Greydak - have you been in touch with a Transition Centre yet? The Services Staff there can fully explain the differences in benefits and services between a voluntary release, and a medical release. If you need help contacting your nearest Transition Centre, let me know. I would strongly advise...

I can just see the next story now..... "Air Force Leases Island Resort For Training". Citing a need for distancing measures the Air Force has leased a vacant five star resort in Jamaica as a training facility. Senior Officers insist it's not a swan, and the fact that the all-you-can-eat' shrimp...

PM sent - there may be a few things I can influence through my office. We've got Manulife and VAC liaison teams here. Brookfield is a different beast, and I don't think I can influence them.

Reading through some of these comments, I am not sure exactly what to say, but I feel compelled to wade in with a bit more background than many. I work at CAF TG HQ, and have for many years now. Every day I see Integrated Transition Plans done for the most seriously ill and inured people we...

EITS - I know.....think of poor CANSOF. Now that we can all grow beards, and buy our own boots, if we get Multicam we will push CANSOF to new extremes!

Well, I'm not overly optimistic.... After 20 years of the 'Clothe The Soldier' project debacle, I still don't have all of the items I'm technically entitled to. I don't have enough time left until CRA 60 to get all new items..... And Medicineman - the contract has to go to a mom & pop...

If his crew had been less professional, then Capt Gehres could have ended up as 'lost at sea' on the trip back to the US.

Mama always said 'stupid is as stupid does'.......

It is always best to be up front with the Recruiting staff and course staff about religious requirements - aspects such as prayer times, and dietary restrictions. When I ran a BMQ years ago, I had three young Muslim troops who asked for prayer time. One of them linked me in with his Imam, who...

Just in case....remember to vote Kodos! Twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!

I suspect that he will have a file opened through DMCA 2 to conduct an Administrative Review. I would not be surprised at all, given the importance of Operation HONOUR and the exceedingly clear orders that our CDS has given us on ending all HISB, that a recommendation for release under item 5f...

Friday 0200 hrs, Presidential Alert to the nation..... "The White House is out of covfefe".......

A quick check of two databases shows no Maj Robert Broughton, RCA, in the CAF. Sometimes the info isn't 100% accurate, but I'd say it's total bull. They guy she's communicating with could even be a scammer from India. Those CRA scam folks really like to ask for payment by iTunes gift card.

Hwyhtac, there's a chance my office can help. I've sent you a PM with the details we need.

Army 83, having gone through this for almost 9 years, here's a few thoughts: Brihard is quite right about getting the Legion reps to help with the paperwork. Make sure though that you list every possible impact (no matter how small) on your life. VAC takes it all into account when determining...

Admit it folks, we've all dreamed of taking an armoured vehicle for a joy ride through town! This young lad just found a way to live life large! Thirty years from now, there will still be a Mess legend about him.

Brihard, we are in agreement. From what I am aware of, PTSD has rarely ever been accepted as a cause for an NCR defense in Canada (I've heard of one case from Western Canada), because it's so difficult to prove the defendant had absolutely no awareness or control over their actions. As I was...

I spent seven weeks as an Attending Officer in a First Degree Murder trial of a WO who killed his wife. His defense was based upon an attempt to prove that he was Not Criminally Responsible (NCR) by virtue of PTSD. While FJAG is far more capable than I to comment on this, he did note clearly...

Mariomike - I'm usually reluctant to compare Trump to Hitler. I've always felt that the Bavarian Corporal was ultimately far smarter than Trump (all claims to being a very stable genius aside). I believe Trump is much more akin to Il Duce, a bombastic and overly narcissistic buffoon. His use of...

At the risk of falling prey to Godwin's Law, I would suggest that the current iteration of 'fake news' and it's aggressive attempt to disable mainstream media whenever it questions the Trump narrative, is more akin to the Lugenpresse tactic of the early Nazis. Any media chain which in any way...
