His profile says Commander RCN not Colonel. That being said anyone can be here saying they are anyone they want to claim to be. A first post with no information to why the request is being made raises red flags. With no posting history no way to judge if this is a valid request from someone who...

This thread seems like some sort of fishing attempt. A first time poster asking questions about a serving/former serving member. We have no idea who the original thread poster is or their reason for asking.

I hope your lucky enough to get posted where you want but don't completely count on it. Even if your remuster sends you to Wainwright for your trades course there is no guaranty you'll be posted to Edmonton. By than your plans of "moving to Edmonton remuster or not" may not be a viable option.

Scuba_Dave as your just starting the process of remustering to infantry maybe your getting a little ahead of yourself. Go enjoy a holiday just don't be so sure that's where you'll end up.

What do you expect when the PC's kept flogging the same dead horse (2 elections) who couldn't win in a no horse race. OK Wynne does look a little horsey. :o

If your unit told you that it's complete BS. Quit your civilian job for a Class A position. ::) This BS in the past has cost the Reserves many good members. Civilian jobs are not only a 9 to 5 Mon-Fri exclusively timetable anymore & have not been for years. Usually when a unit goes this route it...

You do realize that you responded to a post that was last active almost 3 years ago?

Why am I seeing inconsistencies in placement of things on the uniforms? Same wings being displayed on both sides of the chest? Medals and ribbons on the left side of the chest?

As someone who experienced a couple NATO EX's in Norway (80 & 88) I found them to be a great training experience. A chance to work with our NATO allies and work in a fast paced environment. As for the environment it differs from Canada. I found far deeper snow & that was back when we generally...

It's possible. I knew one person who received her CD as a private.

I agree with part of this statement. What any other organization paid has no relevance as long as  it was not somehow tied to the time the member was still serving. But what also is a RED HERRING is anyone suggesting that a retiring member has done anything incorrect in claiming a benefit they...

That would be pretty tough as it's been leveled years ago. I believe a Shoppers Drugmart is there now.

This summer (02 Aug) at the Victory Branch Legion in London there will be a reunion for those who served in London. Here's a link to the facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/clairwhyte/ or contact: Clair Whyte, 769 Ross Ave., Sarnia, ON.  N7T 1K4  519-491-7031  Email...

I agree no leaked information. As for "may be embarrassing to the CoC" my guess it's only embarrassing to the chain of command due to it's embarrassing to the politicians. When the politicians feel any heat they start firing salvos at the easiest target which is the CDS. The CDS is a political...

pbi I can't believe that's the case in this situation in respect to knowing it was the Canadian anthem. He was standing on the ice right beside the singer and it was announced it was the singing of the national anthems. Lack of training and leadership I suspect was the reason for the lack of...

One other thing is on my pay stub it says EI insurance premiums not Federal Tax for the money that goes into the program.

George they collect EI premiums to fund that program not the general fund. Premiums are based on money earned as are the benefits. Problem is they also use these funds to beef up the general fund by making it harder to draw benefits. Leave the money separate and reduce premiums if surpluses...

I like the idea of leaving the funds in the program for which their collected and adjusting down the premiums if surpluses are getting up there. As for raising premiums for repeat users I think the system of reduced benefits for them is the way to go.
