    Class Action Suit against NVC & "Govt has no obligation to soldiers"

    The old pensions were tied to the rate of inflation, so no it wouldn't decline in "real value".  The same with any pension. Your second example also ignores inflation.  That $500k wouldn't have anywhere near the same "real value" 35 years from now.  Rate of inflation is usually around 3%, so a...

    Redress of Grievance – Mega thread [MERGED]

    Where would one find information about the PER review request / redress etc. processes. Everything I'm finding on the DIN is 404'ing :(

    CF moving to Multicam?

    I dunno, the only guys I see wearing multicam are SOFCOM guys. Frankly it doesn't work as well as the differing variations of CADPAT.  You go from three or four (temperate, arid, arctic, urban <- yes it exists) patterns that function extremely well in specific environments to one pattern that...

    The disability award "top up".....not until 2017?

    Fair enough, so that would imply there will be no letters of "how would you like to receive your benefits".  It will simply be paid out as lump sum, asap. Maybe the letters the VAC employee I spoke to was alluding to are more along the lines of "direct deposit or cheque?" kind of thing. Either...

    The disability award "top up".....not until 2017?

    Tidbit of information from my last conversation w/ VAC: "Letters" regarding the top-up will start going out Apr 1. You know that letter saying, essentially; "we're going to give you some money for messing up your body, here are your options."?  That letter. Again, it STARTS on Apr 1.  That...

    Old Course Reports

    I'm having difficulty tracking down an old POET course report that RMC is asking for (for PLAR purposes). Is there any relatively simple way to reproduce course reports? Thanks in advance for anyone who can provide some insight.

    Primary Leadership Qualification Course (PLQ) Mega thread

    "They're doing it", I'm not comms rsrch, just wanted to clarify. There can't be many of them.  21EW doesn't seem to have too many people on their side of the building.  Unless they're spread out all over the base? On that note, why the hell was 21EW removed from JSR in the first place?  From a...

    Desexualized clothing instructions fail for gender specific directions

    I completely agree.  I honestly advocate for Heinlen style equality (starship troopers).  Gender separation in the Army is ridiculous (in any form, including uniform standards).  It only works in garrison anyways, once you're sleeping in the ditch all bets are off. Same thing goes for religious...

    Primary Leadership Qualification Course (PLQ) Mega thread

    Are you certain?  Because there are a few Army trades that don't do PLQ-A but PLQ-common.  And there are still more purple trades that don't do it.  EGS techs for example do the common PLQ, and maybe SQ (unlikely). Seems odd that comms rsrch would do it... That being said, "train as needed" is...

    Primary Leadership Qualification Course (PLQ) Mega thread

    I'm fairly certain that Comms Rsrch doesn't do PLQ-A, or SQ.  That being said if you switched to a trade that needed PLQ-A and SQ, you'd be hard pressed to get a PLAR (from what I've seen lately)

    Wanted: "Ultra-Light Combat Vehicle (ULCV)"

    Blackout lights and a 24V system would take an EO and a Veh about a day to install at pretty minimal cost if you gave them free reign to just get 'er done (LPO battery and LED systems instead of whatever canadianized garbage we'd have available to us).  The Alternator wouldn't be a big deal...

    Preventing overuse injuries

    100% covered means basic medical and pharma.  Basically OHIP/AHIP/RAMQ what-have-you plus a free drug plan.  On-base physio is covered (results may vary base to base), off base physio isn't uncommon but you need a referral from base.  Chiro is very rarely covered and if it is it'll be only 10...

    Parliament to consider changes to "O Canada"

    Ehhh... that's a pretty brutal translation.  It can be taken as "since your arm knows how to carry the sword, it also knows how to carry the cross" You can interpret that a few ways, one being "sure you can fight, but you can also bring peace"  But yea, good point.
