Yeah, by reading that description that doesn't apply to me I don't believe. I am posted to a ship but I'm TD'd to the west coast school, which is sending me to the east coast school for a course. I'm getting R&Q and travel incidentals. Again my clerks on ship said this is bullshit and I get TD...

I'm posted to a ship and I collect sea pay. I am TD'd out to CFNES Halifax for 8 weeks to do some courses. And the west coast fleet school (CFFSE Esq) TD clerk told me I'm not entitled to TD pay because I collect sea duty allowance. This is the first I have ever heard of this since I've...

Well that's nice that it's finally taken care of. I wonder how long the turn around will be to get the paperwork in to final presentation. I'll say sometime at the end of summer early fall? Anyone do the Winnipeg trip in 2009 know how long it took from paperwork to presentation. I wonder if...

That bomber command thing was definitely out of left field. And a special pin for the war of 1812 jeez.

A little info came down via our clerks today on Vancouver today was that Ottawa doesn't consider the awards for OP Mobile a priority right now. So we'll have to wait. I cannot verify this though.

Is it  possible to just email someone at DH&R? Do they have a POC for inquires about medals and such? Or public affairs people at that office?

That was back when I was  still on deployment myself. I wonder what happened. Did they go on a extended vacation, or once the good General was recognized they kinda just forgot about it. In other news HMCS Protecteur finally got their OSM-Exp medals. They earned them in the winter of 2011. So...

Yeah, what was his awards so far?  Meritorious Service Cross, Legion of Merit (US),  Order of Canada. And the campaign medal when it comes out. Jeez, four medals for one mission. Jeez..

You figure the CFCWO, would have at least an idea of which way the council was swinging in-regards to what medal. But maybe he was just giving out a political answer of "no decision has been made yet".

To answer the earlier question of how the navy determines what is operation time. For the Vancouver it was the minute we transitted into the MED. We were in an operation area and were getting 3/1 Pay. We called this the "Big Box", when we got off the coast of Libya we received 4/3 pay. We called...

Yeah, Don't NATO medals have 30 day requirements. Vancouver should be good to go for the OUP medal. Unless they're making up an excuse not to go with NATO medals to make a Canadian one. Would NATO feel that was a snub at all?

well if they do go the NATO route, I know a lot of people will be dissatisfied. My buddies were waiting for a gcs. I think we'd be willing to wait longer to get it over NATO. Their medals are so cheap looking/feeling.

I was wondering if any clerks on here had access to an updated (to 2011 or 2012) sheet on the JIATF(S) dates for OP Caribbe for ships participating in that OP. The last one I saw came out in 2010. Several ships have deployed down there since and I would like to know if their dates have been...

I was repatriated early in mid November due to compassionate reasons. I took my mission leave at home.  Does this change my eligibility.

That's funny that this came out. Because our clerks told us pcra was not happening. So how does this effect people that didn't take hlta

Britain has accepted the NATO OUP Non article 5 medal for operations in Libya. http://www.arrse.co.uk/medals/176831-operations-libya-medal-announced.html

So were thinking CANADACOM screwed up or something?

No one I know has been issued that medal physically yet. Same goes with the Libyan operation medal. They still haven't decided on that yet. I was told there is a delay in the OSM's. And if I was a betting man I would say the delay is that the mint is too busy minting 60000 queens diamond jubilee...

If i was common law, my NOK is my wife right. But now that I am single again my NOK becomes my parents? Is this true even though I have a 3 year old son? I mean a 3 year old can't be put down as your NOK because hes a minor. Correct? If thats the case does this mean I get my HLTA flight to my...

What is a mandatory separation period? I've never heard of that and the lawyer didn't mention anything about that. She has said "no contest" to spousal support. She doesn't want any. But the lawyer seems to think some sort of spousal support will be awarded on paper. But if she doesn't want it...
