I ran into a similar dental problem in Kingston after I switched. I was not given the rank reason (as if being an OCdt didn't suck enough really) but it was explained (as above) due to the length of treatment and the fact that I would miss so much of it due to courses every summer. However, my...

I've been lucky enough to be witness to 2 haka's (1 of welcome and 1 of farewell I guess would be the best description) and I was pretty sure after both that we were all about to be eaten. Just an incredible sensation to witness them. This though, is something else all together. BZ to the...

Ok so Monday is not done just quite yet, but nothing new that I have seen. I've been out in the woods sans 3G for the last 2 weeks plus so I had a bit of reading to do  :P I see that CANFORGEN 083/11 Clarification of Restricted Move was cancelled last week. I haven't seen any new info that...

You are absolutely correct, this will cost the CF, as a whole, a crap ton more money. However, the optics of stopping all these people that have been "abusing" the system as well as the optics of reuniting families long separated look quite good. Then we get into the different "types" of money...

Having been down the road you are looking at, it takes time. You can start university on your own any bloody time you want. However, I really do not see why you would want to pay for it yourself? There are criteria to it of course, but once you get to your first unit, go see your BPSO and find...

Prohibited basically you are screwed. No move allowed, few benefits remaining. Restricted (authorized) essentially leaves the authority at the CO level to approve the move of the family. Once the member secures accommodations, the CO can authorize the lifting of the restriction and the family...

We just got a message in changing the posting status of some of our students from prohibited to restricted (authorized). Some, not all. In line with what MCG is saying, this is one of those mitigation strategies that it appears some of D Mil C is going to use. Hope it carries on.

Let's all just chill a bit. QL3 students in Borden (and Gagetown) have been getting approval for postings while on course for at least 20 years (true story). One memo up the chain to request a move (not a contingency cost move either) first, then we see what happens. No need to email Uncle Walt...

Situations like these are why the whole IR thing is being looked at and changed.  And of course the cuts shouldn't bother you, in cases like these, I don't think there should be IR benefits. Bingo! When it really is a life style choice, then it should not be covered. Last year or two in...

That's interesting. I'm going to have a look into this and speak with my Doc during my next head space and timing check. Also going to look into PTSD Coach that they mention. Tools like this might be very useful, but it will be interresting to find out if there are any "operational" differences...

Exactly. If the cost of rations wasn't so out of touch with reality I wouldn't be worried about the students currently getting SE. And don't get me started on $1000/month for table service being "not bad," mainly because the members do not have a choice in where they eat. $600/month for...

Shatner and Wheaton? Cool. But where's Sheldon?  ;D Going to have to have a boo at this, live landing on Mars be pretty sweet.

I wish  :( Afraid I am stil 2 time zones away.

The issue I have with the timing is that families made plans based on certain rules and now these rules are being changed outside of the APS (Who picked 1 Sep anyway?) after arrangements have been made (leases for example). What I am waiting for now is a message coming out clarifying what is...

Now THAT is thinking outside the arctic circle. Excellent idea (and one of my favorite liquor stores  ;D)

LOCL: 10 Oct - 7 Dec 12 LOCS: 9 Oct - 7 Dec 12 LOCA: 11 oct - 7 Nov 12

Now, I am not very knowledgeable about underwater exploration of anykind, but isn't 60' kind of shallow? Instead of all these cameras and sonar and such, why don't we get a couple of divers in dry suits with some big honking flashlights and a shovel go down there and have a peek? Of course...

With all the talk in the defence procurement circles about counterfeit parts, it would be interesting to find out the details on this valve  :Tin-Foil-Hat:

Already drafting a "correction" and hopefully will have PWGSC reissue an ammended LOI. Have the HE section going over the requirements and will see what else they screwed up.

And it's interesting to note what we considered "destroyed." I saw some hulls redone that I thought would surely go the way of the Bonnie and be made into razor blades.
