Collected my hours in a military kitchen [as civilian]. The Red Seal hours are based upon f/t work over 2.5 years (5280hr / 40hr-wk = 2.5) In a military kitchen I was able to collect those hours in half the time! My favorite part of the experience: When someone says, "how are you will stress?"...

kinda bumping up an old one here.. well, not as old as that> http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/23331.0 I have my papers, about 10years of experience in the industry - including military kitchens. Does this mean I will be able to "apply the experience to the [Cook] QL3 training" and just do...

Reimbursement would be excellent. I just wanted some kind of definitive answer whether I should wait until swear in or not. If I have to wait until BMQ or later, reimbursement or not, I want to have kicked the habit. Smoker's cough and jogging just don't mix as well as Corona and lime :\

I've called the recruitment centre a couple times and gotten two varying answers on this. One answer is the day I get to St. Jean, the second is the afternoon post swearing in. Neither person seemed to be able to give certainty with their answer so I thought I'd try my inquiry here. I'm...

All I got on milnet was a 3 conversations with the word tattoo in it. On Yahoo! all I found was info about the US Forces "grandfathered tattoo" policy, the Military Tattoo [drum parade] & a site debunking JTF2 myths (#8 is: "tattoos prevent you from joining JTF)

Could someone please point me in the direction of the official policy of the CF regarding tattoos? I've been sifting through the US policy, the Canadian drum parade and somehow found a site debunking JTF2 myths without much luck finding what I was actually looking for. All I've been told so far...

So the Gov't gives you a tax break when you "officially" retire (ie. jobless and collecting CPP)? The only experience I have is when I settled my father's estate. Because the amount in his RRSPs exceeded the top tax bracket we were subject to taxes in excessive of 45%. Is it different for...

I wouldn't be making those comparisons. If I'm not mistaken, our Forces have under 100K members across 3 elements and reserves. The US sits at just under 3 million spread across 5 branches and reserves. If you want a shorter wait time, might I suggest Israel, Russia, Korea or China? Pretty sure...

You make 40-50K$/yr. You pay 200$/mn into your RRSP and in return, the Gov't gives you an instant return of the 25% you would've paid in taxes (Hopefully, you reinvest this money into something like a TFSA and don't just blow it). You continue to make payments for years to come and are...

reeeally starting to grasp the whole having no control of what happens thing..

In the off chance that happens: what do members do? Sit at home working a p/t job or something more productive on a base?

Sorry to piggyback on this thread but.. I was offered a Naval position myself, however, I'm in a purple trade (cook). (a)Is it true that I could be posted anywhere from Alert to Esquimalt to Gander, regular forces bases as well as reserve? (b)Since the position was Naval does that rule out the...

I find it amazing how people can't read. It's obvious that this is a personal opinion posted to help the guy gather understanding of the situation. Should I wait 15 years before I exercise my right to freedom of expression? Thought I answered the original posts, "I was hoping to get an idea of...

Wow!  :o Way to skim through that reply without recognizing key phrases such as, "If you look around the site long enough - especially within, "The Recruiting Office" - you'll find answer vary from 3 years to 6 months." and, "Personally, from handing in my application until the job offer call...

Oh yeah, without the bribe of food us white people would probably 'tar and feather' him like we do the other Asians

Wow. No love for Sauga here.. I loved those guys! It was right beside my work at the time so it was really convenient to keep popping in though.. If you look around the site long enough - especially within, "The Recruiting Office" - you'll find answer vary from 3 years to 6 months. A lot has to...

I assumed it would follow along the lines of the labour code (ie. can not have you wages reduced unless the Gov't files the changes) but wasn't 100%. I guess this means the extra work pursuing a degree won't bite me in the ***.

Hope I'm in the right forum with this one. What happens if a member (say a Corporal or Sergeant whose awaiting promotion) completes a university program and applies to become an officer? Would they take a step down in pay to take a step forward in rank & responsibility? Here's the logic...

:o Soooo, what you're all saying is it goes Private, Corporal, Sergeant...eh? LOL Awesome, I'll be sure to ask for clarification at the swear in. Cheers!
