Is there a difference between a no cost posting and first move on enrolment? What would I be entitled to under a no cost posting when all my stuff is still at home?

I've just completed my MOC training and will be posted to another unit that's on the same base (same city). I've been in for 2 yrs and have never recieved a cost move. Does anyone know what the IRP policy is with members like myself who've never recieved a move and all my effects are still at my...

Can anyone confirm that this infact is true? During IAP/BOTP in April, I paid for my rations which was $397 for every single month I was there. My entry plan was DEO.

You should definately talk to the recruiting centre to see if that degree will be recongized first.

Hey Maniac, where did you get the information on the SLT being in sept? If it's offical that would be excellent. Also would we be put on LWOP again?

Well I'm hoping they give us a week after BOTC before we have to head for SLT. That way I can head back to Toronto and get some luvin.

Yeah I'm planning on buying a laptop during SLT and hook up a wireless connection. I'm glad to hear it's becoming a norm there. I wouldn't bring it for basics though.

I got the joining instructions but during the brief, the corporal mentioned that maybe we should wait until we buy anything cause once we get there, we may find out we don't need it. Can someone give me a list of the MUST buys before we go (ie. items we won't be able to get at the CANEX)...

I bought a nice pair of running shoe, (for the indoor runs) for basics. Also picked up 2 pairs of running socks , the girl said it will help with blisters. Got my 10 percent discount which was nice. Anyone know if they will reimbursement the running shoes? hehe

How come someone changed the title to BMQ training? Are they having the Officers and NCMs all train together at St. Jean on the 10th?

Of all the officers I've had the pleasure of meeting, I've never seen such pettiness and bickering. The internet brings out the worse of people. At the end of the day, we're all apart of the same team people. Some people have a family and have to worry about things such as money. Shit the world...

Better to not pay us an extra 5 thousand a year and just lower our salary but not have us pay for board and food. That way, our overall taxable income is a lot lower.

Isnt the old plan 20 years, 40% pension, new plan 25 years, 50% pension?

I thought you run in army boots haha.

365 for 30-31 days of food? Thats roughly 12 bucks a day. 4 bucks a meal, not bad if you ask me.
