I didn't hear about this at the time-?  If this is a repeat or should go in Military History instead, plse move accordingly. Reproduced IAW the Fair Dealings provision of the Copyright Act. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/story/2012/10/12/ottawa-war-museum-vandalism.html

It sounds to me like MSCs' expenses related to CF-imposed separation should be automatically approved by the org that posts them apart.  IMO those members shouldn't have to apply for anything.  It doesn't make sense to try to fit MSCs into the "boxes" designed for other situations - and...

Ah - yes, makes sense.  :nod:

In its awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to the European Union earlier today, the Norwegian Nobel Committee seems to have taken a long view of things.  Perhaps this current crisis, too, shall pass. 

[inserts & colours mine]  Surely these are not the only two options ... a society where the lucky or most ambitious end up with the spoils & everyone else is condemned to poverty, or a society where the sick & elderly are taken care of but the rest of us (while we're waiting to get to one of...

That's part of my point, actually.  He just does things and doesn't talk to Canadians about them.  In a more-or-less democratic society, this tends to breed mistrust over time.  Mr. Trudeau, on the other hand, talks a LOT - but we've yet to see what his actions would be.  Hmm, if only there...

True, but if all CF mbrs are eligible in Cat 02 anyway, is there a need to wait that long?

I used the XMas/New Years service flight program probably 10 times over the course of my career, flying Edmonton-Winnipeg or Ottawa-Winnipeg, & return.  Never any major problems.  At one point earlier in the program where married mbrs reuniting with their spouses had priority (IIRC) over single...

But he fosters homeless kittens!  ::)    (Which I think is a great thing to do, in general - just for the record.) The PM does not seem to be big on communication.  For those of us who don't have the opportunity to meet & speak with him, we're limited to what we see through the media.  If...

Good advice, especially this part.  MP inbound.

:ditto:  :goodpost: Agreed.  This is not about motivating people or threatening them - it's about giving competent, standardized instruction tailored for the CF's needs.  The wealth of info out there on the internet does not fit that description.  Some of it might, but how would anyone know...

Progress!  Good. The other day a friend (35-ish) relayed something their doctor had told them, about being significantly overweight:  "Even if you can't see consequences now, they're coming."  Bit of a knock between the eyes for me as well.  Anyway, yes, the hurry up & wait... good training...

Agreed.  And this kind of statement, along with "It goes with the uniform", "If you don't like it, there's the door" etc. is a poor substitute for treating people fairly and communicating things clearly.  Wish I could be more specific (memory fails) - but I heard of one particular briefing a...

Unless I'm mistaken, it would not be a release but a component transfer-?  Unless you're actually getting out of the CF altogether and re-enrolling a few days/months later (perhaps not recommended, as a gap in svc can affect various benefits).  I still sometimes hear people referring to...

Yep.  Things have improved a fair amount over the years, but there's still major work to be done.   

I have several friends who think he's doing a great job, and from what I hear he's pretty popular in Calgary. In some cases, probably.  But is it also possible that in some cases they are simply exposing and/or disagreeing with something he's done?  Or is it a case of, if only everyone were...

Ouch, indeed.  ::)  Happy (Army) Reserve Recognition Day! http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/107718.25.html

:nod:  That's probably what he meant.

Neat, and long overdue.  I'm envious ... looks like we civ employees won't be able to take a look & get some tips for our fitness as well, but I understand the specialized nature of the site.  A welcome development.
