Here is something to think about from a recent co-worker's experience.  He was nominated to go the National Health Care Leadership Conference in St John's NF in June 2018.  He is looking to retire from the military and is seeking civilian employment. He has many skulls and other rock band-esque...

Mark, There is a difference between having at various times 545, 100 and then 6 troops in Afghanistan doing a police training role and have a MGen commanding Regional Command South with 2,000 troops in a combat zone circa 2006-10.  Three interesting articles about the "police training mission"...

What I find interesting is that the Dutch withdrew from Afghanistan 2010: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-south-asia-10829837 and are now going back there.  The discussion/decision to stay/leave in 2010 caused a political storm that brought down the government.

I am surprised that the vehicle was able to reach and maintain 40 mph.  Is it really a tank-like vehicle, why can't the press refer to it as an antiquated armoured personnel vehicle.  I personally can't see the thrill of sitting in a driver's seat of a M557, although the video does bring back...

That would depend on the nature of the conditions on which they were posted to the JPSU.  Are they being medically released and the course is part of the transition and vocational rehabilitation plan?  Is it part of a Return to Work process after a series disease or medical intervention?

Yes.  I never believed in chirovoodoo before I tried.  He has worked miracles on my ears, back and hips.  Since VAC pays for the treatments I gave it a try and now I go back for monthly sessions.  No major adjustments, he only uses a small activation hammer on specific joints, see attached.

Case Managers can often serve as system navigators for a patient who requires assurance or information about their health conditions.  Speaking to the Primary Care Services Manager should allow the individual to be directed to another physician or a Case Manager for a review of their concerns. ...

Except that in the case of Oracle the system is closed for the first two weeks of the new fiscal year while a central audit is carried out to ensure the system count is correct.  During this two week period you cannot enter in the system. As well you cannot amend the previous year once the audit...

Does anyone have access to MHRRP, Chapter 16 which according to CAF Leave Policy Manual has more info on the CF100 Leave Request Form.  Is CF 100 (09-00), 7530-21-899-4371 the most current form in use? Good luck to CAF members once Guardian rolls out since Oracle (Leave) and Phoenix (Pay) make...

Do you really think it is the chicken manure like Leave Passes, Standing Orders and CO's autonomy intends to create an invasion of troops personal lives that are chasing people away?  I know that isn't what chase me away!  Stop making this sounds so arduous and intrusive.  The reason I pointed...

If the purpose of the leave pass is not to track a member's whereabouts: then why is there a section that asks Address While on Leave and Telephone?  And why does it ask if you will be Travelling Abroad?  Why does the Instruction page state:  b. ''From''/''To'' blocks include leave period...

If I were the member in this case I would be more content with a Not Tested and an explanation than a Failed with no explanation, if the injury was beyond my control.

In the same way that VAC requests that you prove you were actually on the exercise/deployment, that you were doing unit-authorized PT, received permission to play intramurals through a published team roster, that people going to National Sports competitions on weekends have their CO's approval...

I guess he did not see difference...when I said "In this argument"! :-X

Dimsum, My analogy was for Max's normal argumentative style, which I think he acknowledged and not for the discussion ongoing in this thread.  Duplication of effort and redundancy are two separate things.  Having both a supervisor sign recommending and a superior sign approving a leave pass is...

Max I have always enjoyed how you as a pilot use the rationale - it is takes my time and it is unlikely that anything will happen so why bother.  Does that mean you don't waste time doing pre-flight checks and walkarounds of your aircraft and tolerate your mechanics not doing preventive...

Really look around you and see the full spectrum of tattooing on your peers in uniform.  If the recruiting centre is turning someone away because of a tattoo is the CAF really succeeding in an effort to hire the best possible candidates.  Scenario - I know you are an ultra-marathon runner with a...

Not sure what you are getting at: with Monitor Mass there is no admin burden. :not-again:  Stating your location clearly on a leave pass will pay dividends when things go wrong.  If the chain of command does not know where you are then it is hard for them to inform the CO who is readily...

Not many NPs in uniform, but the Capt/Lt PAs are filling new/different officer roles that are value-added.  For example a Capt PA works in the Directorate of Mental Health responsible for Medical Prof Tech Suicide Reviews.

Not Tested Bullet, then use part of one of the precious 9 lines of the performance text to state that "an injury occurred during Force Test prevented completion during reporting period".
