If you read through the CFLRS handbook it will tell you that you have to report to St. Jean no later than 8 pm on the Saturday before the course starts.  Basically, if your course starts on the Monday, July 11th, you have to report no later than 8 pm on Saturday, July 9th. Here is the link for...

That's what I thought, as well, but it never hurts to get confirmation.  Please don't be offended, but I'll check with my CFRC tomorrow, but, like I said, I'll plan for the holdback, and expect the per diem (minus the advance of $220) for the pay date of the 31st July. Thanks for the valuable...

Does the term "jet-burn" apply here???  ;D All I have to say is this: :deadhorse: 'Nuff said. Rev

I was told, by the little sheet they gave me that because I am on LWOP, I do not get paid (obviously).  But because I am now a member of the CF, my pension deductions are applicable from the moment I swear in until the moment I discharge. Seeing as I do not get paid for the time I am on LWOP...

:rofl: Now this is starting to get funny again... :pop:

OK... good to know... Thanks for the quick answer CDN Aviator... I can tell the wife to stock up on baby stuff for the month of July then... Rev

And if the ticket prices don't go through the arse, the food and water will... ;D

Hey everyone. I did a search on this, and couldn't find anything that was close to what I was looking for.  Lots of questions about deployment pay, but nothing regarding my questions, which is: I swore in on June 3rd, 2011.  I am on LWOP until I report for BMQ on July 9Th, 2011.  I know that...

I think it's only the officer students.  When you see any of the NCOs at BMQ, they all complete BMQ as PTE (R), so they actually have a blank rank symbol on their sleeves...  Everytime I saw an instructor on all of the Basic Up videos, they had their regular CADPAT ranks on, and they're green...

A buddy of mine has been in the NAvy for about 7 years now, and he says that the military has a "hurry up and wait" mentality...  As it was, I had to wait for what I thought was an eternity to get my job offer and get sworn in.  But as I continue to cruise these chat forums, I find people who...

I can't help it... My wife has my man-card... ;D

Oh, and to the three people who deducted 300 milpoints from me earlier, I thank you.  Proper punishment for a bonehead move... Thanks for keeping me honest, guys.  I hereby retract any statement I made in this thread.  I now have no opinion regarding this topic. ***Edited for Spelling***

Well, seeing as I'm up to my knee now, with no hope of recovery, I for one welcome our new US overlords, and hope that they will be able to inform us if we require the services of an added Marine Corps... I give myself a BIG  :facepalm: I gotta learn to stay in my lane and not post when I'm...

CDN Aviator:  Thank you for correcting me.  I was only stating that which I THOUGHT I knew... Journeyman:  While it may be true that my time in amounts to the three days since I have sworn in, it has been and always will be my honest opinion that the CF has more honour , loyalty, and tradition...

I say we invade Turkey and rename it Chicken.  Then we can have a serious discussion about invading anywhere else... As for a Marinew Force...  Our Reg Force Army makes the USMC look like a bunch of Boy Scouts IMHO.  The only reason USMC is so popular is because of the fact that they have...

:+1: I wonder if pitdroid would have someone fill out his CF application for him too??? Recce is dead on, dude.  Give us YOUR suggestions... or quit asking about theoretical situations that are either being looked after now, or will probably never be an issue.  :brickwall: I'm pretty sure...

OK, I want a couple of these to look after my wife while I'm at BMQ this summer... Rev

Here's a real dumb one... http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/101076/post-1048920.html#msg1048920 Topic:  "Will you fight if the US attacked us?" If anyone reads it through, you will see where I really put my foot in my mouth... I nominate the person who started this particular thread, and...

Really???  And this person made it INTO a 12th grade biology class??? I know that they meant something along the lines of:  "What are the probabilities of someone producing twins when they have twins in their family, as opposed to someone who doesn't have twins in their family?" Sometimes, it...

CDN Aviator, you are absolutely correct.  I apologize for veering out of my lane. I was trying to say that that this is such a non-issue that I can't believe that someone would start a thread about it.  Why would the US attack us?  If it wasn't for us, America wouldn't have ANY real allies they...
