Congrats. Still waiting for my response :( Did you ask to get posted? I find it weird that they would post you for like 4 months then potentially post you again after your 3s.

So on Tuesday I am receiving a medal and I am not sure if I need to do anything in preparation to receive it. I feel like I have seen people having mounts pre-placed on their DEUs so the medals just get attached. Is this the norm? Or is it good to just walk up and have it placed on me, or just...

That’s all I did and they said that was the last step in the process.

Mine went good. A few things that tripped me up but all and all it was good. I was told they would be done all the assessments in 4 weeks but couldn’t even give me an estimate to when I would hear anything. I’m assuming if it goes past the August course I’m SOL for the year. Does anyone know of...

Yup put my application in December 2016 for my OT and yesterday I just got a message asking for my background check forms to be handed in to the recruiting cell. Luckily I'm in a good trade right now and I am still getting sent on cool taskings so I honestly can't complain that much. If I was in...

Same :( Reading all the posts about people getting their MPAC interviews and I’m here a year into my OT twiddling my thumbs waiting for one.

They don't promote you to corporal before course? I remember always seeing MP students as corporals when I was being an actor for their 3s course like 10 years ago.

I could be wrong but I am quite sure that you don't get spec until your 5's qualified.

Same here! But they are only letting 3 people out of my trade. Best of luck to both of us I guess.

Where can I find the current incidental rates (ie the ~$17 a day for the first 30 days than like $14 per day on ward)? I used to be able to google CF TD incidental rates and it would be like the first one to pop up but I have having a hella hard time finding it now.

Yes, TD.

Well I am trying to figure it out because I am going on a tasking for 44 days, over two stat holidays (Xmas and Boxing Day) and I am having issues getting days off for it. As of right now I am working 24, waking up driving to the airport to start the task. When I am done I fly back and than...

Yes. I asked talked with my acting CWO today (actual one is on a tasking) and basically got told to let it go. So now I am asking this; Can I put in a memo asking for both short and special leave at the same time? I am going on 2 month tasking and I would normally just ask for 2 special...

What happens if you have PLQ already even if its not PLQ-L? Will they make you redo it?

Its quite simple. 24 on, 24 off, 24 on, 5 days off. We work 0730-0730. Pretty much eight 24 hour shifts a month.

No. Sick leave is calendar days not working days. If they tried that there would be a whole new storm coming.

Ya only sick leave and compassionate leave is reckoned in calendar days. Everything else is working days. The biggest issue is it was only effecting annual leave. Guys didn't like it but we dealt with it. It is now effecting short and special leave now to. Guys are coming back from courses like...

Sorry this really confused me. In your case, if "one day of leave equals 24 working hours", you'd be getting 25 x 24 working hours, or 600 working hours." Are you saying we are getting 400 more working hours off a year compared to "normal" working members?

You are completely correct and I would agree with you and move on but the precedent was set when we used to work 13 hour shifts from 1630-0730 the next morning and to take that shift off would only require one leave day even tho it also spanned two calendar days. Like I said above what I believe...

When we used to work 13 hour night shifts 1630 - 0730 it would be one for one What I think they are doing is calling the 0000-0730 during the morning we are done a scheduled working day because according to the LPM the definition of a working day is "a day of paid service on which an officer or...
