Right now he is a Troop Sergeant, but he has served as a Troop Warrant for a few years and as an "go to" guy for all things infantry and IBTS related. By several years, I mean he has been with us for about 7 years now.  I am not sure why this is coming up all of a sudden since it has not been a...

Thanks for the quick reply. He is not OTing. If the ref is for "advisors", then should all Inf/Armd pers who leave their unit and go on the PRL for a Class B take down their regimental affliation cap badge and begin wearing the Inf/Armd branch cap badge?

I have a question that I hope someone can assist me with in regards to what cap badge someone should be wearing. I belong to a Comm Regt where the pers trained as communicators wear the Communications Branch cap badge.  One of the soldiers, a trained infantry Senior NCO, who has been with us...

Speaking from experience in dealing with one of the JPSUs (and I hope they are all not like this) - it would be nice if the hired a few Reservists who have only been Reservists, as I had to do a lot of "explaining" and "educating" about Reservists issues/entitlements when I had to deal with...

"Newly-minted Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino hasn't exactly been winning friends recently. Nor his influence on veterans been inspirational, except in the way that an emetic inspires. It appears the Honourable Minister is in over his head with his portfolio... or perhaps gagging on...

From Friday, 06 Sep 13: A B.C. Supreme Court justice says current and former members of the Canadian Forces who were injured in Afghanistan can continue their class-action lawsuit against the federal government. The lawsuit was filed last fall, with plaintiffs arguing the new Veterans Charter...

Does anyone have a copy of the 2005 Depart with Diginity guidelines they can PM me?  I know they were replaced by the 2009 version, but I am specifically looking for the 2005 one. Much appreciated.

I agree - poorly worded policy.  I wonder why it was removed in subsequent CF IRP policy docs. Still can't figure out why they are applying the 2006-2007 policy to a 2012 return move.  I have asked for clarification, but I wonder if anyone knows of a reservist who had a recent return move and...

Distance from original was 203 kms. Distance to the 3rd location will most likely be under 40 km as I would like to stay in the area.  Also, as point of clarification, I am NOT proceeding to a new place of duty, I am staying in the local area.

Thanks DAPaterson, I have checked - no stipulation on how my return move will be administered.

I am a Reservist who began a class B contract in 2007 and was moved to the location of the contract at the expense of the Crown under CF IRP - APS 2006-2007 Policies. My contract has now ended and I have asked for a return move to a third location.  I am being told that the third location has...

Grapeshot: Some info can be found at this link:  http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/salute/article/809 It is from the latest issue of SALUTE - the VAC newsletter.

Thanks - I understand all the requirements in regards to fitness testing - but my MELs currently exempt me from fitness testing. I am not looking at getting around any of the requirements, but as I understand it, this is what the AR is suppose to determine - what the MELs mean for my career.

DAA - thanks for your understanding of my post. I have spoken with the IPSU and, regrettably, they were not much help with the specifics of remaining on full time service until the AR has been completed (at this time it has not even started yet).  They were, however, helpful in providing some...
