    Compassionate Leave Planning

    Example. UTPNCM student whose clerk connections have dried up. I'm used to last minute, emergency stuff where I just lay out the "hey, this guy's dad died and they need time off to deal with shit" and the t's are dotted and i's are crossed as required by someone else. I'd rather not depend on...

    Advice on what I should be tracking, preparing for with preplanned compassionate leave requests appreciated. This is preparing for something down the road, not an urgent request BLUF: What determines whether a block of compassionate leave is counted together with another? Eg. Parents get in...

    Reserve Infantry DP1 part-time

    As opposed to a regforce system that almost felt designed to exclude as many reservists from reaching OFP as possible? I liked the old reserve QL/3 and centralized training system, with a couple weeks in the field, as both a det member and det commander. But by the time I was running DP1s...

    Reserve Infantry DP1 part-time

    What about a non-student? If you can't run a mod 1 during the training year because of a shortage of qualified staff or other priorities, so be it. You can run every mod during the summer, regardless of when, where, or how you do so. Requiring all courses to run a continuous 8 weeks regardless...

    Making an Effective Case for Co-op During a Subsidized Education Degree

    Already cleared it with the head of my school's engineering co-op office. As I've confirmed that I will be receiving full-time pay throughout a co-op work term (if co-op is approved by SEM), I meet the co-op office's pay requirement. They have no reservations about the level-ness of the playing...

    Making an Effective Case for Co-op During a Subsidized Education Degree

    I want to build a case and submit a request to my Subsidized Education Manager to complete a co-op engineering degree (as opposed to an engineering degree without co-op work terms), which would delay my graduation and achievement of OFP by one year. I would appreciate feedback on presenting a...

    Switching from NCM to Officer later on(Already have a university degree)

    What do you actually want to do? If you want to be an infantry officer, be an infantry officer. If you really want to go into the ranks, do a job that you want to do there. I don't know what your family's pressure is about, but there may be some miscommunication going on there. If it's because...

    Travel Options, Getting from Port Elgin to Trenton

I need to get two adults and two kids from the Bruce Penninsula to Trenton. Anyone have options they'd care to chime in...

    Service Flights

    So I'm on extended parental and I want to go travelling with my wife and kids while I've got time. I got on DWAN, and all I've found is CANFORGEN 085/01, Non-Duty Travel. 2 Air Movement Squadron's DWAN page is practically empty, with just a mailing address. What I'm looking for is a way to...

    Signal Operator DP1/training flexibility

    There are almost zero reserve trades that you are going to be able to break down occupation training into chunks of three weeks or less. Full stop, you need to have a serious conversation with your chain of command to avoid wasting your time and theirs. When I was running this training, it was...

    Where can I find CMP messages

    Thanks. My mistake, it is CMP 003/1. I will check it out at the office tomorrow. The topic is indeed CAFJOD, and I've reviewed the CANFORGEN. CMP 003/1 is also referenced alongside it, and if there is an explicit disqualification for my registering in CAFJOD there, I want to review the...

    CAFJOD Registration while on OJT, subsidized education

    Short version, I'm blocked from registration in CAFJODs while I've got loads of unsupervised OJT time ahead. It's locked to 2LT/ASLT or higher, whereas I don't get commissioned for another 5 years. Is it possible for me to get a waiver and register? If so, how? The references I'm seeing are...

    Accumulated Leave, BTL

    I'm about to amend a Christmas leave request, removing my short days, after being told that "x CDSB BTL does not authorize the accumulation of leave."

    Mess Dues

    I've been hit with a bill for mess dues. I'm asking for more information including exactly what dates I'm getting charged for, etc, but I've got a few thoughts going through my head regarding it. First off, I haven't been invited/able to attend a mess meeting in at least two years. I was on...
