    Ordered "to get a phone" / Contact Information [Merged]

    Making mountains out of mole hills! Explain to me how DND would be liable for the maintenance and costs of everyone's cell phones? Would that then entitle DND to restrict its use? This is a silly arguement, does that mean I have to send a carrier pigeon to inform work I'm sick, because Im not...

    VAC wait times

    That certainly makes me feel better, considering my claim is in from August! When I called a couple weeks ago, they were in June 2017, so they are moving quick by my measure! Kudos to them for working diligently, even if my outcome is not as I desire.

    CAF Specialist Pay [Spec Pay]- All Trades [MERGED]

    :goodpost: The way it was explained to me is your spec pay is calculated based on time in MOSID. This was frustrating for me because I am Cpl 4(previous time in another trade) about to get spec pay upon completion of QL5, and I would have been bumped to Cpl 2 spec 1. I am delighted to see...

    TCAT-PCAT info and questions ( merged )

    Looked through the forum, couldn't find anything specific to my question. Would a member on TCat due to a physical injury be precluded from attending QL5 due to said TCat, if that member can attend all classes and complete all coursework? I ask because the joining instructions list a physical...

    High Court to hear military justice appeal

    https://www.therecord.com/news-story/8316519-high-court-to-hear-military-justice-appeal/ OTTAWA — The Supreme Court of Canada has agreed to hear a case that challenges the constitutionality of the military court martial system and, if successful, could have dramatic ramifications for the...

    "MP's or Provost - An Idea on Roles" and "Replace base MP with RCMP"

    I think the main point I took away from exRCDcpl's post was that, while conducting a policing function, he was interrupted by someone of a higher rank. Although you are correct FJAG that MP's are a function of the system, it is clear that while conducting strictly policing functions, a LCol was...

    "Canadian Forces warns members affiliated with radical groups"

    Not completely true! The military police report can be ATIP and the media can see most of the investigation from there. Obviously it would be vetted prior to release, but they could have easily got the answers they were looking for without speaking to the Admiral. Given that they gave him a...

    Enrollment: Swearing an Oath or Affirmation [merged]

    I have highlighted the important part of the DOAD to emphasize my opinion on the matter. The word "Shall" does not confer discretion to the CO, as it is an order. Although you are likely right, and no member is going to be released, not following a DOAD is a service offence; which I will admit...

    PMV and Travel Limits While on TD

    Good morning, I checked the forums for an answer, but couldn't find one, as my question refers to a new directive. I was informed by my unit OR that travel via PMV while on TD was capped at 500$, but when asked for a reference, was unable to provide one. I informed them I saw nothing in the...

    Not being covered if no leave pass

    That's what I thought! Any chance you have a reference I can provide the member?

    Not being covered if no leave pass

    so is it safe to say that the member's immediate chain of command should not have given the member the day off without seeking permission from the CO in the form of a memo? I understand it is the prerogative of the CO to handle their units, but isn't that a bit much? A member works a stat...

    Not being covered if no leave pass

    Hey everyone, I looked around but couldn't find my answer, so if there is a topic already, I apologize. My question is regarding leave. A member I know was given a day off in renumeration for a day worked they normally shouldn't have worked. This day off was granted by their immediate...

    MP struggle to enforce mental health laws

    I didn't think you were arguing against increased MP authority, I've just heard that argument circulating over the last few weeks and it can be a bit frustrating! As I said, I have personally dealt with 3 instances of mental health in one year, with one requiring more pressure to get them to go...

    MP struggle to enforce mental health laws

    Interesting statistics, and I'm not entirely surprised. In my own experience, I have only had one case where it took a lot of convincing to get the individual to go to the hospital, most go voluntarily. The argument is not that they happen frequently; the argument is that when they do happen, we...

    MP struggle to enforce mental health laws

    Arresting them, fine; but then what? We still don't have the authority at that point to transport them to a medical facility against their will. Not to mention civilians (often dealing with them more than members!) Arresting someone who clearly needs medical help is not the solution. The...

    MP struggle to enforce mental health laws

    You're very right Habs, there seems to be a disconnect; but the overwhelming pov here is that any action with respect to provincial law is unlawful, very simple. I'm not really sure what the point in arguing semantics is. You are now very aware of the limitations, so the ethical thing to do...

    MP struggle to enforce mental health laws

    I am very happy as well that this threat is going! It is providing very valuable information to help me in my role as an MP. One thing though We have been told by our local CoC that this is a dangerous maneuver. They stated that the symposium made it clear we were not to operate off...

    MP struggle to enforce mental health laws

    Sorry I didn't finish my point here haha! I meant if the federal government wrote a Military Police Act, similar to the RCMP act, that would allow the provinces something to reference in their respective police acts without confurring provincial authority over federal land. The MP Act would be...

    MP struggle to enforce mental health laws

    That is what I am trying to say; before you very correct, most dets operated a bit differently depending on what province/chain of command, flavour of the week, etc. Then there was a symposium in May in Ottawa, where all detachment commanders and all elements (Navy Gp, Army Gp, Air Force Gp) and...
