Just cause you make guesses and do not research does not make you objectively correct! The pension indexation rate effective January 1, 2017 is 1.3%.  So 5.0 - 1.3 = 3.7% which is almost twice what you guessed...

What I hear a lot is that VAC gives young people a lump sum and they spend it foolishly and what they really should be offering is investment advice.  If you receive a decent sum of money ( as much as half your civilian salary tax-free) there are many real options to seek out financial advice on...

The tone of their response has to do with the time between flash and bang for the AG!  Between the time that the AG started their research and they finally publicly released their recommendations the SSAV occurred.  What is evident in DND's response is - we know, we got this, thanks for stating...

I think we need to be overly cautious - when you ask someone to commit to unlimited liability they need to know you have their back when the system, their leaders or peers fail them.  As we so regularly point out, these conditions are not inherent in non-CAF workplaces.

I completely agree.  Creating that culture is not accomplished with policies and institutions, rather with consistent professional leadership, freedom to report conduct violations without fear of reprisal, and good role models who mentor their peers and subordinates..

I am not sure that the CDS was given good advice prior to making this statement, "I just signed off yesterday a Canadian Forces general order that will come out that will prohibit the release of a person who is suffering trauma as a result of harmful sexual behaviour until such time that they’ve...

The re-opening of CMR is part of the mandate given to MND by PM JT.  The Medical facility will be the similar in nature to what put in place at RMC effective 1 Sep 17. The re-opening was confirmed on 17 Feb 2017: ...

If Phoenix was designed to ensure everyone was paid in the same manner, then it is truly failing because the last report said only 50% of the people in the Public Service have had pay issues. Surely it should screw up everyone's pay at least once. Just a few reminders -...

chadk, A few questions - do currently go to your unit on work days or do your MELs have you staying at home?  If you go to work do you performance any of your normal duties?  The CO would only push for you to be posted and replaced if your MELs affect his unit's daily operations. It would be...

This may be of value to members of CAF to share when they finally secure a family physician or primary care practitioner. http://bccfp.bc.ca/news/working-enhance-access-health-care-canadas-military-families/ http://www.cfpc.ca/uploadedFiles/CPD/BAG_Military_Families_EN_FINAL.pdf Key...

I have always found it interesting that Question Period is like a badly rehearsed SNL sketch where the participants have to read from prepared notes and not even the feeble facade of teleprompters.  It would be much more convincing if this was a spontaneous Q&A in which the participants had to...

Some data could be quickly gathered by comparing the number of current Col/GOFO who have RMC undergrad degrees with the number who are DEO/ROTP/OCTP.  One Source: http://www.army-armee.forces.gc.ca/en/about-army/leadership.page, maybe someone else wants to search RCAF and RCN - for giggles. ...

I think the current generation's needs have to be addressed not only at RMC but all training establishments.  Isn't that why the CAF created the TDO occupation, which of course was filled with some of our brightest minds :sarcasm:

Christmas gift idea for Navy aircrew

Since you need a Master of Physiotherapy to qualify for this occupation, upon completion of BMOQ you would be promoted to Lt.  More info here: http://www.forces.ca/en/job/pdf/physiotherapyofficer-44 The recruiting page says $51,000 = Lt Pay Level C for Direct Entry Officers. Pay Rates here...

I have read this thread and know they won't have French cuffs. I was merely observing that the announcement said they would and it would be deterrent if it was accurate.

So if you choose to wear cuff links and some others don't, does that take the uniformity out of the uniform.  Maybe it is more like the variety of berets and styles that you see in a military unit, to each his own and uniformity is lost.  Having to starch French cuffs so that you could actually...

I am upset on behalf of loyal and patient PSC workers. The Phoenix folks said that retroactive and pay increases for Health Services folks would take from 20 Sep - 3 Nov.  Then it is announced on 2 Nov that they are going to need an extension of many weeks to get everyone's accounts topped up. ...
