    Election 2015

    By "earn it" you mean drive the Canadian population to 4 elections in 7 years?  I hope not.

    Election 2015

    I'm sure if the CPC was leading in the polls and looking poised to win the election (minority or majority), many LPC, NDP and ABC supporters would be frustrated and showing whatever information they could to persuade people.  Anyone following this thread knows where Mr. Campbell loyalties lie. ...

    World Of Warships

    Wargaming puts out some decent videos too.  Here is one that describes the pros and cons of AP vs HE and when to use what in which situation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=1&v=dipcvKXStRw

    World Of Warships

    On Oct 19th they are releasing the German cruiser line and the Russian destroyer line.  The Russian destroyers are supposed to be quite impressive.

    World Of Warships

    I've been captivated by the Bismarck ever since seeing pictures of it as a kid, so I broke down and bought a Tirpizt.  The ship is awesome but is fodder for CV's.  Without cruiser support you are hooped.  That being said, the Tirpizt with a premium account will bring in just under 200K credits...

    Election 2015

    Unfortunately I don't think there is anything that can be done to persuade Canadians that Harper is the better solution.  With the changes in some of the polls, I think the more center viewing Conservatives are leaning towards the Liberals due to the fear of an NDP government.

    Disrespect by CDS?

    However the award was to honour the unit, not the CDS.  Shouldn't it have been when the unit was available not the presenter?  Especially when they organized it at the last moment, (I'm sure a few unpaid man hours of Recall and call backs where done over the holidays).  Then take into account...

    ROTP at Civilian University 2004 - 2018 [Merged]

    You can begin the application process for ROTP and remain a Reserve NCM.  However once you are accepted and are enrolled in the regular force, (to begin whichever studies you have been approved for) you would no longer be a Reserve or NCM.

    CANFORGEN on Pay and PIL

    It is not what the staff thinks, it is the QS they are held to.  If there is any leeway or wiggle room that the staff can use, 9 times out of 10 the decision goes in benefit of the student, and that 1 out of 10 usually has good reason behind it.

    Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels (MCDVs)

    When we tested the ScanEagle on the Glace Bay ~2010, the launcher, catcher took up the whole sweep deck (quarterdeck) of the MCDV.  The legs of the devices were criss-crossed as well, making it interesting to maneuver around them.  The units themselves were tied down with chain ties, (borrowed...

    Ordered to work on days off?

    I agree with part of your in your scenario, but that was not the scenario the OP presented.  He asked if he could be ordered from home.  At home, while not being paid, he is not subject to the NDA.  Any negative action resulting from the OP not complying with such requests (i.e. calls at home...

    Ordered to work on days off?

    Technically you can only disobey a direct command while you are subject to the NDA.  As a reservist you are only subject to that code while on Class A, B, or C service, or when on military property.  So could you be ordered to perform a task while not being employed to do so, I would say no, not...

    I am a CAF member & I want better pay and benefits (a merged thread)

    The salt rub in the wound is "authorized to move their household goods and effects at public expense for that Class B or C Reserve Service".  Reservists are only authorized the move during their first contract/SOU which is normally ~2yrs.  When the next contract comes in the Reservists (if they...

    Allowances - Post Living Differential (PLD) [MERGED]

    $51,000.00 / 12 Months / $660 PLD Halifax Zone = ~6.4 years of PLD. I don't remember when the PLD increased to it's current rate, but this is around what PLD currently pays out over ~6 years.  Bottom line it would be nice to see this system take the hit for this oversight, but you have to...

    Allowances - Post Living Differential (PLD) [MERGED]

    Unfortunately that is not the case anymore, (at least as briefed to and explained to me).  I will attempt to dig up my e-mails.  In 2008 my wife switched from Res to Reg through ROTP as a Reservist not entitled to PLD (from the local area) and day one began collecting PLD (as did her peers in...
