Honestly, being on ship the trade progression is working now (with hiccups). However we are very short people. So yah, not as messed up as them. We didn't have their mass exodos due to screwy trade reorg.

I'm no longer 'in trade' as I'm now a 00355 NCM GS, as 00366-08 doesn't exist in the PRes.
However.
I did bump into the fleet CSEC last week at a retirement function, and apparently I still show up on his dashboard somehow.

Which is being addressed with a new Security Forces trade being stood up. I agree with you. Now would be a good time to discuss separating policing from security.
Start with something like the American CAC. I hate having an ID card that sits in my wallet and a PKI that I have to remember to pack away everyday and a building pass. One card to rule them all in the US. I loved that when I was down there.
And? There's a big difference between being employed by a government agency (that also does work on highly sensitive technologies) and attending university. Any faculty member at those schools working on any classified material (which is exceptionally rare in Canada) still has to follow normal security regulations. Including screening all personnel with access to that material.

Ah the joys of departmental transfers. I remember when we got shuffled off from TC to DFO and the months of confusion.
Heads up to all current staff/seagoing personnel - I called EAP yesterday and was told that they don't serve us anymore because we're not DFO.
The new provider is Homewood Health. You can register for an account at Homeweb | Client Portal by Homewood Health to access services or by calling them directly (you'll need a code, see below). The contact numbers for the DND EAP are below.
English: 1-800-663-1142, or 1-888-384-1152 (for people with hearing impairments).
French: 1-866-398-9505, or 1-866-433-3305 (for people with hearing impairments).
Tell them you're with DND; I said was with CCG and they were confused. I told them about the merger and they'll spread the word amongst their staff.
You will get a person on the phone 24/7 for immediate counselling or a referral to other supports. If you are currently in counselling through the old EAP, you can continue with your current provider until the case is closed.
For the invitation code, account setup instructions, and a booklets showing the resources available, check the Mental Health page on SeaReady if you're seagoing (search the homepage menu). I'll look into spreading the word shoreside too.

If you expect to be paid like them, expect to be posted like them... That's the extra 8% pay.

The 8% is more than made up for by the fact Im away from my wife and life for an extra 6 months for my workup, the regs get to go home at night at least. Its been a few long months so far.

Lots of RegF people do that too, when they are deploying with a unit that isn't from their base.

You don't cut current pay, you make changes to future deployments. The same way they have changed SDA and other allowances for follow-on deployments in the past.Thatll sure help the shortages of troops going on Reassurance, tell the 10ish percent of the subunit that is augmentees they get a paycut lmao
The other 90% didn't stop deploying when their pay was "cut" so I suspect the 10% of reservists won't either. Particularly with the massive pay raise we all just got.
