    When my husband took parental leave, the following tax year we got $1300 less than what we usually get.  EI doesnt take out enough taxes, as its all one tax rate.

    Moving is cheap?

    Wow, are you sure? Two years ago we were posted from Kingston to Winnipeg,  and I remember it not costing not even half of that amount for our family

    Forced to pay / belong to a mess [Merged]

    We JUST had our first baby,  and my husband had to buy a mess kit, and pay for the mess meal as well x2 (for me as well, plus my ball gown). Thats right when he got his comission as a 2LT so the pay wasnt that high.  That was $800 in one month. No one in the military will give you pity that just...

    CF pension reform and terms of service changes

    My husband went to RMC in the fall of 2000 when they were told it was 20 years. However, when he arrived at CFANS after graduation, the CM told them that it is 25 years for the guys that just got there from RMC. Anyone have any idea why he would say this when they joined the military in June...
