Frankly, I'm good with discrimination based on the type of mental illness someone has IF it may effect their handling of weapons, explosives, or any other thing that may kill/injure someone else. I believe that the systems doesn't do enough now to weed out those tho cannot handle stressful...

And done.  If anyone has further NEW info to add I or one of the Mods can reopen it. Todd MILNET STAFF

Would you have a reference for this?  My experience is not this.  I've had a number of troops have items stolen from their homes and there was no difference between DEU and non-DEU.  They were charged for all of the missing kit and the reason given was they were expected to have homeowner...

A fried of mine worked at the CFRC in Halifax a few years ago and when I mentioned that they had lost one of my soldier's files she gave me the big shoulder shrug and said, "It happens all the time".  When I asked if there were any issues raised with this, she replied to the negative.  Not...

Yes you can hire a lawyer on your own dime, but the Presiding Officer is under no obligation to allow him/her to speak.  The JAG does NOT provide a representative to the accused.  If that has changed I've not been told.

I see we're back to the, "Want a job reserve guy?  Well, feel free to pay your own way to get/live here." days.

He told you that because the system is not allowed to stop you from applying.  Once you do apply, then the appropriate part of the system (in this case medical) will assess you and then tell you that you don't meet the minimum required standard. What should you do?  IMO you should not bother...

You play with the bull, you get the horns.

So he has now apparently been suspended with pay from his job.  And apparently he also has a full suite of CADPAT clothing based on the photo.  (except apparently head dress) http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/alleged-military-impostor-suspended-from-construction-company-job-1.2102398

My Regimental Assn made up coins with tha names of members who fell during WWII.  If you join the Assn you get a coin and are asked to research the soldier who is on your coin.  They also included a picture of our Regimental memorial.  They asked the Legion if they could put a poppy on either...

Well said.

Agreed, except that since she was going the Officer route, even if she did manage to get qualified (only has limited time over the sumer avail), I would get no significant work out of her as an Infantry Pl Commander, and likely none at any higher rank/posn.  At least I or the CF, if they...

Last year I had a 53 year old on my Infantry Unit run BMQ.  She passed, barely, but has already released.  A huge waste of my staffs time.

I'm not a pilot, nor do I play one on TV, but it seems to me that when referring to helos, "It's in fine shape. It just looked like it may have had a little bit of fire damage", is a statement with mutually exclusive points.

Unfortunately I see this all the time at the Unit.  Request comes in on Mon expecting an answer by Wed.  We train Thur night.  Sometimes for a jammy go, sometimes for courses etc... we have no one qual for, and everything in between. So if the day staff bend over backwards and do work the Class...

Perhaps if the OP were to actually tell us what the qual is and why he feels that it should be removed from his record, we could get on with our lives and cease the idle speculation that this thread has evolved into.  Or as a minimum discuss the pros/cons of the particular qual he is seeking to...

In my experience there are a number of dates involved with promotions: Date finished a course/achieved necessary time in, etc... depending on rank and trade. Date Actually promoted (May be months or longer later). Date Promotion is actually in effect. Note that the three dates listed above may...

As mentioned above it varies.  For example at my Unit the first parade night is the 11th (we train on Thur nights).  My OGrp for the month is the 2nd, and we hold a leadership conference for Sect Comd and up on the 4th.  Depending on rank, a member may be at one or more of these.

I signed up to volunteer for my daughters class trips and I had to pay ~$30 with the check being done through the Lower Sackville RCMP.
