    CT Paperwork

    George, Thanks for the advice, I took a bit of Xmas leave but now I am back.  Yes, I had met the unit, interviewed and been accepted.  However, due to time line issues, I ended up being transferred to the SuppRes and I am in the process of being transferred back to the unit right now.  This is...

    CT Paperwork

    Evening all, I am in the process of a CT from RegF to PRes and need to send the Request to Transfer to the gaining unit in order to receive my new position number.  Is there an official direction for drafting this message?  If anyone has an example I could reference and could PM it to me, I...

    Mugged?!?!?WTF!!!!!

    GENOMS.... I lived in Guelph for 5 years.  I walked all over that city at all hours of the day and never once had a problem.  That being said, I worked at a local nightspot downtown and saw lots of stupidity in the street.  Sometimes it was just a case of being in the wrong place at the...

    Individual Learning Plans (ILP) [Merged]

    Nato, When I sent my original ILP in, I had a form that was given to me by the Ed O.  However, I have to make an amendment so I used the form at the CDA website and it looks pretty slick when it is all done.  It is the same information anyways, just looks so much neater! The documentation I...

    Pay: Statements, Backpay, Benefits, Deductions (Taxes, T4), Deployed ect... [MERGED]

    I'll second Torlyn's good advice.  My education credits got lost in the shuffle at the accountant's office, and I had a couple hurting tax years when I starting to pull down some money! Oh was I wishing for those credits.  There is nothing like thinking you are getting a return to find out that...

    Conflict in Darfur, Sudan - The Mega Thread

    The 10,000 troops are not supposed to be involved with Darfur.  It may turn out that way, but they are going to help implement the North/South peace agreement that was signed earlier this year. One important consideration is that we just cannot send troops into any country that we want.  If we...

    Past Co-op Students to be paid in LFCA

    Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't this refer to high school work terms?   Being a reasonable distance form a unit, no one I went to high school with worked with the Reserves (for the coop program anyways)....but I have heard of others taking advantage of this opportunity.   **edit**  I...

    Prince Harry faces outcry at Nazi costume

    This expectation (because of who his grandmother was) was unfairly lumped upon him, I would agree with that.  However, I have not heard many complaints about the lifestyle that it has brought him.  Perhaps Eton failed to teach him the age old adage of "there is no such thing as a free lunch."...

    Should the toast to the Queen be omitted from Mess Dinner's

    So long as we maintain a link to the Monarchy, then it is appropriate for us to toast the King or Queen at our mess dinners.  Personally, I think it is time to jettison that particular connection.  Make no mistake about it, Britain cast Canada aside to placate both the French and the...

    PM should try military's housing

    Jay Hill has been saying this stuff for a while now.  He has done a good job on our behalf.  Now whether anything comes out of his work is another thing....And the true test of any politician is what they do when they are in power.  Although I am happy to see that he is still making speeches...

    CFHA Residential Housing Unit (RHU)-old PMQ [MERGED]

    The thing that really gets my ire in this housing situation is CFHA's stance.  SCONDVA interviewed the CEO of CFHA earlier this year, and the proceedings were televised on CPAC.  During the interview the CEO, Olga Massicotte, told the committee outright that if members are unsatisfied they can...

    Somalia scandal

    I don't imagine that this is going to bring an outcry from the public.  In fact this topic has already hit the papers on a number of occasions this year. The proceedings (which have to happen every two years) was to determine whether they could go ahead with charges.  They found that there was...
