I created a mission earlier this week that has not been approved yet.  So today I tried cancelling it because I got a better idea but could not the way I used to do it before.  Clicking on the missions tap it shows it pending approval but does not give me the option to cancel or edit...

+1 As a supervisor who has a subordinate in a similar legal predicament I have zero sympathy for the OP as he is clearly not taking responsibility for his actions and looking for scapegoats.  My guy at least took responsibility, sought counseling, resolved his issue and we worked to keep the...

Not for ROTP.  You have to complete High School.

You hit the nail on the head right there...  I had some peripheral involvement with the Strat Review back when I was in Ottawa last year and it seemed like the RCAF had YFR as a sacred cow where it was priority over just about anything else.

I know someone that tried to get himself released upon graduation from university, but before completion on BOTP to avoid completing his obligatory service and paying back the cost of his subsidized education.  Didn't quite work for him and he got kept as a GD OCdt.

However, if the mbr is attached posted to CFSCE for training, or is on IR he would still be entitled to PLD... The OP needs to provide more information/clarification.

I know someone in a similar situation (3 semesters left to complete his degree), however, this was during the big recruiting push (which is the opposite of where we are at right now), and the individual was going into trade that was red at the time (pilot) with already having his commercial...

Where I am we do a draft PER(narrative only, no scores), a form elaborating further on certain AFs and PF and a letter from the CO to the WComd.  I got a couple through in the last few months...

I was trying out playing AO from my Android table and, due to fat finger, i double clicked a mission.  The mission ran twice and it was followed by a sad panda and my morale went from 760 to -756.  Would it be possible to reverse this?

And how exactly would you deliver training to ensure that the officer corps has the analytical/ critical thinking skills to function at the operational/ strategic level?

As a first year ROTP OCdt, my salary was just over one fifth of what it is now as a Capt IPC 3.  For a year of salary at my current pay level the CF can get over 3 years of salary+tuition+ books at an accredited civilian institutions.  As well, there would be significant additional costs to...

+1 Unless we start recruiting 18-19 year olds  as officers pushing the training back later in the mbr's career would serve to cut 3-4 years of "usefullness" the organization can get out of the mbr.

How about writing a business case for the MND outlining why he should spend $50M in capital funding with accurately forecasting the 2nd and 3rd order effects... Ability "speak the same language" with the public service while representing DND...

I've seen examples of both (offrs that could not write coherent minutes of a meeting) as well I know an ex CWO who is a better writer in both official languages then most Capts and Majs, however, generally my experience has been that mbrs with degrees produce better staff work.

Are there alternative ways to develop those skill sets, sure there are. It is the old argument of whether to load the training up front or deliver it "just in time."  Could you hold off post secondary education until the mbr needs it (Sr Capt, Jr Maj)?  You could but it would be much less cost...

I never said that having a degree is an indicator of superior intelligence (some of the most intelligent people I know have a high school education or less), having a degree, like any sort of other training, gives you certain skill sets which are much more difficult (even with natural aptitude)...

I would wait until I got some actual TI and actual experience in the CF before making some of the statements you've made as you have not had the chance of actually working with Sr NCOs long enough to know what skill sets you can expect an average Sgt/WO/MWO to have.  I am not trying to take...

I am by no means an expert on the British Army and most of my knowledge comes from a crse I did with a few Royal Sigs officers and discussions with them.  However, I was under the impression that 80-90% of pers attending Sandhurst do have degrees (comparable to the CF when you take into account...

I disagree, the Inf O with an English degree still has much more developed analytical/critical thinking skills then without the degree, having been a PD, that is one of the most aspects of the job.  The PM course would give you to tools and the processes/best practices to be more effective in...

If you are only planning to employ an officer at the tactical level up to the rank of Maj, a degree is not necessary, however can we afford to maintain a separate stream of officers with the size of our force... I submit we do not, that is why having the was majority of the officer corps with...
