Yes, they should be replaced. If I was in your shoes, I would find an Audiologist who deals directly with veteran affairs. Tell them your story and they will take it from there. I personally do not deal with VAC myself. My audiologist set me up with a new pair last year after having my old pair...

Looking for guidance. Retired a couple years back and finalizing some details for my last move. My wife and I are separating and I am not selling my present home. I asked Brookfield if I qualify for the Real Estate Incentive and was told no as I chose "elect not to sell" and my dependants would...

Well, it took over 6 weeks but they finally responded to my email and all was straightened out. Plus, the signature block had no name or number. Tks for the email address Mulan.

Booklet:  800-267-6542 still cannot get through on this number. mailbox is full. Website: 800-267-0325 did get through here, but it's a different department. I left a voicemail and they called me back. The lady I spoked to was helpful and understood my frustration. She tried calling the 6542...

Thanks for the info....I haven't come across that number. I'll give it a try tomorrow and let you know how I make out. I also sent an email to the address you provided. Again, thank you.

I've been trying their toll free number for a month and I'm at wits end. I am sick of their voice mail box always being full. I cannot find another number. I tried Sunlife, 17Wing and they don't have one either (or won't give it out). As it stands now, I have no medical coverage until I can gets...

Thanks...those are very good comments. I will implement them into my current resume. Very much appreciated.

Thanks Bern....I will try it. i do have most of the meat written out so I just have to "form" it. I haven't registered yet but I will. The position I am applying for ends this Sunday and the course isn't until a month or so from now.

Thank you very much for the link. I will give it a shot and let you know how I make out.

Will soon retire from the military after 20 years, now I'm looking at a temp position within the military as a civilian. Have to hang up the uniform as my PCat will force me to retire. Just wondering if anyone will be kind enough to post a resume template I could use. Our wing does offer a...

I have seen a lot of interesting comments. From them, maybe the situation is not as dire as I seen it. I have heard a lot of grumblings from people in my trade, and on this is what my comments have stemmed from. It seems, however, that the lure of making extra money is making some people rethink...

I understand where your both coming from CDN Aviator and Bert. I'm just trying grasp how many Air Force personnel we will lose due to the change. I am Air Force. If I wanted to be in the Army, I wouldv'e joined the Army. I'm not knocking the Army. I respect everyones' choice. It's just not for...

I respect you opinions and thoughts CDN Aviator, I really do. You're right, no sense keeping people around who will not/cannot deploy.  Then again, there is no point deploying if there is no one to deploy. It's a young man/woman's military, and looking collectively we are not that young. In our...

Well, right now the MSS are training with the Van Doos in Wainwright, so if thats not the field, I don't know what is. Also, the one point I was trying to make about the OT'ing of personnel, was that the field is more of a young man/womans' world, some people grow out of it. I respect your...

Looking for peoples' comments and thoughts on MSS. When first deployed to Cold Lake, MSS was a proof of concept and the future of the Air Force. My feeling was and still is, the beginning of the end of the Air Force as we know it. Seems like the military will be more "marine like". We'll have an...

I seem to recall reading a Canforgen or Canairgen about having to complete an Express test even on category or having a chit excusing you from certain aspects of the test. I've read most of them pertaining to the Express test but haven't come across this specifically. Anyone know which one I'm...

Thanks for the responses to this point. Yes, I was not on TCat for my fail. In hindsight, I should have requested a med chit to be excused but I really wanted to attempt it. As for my PER, I'm hoping for a promotion so it will affect me. If you read the sentence below the bold, that's the quote...

First, a brief history. Back in Dec, I did my express test not knowing if I was going to pass or not. I have problems with my feet, so I was excused the shuttle run, but I attempted to do the step test instead (I did want to pass, so i gave it a try) . After the second heart rate reading, I...

What are some disadvantages to being on a T Cat? Can you still go on courses and be sent on TD's?

New to the site. Just wondering what the CF policy is on LTA. Is it a right or entitlement. Meaning, if on TD for 60 or more days, can I demand LTA or is this one of those "discretionary" areas.
