Well there's 2 ways to look at this.  The first is of course to see if a buddy will cover off for you, the other is (specifically if your leave pass was authorized by the CO/Delegate before routine orders was published) Is to force the units hand and have them recall you from leave.  That...

The current issue BEW (Revision Sawfly) is aftermarket PPE. The difference being it has been tested by the bioscience dudes.  Just because you can buy stuff on the market doesn't make it inferior just makes it easier for soldiers to procure, far ahead of the national procurement process

How does this fit with the CDS CANFORGEN where Gen Hillier encouraged CF Mbrs to wear No 3 order of dress at any occasion where a business suit would be appropriate ?

I'll dispell some myths on this one.  The PRes Arty units are not expected to generate a gun bty per Area (yes they are but in a different manner).  Units have specific stream tasks to provide to their affiliated batteries. for example an indep bty provides say a gun det (8-10 dudes) while...

My suggestion is to contact not just some random person at the high commission but to make an appointment with Canadian Defense Attache Staff, they can provide you with a rather solid answer to your questions, the current staff have seen quite a few foreign applications from commonwealth...

Ok I have to weigh in given my former job in the military.  When they can make an off the shelf IPAD that is undetectable to the enemy I will jump on board.  But given that any off the shelf transmitter can be DF'd with very primitive kit purchased at radio shack this initiative in its current...

Soldiers in my sub-unit have lots of money tied up in 3-6 month old claims. (exact amount left out on purpose)

I have one Though shalt finalize claims and have them paid in a reasonable period.  NO! 6 Months is not a reasonable time period.  7-10 days is (on a side note in private industry they are usually paid out on the next closest pay run)

To play devils advocate I blew more than that in a single TD trip.  (not usually an advocate for the civvy side of the house) Why is it I wonder we only bitch when a civvy gets a beneift.  Yes veterans affairs screwed us all with the lump sum vice pension routine (although fiscally a great idea)...

Nemo, your 100% right on part and way off on part. Recovery is emasculating... really, no... really It's being on crutches emasculating too.  If your manhood is threatened by treatment you best not get injured again.  That said I suspect I know where you are coming from.  I don't really have an...

Further to X Royal's post, I can't think of a circumstance other than perhaps LWOP that a member of the Regular force would not be subject to the code of service discipline.

Another complicating factor, in my experience with the reserves (I did my OJT with a PRES Unit) is that the recruiting centres tend to process regular force applications first, thereby creating a back log of reserve applications. This in turn creates a rather large waiting period for PRes...

I would be careful about linking the 1.1 course to Gagetown, yes it is taught in Gagetown, it has also been exported to Shilo, Valcartier, and Petawawa in recent years

Baselined laptops are (supposed to be) designed to push through port security settings and connect to any active DWAN drop or remotely over the internet through a secure VPN.  If you end up having a port locked down for unplugging the desktop and plugging in the laptop the local IS Cell has not...

That my man I will not argue with you on at all.

Absolutely and this is where we fall into the cyclical debate.  The CF is not responsible for dependant health care, this is a known fact (although the CF Member lives there to and the CF is responsible for his/her health).  The CF is however liable for the health conditions of all facilities...

Yes CFHA is their own entity but the structures are still owned by the Base Commander and Base Engineer, they are entirely within their authority to have a PMed inspection of the property as any other CF controlled facility. 

Here's my take as one of the non-degreed officers.  The majority of officers in the CF outside those with specific engineering requirements are holders of liberal arts degrees of one form or another. All this simply means is they are able to learn things. Not prepare them to be officers burdened...

Allow me to use some experience to weigh in on this one.  Being a Gunner Officer and all.  3 of my friends (all gunners) have various science like degrees, and are all Gunners like I said. One in fact is a Math guy, another is BSc (agricultural sciences) we also have English majors, and History...

I know I'm weighing in late on this one, he was charged with 129, being An ACT/CONDUCT or NEGLECT to the prejudice of good order and discipline, in this particular airman's case the later, and there are many circumstances that would make section 129 offence to be electable.  In fact because the...
