    Walts, posers & wannabes (merged)

    I can only speak to the fact of our (the CAF's) policy.  It is quite clear an explicit, not withstanding your friends experience.  Taken from:  http://www.forces.ca/en/page/applynow-100#age "WHO CAN APPLY: To apply to the Forces, you must: Be a Canadian Citizen. Be 17 years of age, with...

    Walts, posers & wannabes (merged)

    Hi there, One of the first things you can ask these individuals for is their Military Personnel Resume Record (MPRR).  It is a document that sums up all of your promotions, courses, postings (areas you worked), and also has information on their type of release (it is in a coded form at the...

    Esquimalt 5K

    It was a good run!  Odd though, that it was the Admiral's run and he wasn't there....  In fact, no one from the senior (D100 types) came out....  Lead from the front folks!

    Navy equivalent to AJOSC?

    Being a long-time navy guy still on the coast, and as someone who has completed his AJOSQ, and is waiting to do the ATOC - I can state that the Navy does not have anything like AJOSQ.  That said, I doubt there would be a benefit for it.  Outide of a few of the modules, I doubt that even the...

    More sailors needed for Canada's warships

    Who knows, with the CANFORGEN released today stating the updated (and navy heavy) list of trades with hiring bonuses - maybe in the next few years things will ease up.......  Not likely!

    Gag Bos'n Pipes

    We got this one piped a few years back - Dockyard work Heywood Jablome, bridge.  The poor guy was a french OS who had a heavy accent.  Blended the two names together perfectly.  I always loved with the pipes were made because there was a collective chuckly throughout the ship as you waited...

    CAP Syllabus - 2008?

    Don't even get my started with that!  We arrived 2-3 weeks before the Eng courses and there were no problems.  Ya, I'm sure some of the courses weren't the best at cleaning up after themselves at all times, but I can tell you for a fact that I saw a number of the Eng troops cleaning kit in the...

    CAP Syllabus - 2008?

    Life in the navy

    I think it's almost impossible for someone to tell you which is going to be better, or more interesting.  Even with answering questions for you, you're not going to get a very good idea of what either job entails.  I used to be  a NESOP, and there is an incredible amount of down time -...

    CAP Aldershot

    Does anybody have a copy of the kit list and/or the training instructions for the course?  The link provided on the course loading message leads to a page for the joining instructions that is full of broken links.  In surfing the CTC website, I haven't been able to find the document.  Any...

    Short Leave for Maternity?

    PO2 fin, Thanks for the reply.  You're absolutely correct that they could sort out their leave as they see fit, and since the member still has annual, they could also take that.  I just thought I remembered that a policy existed somewhere that granted members a day or two of short leave upon...

    Short Leave for Maternity?

    I don't believe I have short and special confused.  Short leave can be granted by unit CO's as they see fit (up to two days/month).  Special leave is granted based on circumstances related to CFAO 16-1 sec 8 sub 108.

    Short Leave for Maternity?

    I've looked in the CFAO's and other documents and couldn't find an answer so I thought I'd open it up to the experience on the board.  If a member and their spouce have a baby and the spouce is going to take the mat leave, is the member entitled to any short leave (day or two) immediatly...

    Ten Peeves Dogs Have About Humans

    Lets not fool ourselves as to who rules over who.  If an outsider was to look in and see the human serving the dogs their food, following behind them when they walk, and then cleaning up their poop - it's easy to see who is whose boss! I for one, submit and bow down to our furry masters.

    New Navy Rank Slip-ons

    I am in the unique position as a (soon to be commissioned) naval officer who will be working for the MP's -  that there are no CAG slip-ons in the system for me.  The army has the slip-ons that say MP and sew-on's for the airforce, but nothing for the navy (guess we don't exist).  When I asked...

    Questions regarding getting posted

    Since NLJ is a young navy supply tech with hopes of hitting a coast I felt it was prudent to talk about the coasts.  Due to shortages of accomodation in the shacks a reg force, trained individual would not be allowed (under most circumstances) to stay in them when posted to base.  You can...
