When I CT'd in 2005, I figured I would lose my points, so I ordered a bunch of stuff and I think my account had 12 points in it.  When they gave the entire RegF their intial allottment of points (right after Clothing online came on), my extra 12 points were still there.  But for some reason on...

One factor that could be at play is the geographic region for the cities in question.  One can drive from one city to the other and still be in the same geographic region.  If you leave the geographic region, you should be on TD, and be given R&Q.  You'll have to find the geographic region for...

So to follow his logic, all of us parents should wrap ourselves in bubble wrap and never leave the houses, lest we somehow get into a situation that will leave our children mother or fatherless? I guess parents who are killed in car accidents have no right to be on the road, either...

The calculation is 2.5 days of leave for every 30 days in theatre, plus up to 48 hours at the beginning and the end of the leave period for travel (ie your leave is not supposed to include the time it takes to travel from Mirage to wherever you're going). There should be Task Force Standing...

My husband is getting ready to deploy in June, maybe for 6 months, maybe for 9...they're still waiting on a decision on extending his and several other positions. He was told last week by someone in the J1 shop at CEFCOM that if he goes for 9 months, he'll get two HLTAs.  The first will be a...

If you arrive after about 0730, there is zero parking available for the CFRC to validate. I was just in the Albert and Bank area for a meeting and my coworker insisted we drive, cause he "thought" finding a taxi would be too hard.  Took him ~1 hr to find a parking spot.  We should have taken a...

Most provinces offer HS courses by correspondence.  If you take the credit that way, you can probably breeze through the course work without having to spend hours in a classroom (if as you say, you already know the material).  That could be a route if the challenge exam doesn't pan out.

Update - My husband applied for retro TAA under this CANFORGEN.  His situation is complex, as he is now Reg F and halfway across the country from his former unit and Bde.  (No longer on the Reserve pay system.) Submitted the paperwork in March through his current OR, it was sent to the Bde...

In many ways it does need to be a family decision.  My husband went to Bosnia when our son was 19 days old.  He was gone on predeployment training for a lot of my pregnancy.  It was just sheer luck that he was there for the birth, as our son was 5 weeks early.  My sister was going to be my...

Weird - I was just on the DSA site yesterday (Director Senior Appointments) trying to find out if my former unit still had the same HCol, since I found some pictures of her visiting us in the field and wanted to fwd them to the unit for her...While on the site I noticed this: There is a "guide"...

On the radio this morning... 10-20 cm of snow for the Ottawa Valley tonight.  :crybaby:

They don't buy it if it doesn't sell.  There are two things they will do though: You can claim Dual Residency (can't remember what exactly it's called).  You claim the expenses for keeping the house after you move (mortgage interest, utilities, someone to mow the lawn, shovel the snow etc)...

There was some official word on this from the CF in the 90s (a CANFORGEN maybe, I forget exactly) But the gist of it was - traditionally a "gentleman" is a "gentleman" of his own right, but a "lady" gets that title by virtue of being with/married to a "gentleman."  Hence, female officers/WOs...

MamaBear - you mentioned in one of your posts that your daughter and her husband own a house together.  Were they living together before she enrolled?  How long?  If they were common law for a year prior to enrolling, then she should have been treated as married the whole time.  If she owned...

Just got this by email at work: Condolences to all that knew her. :salute:

Winnipeg - I'd have to add Kelekis on North Main (incredible fries!!!), Alycia's on Cathedral (perogies!!!) and The Bridge Drive Inn (BDI) on Jubilee has the best ice cream in the world.  And Jeannie's Bakery - gotta have a Jeannie cake for your birthday if you grow up in the 'Peg.

Thanks, I did some digging around to see if anyone else had the problem, but it's hard to find stuff when the search term is "time!"  I missed that thread. Definitely wierd...

Mods/Mike - not sure if anyone else has this problem.  Hope I can explain it clearly... When I am viewing messages on the boards, the time appears to be 5 hours ahead.  If I am looking at the most recent posts on the army.ca main page, or on the forums.army.ca page, and then down onto the...
