    Collège Militaire Royal de Saint-Jean (CMR)

    Then give them $5000 to enroll. To be fair, make it for all incoming officers, repayable if they fail to complete their program. $4 million annually, divided by $5000, is 800 officers. Multiply that by 4 (every officer gets the bonus once, and generally gets a degree done in four years), and we...

    Collège Militaire Royal de Saint-Jean (CMR)

    Sandhurst only trains officers to be officers; its not a university. Why couldn't we similarly teach officers to be officers, rather than be in the game of running a university? If you want a great officer training centre, do that.

    Home Equity Assistance & "Military Families Pushed to Financial Ruin" (Merge)

    And when you've got three kids, two dogs, and two cats and you're posted into a market where three bedroom units literally do not exist, you should just shove your family into a 2 bedroom apartment?

    REG VS RES NCM INF PAY

    Three points: One, if your "lifelong goal" is to be infantry, and you don't have immediate commitments such as three kids to support, what's held you up from your goal and why are you spinning over reg vs res and finances? You are going to get an incomplete picture, you are going to be making...

    New to the VAC process

    People with "lesser" injuries are not causing the problems with VAC. If someone's injured, and it continues to have an impact several months down the line, by all means, put in a claim. Go to a Legion service officer, discuss what you need to substantiate it, and get it done now. There may be...

    Federal Budget 2016 - Good News for Vets?

    I'm still curious about this math. A basic Corporal makes more than a senior Private.

    Federal Budget 2016 - Good News for Vets?

    There were two promises that I noticed from Trudeau: Lifelong pensions Free education, including four years of university Neither happened. I expect either legislation in the last five minutes of this session of parliament or a draft that they won't have yet voted in by the start of the next...

    Calling the Geeks!

    If you're going to that extent, just get a large SSD and install it into your computer. There's 1TBs running at $300 a piece. They're fast, they're large, and you can avoid having multiple boxes hither and yon. eSATA's going to be dead sooner rather than later (though the external you were...

    Retraining the Experienced and Ineffective

    Does he have a job? Sure, he's a paperpusher for the provincial government. Its probably decent pay, and he's had it for about four years now. Is he competent and effective at it? My educated guess says no.

    Call me a pedant, but there's a difference between what you would be paid and Class A pay.

    Calling the Geeks!

    No problem. I'm surprised you upgraded to a relatively small SSHD. If all you want is some extra storage, there's 1TB SSDs out there running for $300. That's a sweetspot, but you can still go smaller and cheaper. It doesn't give you some of the advantages of a NAS, like a redundant array, but...

    Calling the Geeks!

    In my personal belief system, Apple is evil. I don't touch their hardware where I don't have to. I am setting up a NAS for my dad this weekend, however, and he does use a Mac. I might makes some notes for a walkthrough for you. To confirm, you're planning on using this for your files, and you...
