    Legal Cannabis Use in the CAF

    The CAF is not seeking an exemption.  So they will have to accept usage and come up with rules and regulations just as for booze.

    Enrollment: Swearing an Oath or Affirmation [merged]

    Ack, and I agree to your points.  I am the CO and I'd never know that DAOD was in existence.  Haven't heard anyone else in the Brigade mention it either when swearing in.  The Inf Regiments I know use the Colours.  Now I guess Ill have to find a way to get a current picture of the Queen in a...

    Enrollment: Swearing an Oath or Affirmation [merged]

    I agree the DAOD states what it states. However I'll also argue that if every CO who did not follow to the letter every DAOD and other rules and regulations of the CAF was jacked up for not doing so, there wouldn't be a single one not jacked.  Not saying it's right, but there are a ton of...

    Enrollment: Swearing an Oath or Affirmation [merged]

    Not true in my Unit.  We do them in front of the Regimental Colours.

    Illegal Border Crossing into Canada - Asylum Seekers

    Send all of them back to Haiti.  Then tell them to get in line like everybody else if they want to return.

    Retro Pay & Allow 1Apr 2014 - 1Apr 2017

    Further on to the last question, how is the amount handled for those currently on tax free status?  I'm guessing money earned before going tax free is still taxed.

    Hey All, I've been around from the beginning.  CO West Nova Scotia Regiment by night and shitty little jobs guy for the Brigade and Div by day.  Currently deployed somewhere warm so I will be on when able.  Welcome to all, especially the new blood.  Send me a question if you have one and I'll...

    My life is falling apart, don't know what to do.

    Does your unit know you are looking for work?  Sometimes they can help source some extra Class A days either in the Unit or through other means.

    Op IMPACT: CAF in the Iraq & Syria crisis

    I agree but we already break that model by having "points" that increase the amount based on time.  I'd be OK with a flat rate that increases the more you are "exposed" to the risk and/or hardship.

    Therapeutic Cannabis use

    OK.  Everyone to their own corner at least until the new year.  We don't require yet another thread with people bashing each other about Cannabis.  You want to fight it out, do so via PMs.  We (The rest of the site members and staff) are getting tired of it.  Big Fonts and questionable articles...

    Leasing a Car

    I'll second that.  I recently bought a 2015 Dodge Journey Crossroad edition (so all the bell and whistles) that would have been $40k off the lot last year for 26k this year.  In great shape with 20k km on it.  I know your budget is lower than that but check autotrader for some price indicators...

    Using POMV to fulfill you job requirement

    Just to make it clear to the OP you are responsible to get yourself to your work place and that is it.  (Bus, POMV, walk etc...)  Once you are at your workplace it is the employers responsibility to get you around if required (unless of course the terms of your hiring involved having your own...

    AB Wildfires 2016: Def Min Asked for Help

    Warning: Operation Honour violation in progress.  You may be offended. Didn't see this anywhere else, but I'm told this will likely not go well for the airperson (?) involved.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eemin7DNvYg

    CAF Combat boots policy 2005-2018

    Received my first pair of LOTB Thur.  Refused the zippered version and received the other style. First issue - The mondo point size I'm supposed to wear doesn't fit.  In fact the opening to insert my foot is too small for me to do so due to high arches.  The supply pers said that that was...

    Summary Trial Question & Discussion

    Just so it's clear, as I understand it whether the charge is electable or not can result in one of four outcomes: a.  less than a year has passed and the charge is not electable the soldier goes to ST; b.  less than a year has passed and the charge is electable the soldier picks his poison; c. ...

    Summary Trial Question & Discussion

    Unfortunately the MPs and their system dealing with MP reports frequently cause delay which results in something that could have been handled by a ST, going to CM.  I have routinely received MP reports 8 or more months after the incident happened.  One time at band camp the MP report didn't show...
