    Allowances - Post Living Differential (PLD) [MERGED]

    I agree while not everyone is cut for management, but there's still an old outdated mentality that exists within the c.f especially among the higher ups, that drinking at the mess with the boys, and helping him with his house on the weekend, lending your truck, or providing extra favors to...

    Allowances - Post Living Differential (PLD) [MERGED]

    I have no kids, but I'm guessing an officer with 5 kids would be bringing in a decent salary plus a good deal of ccb. I think they would be in a better fincincial position than a cpl with only one kid. A decade ago, most of the pmqs sat empty in places like Kingston and Trenton. You could buy a...

    Allowances - Post Living Differential (PLD) [MERGED]

    The rumor we heard is that it is a huge benefit for some members who do thier whole career in the same place like Halifax. They had been receiving this benefit for 20 years, and overall a lifetime of thier career have recieved more money than people at postings with 0 amount. It should be there...

    Allowances - Post Living Differential (PLD) [MERGED]

    I've never been out that way, but I've heard lots of complaints about how much tax they pay out there. I have heard the rumor that the new pld will have some type of time limit on it when you are posted to a new area., it was never meant to supplement the col of living to members who do thier...

    Yes ' the linemen are every bit a tech trade as any of the  other trades. The reason why our trade has never been in the red is because it is  a technical job and most of the lineman find this trade very rewarding. If you think lineman is not tech and such an easy job then go try designing a...

    I have been serving in the military since 1997.  I have been around long enough to see many things over the years but 77 line regiment is running very well and as a whole we are not going anywhere.  My whole point being is that the line man are techs the same as the other trades. It's even in...

    My point is lineman is a tech trade and should be given spec pay. Our trade on the civilIan side does offer such pay bonuses and what not. To say lineman is not a skilled tech trade is insulting . I have hope  that we will fight to be payed equally like the rest of the techs. We develop cable...

    Nope I have 15 plus years in the lineman trade. No we can not do every job in the cfs but we can absolutely do every job in the tech side especially us older folks who are around 40. We are  the ones doing your jobs half the time. The lineman trade as a whole are a proud bunch and deserve to be...

    Army Communication & Information Systems Specialists (Sig Op, Lineman and LCIS Amalgamation)

    With due respec,t I totally disagree. We lineman are busy as ever doing work orders. I know most of the lineman can do all your jobs plus our own with no problem. If you really think lineman is not technical the  try  designing a cable plan and do our job. I'm sure most of you  wouldn:t last. It...

    Army Communication & Information Systems Specialists (Sig Op, Lineman and LCIS Amalgamation)

    Well it looks like the lineman are not getting tech pay. No offense but the lineman  climb poles and do more courses and way more technical stuff and are deserving of tech pay as much as the other trades.  Why in the world are the lst trade being left out?

    Home Equity Assistance & "Military Families Pushed to Financial Ruin" (Merge)

    Hi all so the offer we had on or home fell through because they did not sell their home. Our agent wants us to drop another 10,000 for any hopes of selling. We are around 30,00 less then appraised value in May and around 14,00 less than we paid in 12. My question is how much does Brook field pay...

    Fighting Back

    I understand your frustration but when you get into mental heath issues it can be really tricky to judge who is really sick and who is not.  Treatments of such illness can can vary greatly.  I have seen such cases when someone is judged as such but maybe they are really going through a difficult...
