I think that may be the largest source of grief with this process. I still haven't been able to find/figure out why unit OR's kept files until the last day of election. People that elected on the first day should have had their files submitted in short order after that. Not several months later...

That is my question as well. If there is no faith in unit middle management why have them? I know I may be simplifying this but it appears to me as micro management on a grand scale. Unit management should have the skills and leadership to asses their "special" cases that maybe had to go to a...

Even after 25+ years it continues to baffle me on how the audits need to be audited by the auditors and then audited again by another special team formed. I agree the "Tiger Team" ??, should only be required for special circumstances. The majority of personnel should be pretty straight forward...

Hopefully a lesson will be learned from this. Christmas flights are always subject to change at short notice due to operational requirements etc.. Put some money away in case you get bumped. The PIL never had a guaranteed end date. It might be taking longer than some like, me included, but to...

I think the therapists perhaps felt they were doing a dis-service to the veterans by not being able to treat them to their full abilities due to fiscal restraints and lack of time to treat each individual due to heavy work load. It's only my opinion that's all, there are more than likely...

I know just venting.  ;)

I understand the first part, we all have to do what were told. The payout part? 23.xx years ( can't remember exactly I got the calculation in the mail it was correct) rate of pay the day severance stopped divided by 30 then multiplied by 7 and that value multiplied by 23.xx. Time served x (Rate...

Similar thing happened to me. Submitted paperwork Dec 15, left base orderly room Feb 24, I sent Ottawa an email in July just to find out my file was not submitted correctly on the OR side of the house. This was sorted out within a few days but  I still haven't received my PIL so I am assuming my...

The broken record syndrome strikes again. JPSU/IPSC's are failing due to severe manning shortages. Dedicated personnel that work there are simply becoming burnt out. Saying we have put more into the budget is lip service, saying we will continue to do what we are doing is an insult. Isn't it...

Have to agree with Pusser on this. The nine months I was on IR was definitely the worst time away from home. This too after numerous deployments etc. In these times of "fiscal constraint" it should be pretty straight forward for the CM to grant a CCM. But you have engage your CoC. Start with...

That's great news, I hope that the people that really need it do get it before Christmas. I know it shouldn't be counted before its actually in the bank but I think some people might be counting on that extra cash for the holidays. :)

I'm not sure how much work I would get done, if I received so many calls and emails probably not much, but I have never had a job that didn't have milestones or keep all parties involved updated on a regular basis. I agree the PIL team most likely receive many calls and emails and this will slow...

I agree that a major part of the issue is the lump sum award. I am in the process of medically releasing. I have several CF related injuries illness. However any one of them on their own will  not categorize me as "Totally and Permanently Disabled" under the new system.  So if I am understanding...

The dates they are working on is what concerns me. Ottawa received my file end Feb, I checked with my OR and had them photocopy the DND749(?) it has the date Ottawa received it. I tried to get some info from PIL team and I just got the auto reply. Hoping it didn't get misplaced somewhere. I'll...

Latest from the PIL team; working on files that were received March 12th.  It is important to note, that files requiring archives access, and/or back and forth to the units for missing substantiating documentation require more time to complete the audit.  We are happy to report that we have...

I am Reg Force and have been working at a Reserve unit for the last two years and I am still surprised at some of the differences. Especially the way injured personnel are treated. It took me awhile to wrap my head around the timings for courses etc.. But once educated I got it. Other than the...

I read that JPSU is going to be granted a three year extension to continue to employ reservists that are ex RegF, I think it was 47 pers. I hope that is the case and that those that do get extended are acutally working in the the IPSC/JPSU's now to keep the experience where it needs to be. The...

Same thing happened to me, I wonder how far back that will but us? It will come eventually now though as its at least in their system. Here's hoping its sooner rather than later.

I might be wrong but RCMP do and can participate in peacekeeping activities. I remember the RCMP officer that was killed while working in Haiti after the earthquake, news photos of him showed him wearing a blue UN beret. I would assume this would entail unlimited liability due to the nature of...

I've written my MP about this and other things. Can't wait to vote!!
