    CFAO/DAOD/TDI reference for work hours vs travel time- where to find??

    There is a civilian clothing allowance if you are ordered to wear civilians.  But I'm not sure how much it is, or what you need to do to get it.  I do know people who get it. If no one has posted by then, I'll try to remember to look tomorrow while I'm at work with access to DWAN.  I think it...

    Rations, Meal Halls ect... Merged

    2 more "for instances", both from our last move (administered by IRP, but still TB policy) Our hotel included breakfast.  On the morning of our load, we were told to be at the house by 0800 to meet the truck.  We left our hotel room in plenty of time to have a reasonable breakfast with our two...

    DND Civilians supervising CAF members [Merged]

    My boss is a civilian (a PG-05, which I am told is the equivalent to a Major).  And if you go up high enough, I work for Dan Ross, who is ADM(Mat), a civilian.  There are several military officers in between my boss and Mr. Ross. He writes my PER, but there are varying opinions as to who signs...

    The Gagetown Thread- Merged

    We did an OR move (non-IRP) in 06, but I think that the OR stopped doing moves the next year.  I *think* that IRP handles all moves now, even for members who have not reached career status.  I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the people who got posted onto the course after me (in 07)...

    Continuing Education: pursuing a Master's at RMC or elsewhere? pros/ cons

    I have heard good things about RMC, but I can't specifically comment.  The quality of a particular institution isn't the issue for a Masters, but the quality of the program(s) you're interested in at that institution.  One program could be stellar and another just so-so. Your profile is pretty...

    How is my posting likely to work?

    I can't comment on what will happen to you as an Int O, but I can give some clarification on the terms. OJT - On-job training - is an instructional strategy for granting all or part of a qualification.  Face-to-face and DL are other examples of instructional strategies.  A training plan can...

    Having a tough go at this

    Anny - I know how you feel.  Hubby is due back in two weeks and I have grown to hate having to drag the kids everywhere just to get errands done.  I found a website - www.canadiansitter.ca  There is a registration fee (I think it was $40 for 3 months) and sitters (over 18) list themselves by...

    Bob Probert skating for the troops in 'Battle of the Blades"

    Just watched - Probert's gonna need our help!  The marks the judges give don't mean anything tonight, but regardless they weren't strong.  I'm not a figure skater, but given that he skated in hockey skates and looked more than a little wooden, he's not going to win on his figure skating skills...

    Looking for answers....[Questions About Benefits While Engaged And On Tour]

    Just a thought - friends of mine did the quick city hall type marriage to get everything all legal for the military, then had the big party at the time they wanted to.  They even re-did their vows in the church.  They celebrate the second date as their anniversary, not the first.  Very very few...

    Ontario cpl net pay

    I used claim code 1 for both provincial and federal.  You would use the others if you have other deductions that the military is taking into account when they calculate your taxes.  Something like you're claiming the spousal amount or the equivalent to spouse amount.  What those do is raise your...

    Ontario cpl net pay

    I just fiddled with it a bit and got some accurate numbers.  I haven't tried with the download that you have to do to get the Quebec taxes, but I got accurate numbers (to a few pennies) based on my Ontario pay. It takes a few steps, but here's some hints. Use a mid month pay statement for...

    Utility of AOC

    Hey, no worries, SeaKingTacco! TDOs must defend CFITES, it's part of our cult!  ;D I don't get too many opportunities to talk about my job on these boards!

    Utility of AOC

    More depth is definitely required than pass/fail.  I would never suggest that pass/fail alone is enough.  Letter grades do tend to make people want to move towards that bell curve, though.  People start to scrutinize when too many or not enough people fall into a certain grade.  That's what...

    Utility of AOC

    CFITES does not, in principle or in reality, state that.  What you're talking about is a "normal distribution," or bell curve.  It's a statistical model.  Norm-referenced standards (which is what that breakdown is) are not part of CFITES, and shouldn't be part of a school's practice.  CFITES...

    New Baby on the way

    In the interest of family harmony for this and all future issues - she is you mother IN LAW - let your wife deal with it! In general, nothing wrong with used stuff, if it still meets current safety standards.  IE a 2-year old crib, no issues likely, as long as it still has all the pieces and...

    NDHQ Dress Code

    What I find odd is that a lot of the resistance to a civvi clothing dress code seems to be that it's more work to "dress up." Really?  Are khakis or casual dress pant harder to put on than jeans?  Are dress shoes harder to tie than runners?  And how can you consider yourself an adult and not...

    Bone hardware (i.e. screws) allowed on enrollment?

    Your ankle fracture sounds exactly like mine. I broke/dislocated my ankle in 2000, and I was in the Reserves at the time, so I was treated 100% on the civi side.  I did a component transfer in 2005 - virtually the same process, medically, as recruiting from the street.  Same medical, and it was...
