    I am a CAF member & I want better pay and benefits (a merged thread)

    Who's holier than thou? Never mind... I know your kind well. Not to worry though, as this will be my last post.

    I am a CAF member & I want better pay and benefits (a merged thread)

    His opinions on the subject of discussion, as a guy with zero skin in the game, are irrelevant to me. I asked a simple, legitimate, question to a fellow serving member. Wasn't his place to answer, especially not with sarcasm, for which he has scolded many others. Same goes for you. You don't...

    Islamic Terrorism in the West ( Mega thread)

    You probably should have read my post after the one you just quoted.

    I am a CAF member & I want better pay and benefits (a merged thread)

    It's a very simple question. And btw, what's it to you? As a non-serving member who is unaffected by these changes, your opinion - though entitled to it - really has no bearing on the topic of discussion.

    No need on my account... I'm done.

    Blow money on parties for past wars, or invest in military capability and support to vets?

    The MND would have to approve the TD expenditures as this would likely qualify as a conference  ;D

    What's the Dumbest Thing You've SEEN Today?

    Nope, not even close. A nine-year-old girl using an Uzi is indefensible.  Wait until the kid is a bit older and more capable of safely handling it. To try and make it sound "normal" - which it is anything but - does nothing but prejudice the defence of responsible gun ownership rights and laws.

    I am a CAF member & I want better pay and benefits (a merged thread)

    As a CF member and thus someone who could have potentially used this entitlement to your benefit in the future, care to explain what's so good about this change?

    What's the Dumbest Thing You've SEEN Today?

    I disagree. None of the points he makes are salient nor can anything he said be considered intelligent human interaction. He compared allowing a nine-year-old girl to fire an Uzi (on full auto no less), with taking a ride in a car or a swim in the backyard pool. The comparison was asinine and...

    I am a CAF member & I want better pay and benefits (a merged thread)

    Sure, no worries. We'll just call it the Retired Canadian Forces Health and Dental Care Plan. Nothing would make me happier than to de-link every single aspect of my compensation and benefits from the Public Service, for reasons I've previously stated elsewhere on here.

    They were just happy to get the "free" YFR  ;D

    Syria Superthread [merged]

    I don't think they're ISIS forces, but another anti-Assad group, or groups, in the region. ISIS on the Israeli border would be a very, very bad thing.

    Islamic Terrorism in the West ( Mega thread)

    There's probably no practical way of making it work in many cases, but it sure felt good saying it. :-)

    Islamic Terrorism in the West ( Mega thread)

    If you leave this country to go fight in another, your whole immediate family (parents, siblings, spouse, children) should be subject to deportation. I'm betting this would make most, if not all of them, think twice.

    Retired general claims $72K in moving expenses (CTV)

    Appears to affect "same city" moves only i.e. you still get your final move to your IPR on release (if you qualify), but it can't be within the same city (however that will be defined).

    What's the Dumbest Thing You've SEEN Today?

    Well there you have it. I guess it is ok to let a nine-year-old shoot an Uzi afterall... stand-down everyone.
