    Component Transfer ( CT ) - Reserve to Regular

    ALL occupations?  That's odd, I applied around the same time as you, and just got the green light.  Then again, I'm RMS and I'm pretty sure that's a red trade in the Regs. Depends.  From what I've seen, perhaps a few months, perhaps a year.  I applied in Sep for the same trade,  got my...

    God bless you Major Lehker.  Keep us and our allies in good care.

    Russell Williams charged in 2 x murders, confinement, sexual assault.

    I agree, kudos to him.  It really is needed.  I'm feeling for the people serving in Trenton.  :-\ I think so far the public seems to appreciate us still, and they realize it's not the CF that did this - at least the majority of them..  By and large, most people I've seen in Facebook groups...

    Edmonton Thread- Merged

    My CT to Reg F has been approved.  Got some questions for those who can answer them. -  Is there a lot of available housing on base nowadays?  Are the houses in good shape these days? - Apparently, I got what I wanted in terms of location.  Do they take into consideration which units you'd...

    Russell Williams charged in 2 x murders, confinement, sexual assault.

    Oh I know, I was  supporting it.   When I was an escort for remembrance day at the War Memorial a few months ago I had to escort media types back and forth.  Some were patient and understanding whenever I had to make them wait.  The remainder were EXTREMELY!!!!! rude, and treated us like we...

    Russell Williams charged in 2 x murders, confinement, sexual assault.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nidal_Malik_Hasan#Retrospective_analyses In that case there were warning signs that pointed to the massacre. As far as we've been told, very little suggested that Col Williams would have done this.  His neighbours in Orleans say they never would expect this of him...

    Russell Williams charged in 2 x murders, confinement, sexual assault.

    Not at all.  That interview was garbage.  Completely ignorant and disrespectful behaviour on that woman's part.  General Walt on the other hand took the questions well and was being a true pro, maintaining his composure, and giving thoughtful answers.  Although you could see he was taken aback...

    Are Corporals shown the respect they deserve by subordinates & superiors?

    Exactly, I'm not saying it happens to everyone, and my unit is pretty good at using its people like theyre suposed to.  I have however seen it happen here and there, and it's really too bad.

    Are Corporals shown the respect they deserve by subordinates & superiors?

    dingdingdingdingding!! Bingo! Exactly what I was hinting at. That Lt  ::) The trick to getting the best out of someone is using him for his worth.  Treat them like they're nothing, and that is what you will get in return.

    09/10 Budget Impact on PRes - Unit stand-downs, Class B Freeze, and so on!

    As I said it is a matter of liability.  We could parade, but if you don't sign in, you're not covered.  If something bad happens, it's on the unit.  I got severely reprimanded once for forgetting to sign in on a range weekend years ago, and that is why.  We were told that no one in the unit...

    Are Corporals shown the respect they deserve by subordinates & superiors?

    I know..  What I'm saying is that they can still be given MCpl-like tasks to prepare them for that appointment.  I've been behind the wheel when my I/C or Sect Comd was absent.  All it is, is "stepping up" and taking the initiative when necessary and I feel that it needs to be practiced more...

    09/10 Budget Impact on PRes - Unit stand-downs, Class B Freeze, and so on!

    LOL.  I can understand that way of looking at it; if it turns out my former unit looks bad next to my new one so be it..  what I don't get is shunning the soldier who I once worked alongside / was freinds with. Enough of the P Res / Reg F debate.. The reallocation has hit my unit pretty hard. ...

    Sound off: What are you doing right now? Aside from the obvious being on here..

    I am now pondering how much worse things can get for the P Res now, and for the rest of the CF, money-wise I am also looking forward to another Thai Boxing session this evening..

    Are Corporals shown the respect they deserve by subordinates & superiors?

    Cpls are by definition, NCOs.  NCOs are by definition, able to issue orders, and they have that power for a reason. We know that the rank is today a "two-hook Pte", IMO it's because that's often how they are treated...where I come from most of them are given a very small degree of actual...
