    Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccinations for the Federal Public Service and RCMP

    You are not wrong but we are at like 77% TES already. Even a small amount hurts. As I said earlier, it isn't about the vaccine for a lot of people. I have heard a lot of fully vaccinated people get pissed at this. I understand that our leadership is hampered by the political leadership but...

    Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccinations for the Federal Public Service and RCMP

    I have to say I would preferred being ordered to get the vaccine than the way they are handling it. It would be more honest. The military gave me my vaccines so why do I have to attest to my status? Because the CoC is not allowed to know the specifics of my medical status. Then they threaten...

    PaCE : Performance Appraisal and Competency system

    It seems to look like it was designed to make boards easier. The question I can't get an answer to is how does it help the members?

    Claim for broken antique vanity

    I hope I can get it repaired. It would be a shame to lose it.

    Claim for broken antique vanity

    During my move we had a number of broken items and the most concerning one is an antique vanity of my daughters. I can't even begin to think of how to claim that. Has anyone had to file a claim for broken antiques?

    Armyrick's Land Healing Farm...

    So I just spent the last week driving through hours and hours of fields. I was surprised how empty the cattle fields were. It was odd to see cattle within a hundred feet of each other unless it was near shade or water. All I kept thinking was just how badly the land was being used.

    What book are you reading now?

    I just finished Explaining Postmodernism by a Stephen Hicks. It does a very good job explaining the philosophical routes of Postmodernism back the Kant and Hegel. It also pre-dates the current focus on Postmodernism by about a decade so it doesn't seem reactionary. I have also just started...

    VAC wait times

    Clearly you are less jaed than I. I see it as a deliberate attempt to seem as if they are doing better that they really are. I don't think we are the target audience. They are pretty clear in their emails that they are working on files about 25 months prior to now.

    Liberal Minority Government 2019 - ????

    The Americans have a system where certain members have clearance to see classified information. When they are dealing with a national security issue, they will bring those members into to read the documents that can't be released. The members are then able to raise issues in the house generally...

    VAC wait times

    I need to see how they come up with these numbers. If they tell me they are on a specific month, I count forward until when I applied and my decision has always at the time or later. Now I am at double the estimated wait time and will easily hit 2 years before it is done. And I will immediately...

    Initiatives launched to retain and increase RCAF personnel experience levels

    That sucks. I know someone in the exact opposite position he works two half days a week with no real hope of getting better and they won't release him. It seems like the medical system will always give you the opposite of what makes sense.

    Initiatives launched to retain and increase RCAF personnel experience levels

    I understand the reasons behind it and it makes sense. Primarily I have an issue with the idea that Capts who fly all the time and are constantly on TD will be making the same as the guy riding a desk and having dinner with his family every night. Allowances are supposed to be compensation for...

    Initiatives launched to retain and increase RCAF personnel experience levels

    Lots of comments but mostly just anger at the way it was handled, locally anyway. I personally think it is a stupid move, at least with Pilots but I think SAR techs might have issues as well. It's overly complicated. They couldn't explain how it would work properly. It removes any incentive...

    Military, Veterans Affairs won’t pay for Air Force officer’s prosthetic leg

    I am a little surprised. It seemed pretty cut and dry that dropping your kids of at day care isn't military service. I wonder what the far reaching effects of this will be. I you drop the kids of at day care before work, because you need child care to perform your military duties, are you...

    Don't take that as a criticism. It sounds like you were doing yeomans work for your techs. It was simply stating the fact that a WO has access no cpl will ever have.

    Initiatives launched to retain and increase RCAF personnel experience levels

    The biggest spikes in release happened after the initial BIE, the 10-12 year mark and at 20 (soon to be 25). I can find the number on DWAN and I will try to remember to post them. I'll agree that most folks don't have a clear picture of their career but I will argue that it isn't for lack of...

    Initiatives launched to retain and increase RCAF personnel experience levels

    The CAGs are a good solution for the RCAF and retain knowledge on a fleet but they don't seem to address issue members have. Again it comes down to the biggest drain on our experience isn't beneficial postings for members. It is the lose of experience at the 10-12 mark and retaining pensionable...

    Initiatives launched to retain and increase RCAF personnel experience levels

    We have had a few cases where people refused to recommend a person and they just kept asking different people until one said yes.
