I think I have heard this before:  "Stoltenberg stressed that any new NATO arrivals would not be in a combat role." [lol: 2016 - The Pentagon said Thursday that U.S. troops were in a combat "situation" — but not a combat role — in Afghanistan, despite a team of Green Berets getting pinned down...

Am I right in saying, where things get confusing for non-veterans (i.e., the general public) is that the Pension for Life that many veterans are looking for is in addition to CAF pension and a disability pension, it is a sum of money to supplement those who do not receive a 35-year maximum CAF...

Donation sent. Mike, thanks for your efforts at keeping this site a daily oasis for so many!

More often than you would think!  Child abuse, domestic abuse, rape crisis teams and hospital support teams normally consist of police and social worker partnership. http://wawg.ca/system/assets/attachments/000/000/173/original/Sexual_Assault_Protocol_Final_June_2014.pdf...

Each unit should have Standing Orders that explains the recall process and notice to move levels of the unit.  The latter will normally dictate how accessible members need to remain.  There was never an issue, in many units that I served with, to provide numbers which were shown as "Unlisted" on...

“The official reason for his not being able to attend is he was asked to be elsewhere at the time. That is what I was told,” said Elliott..." Perhaps he had a meeting with the Association of War Plans Architects. More likely he had to take a day to review his speech for CDAI and prepare some...

Murray spent many years working with CE at CFB Petawawa.  He was jolly fellow with a big, kind heart.  He loved a particular bar stool at the Petawawa Legion and many of you may have encountered him and not known of his time in uniform or on Base.  RIP Murray.  Condolences to family and friends...

Tess (if that is that your real name), well played and touche'. :knights: It is not my wish or intent to punish moderators past or present. I am not at all offended as a primate, or for being labelled a hypocrite. :salute:  I was posting in the spirit of brainstorming.  If I were to apply for a...

It is likely that you could/will revert to a MCpl (Acting Lacking) until you complete the Army portion of the PLQ.  There is no reason to take away the appointment unless you do not complete the requirement in the prescribed time.  It used to be 5 years from the commencement of any portion of...

George, It is funny that you mentioned the OR staff.  A unit I am familiar with recently re-instituted a monthly newsletter - there was no shortage of recipes, jokes, and other non-unit related submissions but getting people to submit relevant, timely content was like pulling teeth.  As I was...

Since the site is known as Army.ca why not initiate a process of duty staff based on seniority and responsibilities: CDS/Comd/Cmdt/CO - Mike Duty Field Officer Duty Officer Duty Sgt Duty NCM Mike used to publish - Routine Orders - site usage Special Routine Orders could be used for Warnings...

The challenge is that every day you spend in uniform takes you closer to the next mess bill, pay incentive, year of service completion and leave entitlement, won't there always be a requirement for a transition period to audit and settle the pay and leave books and calculate the severance and...

Deposit received and allocated to renos.

Max, That is great, you googled and found 3 recent cases of "disobeying a lawful command".  If you search "fraud" on the same webpage you will find 115 cases. That is why I suggested gathering more info rather than acting irresponsibly...

You could look here:  https://cfappreciation.ca/  or in this thread: https://army.ca/forums/threads/741.0.html In many cases it is a local authorized dealer that offers this discount and not the corporate entity, i.e., Rogers or Telus. The duration of the offer will vary with local affiliated...

MJP, If the items (i.e, civilian clothing) are government business-related purchases then I am not sure what the issue is. "So what happens if Cpl A is a stickler for the rules and puts his/her foot down?"  Hal Tar:  Do we really need to be specific about this, if so here goes... In...
