But are the bills they are skipping the lease payments on the Beamers, the $200 on subscription services, the $100 iphone 17 payments, etc.? There are most definitely individuals who are having to choose between paying the gas bill and eating for the week. But they probably aren't taking the...

I heard the poor daughter on CBC this morning was again trying to drum up support to save these poor animals they have been caring for the last 35 years, and the horror that destroying them would be. Except that until they started dying originally, these birds were processed as meat birds, and...

I hate to burst a lot of people's bubbles when they look at the C330s and go, wow, think of all the stuff we can move. 8 of the 9 will be deemed to be Air to Air refuelers as their primary role. As much as I believe this is overkill, the crewing numbers will be based on this, meaning there will...

While getting more C-17s would be an extreme benefit for the CAF, what would we decide not to do in order to train and man a full Squadron or 2? The RCAF is tapped out as it is, so we'd need to look at other L1 activities divest in order to bring this expanded capability on. Would the CA give up...

Is my understanding wrong that the "35 year cap" is only related to pensionable service. I have had public servants working for me that have had 40+ years in, they just didn't earn any more towards their pensions. Same applies to CAF members who go to the PS. You only get 35 years total, so you...

Because groups of individuals will learn how to gain the system so that it doesn't naturally work out on its own? Hard decisions had to be made, and cut-off lines needed to be implemented. No solution was going to make everyone happy. And if I remember correctly, and this may have changed in...

I have seen the spreadsheets some of the pilots have used for their grievances to justify the loss in potential earnings. But guess what, the key words are potential earnings. Not guaranteed earnings. The problem could indeed fix itself when you consider that there are only so many Capt...

While I don't agree with the logic for using the latest date for someone going Res-Reg, I can see the why they might decide to do it that way. Think of the anger among individuals who see those jump over to the Regs and be given the equivalent amount of time in, when they only worked Class A and...

So how did you instill the value of volunteerism in your children? Of my three children who have had to volunteer, two did it without fuss, and found they were actually being helpful within the community. The last one thinks its a waste of his time to do things for others without getting paid. I...

I think the are referring to the policy of medically released personnel being eligible for voc rehab the last six months before their release to set them up for civilian life. It does make sense from a unit perspective, as it could allow them to have a member posted in to replace them, or...

I drove by my local post office 3 or 4 times yesterday while I was out doing errands. While understand that they are probably not happy to be on the picket lines again, their picketing consisted of sitting in the shade of the trees on their lawn chairs, drinking their timmies and talking to each...

Livestock culls by CFIA happen all the time. When it was turkeys and ducks a few years ago, why was no one coming out to support those farmers. Or when they cull farmed deer herds because they have come in contact with a sick wild deer. The issue is that people see these big birds as pets now...

While the OP hasn't provided any details, there is a scenario where the member may have burned all their leave already no through their own fault, and not necessarily their immediate supervisors fault. The member could have been on parental leave since 1 Apr until end June, and only had enough...

Pinochet used the same logic I bet.

Even years ago when I had a subordinate lose a spouse and left with 3 preschool kids to look after, we drafted all the documentation for the member that had to go forward for MND approval for an additional 30 days. For them, it was seamless.

Its funny how everyone defaults to the CCG and the RCN being the two organizations most closely linked, and subject to the largest headbutting. I foresee the bigger issues, and potentially greater opportunities to cooperate, being between the RCAF, CJOC, CANSOF, and CFINTCOM. The CCG is...

I watched the video, hoping there might be more information on the version of the pistol (was an it older model with the known issues). It looks like the pistol discharged as she was taking her backpack off, as it appeared to catch on the holster as it was dropping off her shoulder. As well, the...

The CAF, and the RCAF in particular, need to accept that CAF FF are really just an expensive, but necessary, insurance policy. I have had FF work for me on two different Wings, and in Alert. What they can provide in an emergency is a critical requirement. There is no argument there. They are a...

The RCAF will soon start to experience the real problem with its current and future fleets when it comes to obsolescence. The old Hercs were mostly mechanical, and we trained great techs who could fix them when they broke. The Js, the '17s, the '49s, and everything new we bring in from here on...
