It all depends on the client. There are things such as a "complex transition" which under certain circumstances people can be retained for an extra period of time. currently I'm on my first TCAT (of my career!) 6 months from now I'll get second TCAT then onto PCAT. I'm looking at 2ish years from...

No not at all. However a poppy fund should be to support veterans in any capacity should it not? Ask a civilian who purchases a poppy aside from remembrance where they assume their money goes. I'm willing to bet the local fire hall etc doesn't come up or get mentioned. Keep reading down the...

I have some pic's of IIRC a legion in Barry or Owen sound area handing over legion poppy funds to help out their local fire hall.  While I appreciate the thought of helping out a emergency service I have doubts that's what people contributing to the poppy fund think their money is being spent...

Actually I'm quite involved in a veterans Advocacy group. And I see the legion making thing difficult for other groups trying to speak out (I.E pat Varga speaking right away to media about how great cutting red tap for medical travel mentioned in parliament as a "look at us...see we are doing...

I smell the difference of opinions yes. As I said anything negatively reflecting on the legion isn't welcomed. Just informing the member he wouldn't get any info from the opposite side. Legion down 50,000 members in the past year. Carry on.

Constructive opinions on the RCL is not welcomed; regardless of how great a discussion can form from it.

:facepalm: So much for cutting that red tape it appears! Thanks for the info.

What would a B client be? I am unfamiliar with the term.

Always thought the M113 with a surv suite would work excellent. Rubber track is so quiet; would have worked great as a recce vehicle.

Absolutely. To all the loud angry people speaking up; Thanks!!

Can't find any Hallomi in St. Johns anyone have any luck?

Not handing in receipts after attending a medical appointment booked by VAC makes sense. It cuts down on the office workload hunting down receipts from people; when you already know they went to the appointment. Not big news, but hopefully it will cut down on the work of the case managers in VAC.

Maybe some noise and letter writing is having the desired effect. Members of the Royal Canadian Legion say veterans benefits will be at the forefront during a national conference in Halifax. More than 1,200 members from across the country are attending the five-day conference, which began with...

Very good read. “We just have to hope that if someone does snap they aren’t at their best. Look at what happened in Norway when a rank amateur (Anders Breivik) put his mind to it and trained himself off the Internet. Canadian soldiers are not rank amateurs.” That's a chilling thought.

I appreciate your opinion.

I personally find discussion breeds understanding and conversation fosters tolerance. I appreciated many of the views expressed in favour of the legion. Jed's comment about owing it to the Korea vet's. That gave me food for thought. That's the great thing about opinions; If you can be...

Maybe for you.

You can always hit ignore. It works well.

So if all politicians deserve to walk a mile in veterans shoes; shouldn't all legion command positions walk a mile and be Veterans? Couldn't agree more. What makes me vexed slightly is the legions constant fall back statement that "we agreed for it to be a living charter". Like that brings...

A veteran is a veteran. Problem being IIRC( from another thread here on army.ca) 80% of the legion has never served in any capacity. That's the issue; not a tour or time frame/ specific tour or medal. Korea, Germany, Peacetime, Bosnia, etc are all examples of veterans. Not had a uncle in WW2.
