Actually it is closer to 2 in 5 as per Employment and Social Development Canada: http://well-being.esdc.gc.ca/misme-iowb/[email protected]?iid=76 See what I did there?  Disagreed with you and provided proof.  You should do the same sometime.

Camp Argonaut in Gagetown has three nearly new accommodation buildings that hold 300+ each.

Not quite true.  I am on a BOI right now for a Cpl who was released 5f late 1990s from Cornwallis.  Was re-enrolled into the regular force 7 years ago.  Only required a waiver from the CDS's office.  No other hoops to jump through other than the "normal" stuff.

Seriously?  All your questions have been answered a lot on these boards. Please use the search. Quick and dirty answers: 1.  Depending on Rank and trade you could have anywhere from none to ~10 direct reports.  Also depending on rank you could have none to thousands working FOR you.  Pro tip...

BMOQ is offered on weekends, but your trade crse(s) are not.  You will still need to take training during the summer (time dependant on trade). I'm not in the units in Toronto, but my understanding is that they only get a very few jump spots a year.  Who gets to go is/should be based on merit...

I've never seen recruiters from Halifax recruiting center anywhere near my armouries (Annapolis Valley/South Shore).  The only recruiters I do see are the Brigade funded ones and my own Class B guy supplemented by the Class A folks I pay for out of my training budget. The Halifax staff at the...

You've summed up my intent 100%.  I couldn't find a sarcasm smiley for that line in my post. Everyone needs to do their fair share of the work.  If you can't do that because you have some objection to food, light, or some other issue, then please reconsider your prospects with the CAF. ...

OK, I wanted to resist, but I cannot. First off are you vegan, or not?  Your quote above seems to imply you are vegan sometimes, but if that makes eating too hard, then you "give in", and eat non-vegan items.  Isn't that like saying your, "kind of pregnant"?  I admit, I don't see what the big...

We normally do at least one per year on public lands.  As mentioned above it is a lot of work.  One exercise involved over 200 land clearance forms be signed. (We learned not to do that again).

Totally agree.  In my Unit, nearly all of my leadership staff work Class B in Aldershot and volunteer with the Unit.  For example, OC A, CSM A, all 3 Pl WO's, and all my Sect Comd less two, and up until last year myself were filling at least two roles.  The Unit has had only 3 officers make it...

Don't get me wrong, if a re-role is necessary, I'm good with it.  What I fear is that if we can't even get the basics right equipment wise, how would making a Unit re-role help?  Still not likely to get the proper equipment.

Before we look at giving Pres Units another role, how about we sort out the basics first?  For example there are no C6's in Newfoundland.  None.

If you think you have it rough now, wait until your Units troops are in three different color t-shirts.  The SSM will likely have to put in for stress leave.

Reserve Froce Compensation Claim is what you need to submit as per http://www.forces.gc.ca/en/caf-community-benefits-ill-injured-deceased/guide.page: Reserve Force - Compensation During a Period of Injury, Disease or Illness (RFC) References Compensation and Benefit Instructions (CBI) 210.72...

Canadians call the first part of a fighting trench system a shell scrape, which is the first stage in creating a slit trench.

I believe that the issue is actually that the OP has proof and wants to "show" it but his instructors are telling him that he is not allowed to.

Agreed with everything above.  For example in my Unit I've got soldiers who have worked 12 days or so, and a couple who are available for everything who just broke 100 class A days.  Depending on what courses you take in the summer or what staff position you get, you could easily tack on another...

Here's an interview of one of the "soldiers".  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpO-VC1kqkc  Very funny.

Not sure how other locations do it, but I have personally seen cheques from CFB Greenwood, submitted to the Unit Mess for deposit, with an attached list of names printed onto the cheque stub(s).

I can state 100% that this has not been implemented at Camp Aldershot in NS.  We signed a form that has our mess dues come off our pay twice a month years ago.
