    Single mom now facing medical release from military

    Side business means nothing.  I could name a dozen women in the CAF right now who also work through MLMs and other means on the side. I'm glad someone with experience in the trade spoke up.  I've not had first hand experience in that but have a few friends that have.  Much better for someone to...

    Single mom now facing medical release from military

    This is why I come here.  This has to be the most varied and well thought out replies to this article I've seen online thus far. Here's my take: 1.  We have to be careful to use the whole "I was able to manage so she should be able to" BS.  Or any variation thereof. ("I know lots of people...

    Libel comments on social media

    I think the term is "Nip it in the bud."  ;D But I concur.  I even know of a member of this site who was harassed on social media and where the members were investigated due to their comments on FB.  I've also had to report on such actions (as a third party) and aided in investigations...

    Pay: Statements, Backpay, Benefits, Deductions (Taxes, T4), Deployed ect... [MERGED]

    Nice.  This means I might actually be able to get on a deployment now because, as it stands, whenever I am away for work my husband can't work (long haul trucker) and no work means less money which means serious fiscal restraint (especially given the taxes I have to pay this year after taking...

    Former Canadian Soldier Wants to be a Reservist despite PTSD

    But do the guys and gals posted to the fighter OT sqn even get to go on exercise beyond domestic tasks?  I know for my own fleet they very rarely (almost never) get sent outside their AOR because their primary task is to teach and they are damn busy doing that.

    Former Canadian Soldier Wants to be a Reservist despite PTSD

    So, would you rather have that pilot then stuck in the training community for another 15-20 years with no exposure to any expeditionary ops or exercises?  What kind of instructor would that make? I'll tell you, when I was in MJ, the best instructors were the ones that had just come from an...

    Former Canadian Soldier Wants to be a Reservist despite PTSD

    My view - He has a pre-existing condition that has the potential to re-emerge given the right circumstances.  What if someone with Type 2 diabetes, who required no medication because they could control it through diet and exercise, wanted to apply?  We would say the same thing.  This...

    GBA+ training

    Unfortunately it's that mentality that disregards that the shoulder and hip ratio of women is different to men, so just shrinking the height of a ruck will not make it fit a woman better. It's also forgetting that every month (more or less) a woman's body goes through menses so keeping people...

    MATA and PATA ( Parental Leave )

    So, here's one for you.  I burned off all my leave anticipating starting MATA/PATA at the end of March.  But now going in for a c-section for Wednesday. Do I now owe days back?  And, if so, how many?

    Hyena Road

    Or, it's more likely that it was easier than naming the several dozen people that were involved at all levels, especially as none of them were members of CATSA (and they have some pretty weird rules when it comes to official credits beyond the 'Special Thanks to' section).  Keep in mind that...

    Why have CANEX? (Split fm "Up to 1500 military housing units ...")

    Nothing.  And that's not the question that you originally asked in this thread.  Stop moving the goal posts to support your argument.

    Why have CANEX? (Split fm "Up to 1500 military housing units ...")

    None that offer 0% interest rate.  Most stores will offer 18% at a minimum but they are usually 22-26%.
