I really hope that is the way they are processing them. Is that the way they are being processed? Or are is it just take a file off the top of the pile and process as they come? I think the easy files should be done first as the more complex files may take a lot of time to sort out.

Why would they have to re-verify the verification that was sent out last year? Seems a bit redundant. If people had issues with the number of years that the initial verification there was instructions on how to get that corrected. Then again what do I know? I just hope they don't have to do a...

What about the risks and responsibilities that 23 year has to deal with? No other employer is going to move you every few years, often at short notice.  Not all 23 year olds in the military have no training or experience. I would say the majority of the pers that are in the conditions that...

Unless your a Mar Eng. PO1 Spec 2 promoted after Feb 2012. I had to get that in. Other posters keep mentioning a young person making over 50k a year is enough benefit. Where else could you trust a junior employee to watch over millions of dollars worth of equipment? How many other jobs can fine...

My first tour(2001) I paid taxes on everything. The tax free part was because of pressure on the Feds. Because the Americans were not paying taxes on their equivalent to FSP and Hazard Duty Allowance. The CDS at the time was down to visit and this was brought up. He said that the tax free thing...

I was doing some research and found some interesting items regarding pay regarding federal employees. In the past there have been some pay inequalities between different regions. The unions went to TB and demanded equal pay for the same jobs and qualification regardless of region. They did...

Keyword is "Standing By" many a time have had to shake the "duty" supply tech to get parts. Then had to wait while they got cleaned up and awake with a coffee before getting assistance. But to be fair,  I do have to say for the most part they were generally fairly quick to get the job done...

Makes sense. They kind of have to protect themselves a bit. If MWO X and MWO Y both applied for 100% PIL and one of them had 25 yrs straight Reg time and the other had mixed Res and Reg time they would not get processed at the same time. I am sure there are some interesting calculations with...

I really think that manhours and resources could be used better elsewhere. Why not go back to hammocks and hard tack too?

I think pers with straight time be put in priority files to be processed first. Then pers that have a little more complicated situation will be looked after a little more quickly, and by quickly I don't mean two months from now. I think the biggest dissatisfier about this whole evolution is that...

You all have my support, I have been in touch with the Ombudsman several times about this issue and am in the process of filing a grievance. Even though Brookfield, the Ombudsman's Office my CoC and me know it will not be approved, simply because no one has the authority to do so. I am also in...

I think that as long as there was no break in service the rate should be the same for Reg and Res force.

Yes the NVC works for most, most politicians that is. Agreed some things have gotten better. But for the most part the only big change is the payout vice a lifetime pension. This only benefits the government, any veteran I know would gladly receive a pension. How can VAC give a soldier in there...

Jeff Ross, independent company. Had a great experience with him. http://www.kingstonhomes.com/jeff_email.html He would send me weekly new listings in my price range  etc. He did this for a year as I was on IR while waiting for my house to sell in Halifax.

Yes I have been in those  categories as well. I remember all too well the incentive freezes, and most recently the changes to IR and the CFIRP.

Had to change my username when my email changed, just want to know any mods that may be watching Im not trying to have two seperate accounts.

Just tried to park in Stad in an unmarked "general parking" spot. The comminionare came running out of the building by the parking spot and said "You can't park there it is the Commodores spot" I asked him how I was supposed to know this as it wasn't reserved or marked with a sign. While I was...
