    University Training Plan NCM (UTPNCM) 2005 - 2018 [Merged]

    ok , sidemount, that kinda falls in with what my PSO said, it didn't "really" matter what course I took, but she did mention about how the course would fit in with the degree path, and the fact that it may fill an elective , thanks for the input.

    University Training Plan NCM (UTPNCM) 2005 - 2018 [Merged]

    Mornin guys an gals, have a quick question. I'm looking at applying for the UTPNCM in a year or two, and in the meantime I'm going to be taking some university courses since it was recommended to do so. It would appear obvious that taking a course with an interest in your degree of choice would...

    Benefits Cut...

    So I heard today, unofficially, that these rate cuts/allowance removals ( whatever you would like to call them; the removal of these benefits that fall into 'separation allowance' et al.) including the enforcing of all members on IR to now pay for Quarters and Rations is under review and will...

    Allowances - Post Living Differential (PLD) [MERGED]

    Thanks brothers, actually I'm moving out of the area and am trying to find out if where my "primary residence" is falls in the PLDA. I know the city itself falls within the PLDA, just not sure of the boundaries on it. Weird that my BOR was having trouble finding it, the actual city didn't seem...

    Allowances - Post Living Differential (PLD) [MERGED]

    OK, might be a shot in the dark here, went to my BOR today to find out if my primary residence falls within the geographical boundaries and they couldn't find it. Does anyone know the geographical boundaries for the Kamloops/Kelowna area ? It is a stated PLD area, but we can't seem to find the...

    Question for NCI/NES Ops

    most likely you go west, so Esquimalt, since that's where you do your trade training ( QL3 ). WHile there, you may do your NETP first, or do it after. If your NETP course comes first then you most likely wait until after the QL3 is done to get your posting, which includes among other things...

    Allowances - Post Living Differential (PLD) [MERGED]

    did a search and didn't find it, so here's my question. Does anyone know where I can find a map of the various areas that PLD occurs in? I am trying to find out what the coverage area is for my posting after QL3, and I just found out that I may be entitled to some retroactive pay regarding PLD...

    NCI Op

    Well Danno, if you "feel old at 27", imagine joining up at 39, waiting a year and a half, getting in at 40, and I'll be another 2 years older after I finish my QL3.  I originally signed up for the electronics trade, figured it would be fun, challenging, and thought I knew a little about it...

    Long term health effects from a career in the forces.

    Well speaking from an "older" perspective, aches and pains in the knees, joints and back are part of getting older. You'll get them eventually. One thing I can say about the forces, is that while I myself am still a "newbie", I've been healthier since I joined, in better shape, and received tons...

    NCI OP career progression

    AHA! A passport then I shall seek. If it means the difference between waiting and actually doing something ( and therefore hopefully being seen as "proactive") then I choose the latter.

    NCI OP career progression

    Gashbag, thanks for the insight, just what I was looking for. Regarding the security clearance, our class signed some papers that had our clearance levels on them, while I thought this was what we were "agreeing" to ( so DND could proceed with our security check/clearance) , others were saying...

    NCI OP career progression

    hmm, well thanks for the info, I knew that I could be waiting for awhile on PAT to do my QL3, and NETP could take some time, as I understand it, the waiting is primarily due to having enough students ready to do the course, and of course an instuctor. Thanks for some insight into the timeframe...

    NCI OP career progression

    I've checked this site, and others, and have found some of the information that I've been searching for, but would like to get some more clarification. As my PO said, "...black and spic and span white...", so here's my inquiry; I am currently doing my BMQ at St Jean, fun stuff, and would like...

    Fitness for Operational Requirements of CAF Employment ( FORCE )

    kcaputs- yes, pushups are a necessity, and a yearly evaluation. Having gone from not doing them in years to achieving more than my "minimum", I feel pretty good about that, there's always room for improvement. I've found that telling myself that "there's always room to improve" has helped me...

    Fitness for Operational Requirements of CAF Employment ( FORCE )

      from what I understand, regarding the CF expres test and qaulifications, those individuals under 35 who do not meet the qaulification level but meet the threshold will go to RFT, ( warrior training, fat camp, regimiental fitness training) which apparently is extensive physical training and...

    how long does it take, really?

    hmmm, thanks for all the reply's. Some were ... interesting. TheNewt and Searyn, you guys I think hit it on the proverbial head. How we place value on ourselves is not neccessarilly based on the numbers on a paycheck. There is something called "self-satisfaction", also known as 'self-worth', or...
