After having staffed numerous alcohal related AR files for COs and to DMCA, what everyone has said above is spot on! The only thing that hasn't been mentioned and for the sake of the thread (not the OP as I don't believe this is the case), NEVER hide the fact of being arrested/charged by...

From my time on IROQUOIS, the turbine fuel consumption was: Pratt & Whitney FT4A Main engine 25L/min - idle 150L/min - full power (trimmed well.. they be as much as 180L/min) - 25,000 SHP (about 15% more than the FFH's LM2500) Cruise Engine Allison 570-KF 5L/min - idle 25L/min - full power...

PM inbound. Edit: Re-read and after sending the PM noticed that you stated the member was released.  Glad to see the admin review process took hold there.

$1M per km would be a good price for the Upsala bypass route (Ontario does have a hypothetical plan for it on file).  The current twinning work requires an insane amount of blasting as it is all hard bed rock up there.

They used to do that test for MSEng/NCSEng DEOs along with the MARS candidates on NOAB... glad they eschewed those MOSIDs from it. Two things, get a good night's sleep before hand and don't drink alcohol the night before.  I found the questions on this test more vague and riddle-like than the CFAT.

In some parts of Ontario they allow a double road train (tractor + 2x 53 footers = max length 130ft?).  I have seen them rolling through T-bay last summer with a wow and wtf at the same time (probably used the 11 from T.O., as the 17 east of Tbay would be a PITA to haul that).

Typical NW Ontario jerry rig maneuver bad-aid fix for the broken bridge.  The full fix is going to be a mess, but because of the cold it won't be practical to start any real work until at least end of March.  Not surprised this happened back home; the area has been LONG neglected by the...

Actually, EPubs has a controlled goods access login option also.  The site has an email to contact to get access, which if you have your CG training AND Level II clearance, then all that is needed is your tombstone data sent in by your immediate supervisor supervisor's email authorizing access...

I am hoping to get a move soon back to Ontario myself before my current house's warranty runs out; but like most CMs the move allocation for the trade was reduced significantly.  Time will tell, got a CM interview in a couple weeks (at least this year I can use my office's VTC terminal... no...

Overall Davie pulled an excellent maneuver for coming up with Project Resolve - 18 months versus 7 years just to get some of our beloved RAS capability back.  Will be interesting to see what ISSC arrangement will come out of it if (*cough* when *cough*) the government decides to purchase an...

Damn.. more lickings for Mr. Wilks, good that more are coming forward.  I have had a couple medicals done by him back in my PRes days in Thunder Bay, he was an odd cat for sure. /// I'll leave the Thunder Bay trashing for another post... I left it without looking back for many good reasons.

<deleted irrelevant info> Edit: Found a 2014 copy of BTAGs, nothing useful.  Waiting for a response back from MILPERSGEN/SEM1 BTL cell.  Updated correspondence to ref CANFORGEN 257/10. Edit 2: Late night research found CANFORGEN 257/10 para 4.B.(2) applies in this case.  To summarize: From...

A redress would be suitable if the member was outright denied something... in this case it is a systematic failure of processes not being executed. Second note, yes this case is a PAD, I am used to using PAT verbally.

I will look into this more come Monday and make some phone calls...  if I get nowhere I will send a PM your way. As a side note, I did get to see the depressing rat hole called H3 where they keep the PATs housed.  I wonder who's behind at PMED or BCE was kissed to keep that building open, as it...

Engage your divisional officer -and request a BPSO COT/Medical file referral creation with a CO's cover letter.  Give a most recent MPRR from HRMS and FORCE test to your Div staff for inclusion into the file.  They can pull a copy of your CF 2088 from your PERS file.  Your DivO will advise of...

Hi all, What are the EXPECTED (not the in practice) service standards/timelines expected for actioning a COT file at 5 CDSB Gagetown?  Who should I contact if I have issues that need to be investigated? (min Lt(N)/Capt - prefer Maj/LCdr).  Last time I drafted a TRB file here in Halifax a...

For quicker research, use the wayback machine and point it to www.cmp-cpm.forces.gc.ca and select a crawl date that would have it in your favour.  PDFs won't work but if DND had it in HTML also the site will have it.  Then contact DND normally or thru a FOIA request for the official revision of...

Curious went went wrong with the engines if the crew was able to control them manually.  From the press release it looks more like an IMCS/RTU/PLA issue - most likely all hard to fix because no parts in system and unsupported by CFSS (same exact nonsense when I was on IRO). As usual, the media...

Even though this thread is old - it came up in Google and its info is still relevant. This saved me a hassle on my ancient DND Blackberry trying to surf the DIN.  WACCN's turnaround from my email to room booked was 20 minutes. Thanks army.ca for helping with a family emergency.

FSTO, I am one of those naughty officers that prefers NCDs despite being posted ashore at an office.  Often I have to go into Irving (which is a mess), some ship getting the MHP mods, and in quick fire meet with a contractor's senior management in Dartmouth - which involves a visit on the shop...
