Operation HONOUR Destroyed By Cake Topper, read the latest headline in the National Post... I showed my sister the pictures (not the semi X-rated one), and she was in awe of the skill. She's done some pretty awesome cakes (including a Patrick Roy mask from his Habs days for one of my...

Tp Ldr's dvr?! He should stay with the veh. Take the GIB, take the GIB! (or Golf's gnr  [Xp) The pads still have carbon at the back...but it's not easy prying those from the hands of an RQ, they're expensive...

I may have mentioned this before, but it ties in to the current shape of the discussion. If there is to be advocating for separating the Corps into two animals - Tanks, Recce - then maybe the idea of "heavy recce" needs to find a new home, too. This was practiced at an ex the Armour School...

Moderators, maybe we should split the derail of the DA "top up" into an ELB discussion, and move the latter into the original ELB discussion?

From the Minister, extract from a larger press release: https://www.facebook.com/notes/kent-hehr/earnings-loss-benefit-allocation-pour-perte-de-revenus/979551942152884

No one is being "demoted". VAC can't take away the rank you held when you released. That's just stupid spin by Mr. Bruyea and the journalist, FFS. If/when the bill passes, the minimum any person receiving ELB will be 90% of a Snr Pte. This does not mean a Snr Cpl receiving ELB will be bumped...

Yep. Don't get tied up in the conventions of a cover page being X length. Have a look at the current poster for positions with VAC: https://emploisfp-psjobs.cfp-psc.gc.ca/psrs-srfp/applicant/page1800?poster=924740 Look at the heading "In order to be considered, your application must clearly...

Wake this one up a bit. Would anybody have and be willing to share their notes from some of the CAFJOD mods? I've been working to try to get them done before I get loaded on AOC, but the DL is painful. I'd be happy to share the notes I have for Mods 3, 4, 6 and 7. I need the notes for Mods 1, 2...

I second the "apply for pools". While many pools are to fill entry level positions (CR-04/05, AS-01), this is a great way to get started. Typically, the Essential Qualifications they are looking for are minimal (secondary school education completed, word processing experience, etc.), and IT GETS...

No, they do not NOT make a "final decision" on reassessments. As noted by recceguy, you will receive a decision in due course. Positive or negative, you will receive a decision. Should it be a negative decision, you will be informed of your rights to appeal the decision. Let's not cross that...

This is cut and paste advice I gave to a young lady fresh out of college on how to apply, and it's the same advice I give anyone else. Also, I will gladly proofread cover letters when I have time, to help folks out. While the c&p below it is specific to the job poster she was working on, you...

The initial or interim 10% is based on the clinical picture of your medical condition at the time of your application and, as always, is based on all of the information you and your health care providers submitted with your original application. Note the 10% is an INTERIM assessment - this is...

Continued professional care is expected with a number of medical conditions, including (and especially) psychological conditions. This need for continued care is also taken into consideration in the assessment of your PTSD. For reference, have a look at Table 21.4, which is fully titled as...

Those are called mail order brides. Buyer beware, even more so if shipped via Air Canada!

Bruxism is a weird one for assessing the degree of disability irising from the medical condition. However, the good news is, just because it may be assessed at 0%, doesn't mean you aren't eligible for treatment benefits.

Isn't there a club in Edmonton offering essentially the same service...?

Should you receive a favourable decision on your claim for depression and/or PTSD, it will not include any medical coverage other than treatment benefits for your depression/PTSD. IOW, if VAC renders a favourable decision and grants an award for your psychological condition(s), you will be...

The Government announcement was vague on the details about the increase, far as I can find in reading the announcements and the bill in parliament. There is nothing yet drafted and available from VAC following the Government announcement, most likely because the bill is still not through final...

36 Bde has the Bde Comd from Nova Scotia Highlanders, while the Bde SM is PEIR. My enrolment from the time I dropped off the papers to swearing in was just over three months. These days, it's a year. We were able to squeeze a couple new enlistments in, in under five months, to be on the latest...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but...if VAC has all of the information they need, you "should" receive a decision in 16 weeks - that is the advertised turnaround time for a decision. Psychological assessments do take longer, they are rather complicated and intricate. Just look at how it...
