Joining the primary reserves after 3B release

Tree Hugger,
It is evident that you are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
The Redress system does work..... (most of the time)... The redress will be passed up, it will be analyzed based of facts, laws and regulations AND a decision will be made. It will be transmitted to you.... at that time it is your right to indicate your dissagreement with the decision made (based on facts) and you can ask that the redress be sent up to a higher authority...

Have you thought of contacting "the centre"? (even while Redress is underway)
There are some pretty dedicated people over there that have all the resources of the CF at their fingertips and their job is to look after you.

Good luck

Cheers!

Time to revive this old thread!

My story is on this and a couple other threads of similar topics, but I'll update this one.  I submitted my grievance Oct 2005 and today (18 Jan 2007)I recieved my disclosure package from DMCARM ref my ROG.  I won't even complain on this lengthy process - I just don't have it in me.

Bottom line:  DMCARM's recommendations include my re-enrollment in the Regular or Reserve forces as a LogO (air or navy).  Needless to say I'm estatic!  I can't believe this has worked out, and that the system can work - I had been joking that the reason DMCARM was taking so long is that they were searching for some way to reject my ROG!  So if anyone from DMCARM visits this site, I'm sorry!

I had a lot of people in my corner on this one -several of my doctors, a couple of my CO's, my favorite Maj., my case manager, family, friends, Army.ca members etc.etc.  What a difference a good support system can make!

I'll choose to go Navy reserve - I was in the reserves before I went ROTP.

What a great day!

tree hugger....
keep this in your back pocket until all the paperwork has been done but, if you were pert well hustled out of your unit with a 3B and weren't allowed to train for a long time, it may be possible that you are entitled to the Class A days you would have received had you been permitted to train.

My Mom also asked about back pay... would be nice and I sure could use it, but like alot of us - it's not about the money.

My happy dance was rusty but effective.

It's "officially" official!  Got the letter from DMCARM - I'm back in.  They said I can re-enroll anythime between today and May 2007.  He is also instructing DMCARM 5b (whomever they are...) to communicate with CFRG to "initiate the process of (my) redirected re-enrollment".

I had already been in contact with HMCS York so they've already sent for my VFS.  It's kind of scary that after waiting so long, I could be back in in a couple of months....

Whoop!!

Good for you - am glad things worked out.

I am still of an opinion that you should ask DMCARM about all those class A parades that you were prevented from attending... +/- 37.5 mandays per year is the basic budget per individual...  A lot will depend on what the decision will say and what your last CO is willing to vouch for.
