I don't often wade into to these types of discussion but a big piece of advice for you Avro.  Get rid of your attitude now.  Army Vern not only is a senior member of this board but is a senior high rank in the supply trade.  You might want to remember that. She very well may be your boss.  Her...

Skeletor Thanks for the link.  Had a look at the database and its missing some deployments.  For eg.  Op Pivot Haiti Feb 95-Feb 96 is not in the database.  So there may be others missing as well

No member is the CF belong to any union as part of the CF employment.  Nor do any one in CF pay union dues. Your pay is according to the CF general officer pay scale. In regards to compassionate leave from my personal experience with the death of my father and illness of my child , it's better...

Although my premie daughter was born 10 years ago and things could have changed since then, my mata and pata started from the time she was born.  Same for the next 2 children.  Your sick leave which is standard for all pregnancy's only affects our pay not the time you'll spend away from work...

Just of note CF 98's stopped being placed on med docs back in late 90's.  They are no longer medical documents and are purely handled via adminstrative chain. Ensure if you saw a medical personnel that you have the name of who saw you before you leave the clinic to ensure proper documentation.

Don't count on getting on the course in Jan.  You still have SQ ( soldier qualification ). I believe they still do this.  Only once both BMQ and SQ are completed then course loaded could be up to a year after basic.  There are many others sitting in PAT platoon waiting to be course loaded before...

Do not pay these on your own.  Take all bills including the past due notices back to the Blue cross clerk.  The blue cross clerk can let you know where you bills are at.  They can tell if you bills have been processed. If you pay this then it could result in double payments to the hospital.  Yes...

BGen Jagar has moved on from Surgeon General about 2years ago to a position in Kabul.  Current Surgeon General is Commador Jung who retires this summer.

I would highly doubt an enrollee would be allowed in with Celiac disease.  It's not just avoiding gluten but also the complication with ensuring the member avoids gluten.  Went through this with someone who showed up on deployment expecting the mess hall to accommodate their diet.  So how does...

General most posting messages don't get cut until after 1 Apr due to the FY.  All about where the money comes from.  If cut in March then its from the previous years budget.  Its much more complicated than that but that the nut shell.  I too am waiting for a message that may not come due to cuts...

Althought I do agree with  Recceguy (excellent post by the way) and PmedMoe, I just have to play devils advocate here and mention if your a homeowner (even if you don't have kids) your already paying for a form of childcare (thru property taxes) called "School".  So why not a national childcare...

I would talk to the orderly room first before you send an email out.  Remember that this may have been given out to you in error the previous time and if you push this issue you may have to pay money back.  Careful where one treads.

Serial 7: "Military service on secondment to another government department, agency or private sector organization in a civilian setting in which the wearing of uniform dress is unacceptable to the employing organization." This is the catch all phrase.  If the organization running the course is...

Yes Kat you do pay for health insurance from your pension but this is for the things that medicare won't pay for.  Ie prescriptions.

Funny I thought it was pretty harsh too.  So I did google searchs to see if any of our (Canada) politicians had actually said this (or similar)  but could only find references to it from the US congress. Not to say that maybe some of our Canadian Politicians feel this way just couldn't find...
