That has always been a fun one for me when working at reserve units. Having SNCMs and officers complain about how they wish they could charge Cpl Blog for not parading and pointing out they could if they wanted to. All excited until they see what is involved. is it still maximum $50 fine?
Don't kknow if there is something that I missed. I was snooping around the CRA site and came across pension income sharing. Thought at first it was splitting but they are 2 different things so now trying to sort out what they are and how they affect things. The big thing I found is that CPP...
Ok and who decides that the rule is stupid? I think the rule that members are required to have a certain education level is stupid as I have worked with many that would not get in under the current standards. Worked with a CWO that only had grade 3 and was sharp as a tack when it came to his...
I have not seen anyone with the hair colour happening since the policy was changed.
I started shaving when beardforgen came out. Took the fun out of working with the army and wearing a beard to annoy them.
Interesting enough I have worked with 3 people that went through the "inappropriate comments" scenario and although it was a nightmare for them the first 2 both stuck to their guns and were ready to do it again but slightly differently. One was a MCpl back when females were to wear neutral...
Sooo - where is the problem? The change to hair is in basic terms it must be secured back but oh that is already there. Beards was easy to understand and had the CO clause to order restrictions that seemed clear to me. and as already said it has always been easy enough to ask higher for...
A part of the dress regs that appears to be forgotten or ignored the most is:
"Commanders at all levels shall ensure that personnel under their command, whether environmentally or extra-environmentally employed, are dressed in accordance with these instructions"
Some of the new message is...
but removing the liner is destruction of government property and you could be charged (actually had junior officer tell me that after he asked how I managed to shape mine instead of the pancake he had.).
Actually have a question as this has come up a few times to me. do they not teach...
The military would be fully activated and sent to fight it.
They have, they just use a different name - Canadian Armed Forces. Works great too, artillery can't get triple 7s but they can get chainsaws to train on.
Easier said than done in some cases.
I still have the purple pajamas for if I was ever to go to the field. Actually wore them twice I think.
I noticed a little bit in the dress regs about how when a new uniform is approved we are no longer allowed to wear the old without the CDS approval...
Butch was my style as a kid but we called it a brush cut.
Personally I found having long hair did make a difference when I was a runner. Didn't realize how much until I joined and had it cut off, was like I lost 20 pounds off my head and I didn't get as hot. The barber did mention if he...
ok admitting up front - I am being lazy here.
Can someone advise on the current dress regs in regards to males wearing earrings? I am wondering as I recently saw a couple members wearing what I know was not at standard before and do not recall an amendment sent around to change it. One had...
Yet the Federal Government has stepped into the provincial health care domain providing diabetes medicine and birth control with a plan to expand so guess they could have included something like Tylenol for seniors while they were at it.
As for the "mandated" - kind of tired of that argument...
We can? I seem to be a mix of 2 or 3 uniforms behind the announced modern uniforms. I do finally have a jacket with Velcro all over the place and just got name tags with anchors.
Wouldn't it be amazing if leaders were allowed to lead and determine if they needed their staff in house or could WFH? Work wise I could easily go with a split schedule but for appearances we do a full in office schedule with WFH days scattered when it makes sense (ie have an appointment that...
