Spr. Earl. Why do you only want comments from Reg Force members and who do you define to be "the peanut gallery?"

Sorry. I never saw this thread until today. LFRR is still up and running. MGen Fitch is still the Project Manager. He is actually a reservist now. As part of the LFRR process, LFWA is working on a plan to embed an Engineer capability into the Fort Garry Horse since 38 Bde does not have an...

I wish that were true Slim. Unfortunately, most people will read all this and wonder what the controversy is all about, spend their whatever dollars a movie costs these day to go see it, and Michael Moore ends up with a very healthy bank account. Why do you think he's going around shooting his...

This is NOT the Army cancelling a program. This was a trial, conducted by the HR world within the Canadian Forces, that is scheduled to complete in August of this year. The Army is actively petitioning to have this program continued. The Army realizes its benefits and wants it continued as much...

They obviously think we're really dumb because their election platform regarding the Reserves was already announced in October 2000. They're just rehashing an old announcement. Here's the government policy statement that was announced in October 2000. Sound familiar?: "GOVERNMENT OF CANADA...

The Canadian Military Journal isn't too bad. You can find it here: http://www.journal.forces.gc.ca/ Cheers!

It's not a legislation, it's a human resource policy. I know a lot of police departments have it in their policies, but I'm not 100% sure that they all do. The Federal Government does have a policy that allows unpaid leave for public servants to attend military training. You have to understand...

But it's not too late for those coming in now. Yes, this should have been done sooner, but if you think the administrative process with recruiting is slow, you should try the administrative process of the headquarters in general. Things do not move quickly. It's both big P and little P...

I have the CANLANDGEN and the signed policy directive, however, these are internal documents and are usually not published and/or distributed publically. The policy is in place. There's no need for recruits to "check out" the policy. I also don't think it will garner any favourable impressions...

The training restriction applies only to a recruit who has been enrolled and has started their training and then Borden finds something irregular with the medical file. As to what the restriction will be will also be determined on a case by case basis. So once a person is enrolled, there is no...

Since light travels faster than sound, isn't that why some people appear bright until you hear them speak? How come "abbreviated" is such a long word? If it is zero degrees outside today, and it is supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold is it going to be? Why do you press harder...

What makes you think that being in the CF and learning the Med Tech trade is going to be any easier than going to school for a nursing degree?

The trial is not retroactive. I can't answer questions on the BMQ because that is out of my area of expertise. However, those applicants whose medicals are scheduled after Jun 1, and are deemed fit by the CFRC, get their testing done immediately, and bring in all the necessary paperwork that is...

Please read the new topic I just posted called "Army Reserve Recruiting Trial". It should clear up a lot of your questions.

Here is a message that went out recently regarding a new recruiting trial for the Army Reserves. It's pretty straight forward and will last for a year. It started 1 Jun 04 so will affect anyone whose medical is booked after that date. Don't hesitate to ask me any questions about this but for...

You can reach him through his publishing company. I don't know what it is off the top of my head since my book is at home, but you can find it at the front of the book. The publisher is in Toronto, that much I do remember.

I was referring to your comment that "they will be pouring more cash in soon enough". I too am a reservist and agree with the points you made in your last post, but that has nothing to do with your quote of pouring more cash in soon enough. I would love it, but haven't seen anything in this...

I always found that when I was away on course, all I wanted to do when I was there was to go home. The minute I got home, all I wanted to do is be back on course with my friends because I missed the camaraderie and esprit de corps that we had throughout the time together.

Who are "they" pouring in the money and that‘s certainly news to those of us working at Land Force Reserve Restructure. Let‘s not spread rumours here.

Well, both actually. But we‘re fighting the freeze for this fiscal year. It actually started earlier with the Government putting on a hiring freeze for all Federal Departments a couple of months ago. I honestly cannot tell you yet if we‘re able to recruit for this fiscal year. Right now, it‘s...
