I think CANEX should ship their stock to Romania with the 6 pack, I bet they would be popular their at the discos.

Gen Gauthier?  He liked to talk a lot. He was a very important man.

Or perhaps this whole thing was just orchestrated as a PR stunt before the TB cuts or modifies yet another one of our benefits.  IR benefits and severance pay come to mind....

The key senior leadership positions in the RCAF seem to be all filling up with "Fighter Group" personnel. The latest is MGen Wheeler, not to mention the CDS himself. I would not be surprised to see the focus of any new major procurements in the RCAF reflect this trend. It is what it is.

I  can see them now getting dusty on the racks at CANEX like the new windbreaker no one is buying for $99.00. Perhaps when they are marked down to 95% off I might get one for someone I don't like as a gift. 

Gee wow, no I hadn't, been walking around with my eyes closed. But a few new buildings means we have to close all the dining halls but one? I don't think so, different budget all together.

I am back in Borden for a few months this fall and could not help but notice how the base has really deteriorated. Everyone crammed into one dining hall, grounds keeping and cleaner staff pretty much non-existent, and to cap things off, the mess was out of Creemore beer last week. (I am joking...

What is happening now is not like the 90's. We are now dealing with the recommendations of strat review, and death by a thousand cuts. It coincided with the end of the "combat mission" in the STan. There are more cuts a coming and the line up at the release section is getting longer. Sure we...

You could apply for ROTP after first year, not sure how going to school out of country would hurt you though. Otherwise, our wage and benefits package is pretty good so paying off your loan will be more manageable. Go to school in Quebec, the price is a lot cheaper.

No worries my friend, ask me anything, my wife is a clerk and has a wealth of knowledge in this stuff. Err, wait, she just read your post....your on your own mate, good luck with the years of experience.

Pretty harsh generalization, if I were a clerk I would take objection to your comment. Seems to me I have seen all trades represented at STs and CMs, including MPs.

I am wondering if the same drug testing policy regular force members have applies to HCols???  :-X

With the latest threat of a referendum, it is good that NB Power did not sell all of its resources to Quebec Hydro, and potentially put the entire provinces natural resources in the hands of a foreign company. I am sure many other Big Business decisions will be based on this threat as well. I...

I agree, but following this logic, a member does not approve himself to be on IR, it is a CoC thing. No matter what rank, the members CO or Formation Commander is the authority that allowed it.  Perhaps what should have been done is to change the guidelines or rules. I see requests for IR all...

AV, I feel for your situation. Although not on IR right now, I have spent many a years away from family, not by choice. I knew IR rule changes were coming but I never expected it to be this severe. the result of all this will be to lose many valued and experienced personnel, who have already...

That is truly the bottom line here. DCBA conf in Ottawa in Sep should be interesting.

Well I guess they had a meeting without your knowledge. The CF if in constant contact with TB, only requires approval of the TB Secretary to get amended, no meeting required. Bottom line is the Brass realized they did a "my bad" on this issue and have now taken the big step to make it a little...

Again, like I said previously, the amendment has arrived and it pertains to the timing of the implementation.  :cheers:

Thankfully, there are Ottawa (or google) experts on here, and the mystery is solved, we did this to ourselves and are now trying to dig ourselves out of a hole.
