This is a common theme throughout the CAF leadership.

The article that came out in December has a few different writings and this one was posted today in BC. I have a lot to say about the comments regarding LGBT groups and the two offenders participation, I think that should extend to a certain other person before they continue to soap box their...

Reading through the articles I am wondering if Huddleston is in some way verbalizing some self atonement. He sure knows about being on their side of the situation.

Not at all, its what restorative engagement is and I am getting my notes ready for when I get the call. But once again as Arbour has recently stated the CAF is dragging its heals. I am looking forward to when they do finally call because my conditions will be that they need to fly me to Ottawa...

All good, I never did mention names back then as I was walking a tight rope with regards to what I could and could not say(still in uniform...). Imagine being called into CMPs office to discuss the CBC news interview request, this is when the "this is a sensitive topic" quote came up. You would...

The last paragraph in Holly's article was me being covert in blasting back at those senior leaders around me during my time of release. It was a positive article but I was still in complete shock and had no idea how to move forward other then to release. I would have been charged for...

I spent close to 22 years in the CAF and aside from stepping up when others were harmed while in I was only able to step up covertly for myself when it came to homophobic jokes and attitudes, believe me as an infanteer who won Iron and Mountain mans (blah blah blah I know) and then a Sar Tech I...

You seem to be someone who has it all figured out.

Not at all, for context his reflection and comments are based on his career as he states. And the part about senior officers not intervening, well his actions with me as a senior officer were to threaten me with the reprisal of sending me home due to me moving forward with a formal complaint...

Interesting article from the Canadian Press and their interview with Huddleston. I have posted about my experiences and it follows you. IH is the commander I had in AFG when I had to go through a discriminatory attack. He walked into my workspace and saw that I was preparing to file a Formal...

What is your point? I was providing information regarding a question about how they evaluate the levels and when. All legislation has criteria for reassessments and cancellations.

You can view the criteria for how they establish what grade you might qualify for here.... https://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/about-vac/legislation-policies/policies/document/2828 VAC will not automatically evaluate you every year once you have qualified for Grade 3. This is a life long non...

In recent times the politicians and corporations have begun to understand and use the value of the speaking point, constructed cliche above the actual realities of the people who are experiencing it directly. And many just eat it up. I was wondering what the actual story was when I saw that add...

VAC has tendered and the new service provider started their contract last month. VAC sent letters in the summer and PCVRS sent letters in November regarding their taking over of Rehabilitation Services and the Vocational Assistance Program. This is a running theme and once again another stream...

I worked for VAC from Sept 16 to Mar 18 in the Scarborough office. I was there as the funding project manager for IG Toronto but did have many interactions with CMs, VSAs, Disability Benefits adjudicators, and others. There were no specific files discussed but there were many questions about...

I do not think you are overreacting; it is another move towards an agency assuming authority over your situation. The rinse and repeat cycle is due to their inability to communicate and deliver competencies in many areas. I was a big proponent of VAC at one time but no longer am. I also think...

Left us way to soon. https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/ottawa-on/darcy-st-laurent-10994411

Interesting that Iain H is at the top of this as the 1 CAD Commander and it involves rumors relating to a junior officer who is in a committed same sex relationship. I hope he performs his duties better this time around...

Here is the link to the Veterans Well-being Regulations, go to section 22 to see the list of what classifies as "B" for the A - B calculation of the IRB (DEC) sum. https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-2006-50/index.html Here is the link to the DEC policy, once you turn 65 the...

Once again, the amount of armchair quarterbacking is comical. This thread is an example of why people have found it hard to come forward to report. Unless you are directly involved with the alleged facts, events then you are simply speculating and from my experience many current and former...
