    North Korea (Superthread)

    Isn't that the problem though? North Korea might keep pushing until they get their aid or they push too far seeing as that is all they know and that is all they have done over the last couple of decades.

    What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

    Did they have a choice on the matter? Admittedly this is a stupid situation but if the police were to ignore the situation and not investigate it could just make a mountain out of a molehill.

    NCM Subsidized Education Plan (NCM SEP)

    I believe you have to get accepted to a college in question before they move forward with the application. Basically apply to the CF and get the application as far as possible and wait out for the acceptance letter and once it is in send it to the CFRC that is dealing with your application and...

    Not meeting physical requirments

    *You don't need a gym to workout, there are a number of programs that do not use anything other than your bodyweight. *Going to BMQ while meeting only the minimum standard means that you are that much more likely to get injured or just having to sit in pat platoon and wait till you get fit...

    Obligatory Service in the CAF

    I believe that if you release after you have incurred obligatory service you will be charged for everything. This means salaries for the entire time at school as well as tuition,books, PLD if you received it. There was a guy who released just after a full year of Subsidized Education and he has...

    Serbs advised to buy garlic as a Vampire is on the prowl

    And my position is that judging 48million people on the actions of a few hundred villagers seems a little extreme, even judging the entire region of 48million people and over a dozen nations based on the actions and experiences in one of those nations seems to be an over reaction.

    Serbs advised to buy garlic as a Vampire is on the prowl

    I have a decade living in the region plus a number of visits... does that qualify me to have an opinion or do I need to go there as a CF member?

    Warrior Platoon

    I was under the impression that it was a maximum of 3 months on Warrior before you either pass the Express test and await the next course or you get released.

    Would this situation work out?

    If a large number of NCMSEP members were to release upon finishing the initial engagement the likely outcome would be the shutting down of the program. And in my case which is similar to a number of other people, it is not 5 years after being operationally qualified, but 5 years including...

    Would this situation work out?

    It most likely is not equal to 3 years of salary, cost of 6 semesters, thousands of dollars worth of books and supplies as well as BMQ and at least one maybe two summers of work not related to your field and this is before the member sets foot in a trade course in a military base. The fact is if...

    Would this situation work out?

    The whole point of the program is to qualify people but at the same time retain them for longer as the 3 year education is unsustainable if the return is 18-36 months of employment followed by release. If I were to release at the end of my initial contract I would have given the CF roughly 18...

    Would this situation work out?

    The time worked v. time paid does not always add up to the 1 v. 2 policy, for me it does not add up as my contract is shorter, while for others it is more than 2 v. 1 so you should probably take it as a general guideline as you might get more than that in a contract offer. The CF does not get a...

    Would this situation work out?

    1) You need parental permission before age 18. 2) Enrolment in the CF does not happen on your schedule, might take a month or it might take a year. 3) You will be paid if you are working full-time therefore no need to work part-time in a civilian job. Most likely in the summer you will be...

    CANFORGEN on Pay and PIL

    I received a letter from the CF about Payment in Lieu of CF Severance Pay and they have counted 1.56 years or 1 year and 205 days which does not include my 3 years in the reserves. Is my reserve time not counted because I had to release from the reserves to join the reg force or is due to lack...

    Selling of issued boots, illegal?

    What about a few very public convictions on several bases, would't that make people think twice?

    NCM-SEP ATIS TECH

    I know people who were given the offer a few weeks after school started, also there is always January since many colleges have 2-3 start dates a year.
