RIP Soldier

http://63.197.151.31/rubik25.pdf For anyone interested, this guy proved that any starting position can be solved in at most 25 moves. He is now working on proving that it may be even less than 25 moves.

http://viarail.ca/forces/en_condition_july.html Ok I found the fine print. Now, where is the fine print of the fine print.

Where is the fine print? It looks too good to be true.

As a reservist, you could be mobilized for domestic emergencies which may require living in remote places without access to specialized medical facilities for extended periods of time.  You can always visit a dermatologist/allergist, show the letter and seek their opinion. Some people can grow...

From his first post it looks like he does not want to go on tours.

You are correct, only one full day (+6) is allowed no matter if you have worked 6 or 24 hours in that day. However, some units will make you sign for a full day and then make you sign a half day for another random day if you have worked twice in a single day. This is illegal by the books but is...

Tu dois également être dans ta zone de promotion. Pour passer du grade de Cpl à Cplc le délai est de deux ans. Cependant, il est possible d'avoir une promotion accélérée une fois dans ta vie avec la recommandation de ta chaîne de commandement.

Hah, yeah I know, but in theory they should be solid.

It is not always a bad thing. Units always have to deal with limited ressources and sometime may want to spread them to as many people as possible. By taking two Class A members, they can split the money to more people instead of having a single one siphoning everything. At the same time the...

I was arguing other points.

Yup, as I stated, that choice explains in part the pay difference. Keep in mind, the Class A must have a valid reason for not showing up if it is a mandatory training.

I do not know if that is a genereal rule but here those on Class B who have to work on weekends or parade on a Tuesday night can take compensatory days.

I have already explained that "free" is not really free. When someone works 4 days/week on Class A the unit can then give a 1/day per week Class A to someone else thus the work of a 5 days/week Class B is done but you do not have to pay for the weekend. In the cases I have seen, no they were...

Class B is paid 7 days for 5 days of work + he gets annual leave. Class A is paid per day of work so for 5 days of work he is paid 5 days + 9% to compensate for leave. How is that same pay? I know some people who were put on Class A for 4 days/week so that the unit would not have to pay them on...

Yeah I know there are strings attached, so that is why I wrote "free" as in there is nothing really free. :) I know what justifies the Class B vs Reg force pay difference and I was looking for a similar explanation when it comes to Class B vs Class A as the Class A gets 71% of what Class B gets.

Since we are on the subject of pay, can anyone explain me why Class B are paid 7 days/week while they normally work only 5 days? Class A are paid per day of work and do not get that extra "free" pay.

On top of what has been already said, reservists are generally promoted faster than Reg force members as Res careers are shorter but positions in units must be filled anyway. If you are doing the same job as a Reg force member, why not join the reg force? I guess some want the best of both...

You should have been a little suspicious right there especially when things are too good to be true. http://www.snopes.com/rumors/thisisamerica.asp Check this link for the origin and variations of this chain letter.

Part of the CANFORGEN outlining the new CT process states It seems CTs are still subject to strategic intake plan vacancies, or am I missing something?
