Contact the Canadian Forces Ombudsman - thats what he is paid for!  For the love of me, in 1979 you would be enrolled, on the bus or train and in boot camp within less than a month - with lesser staff to recruit you!  We complain, nobody listens - is it any wonder young men and women give up! ...

Bullets dont put food on the table, or pay for your kids education.  If we keep telling everyone we are WELL paid - we will revert back to the days when we were NOT paid well (some of us certainly recall those days - where putting food on the table was far from as easy as it is today ). Some of...

I take it this has to do with Reserve Pay? I am a Reg F Chief Clerk and I have also served as Reg F with a Res Unit.  Not really impressed with how pay is "done" in a Reserve Unit - Have no problems with how its done in a Reg F Unit.  Bottom line is start with your Chief Clerk vice the counter...

Combined Messes save money - that is the only reason I can see many Bases going this route.  One infrastructure (one set of elect/water/etc bills), One set of barstaff (less wages to pay), Less Mess Managers.  Many have 3 small off shoots for the various ranks with one combined dance floor/etc...

Love to go back!  Navy gets to at least use MS/C1-2/etc, Army gets to use CSM, RSM, etc AirForce should be able to use old Flt Sgt, WO1 and 2 etc Gives us more identity esp some of us on Army Bases! And, does it cost anything more - not.

Professionalism cannot be bought (degree) I only know (not having a degree) that Education can be bought but years of experience cannot. Your question is age old - pitting NCM against Officer with many feeling that because the Officer has the degree they are more professional.  Does a degree...

The whole topic of Recruiting kind of burns me - I cannot understand in this day and age why a person cannot be recruited, ,kitted up and ready to go within 2 or less months!  Back in good old 79 it took me well under a month to be recruited and on the train to Cornwallis, now it is taking from...

Sometimes I think using this type of language shows a complete lack of intelligence or education, and the user  (especially if a Snr NCO) should maybe go back and take a few more leadership courses and maybe even a basic psychology course or two.  If you cannot win a persons heart and mind...

I am not from a cbt arms MOC, but I have served with various cmbt arms units in the past 26 years.  It would seem we HAVE to change our ways to be leaner (read less expensive) as $ is not exactly being thrown our way lately!  It would seem we need to step out the COLD war years when everything...
