  Pension implementation has again been delayed. There will be a CANFORGEN coming out shortly. It seems the Reseve Pension (Part 1.1)  coming into effect date (CIF) will be March 2007.   It seems the present RPSR system is one of the reasons.    However there are plans to ensure that Reservists...

As a reservist, you must be paid thru the RPSR system which (unless I'm mistaken) must be at a reserve unit. To be on their system, you must be on their estb or be attach posted in (even on a Cl B A elsewhere). That is your affiliated unit and that is the accouterments you wear.

I think that some of those within the CF  highly underestimate the power of our artillery... and how crucial a role it plays in our ground ops.

One of the best days , dress wise was when the Army went to comabat as dress of the day. The principal WRT to uniforms is KISS. You shouldn't need a seperate storage shed to keep all your stuff. Forage caps are dead and buried as they should be. (thats is except for IGs and AIGs so dignity can...

  I can't talk to the infantry but I can comment on the artillery. I don't think the Reg F is to the point where they are self-sufficient in force generating the TFs and do and always will require reserve augmentation. As to a slap in the face for Reservists displacing Regs, I don't think so...

Wives sure do become killjoys after the ring goes on. Before that, they were that girl.......

  TF 1-06 is deploying in Feb with the workup trg running from Sept to Jan, at least for 1 RCHA. So figure it out from there. The Artillery will be deploying 1 Battery/TF, with two guns dets being reservists, so if you are a R021, you also have a chance to being employed in trade.

Good Christ. For him to understand, he'd have to get his "thingy" wet first. Me thinks he has to clear up the attitude before making any progress. If your going to take offensive to any perceived slight, time to grow up, grow a thicker skin, or make like the birds. Until then I'll put you down...

First of all (unless there has been major changes in the system) a 155 costs more then a 105  and that is before you add the fuze, propellent and primer. Once a gunner is trained on a gun (at one time not long ago all were on a 105 C1) then coveting to M109, LG1, etc was not a hardship and...

I can't see 155 coming down to the Reserves. No requirement. Training on the C3 and converting during deployment training isn't a strech. As for Shilo and hunting season, the land is actually leased from the provincial gov't and hunting season was part of the provisions. They may cut days off...

As for the guns being in TF 1-06. That should be interesting, because they don't have them yet, and as far as I know, 1 RCHA is using C3s and LG1s on the BTE. Which means that they won't see/have the gun until late Oct, early Nov and with deployment sometime in Feb cutting a fine timeline...

My, we have a lot of bitter and twisted people out there. Yet again, another Liberal/CBC/anti-West/Quebec conspiracy. As we are all fond of saying, wheres the proof. As in everything else, like getting a new CO/RSM, it is always wait and see. Past performance gives some indication, but that...

Economic Left/Right: -3.50 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.10 Right up there with Nelson Mandala - who would have thunk it.

      As Infanteer has rightly pointed out, these games are symptomatic of our direction as a whole. What bothers me is that a lot out there see absolute no problem with any of this, that there is not even the tiniest trepidation, that in virtual reality, cops are being targeted because of the...

      I think what people are failing to understand is that by using police as targets (whether they shot back or nor is irrelevant), they are further being diminished in society's eyes. They have a particular job within a civilized society and are different because they are there to serve...

  Politics has become so polarized that any tidbit has the Left and Right froth ring at mouth, complaining about MSM left bias and the "Right's" commentators having the only access to the Holy Grail. And ironically Rove is one of reasons politics is so cutthroat these days and therefore an...

Again you have missed the point. The Charter states: If you think its reasonable to say the Jews area disease, then you have greater problems then the "Party" conspsiracy. If you want to spew venom in private, thats your business, fine. Do it publicly, pay the consequences no matter if your...

Brevity and Clarity are key points. Take a business communication crse, or get hold a text. Writing a business letter or doing a proposal teaches a lot. Try composing a letter denying someone credit, while keeping their business. As for language evolving, I have my doubts. In in the money world...

So you wouldn't consider this a valid enough reason not to have the death penalty? And correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think child molestation is a capital offense. It is one of the most heinous of crimes, but because a isn't life is taken, one can not be forfeited. I think the error...
