    Promotion to Cpl

    Not every sgt wants the additional leadership and would be happy to spend their last few years without the hardship/hassle while increasing their pay. Regular Sgts are at $88.5k so yes some would certainly be happy to increase their pay by $21k a year. If it was me I would as it also increases...

    Our North - SSE Policy Update Megathread

    Like most but can't really agree that everyone should have cadpat for those occasions that call for it. Over 10 years of storing army kit I don't use as the only occasions it is needed for is if I serve at an army unit and go on a field ex that actually has me in the field. Last ex I went on...

    Liberal Minority Government 2021 - 2025

    Not a matter of if or when, it is how much. LPC tends to like bloated while CPC leans leaner.

    Liberal Minority Government 2021 - 2025

    kevin wants to get rid of the passport? Will the USA allow us in without one? Is it that he wants all provinces to do enhanced ID/Driver license like BC has? All for that then. because they are afraid everyone other than liberals will cut government jobs, immigrations, international...

    No Kit issued for part time BMQ

    That is understandable if it was the same SYEP I am thinking of a lot didn't stick around long so supply didn't like to give out the kit. Wasn't that also the period when going to Cornwallis you didn't get your kit until around end of week one? they had to teach you some basics before...

    If they did that there would be a lot of Sgts dropping rank for the pay increase. More likely they would simply lower the increases for each pay scale - if 5 pay scales take you from $10 to $18 an increase of $2 for each and they changed it to 10 scales they would increase it by about 0.89 each...

    Promotion to Cpl

    I do agree that the promotion periods should match- 3 or 4 years for both. Stop the overuse of advance and acting promotions. There are other things in the reserve compared to regular force promotions that need to be fixed too (if not done already). Leadership also needs to start doing...

    Replacing the Subs

    Start WW3, that should ramp up production. WW2 worked. Amazing how slow everything becomes during peace time. Almost like no one really wants to invest in the military.

    Promotion to Cpl

    advance promotions shouldn't just be acknowledging a few years of experience, it is to ack the member excels above their peers. Reg F already screwed up the acting lacking by giving them to everyone. Almost every mcpl and above I have known were acting lacking at each level. No need to...

    Diminished Earning Capacity (DEC) and Education and Training Benefit

    I suggest contact VAC and then the legion if not satisfied. The legion has in house "experts" that may be able to help.

    Promotion to Cpl

    I feel that the advance promotion needs to be earned and not just a give me. The current Avr we have will be done at the 3 years unless he majorly screws up in the next few months. So far he has excelled and is deserving. The prior Avr waited 4 years.

    History of Slavery in "Canada" (split from JT Popularity thread)

    Even my kids know this and is why I didn't wear the stupid pin. I did however enjoy watching the faces of american tourists at citadel hill while they were listening to the display on the event. It was always fun to see the shocked looks. Me and the wife still laugh at it after 20+ years...

    Trudeau Popularity - or not (various polling, etc.)

    Shhhhh, we are all suppose to pay for what was done by past generations. From what I saw today it appears that is basically what she did in more public pleasing words.

    Reserve unit did not submit CT papers correctly for RegF

    Sounds like a lot of bad timing that has him caught in transit. Paperwork may still be sitting at Denison for action as it ran into the holiday block leave period. Always have hated that they do anything during Dec. Sounds to me like everything was done but needs to be actioned at the...
