    CoC: Give me your cell number. Bloggins: Here is my home number. CoC: Is that what I asked for? Bloggins: No, but it is good enough. CoC: With your land line can I send a quick text during the work day/at lunch to you if I need you to do something or need to pass some information on when we...

    Can I Be Released For Not Going on DP1 Trg Before Occupational Functional Point

    What do you intend to grieve? You agreed to do X by time Y. You failed to do so. You unit has the option of granting you until Y + 1 year. They chose not to. Just because an extension may be granted does not mean that it will be, needs to be, or should be. Why should they believe you when you...

    Retro Pay & Allow 1Apr 2014 - 1Apr 2017

    I don't know what you are trying to prove with your link. Except for one throw away sentence at the end of the AG's link there is no mention of Reserve pay. DND didn't even acknowledge it. The entirety of the rest of your quotes were about Reservists getting too much class B time. The AG said...

    VR Question

    Man, how do you expect to get an education with your condition? Right now the military medical system is doing what it can to help you and providing you with a paycheck so you can support yourself. If they exhaust all options you will be medically released and there is a system in place to...

    CF 4 x 4 Vehicles In Winter Warfare Should be Equipped With Track N Go System?

    I don't really see how useful these would be. The only things they will fit on are LSVWs, milcots and G-rides. Even a scaled up version would be incompatible with our heavier vehicles as the rear axles are much to close. I'm not even sure I would like to use these on a G-wagon. They look like...

    Moving to CFB Edmonton real soon...

    If you live on the economy (not in shacks) you get PLD. In Edmonton PLD is $684 or $513 if you live with someone else in the military. To make financial sense to live in shacks, the cost to live in the shacks (shack rent + storage rental for your stuff + the PLD you will not be entitled to) has...

    Too Big/Tall for Armoured?

    Was this guy a former armored soldier? Or just talking out his ass? While I am not Armoured, I am posted to an Armoured unit. I am 6'3" and see plenty of guys taller than me around the unit.There are also quite a few dudes with significantly more girth than me. I don't think the driver's hole...

    Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicle - RG-31, LAV Coyote, and (partial) G-Wagon Replacement

    Yes, there is going to be a Recce version of the LAV 6 showing up in the next year or so. It is designated the LRSS, unfortunately I don't remember what it stands for. Having talked to some guys in the know (I am currently posted to a Recce Sqn) it's new surveillance gear is supposed to be...

    Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicle - RG-31, LAV Coyote, and (partial) G-Wagon Replacement

    I am very much looking forward to an exasperated Maint Sgt giving a safety brief to the Sqn the Thursday after some guy has the bright idea that standing the tire up and rolling it off the top of the vehicle would be a great time saver.

    Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicle - RG-31, LAV Coyote, and (partial) G-Wagon Replacement

    The back of the vehicle is taken up by the engine. About half way back sits the rear sentry and they have a hatch. You can see where the sentry sits in one of the pictures I have (tried to) attached. The other shows the hatch open, it is immediately behind the RWS.

    The Canadian Peacekeeping Myth (Merged Topics)

    If that were true we would not have a military. Let alone one equipped with assault rifles, tanks, fighter jets and the like. Killing is unfortunate and something we should avoid when possible. However, if you truly believe killing is never required, may I suggest the CAF is not the place for you.

    ROTP at Civilian University 2004 - 2018 [Merged]

    No, Sig Os are transferred frequently, exposing them to a wide range job responsibilities and command styles. The Army places a lot of value on people having a wide knowledge base. That way, if a Sig O becomes a unit commander they will have experienced most of the jobs below them and seen how...
