    Good luck. I feel your pain. In the old days you did not have any advance warning until you received your pay and a big chuck was missing. In my experience you will need to pay this back. You can usually soften the blow by requesting by memo thru the CoC to pay back in installments. Your admin...

    A briefing from a local commander on Friday says that DND owes 2 billion dollars back to the treasury. One billion for last year and another billion for the next 10% of budget cuts. Interesting times coming for the army. He said that everything is on the table from PLD/LDA to closing of...

    5D Release

    Things have also changed for recruiting from over the last five years. The CF is taking only the best that is available.  Your record from previous service, albeit a major factor, it is one of many. I think they also looked at what you have done in the last five years to improve yourself...

    What do career managers look for in terms of posting after 3's?

    Another factor that is uncontrollable about career managers is their personal feelings on career progression. For example we had a CM that looked at what your second language profile was. He idea was that if you english deficient you went west or if you were french deficient you went to PQ, if...

    Do section cdrs want/need a PDA with info from their own mini-UAV?

    Need for a new Army dress uniform (Split from: Return To Old Army Officer Rank Insignia)
