    Allowances - Post Living Differential (PLD) [MERGED]

    I transferred over in Aug 13 and was told that untrained recruits are no longer entitled to PLD, (policy change in Ottawa).  You become eligible for PLD once you become "trained in trade", for most trades OFP or QL3.  For me, 4 years of University then a 4 month trade course.

    Two MCDVs have been consistently tied up (extended readiness) for several years on the East Coast, (since shortly after KIN electrical fire in '09?).  One has been zero manned, with only the two Regular force billets being filled (when possible) and the other with whatever crew could be...

    SHADS....Where did it originate?

    SHAD = Suave, Handsome and Debonair. It is good to see some recognition for the MCDV sailors.  Being a very cost effective platform, those hulls and the pier head jumping sailors don't always get the pat on the back they deserve.

    What trade drives the big navy boats?

    Boatswains drive (steer) the ship, while the Officer of the Watch conns (controls the movements) the ship, (think nagging wife/husband in the front passenger seat telling you where to turn but you have to listen).

    Component Transfer ( CT ) - Reserve to Regular

    This makes little sense to me.  Every CT I've processed over the past 3 years the Reservist has kept their Rank level pay and IPC while they were OCdts/NCdts attending university.  Once they graduate/graduated the are/will be concurrently promoted to SLt/A/SLT to LT/SLt(N) and take the IPC on...

    Redress of Grievance – Mega thread [MERGED]

    The OP is worried that their paperwork is disappearing into a "blackhole".  My advice to ask for the registry number was to ensure it would not disappear again.  Feel free to keep rolling your eyes though.

    Redress of Grievance – Mega thread [MERGED]

    Once a grievance is submitted to a CO, the CO is supposed to call the Canadian Forces Grievance Board and be issued a tracking number for that grievance.  If all the paperwork is "lost", (hopefully you have retained a copy of your original submission), ask for the tracking number or resubmit it...

    Nursing officer enrollment/clinical placements

    ....and back to the OP's question. If you complete your nursing studies and join as a nurse prior to your clinical phase you would most like join as a SLt and be placed on the BTL.  You would do your 3 clinical placements in civilian hospitals as the CF does not have the same sort of...

    Some general Navy questions

    PLQ changed ~2008 so that it was equivalent across elements, (MODs 1-5 common to all elements, with the Army doing a MOD 6 - Field Tactics).  So I'm pretty sure your PLQ would be granted to you.  The major differences in the course would be some of the EDO's done in a NAVY environment would...

    Redress of Grievance – Mega thread [MERGED]

    I don't have the CFPAS handbook with me, but there is a section that deals with replacement PERs.  Basically you have 60 days from the date you sign your PER to request a replacement PER.  This is an alternative to a Redress and allows everyone to save face. What I suggest is that when you sign...

    Need help

    You originally said there were 3 incidents. I believe the issue that you perceive is that you tried to pull a fast one over on your school because you disagreed with their policy and got caught.  Whereas I believe the issue to be your lack of integrity, which reflects poorly on all Reservists...
