Sounds like disinformation. We're hiring 300,000 reserve reservists

Ho hum , it's just a bunch of reservists, It's not like we're talking about real people. You know like somebody important....
You know it almost like nobody at at NDHQ understands where they get those people who fill in the gaps when you have to deploy say a battlegroup to Latvia.
Or where you get bodies to deal with floods , ice storms , fires ...
And coures we all know the only people who are in trouble aren't the ones who are deciding how the pot gets divvied up.
I feel sorry for those who've spoke to the media
Anyone want to bet that they spend more on investigating the leaks then it would have cost them to fork over the half day's pay to those units.
Please somebody please tell me I'm just being cynical.

If there is one holy day for the CAF it is Remembrance Day. No one should be told there is a "cap" on parading soldiers.

Except it wasn't NDHQ that made that decision...
Blame NDHQ when they make bad policy, but don't blame them when an HQ a few levels lower makes an unpopular decision.
The entire CAF is having to find savings. One CBG decided that paying soldiers to parade was worth less than paying them to train.

How zelaous, exactly, can an ARes CBG get ?
@dapaterson read that and is rocking back and forth in a corner somewhere.

As an Army Reserve unit CO I never spent less than 150% of my initial allocation for Res F pay.
When you assume that units in kilts are incapable of doing math, and plan to spend the 25% of their allocation that they will fail to spend, you'll still leave money on the table .

Handing out 1 and 3 year contracts like candy eats budget pretty quickly. I was offered a 3 year to augment our regforce tech but turned it down. Not worth the pay cut

Maybe like that time when the G1 pushed out a 40 page slide deck package describing how all the units' recruiting staff would come under command Bde HQ (i.e. him), then he terribly mismanaged those resources to the point that the recruiters quit and all the units ran out of people?
And he didn't get fired?
Like that time?

Reg Force pay is essentially the one thing the GoC won't cut. It's political poison, which is why even back in the '90s pay was frozen not cut. FRP happened, but people were paid to walk away before their ToS was completed.
