule on my file. DMCA sent a notice to the unit during Christmas shut down that my file was with them for ar/mel, required I be briefed and complete the ack form. It also included a draft letter requesting retention under IREM. it should be noted that they...

it's amazing the different percentages you find with a simple search. From 34 to 60% depending on what the writer wanted to include in it.

you mean like computers were supposed to make our work less time consuming and easier?

and the Atlantic/east coast goes away!!😁 Ok seriously - where do you see that fitting?

it is correct that it will depend heavily on the trade. I have seen members go direct from basic to trade training while others have had to wait almost a year. I have on several occasions had the school contact me to see if I was willing to employ a member for a few months while they waited...

MARS O backstabbing was an absolute in the past, can't speak about now. Ever notice how many navy log o are grumpy? It's because they are frustrated mars o. :D

pay rates can be found online. Look for CAF pay rates, NCMs, Pte IPC 1 as lowest rate. The CAF does not have contracts, we have Terms of Service (TOS) for enrolments/Regular Force retention and Statement of Understanding (SOU) for reserve full time employment. A class B period can vary...

Thought that was the case. Old school stuff. interesting considering there are national instructions in regards to local area (geographical boundaries). Regardless that has nothing to do with leave as we are no longer restricted by it. We can travel anywhere in Canada on our own time as long...

They should have learned and done that a long time ago. Halifax armoury use to have a clothing stores for the reserves that was open Tue and Thu evening that was a god send for army reserves needing kit issue/exchanges. Willow park had area for some log and maint support along with the tpt...

I get the impression my post wasn't understood when I referred to civilian mechanics. I was referring to DND civilians not outside contractors.

Only question would be how to determine low income. Too often governments set a level that is not realistic to low and middle income. Are you sure they isn't some mixed numbers there? What requirement? I can travel from Halifax to Vancouver and back without one as long as I am at work on time.

Doesn't vehicle maint have to go to the civilian mechanics first? :D One of my brothers joined and graduated Cornwallis as an immediate Cpl as he was already a licensed mechanic. Was posted to Borden where he completed his 3 year TOS and pulled the plug as he hated it. His entire time there...

you can be usually to do things outside of your trade as FSA doesn't have a role on an ex. If you want to do the exs I recommend getting a SMP 404 as it does make the exs more enjoyable. i wouldn't classify deployments on ops as an excellent opp, there isn't really that many and most are...
