GMTA - that's the hashtag I used!

Excellent! Sharing on Facebook and Twitter.

^^that's from the Backgrounder.  I read that as "people who don't want to, will be leaving."  Some of the 4800 will be "rebalanced" via attrition, but not all.  :-\ not good news, that's for sure.

So here is some good news!  My husband's OR got his file back from Ottawa last week.  He's got Reserve and Reg time and is taking 100%.  OR said it could be paid out by end-Sept or mid Oct.  The only glitch in his is that he's been posted, so his old unit has to forward it to his new unit for...

RIP Shawn. I worked with him when he was an Arty reservist.  Hit my tight-knit former battery pretty hard.

It's available through DLN, not DND Learn, actually.  dln-rad.mil.ca  Once you're logged in to DLN, enter "AJSO" in the search box and you should find it. 

My gap in knowledge is between our branch and the recruiting system.  I know, as an experienced TDO, what would or would not work in terms of previous experience.  I have a pretty good feel from talking to our senior TDOs what kind of person we want.  But - the career counselors aren't TDOs...

Hi.  I'm a TDO! For Direct Entry, an MEd is pretty much a requirement. You don't say what other experience you have, it is possible that work experience in adult education and/or workplace training could do it.  The fact that your research in your Masters is in a related area is helpful.  But...

^^That's the actual process.  There is a step between your steps 2 and 3 - the ILP is approved, then funding is approved year by year.  I received two emails, one saying the ILP is approved, the next saying my funding for academic year XX-XX was approved.  Then each year, another email for...

:(  My 12 year old has just started Air Cadets, and hasn't even been up in a glider yet.  He can't wait to get into ground school...I sure hope they don't cut it.

There is a CANARMYGEN (new name for CANLANDGENs for those who haven't heard) coming re AJSO soon.  It's out for translation now. In a nutshell - 3 modules.  Mod 1 and 2 by DL, mod 3 by OJT.  I'm recently posted, and am still learning, but I am in a position to be able to provide some details...

Just making sure that everyone is clear on the terminology.  An "approved ILP" is the entire course of study, going out x number of years, to the completion of a diploma or degree or certificate.  No funding is approved with an ILP.  Those with approved ILPs then get funding approved on a year...

NO!!!! I'm finished my program, but watching closely as a TDO, and the spouse of a member halfway finished a degree. An approved ILP is not a guarantee of funding from year to year - that is not new.  A statement to that end is in the original approval for your ILP, and in each year's funding...

^^THAT seems highly probable.  I was a Cl A reservist in the "detached subunit" of a Res Unit, and when RHQ stopped using our UIC when referring to us, I warned that it was a bad idea.  Given my experience, I could see the Reg F RSS posting message saying "posted to Unit" (with the UIC of the...

As far as I can see, some of them do still exist, but they're hard to find. They are being phased out, into DAODs, like CFAOs For example - CPAO 9.01 Employee Training has been superceeded by DAOD 5031-50 Civilian Learning and Professional Development. Where possible, they're amalgamating the...

I recall talking to someone who went through this and remember one snag to keep in mind.  Quitting because you had to move for a spouse's employment entitles you to EI, but if you quit too soon, you can be denied the benefit. this story might have been somewhere on army.ca even...someone quit...

A lot of attractions in Florida have lower prices for Florida residents.  Significantly lower, not just a buck or two.  And I'm sure it's not unique to Florida, that's just the situation that comes to mind.  I've heard rumour of restaurants that have two sets of menus - one for the tourists and...

I don't think it's a "double standard."  The colleges are two different schools, with two different commandants.  Each can have their own dress policies. As to why each thinks their policy is the correct policy, that's a different question  :)

Scary, on several levels. So if a posting lasts longer than 3 years, all of a sudden, your child has to flip into the French school? Also, from the Charter of Rights and Freedoms - "Nation" or whatever they are within Canada, I don't think they can override the Charter. 

Both Log and Int are not entirely purple trades.  There are jobs within those occupations that are environmental, and jobs that are purple.  For either, you do a common component to the training, then an environmental component.  For example, as an Army Log O, expect the first posting to be to...
