So we are getting screwed. What would you suggest being the best way to bring this up? Obviously through my CoC but I have never dealt with something like this. Or would it be wise to try and talk with the chief clerk at the OR to get a solid answer to this?

So your saying if I am working 24 hours Monday and Wednesday and I wanted to take leave, I wouldn't include Thursday as a working day because I am off at 0700 anyways?

Where is the documentation that supports this? Because all I have found is an annual day is for one work day. Some people have 9-5 work days some have 12 hour work days and some have 24 hour work days. The 9-5 and 12 hour work day guys get 1 for 1. Even when I worked night shifts which was 1630...

I am currently a shift working working 24 hour shifts (7am-7am) and we are being told that for us to take leave it requires two annual leave days to take off a single shift. We are also being told now (was find for a long time up until now) that short, special and holiday leave is now the same...

There was a thread I saw on reddit about a fallen American soldier having our jump wings and I saw a comment chain talking about CANSOF and people were talking about how our guys (CSOR, CJIRU, JTF) are not special forces, they are special operation forces. I thought it was a weird argument to...

So about a year for the whole process I guess. I put in my OT the minute the CANFORGEN came out this year (August-ish) and did my interview with the BPSO about a week after. Still waiting for the MP interview tho. How long after the interview with the BPSO did you get your MP one?

If posted, will the CF pay for large item disposal if I cannot bring the items into my new residence? I have a strong feeling I am going to be posted this year and if I am, I plan on moving into a one bedroom apartment and I'm not going to be able to bring alot of stuff (ie my entire second...

Rather than make a whole new post I figured I'd revive this one. Is there any information that can be given out regarding the SOF MPU? Are they basically just MPs in charge of policing members of CANSOFCOM or are they utilized for other tasks beyond what a normal MP would provide?

If you wanted to go to cold lake and passed the screening you will most likely go. I cant speak for others but I dont have any desire to go to cold lake because its expensive to live in, its isolated, its the furthest possible posting for me away from my family and I am a city boy so country...

First off I understand that it is as much (if not more) mental fitness and endurance rather than physical fitness but no one can deny that it plays a huge role in the role of an operator. In my opinion mental fatigue can be lowered through lack of physical fatigue. Someone who is struggling to...

No they were both TD taskings I saw because I was on the same tasking and his shows up on his MPRR as TD while mine doesnt show up at all. This seems to be the general answer I am getting asking around so I will go with that. Thanks alot guy.

I am in the process of updating my MPRR and my clerk told me that TD taskings do not get placed on MPRRs. However when I look at my buddies, they have them on it. They are from different bases so they are not dealing with my current clerk. I have accumulated over two years worth of taskings and...

Thanks alot for the info. Its relieving to hear.

I understand the information regarding MPAC is pretty secretive so I understand if I cannot get an answer for this. Currently I am in the process of OTing to MP from Firefighter. I don't have any experience in terms of policing or any schooling for policing. I am getting my OT through the BPSO...

Thanks

Awhile ago I found the fitness checks for CSOR and JTF2 and figured why not strive to reach the highest standards. I recently was able to max out on the CSOR one and am currently working on the JTF2 one but was wondering if there were anymore. Doesn't have to be from the CF. Any country would...

I dont see any situation where firefighters would be deployed domestically for USAR unless a major USAR team was hit in the disaster. The Trenton and Comox USAR teams are recce and surface rescue. In no way could we replace a HUSAR team. The only reason why were not considered light is because...

ff149 pretty much summed it all up. The halls from what I hear are somewhat hurting. I believe Cold Lake has gone down to three crews and Greenwood is down to three crews for PCs. Even Trenton is hurting in a sense. Take my crew for example. We have our PC, 1 Master and 7 QL3/QL4s. We are so...

That honestly has nothing to do with the shift but the crew chiefs and up. I have seen alot of instances where people were just signed off on their 4's package because the school needed people to fill a course. Oh I agree completely. The trade is so much different than it was when I first got in.

To take leave on a 24 hour shift requires two annual because you are working what the military classifies as two work periods. The only people who have a hard time taking leave are the WO/Sgts just because of the lack of them in the trade. As a QL5(which is still pretty hard to find many of in...
