bb17, How long are the terms for the Board members? Are the all 3-5 years? I haven't kept tabs on any of them, I know knew one of the members distantly from my time at 1 VP, but I don't know if the Maj is still on the Board. Is turnover a fairly common occurance? Or does it seem to coincide...

Anyone have any insight on the new members?

Well, I'm thinking that the Americans (in general) don't do any better when asked about us, so why would they get it right about a country their administration has been demonizing for what...nearly 30 years now?

Given the brazen way it all started, I can't see the crown going for anything but close to the max. I see his lawyer has already started the "it wasn't for the money" spiel to mitigate that. WRT the pay/rank issues, until he is found guilty and sentenced, the CF's hands are pretty much tied...

lol absolutely. You should have seen my psychologists face when I showed him the report  ;D. The kicker is he has submitted many reports to VAC and the VRAB before as he has been seeing vet's as clients for almost 20 years now. Never had a problem before.

I wonder if any senior hand-wringers from VAC or the VRAB are watching this? It turns their whole procedure on its ear. This mind set of presumption is exactly what VAC is supposed to do, but I have yet to hear them do it. The onus is directly on us to prove PTSD is a result of our...

Seems ok, I like the videos. Took me all of 2 minutes to set up a profile and about 1 minute to get a workout designed. Pretty simplistic, looks army smart. I see they are still missing some videos of some exercises I have never heard of before, hopefully that will get sorted out fairly quickly...

The Review hearing (the most formal informal process I have ever been involved in I might add) I think is what blackberet is talking about. As for not being in attendance at the Appeal, I thought I read that you could attend and observe the proceedings in Charlottetown, but not give evidence...

I agree...however that is a direct quote from the decision they rendered for my PTSD claim. The MO's word (who I have seen maybe twice in the last year) was worth more than the psycologists' because he (my psychologist of 2 years) was not a medical Dr. Like I said somewhere else, errors in fact...

Any group of individuals that regard a psychologists testimony as sub-standard solely on the fact that he is "not a medical doctor" deserve to be disbanded. This argument is similar to the Indian Act. Everyone knows it's broken, but everyone is afraid to get rid of it because there is nothing...

I'll pull that trigger. I've got one at the appeal stage now, just got my letter from the BPA lawyer. I am not worried about time lines as I know it will be awhile. It seems pretty clear (to me and my armchair lawyer knowledge) that the VRAB, at the Review, made errors in both fact and law...

Absolutely! After all, they can't all be like me  ;D Otter's rule!

Sidebar: Can't wait to see this remake lol North Korea now if I am not mistaken. Back to topic: None of us have heard anything on this, got my feelers out to higher in the Log food chain, see what I reel in. (of course Vern will find out anything first lol)

First place to start is DAOD 5003-6, Contingency Cost Moves for Personal Reasons, Compassionate Status and Compassionate Posting You have to have a real hard look at yourself and your situation in order to see if you fit the reasons for CCM vice Compassionate Status/Posting. Doing so in a...

Macleans' rankings are based on a number of factors, tuition being only one of them (by the way, RMC does have a tuition cost as anyone can go there. I had civilians in a number of my classes that all paid to go there, some were there essentially on sports scholarships). The rankings also...

I don't have any pics or maps of the area. If you haven't read the CO's Dancing with the Dushman (http://www.cdfai.org/PDF/Dancing%20with%20the%20Dushman.pdf) I recommend you have a look. Certainly made me ...... think..... a lot. :salute: RIP Chris, Vaughn, Bryce and young Dallaire. Arte et...

Mike is completely correct, there are many people in the CF with a speech impediment of some sort. One of my best friends stutters quite severely. Basic training was not overly easy (according to him), but it's not exactly easy for anyone (that's kind of the point in Basic really). He is also...

Your chance of challenging the tests for your journeyman's is largely dependant on which province you are in. Some provinces (Alberta in particular) has a high regard for our training and you are usually able to challenge after a certain amount of hours (sorry, can't remember how many). Other...

I know the sole-sourced items that have ended up on ACAN that started on my desk were full and complete SOWs that would pass any of their tests. Of course they were built to one company's product in one way or another. I can't help it if pretty much every RCAF landing strip out there has a...
