I CT'd as well from the PRes and filled it out with the CT paperwork (at the CFRC). But I guess it gets missed sometimes. I have also had it reviewed sometimes (not annually, but when they did the PRV, I think 3 times in 5 years in the RegF). This year, when the people came by the house to...

My husband was in Afghanistan in 2009 and I (Reg F member) needed a signed leave pass in order to do our bookings for 3rd location HLTA (Disney World + a cruise = a metric boat load of money that I wasn't about to lose for lack of a leave pass). HLTA was in September, I believe I had signed...

I'll throw a few things in here, from the training system's perspective. True, we are not required to accommodate in the same manner as other employers due to bona fide occupational requirements based on Universality of Service. How much we must accommodate on this particular issue (learning...

I think the thing that helped the most for me was never going barefoot in the house. I wore runners inside for about 6 months. As soon as I started that, it started improving. I've slacked off on that now, but if it starts to flare, I go back to wearing shoes in the house. Second (I was...

runormal - I just wanted to point out that you'll need to consider at least one other choice of trade. You won't be able to keep Training Development on your list of choices. You're nowhere near meeting the entry qualifications for that - it's DEO only, and not part of ROTP. For DEO in general...

Separate from the SISIP programs (of which I know nothing about), there is a program called "Vocational Rehabilitation for Serving Members." There's a CANFORGEN, I'll post the link from work on Monday if no one is able to before then. It's DCSA that administers it. (Director Casualty Support...

According to the Globe & Mail article, he's a Private that joined in Sept 09, posted to Kingston. Putting all that together, he's not likely to have been to Afghanistan. I vote for "stupid kid" as the most likely explanation.

To say that Manitoba doesn't acknowledge it as a stat is not the 100% truth. It's not a Stat, but it is observed as a day off. Schools and businesses are closed. More so than on a Stat actually. There is legislation called "The Remembrance Day Act" (or similar, I forget exactly what it's...

The over/under 90 day thing for Class B applies only to pensionable time. Pensionable time: Class A and Class B under 90 are calculated at 1/4 time, Class B over 90 is 1 for 1. I didn't have any Class C time, so I forget if the under/over 90 applies to Class C. Leave: Class A is 1 for 4 and...

Bird's Hill Park, just north, closer than Grand Beach or Winnipeg Beach. Just outside the city. Falcon Lake, West Hawk Lake - east on the Trans Canada, an hour and a half maybe?

Mario Master Tailor, 389 Gladstone, does a good job with Mess Kit. I'm sure he's good with DEU as well. www.mariomastertailor.com There is a tailor in the basement of 101 Colonel By, in the North Tower. She's a private, civi tailor, not with clothing stores. She's good, and will be cheaper...

I think they are. I know my husband's shirts seem longer than mine, but they are also larger sized, so I can't say for sure. I know the cut is different at the bottom. Mine are straight across the bottom, his are longer in the front and back, shorter on the sides at the side seams. (A curved...

I'm going to read between the lines a bit. It costs a huge amount of money to care for someone who has significant disabilities. If she was working, she has lost her income. She may not have had any long term disability insurance. Likely she and/or her family will face personal bankruptcy and...

Borden is in Helena Geurgis' riding. Hmmm.

I've been in Ottawa a while, and haven't seen an Arty CWO in nearly 5 years...but I believe Arty CWOs still wear a cloth hat badge? They did when I left the guns in 2005.

The message says effective 19 April 10, so just under a month and a half would have to be paid back. April 19-30, and the May pay run has already been done, so May. Entitlement to LDA can change. One could get posted from an LDA unit to a non-LDA unit on the same base, no cost move, and be in...

Ours was the same - CT/OT at the same time. We were both trained in our first trades, but were changing trades on CT. The OR and IRP both just administer the move, based on treasury board policy. If you like reading policy  ;D you can check out the actual policy document...

Mine was 5 years ago, and through the OR, not IRP.  Shortly after we did ours, IRP started doing first moves, but I *think* I heard that first RegF moves are now back to the OR. Regardless this was our experience. My husband and I CT'd at the same time, so also, a bit different because of that...

NO - because on PATA you have to comply with EI rules. Which means any income you earn over about $100/week gets deducted from your EI. I don't know how the top-up portion works, but I would guess it is the same as the EI - you work, they claw back. (not saying you would do it - but didn't want...
