No, no I would not.

well looks like they borked the upgrade...

my bad!

No I'm absolutely not. I personally didn't like Leitrim, but I know many individuals who thrived in that environment and really enjoyed their work/shift life. Conversely, I also know many people who absolutely loved the Regt (myself included) and the field troop lifestyle. Your criticism of...

There are a myriad of different jobs in Leitrim, and many more in Kingston. My point was that there is something for everyone depending on if you like a field environment or an office type environment.

There are plenty of opportunities in the Comm Rsch world for people of every type. Like sitting in a windowless office environment? Go for a posting to Leitrim. Like working in a field environment, with all the benefits that entails? Go for a posting to the EW Regiment in Kingston. I...

Yeah, I'm around 55% between a few claims and I've been told to expect $450-$500/month, also in my mid 30's.

Cabinet members make an additional $80k/year just for breathing air, it would honestly be nice if they just temporarily removed the cabinet post and devoted that money towards hiring more worker bees to process claims etc...

That worked, thanks! (tips hat)

Just checked my account, no letter yet maybe tomorrow.

agreed, my post was more about how the OP equated Mr.khadr to a terrorist.

There is an extreme difference in these cases. One was the case of a young boy brought to a warzone against his will by his father, a rifle thrust into his hands. The other are cases of ADULTS knowingly travelling to that part of the world to join ISIS and who carried out brutal and...

I don't think there is any need to start making political jabs; governments are like diapers, they should be changed regularly after all lest they become too stinky.

Thanks for the spread sheet, not counting my eggs before they hatch, but nice to get a ballpark of what to expect month to month or lump sum....

Awesome, thanks!

I'm looking forward to using the educational allowance and have an application pending already. However I have a buddy from my old Unit who is also released, being told by VAC that he cannot access this allowance as he is on their Voc Rehab program. Can't find anything in the Act or Regulations...

Ha! Reminds me of a Sgt I had my last year who had come to my Unit (operational) from a school where they had been for over ten years... Literal white glove inspections of field vehicles etc.....

While the extra money is nice, hugely disappointed overall. What is really needed is a complete overhaul of how medically released members are retrained for the civilian workforce; a) Boot manulife financial to the curb b) kill the SISIP Voc Rehab program c) Create newer streamlined program...

Got mine today and my topup was about $35k, so looks like they are all being mailed/sent at the same time.

SISIP is the worst program ever, it seriously needs to be overhauled. Actually, just eliminating SISIP Voc Rehab entirely and rolling it into the VA Voc Rehab, with this money on top would be a great idea. Even though I had an "entitlement" to $25k of funding through SISIP when I did it...
