That must be a development within the last five years, then.  All of the equipment that QL3 students would get a famil on is located at ATESS in Trenton.  Unless they've duplicated it all in Kingston, that is.

According to the latest course calendar on the CFSCE site, POET is 132 training days.  ATIS QL3 is 69 training days. I'm confirming the QL3 training location for you...stand by.

Unless something has changed drastically in the last five years since I got out, POET is in Kingston and ATIS QL3 is in Trenton.

If that holds true, then I'm sure I'd be gobsmacked at how much DRMIS must have cost us.

From http://torontoist.com/2016/09/what-to-check-out-in-toronto-september-12-18/ They seem to have the days/dates messed up, but at least you have the location.

You already know more about the situation than I do.  What I know about it was explained to me, as I'm personally not in that situation so I haven't had the need to go into it in-depth.  I hope it's addressed, but it does illustrate how not all the different scenarios for veterans are being...

No, the issue is that ELB is about to be bumped from 75% to 90% of pre-retirement salary.  However, for those still on SISIP, SISIP does not have the authority to increase the income loss replacement threshold to 90%, and nobody can order them to do so.  VAC doesn't even know who you are if...

I wasn't a particularly good high school student, though I got good marks in the classes I found interesting (and actually attended).  When I took tech courses in the military as a somewhat more mature adult, I applied myself and came in near or at the top of my classes.  If a tech trade...

I'll check with the PAO tomorrow.  Thanks!

No events that I'm aware of.  It was late - 2130-ish, well after dark.

Yup, flew right over Limoges a bunch of times.  The pot sweep aircraft are usually helicopters, or smaller single engine planes.

I don't want to (ab)use my DWAN access to operational sources who might be able to answer this question, so I'd appreciate some insight as to who I could ask "as a member of the public". Last night, a Herc (or I strongly suspect a Herc) made repeated, low level (2000' by my untrained eye)...

Military lasers, yes.  But higher power green and blue lasers may have a visible beam due to Rayleigh scattering (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_pointer for more information).  You wouldn't need to have the beam aimed at you, you'd be able to see the beam dancing in front of the aircraft.

It's actually quite easy to obtain devices with that kind of power now...which is part of the problem.  Check out http://www.wickedlasers.com/krypton, which is a 1 watt laser.  The laser on your rifle is under 500 mW, but probably much lower than that.

If your hearing loss is documented, you shouldn't have a problem, especially if you're in one of the trades known to be exposed to noises that induce hearing loss.  VAC does have an insurance mentality, but even they are aware that some trades are predisposed to having hearing loss issues, and...

If you have a recent audiogram, you can easily figure out if the degree of hearing loss you have qualifies (assuming it's service-related, that is). http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/services/after-injury/disability-benefits/benefits-determined/table-of-disabilities/ch-09-2006#a03

That's correct.  Hearing loss and tinnitus are separately pensionable conditions.

Read reply #156.

"Frozen" is a bit misleading.  We've had "frozen" pay before in the CF, but it's been because of legislation that imposed a pay freeze.  The current situation is that the bulk of the Public Service hasn't negotiated new collective agreements covering the last few years, so there simply hasn't...

You have to wait for the letter.
