But does the policy say that CAF members are not entitled to be dependents to a plan? That was the argument being made, and I honestly don't know. If one member is on LWOP for either an outcan posting, or mata/pata, don't they access the care then?

I get that. But even crazy angry folks can have legitimate points at times.

I thought here might be as good a place as any to pose this question. I was reading on REDDIT that members have been successfully listing their CAF Service Spouses as dependents on each others plans in order to receive benefits for items they are having done outside the CAF medical and dental...

Shucks. Here I thought we were going to implement another built from scratch system that would keep the contractor employed indefinitely fixing the bugs.

"Dayforce" Sounds like a program that will work excellent for any worker on a standard M-F, 9-5 schedule. Shift workers, nonstandard schedules, OT etc. meh, how many of those exceptions could there be /s

It is too bad we couldn't come up with a way to make having a family affordable on a single income, thus negating the need to implement many of these other financial incentives. Make it a family choice if both parents want to work, rather than having to work, and let those individuals pay out of...

My point exactly. As per many other posts, bully your opinion across as being the right one.

We are up to seven pages of debate on this issue, and while I may be wrong, there have been 0 comments by those who actually birth the children and are the most impacted. This may be because a) the forum in general has chased away most of the female members; b) none of the women want to inject...

I would ask the question before signing the offer, and make sure you are happy with the decision to go the Army route. While there is a process to change DEUs, it is becoming more rare at the Junior level to allow Army Logisticians to go Blue at the very beginning of their careers without...

Are you recommending we send them back to where they came from? I'm just curious on what a viable solution is for any colour of government to deal with this issue. The stats provided are the average costs, not what they are being given to spend on what they want. Why not go after the...

I think the stats are the average salary required, not the actual cost of housing.

That would have been a site to see, given that the last runway was closed to all air traffic in 2013.

I thought about this while I was typing that part out. I agree with the majority here that individuals who get huge face tattoos, at the time they choose to get those tattoos, are probably not what we are looking for as military personnel. Or they were you ng and stupid and got stars tattooed...

So judging a book by its cover are we? I would understand your argument if you said face tattoos are not congruent with the need to have a "professional look" due to the public duties in which the military is involved. But to write someone's credibility off just because they look different in my...
