    Can I find out if VAC is discussing my case with other federal agencies?

    I am not sure that legally there is such a thing as "a tentative job offer".  Do you have written correspondence stating you were offered the job?  Or were you told you have been found suitable for the job pending reference and other checks.  With out a evidence that you were 'offered the job'...

    Keeping wounded in CF - merged super-thread

    The reality is that the Attorney General of Canada and Canadian Humans Rights Tribunals are going to squash this based on the National Defence Act, since bona fide operational requirement = universality of service = Soldier First.  Without it being universal then you can't prevent the enrolment...

    Keeping wounded in CF - merged super-thread

    IMHO the CDS is now in legacy mode and he will never have to reap the seeds he is sowing in his final year in the job.  Remember that Gen Hillier left us with the .com HQs.  If you can be retained with injuries does that mean all of those who were medically released can now apply to re-enroll? ...

    Soldier On Sports Recovery/Rehabilitation Fund

    The low attendance at the Opening Ceremonies despite the entertainment and the minimal tv coverage is unfortunately sending a message that although these Games are important to the participants, much like CISM or even the Special Olympics this does not have the same special meaning to the...

    Medical Chits

    It is a simple matter of what the QR&O and Medical Policy state: 4.20 - GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF A COMMANDING OFFICER (1) A commanding officer is responsible for the whole of the organization and safety of the commanding officer's base, unit or element, but the detailed distribution of work...

    New Veterans Affairs Minister

    Maybe Rear Admiral Newton can the ask Deputy Minister of Veterans Affairs, a former CDS (http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/about-us/department-officials/deputy-minister) why it is taking so long sort things out?  General (Retd) Walt has been there since Nov 2014 and it would seem that changing the...

    "Canadian Forces warns members affiliated with radical groups"

    Strike, It would appear that the RAdm get his info from the MSM, and not his Public Affairs Advisor, as he is quoted as calling it a "Mi'kmaq ceremony" as well!

    Old DCDS instructions question -needed for VAC

    Most NDHQ Instructions DCDS were superceded by DAODs and or in your case most likely many revisions to the Temporary Duty, Leave Travel or Relocation Directives. The most likely way to get a copy of an archived, superceded document would be through an Access to Information Request or by sending...

    My experience with the CAF mental health system

    You should keep in mind that there are no uniformed psychologists in the Canadian Armed Forces.  Any psychologist you see will have the same confidentiality levels.  It is very rare that you will self-refer to a psychologist, you will normally need a referral from a military or family doctor. ...

    Establishment of Commanding Officer

    Lumber, can you be more specific about the remedial measure.  The areas of concern IAW DAOD 5019-4 become: 1. If the remedial measure results from a violation of orders or a breach of conduct which is clearly outlined in the School's standing orders, there must be adequate detail in describing...

    Establishment of Commanding Officer

    As indicated by FJAG, in most cases a member on TD or Course for whom remedial measures are under consideration should be RTU and dealt with by his home unit CO.  As a minimum TD/School CO should be contacting the home unit CO to discuss the individual and incident to ensure a clear transfer of...

    What book are you reading now?

    MM, Reading the same. The frequency of the use of the 'F' word through out the book, kind of reminds me of the PPCLI WO (Price was his name) on my Phase II Arty.

    The Khadr Thread

    To bring this back on topic, IMHO criminals who confess to crimes should lose the rights on a sliding scale with the severity of their crimes.  I am one who believes in the death penalty for those who are murderers.  In my world someone like Khadr does not get a cheque for $10M, nor does he need...
