Moe: That was purely for the daily separation expense which no longer exists for those on IR. Prior to it's demise, If your spouse visited, on the form you submitted at the end of the month (can't remember the form #), you had to indicate this, and those days were abated from your daily...

Understand where you are coming from but, and semantics aside, as an example,  Naval units attached to similar organizations on deployment still fly the "RCN Ensign" and are part of the RCN hence the term "RCAF Roundel". Even the website uses the name. As for the colours? This has been in the...

I actually never thought of that and do not know the answer. One of the west coast guys on here might know though.

I tried answering this from work earlier but for some reason could not. It will be officially announced in the not too distant future but numbers are as follows: 1. Up to 50% 2. Max of $4K a year 3. Max of $20K in a career. This is also noted in the NCM PME/PD thread. For some things as they...

And don't forget the promotion to CPO2 of Tony Specht while he was with the Skyhawks. He is now Chief ERA on one of the west coast ships.

Didn't we wear a 50th anniversary pin of the War in Korea in 2002? I say it that way because my unit at the time was being considerd for one of the events and the vets kept reminding me that the term Korean War implies only Koreans fought in it.

Around 2001/2002, the STS CERA ordered the standby air turbines on the port MLO pumps disabled, the alternate pump removed from 'standby' and the on line MLO pump to be shut down on board TOR against the advice of the ship's IMCS Tech. Before he (IMCS Tech) could do anything, it was done. Thank...

This is indeed exactly what I was told this morning. Was it you who called me?

That is actually one of my queries into CDA. Again, when (if) that comes out, I will get it on here. Pat

Apologies for leaving this idle for the last few months but as many of you know, many of the initiatives looked like they may be canned. Happy to say that the program through Algonquin is still a go and something in the form of a CANFORGEN should be out soon (even though the cat has been out of...

...with assuming Xtended NFP, that's the standard first line for stoker retirement messages. There's usually something about a wheel spanner in there too! I never knew him until he was the CM and did have a bad run-in with him when he was CMS Chief but he obviously did something right to assume...

I didn't see this anywhere else. Sorry for the format (I am not yelling!). I cut and pasted off the message: SUBJ: RETIREMENT CPO1 ROBERT CLEROUX CFCWO MAR ENG 00367-03 1. AFTER 36 YEARS AND 10 MONTHS OF LOYAL AND DEDICATED SERVICE TO THE CAF AND THE ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY, CHIEF PETTY OFFICER...

I wonder if the individual rewarded with a CDS commendation for that last Brookfield contract will have it revoked. As for being cheaper, I am sorry but I cannot yet buy into this. Some have mentioned already the benefits to uniformed personnel (other duties, corrections/changes of a minor...

Occam and others: I understand the differring ideas on this. My brother is actually one of the 'listed' agents with KW in the 'book' in Ottawa. Like he said to me, many people (and realtors too) forget that the agent actually works for (and is paid by) the vendor. An agent not adhering to this...

I just went back and read it too and it is funny...in a scary kinda way. Save a few antiquated flightsim type games, I do not play anything like the games mentioned and have no experience in any way in combat but I still wonder where he got the idea that he could convince a group of seasoned CF...

Just to clarify a tad-Not my intent to start a pissing contest-I meant hard sea trades as well as Naval Officers. Someone said you would note early on in a conversation whether someone is 'seasoned' and you are indeed correct. I see a MS with a gold SSI and I immediately have a little 'extra'...

When I was in Esquimalt a couple years ago (only 3 days-didn't have anything to drink at all), I decided to go for a walk one evening into Esquimalt proper. Funny how all those years ago, stinking drunk, leaving the dkyd area I could always find the Tutor House ... but not this one time. It is...

How do these clowns figure they are going to get away with this in a military community?

Not entirely correct - You get mileage...period. How you get there is irrelevant, whether it by by plane, car, horse or bicycling or a combination...but you WILL get the $$$ value of cheaper of the two: mileage OR actual cost.

Is LTA not based on mileage vs cost of travel, whichever is less? As well, unless deployed, does it not cover travel within Canada only? I claimed LTA every year up until about 5 years ago (old, single guy!) and then twice when I was on IR in Ottawa and it was mileage minus 500km multiplied by...
