  Rather a broad generalization, IMHO.  Are there selfish Reservists?  Certainly.  But there are also selfish people in the Reg F and I believe careerism is far more rampant in the Reg F.  There are also some consummate professionals in the P Res just as they also exist in the Reg F.   As an...

Howdy Mooo,   I can understand your frustration with the claims process as sometimes it can seem like you aren't getting the service that would seem to be merited.  However there can be several reasons for.   As an example, at one of the previous units I was at, the DCO made several very clear...

  All TD, overnight or not, within the headquarters area or outside of it is addressed in the Canadian Forces Temporary Duty Travel Instructions (CFTDTI).  Various regulations (CFAO, CBI, etc) regulate the TD as well as Treasury Board directives.  The CFTDTI are (or at least should be) available...

  Congratulations and good for you.  It can be a bit intimidating, reporting in for the first time, but in no time at all, you will find yourself doing and experiencing things you never even dreamt of.  Best of luck on all your upcoming courses.   And remember, no matter how hard things may...

My wife and I just bought a 2005 Hyundai Accent 5-speed.  It averages about 35 mpg highway and about 25 mpg in the city.  5 year bumper to bumper warranty and an excellent safety record.  Not the vehicle for cruising for chicks, but good, safe, reliable transportation that won't make you take...

  A good, sound policy on the part of the British.  I have read a few articles wailing that this is the end of civil liberties, but perhaps it is just actually the start of the collapse of PC.  Wouldn't THAT just be too, too bad?

Retired CC,   Ack, I should have worded "However, I am aware of a feeling of "discontent" for lack of a better word, on the part of some in the Cbt Arms regarding how the SWASM was issued" more carefully.  It wasn't my intent to indicate that the supporting arms and services troops weren't...

  Retired CC, an excellent post, no doubt of that.  And Armymedic's point is about as close to the truth as one is likely to get in a single sentence.   That said, I'll risk venturing into the lion's den on this one, so here goes.   Firstly, being a CSS soldier myself, I certainly don't see...

Retired CC,   Very valid concerns and I am right with you on the concept of families making an informed decision.   For my part, when the wife deployed on OP ATHENA ROTO 2, not only did I display such a banner, and proudly so, but I also submitted a proposal with prototypes through my chain of...

  Yes, it is time I took instruction from someone that thinks "Bravo Two Zero" is a documentary.    You are a sad poseur, walt.  Am I a scientist?  Nope.  Am I familiar with the scientific method?  Yep, learned it 20 years ago.  And by observing the nonsense you have posted here, I have...

  Ok goofball, where the H*ll is the racial epithet in my post?  A spade is a shovel, like what you have been hit over the head with, you dozy b*stard.  What I referred to being "un-Canadian" in my post is calling it like it is as opposed to beating around the bush and being nice to the mildly...

  I'll be the first to admit that I'm in left field when it comes to this whole Leroy Jenkins thing.  Don't get it and don't want it, sorta like herpes.  I'm a man that knows my limitations and can admit them.   Anyway, BS's theory about Michael Crook is hardly insane.   Ok, well maybe a...

  The problem here is that you're really asking the wrong folks.  While I am sure that a number of RMS CLKs in BC have the answer to this one, bear in mind that the Provincial Health Care Plan belongs to the Province.  They made it, they administer it.  So even if the OR staff tell you that you...

Definitely a valid concern that people displaying the banner would be targets for idiots.  However, I envision it as a purely voluntary item, something that a family chooses to do.  That said, I believe the majority of people would either not be aware/not care or would be decent and not pester...

  Very sad to see a man with honourable service debase himself and become a walt.  However, it seems to be more and more common for folks to wear medals they haven't earned or to wear non-governmental commemorative medals as the real deal.  Give him a break for his honourable service, but hit...

  In the US, families have for generations displayed a "Blue Star Banner" whenever a member of their family is deployed overseas.  More info on these banners can be found at http://www.fabrics.net/BlueStarFlag.asp .  Basically, these banners are a way for the family to show their pride in and...

You're very welcome.  Always better to ask than to be out there wondering.  Cheers.

I'm presuming you're joing the Reg F, so my response will based on that premise. Your trg takes precedence over everything else, full stop.  That said, if you are between crses or are completed your trg by that pt in time, you MAY be granted lve.  This doesn't mean you WILL be granted lve, but...

For an alleged offence relating to svc docs, QR&O 103.57 would probably be used, which refers to NDA 125 regarding wilful or negligent false statements on docs as well as omitting info in order to mislead. Also, don't be surprised if a charge under NDA 129 (Conduct to the prejudice of good...
