You're just taking us full circle back to "Yes, unfortunately it's difficult to protect the CAF's members from leaders that lack integrity and character, hence all the scandals in the news and public and membership's loss of confidence in the CAF's leadership." I've addressed this already, if...

I wish I had such magick superpowers that I could just ignore all written policy presented to me, type something out completely opposite and it be true. You just can't accept you're in the wrong even when it's given to you in black and white. This isn't a critical studies class where you can...

That all depends on all the other factors involved. Having a member drive 50km North to Base to get a vehicle, and then 50km south to go to their appointment, and then 50km north again to return the vehicle, and then 50km south to get back home, would be galactically stupid. Also, not every base...

That's literally the policy that's been quoted in here numerous times, with links, and it does not, in any way, say what you are saying it says. It says medical travel outside of the geographical area is under the CDU and that medical travel inside the geographical area falls under the Base...

My private sector employer also doesn't spend countless hours trying to figure out how to nickel and dime me, going to great lengths and wasting numerous other resources to try and figure out how they can avoid reimbursing me an extra $20.

Not accurate at all. If the member requests to use their PMV, then the "method established under the authority of the CDS, the cost of the more economical and practical mode of transportation" is used... that method is the cost-comparison and it doesn't have military transport / crown vehicles...

So if he lives on the south side of town, 5km from the appointment, and the base is 30km north, he should be reimbursed for 60km? Base-to-appointment and back? Even though he only drives 10km? I don't know many employers that do a lot of the stupid shit the CAF does, I probably wouldn't use...

This entire thread has been giving me anxiety for days and watching it turn into a bun fight reminds me why I need to stop coming on this site while I am still decompressing from the years of stupidity I had to endure in the CAF. I'm not sure I've seen more incorrect statements said in one go...

I think the COs and RSMs should lead by example by not trying to create their own policies - that they have no authority to create other than bullying - just because they don't like it. The institution has decided what is and what is not important, where the threshold is for dress and...

Well Canada only has about 8 tanks that aren't on the VOR at any point in time, so it would be pretty accurate...

Kinda like they already ignore it even though it's departmental direction? $400/hr is the going rate, minimum charge of $1000. Ironically I'd be telling them exactly what's already written in the FAM on S.34 where it clearly shows finance staff are supposed to manage payables.............. see...

Pay/Compensation/benefits is actually an HRA function... don't even get me started on that. No, CQs don't have a budget... in two of three Reg Force Brigades I was in, I've never been able to find a unit that is willing to delegate any budget and requisite financial authorities Many will say...

I can't speak to procurement itself but the FSAs should not be involved in the actual procurement process. FSAs are the CAF's accountants, whether anyone in the CAF realizes that or not. Accountants should not be involved in procurement, that's 100% a supply/warehouse function. FSAs should be...

That's the smartest observation I've heard come out of the PMO in a long time. I'm not sure that criticism is solely aimed at the LPC... the DND has turned in billions of dollars they were given because of it's incompetence. We certainly do... one would think GOFOs would have been lobbying...

Misfire...

It was $65/night and about $25/day for rations in the fall, doubt it's been changed since then.

Way to open up my old wounds. I was writing a big long post in response to this, and then remembered that part of releasing was that I would leave the utter catastrophe that is CAF finance behind me so I just deleted it all. Suffice to say, your first sentence is too generous, and I don't agree...

I have been saying for a long time that I would not give the CAF any additional money until it sorts itself out. In saying that, legislation needs to be passed to give the DND it's own set of contracting rules. Perhaps the TB already has the authority and doesn't need any additional legislation...

There was a 2Lt from Toronto on my Log O training, RMC type, that put her posting preferences down as Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver as an Army Log O. She told me after she found out her first posting was to Wainwright, she looked it up on Google Maps and immediately started crying. :ROFLMAO:
