I'm looking for advice here from anyone who has first hand, exact knowledge about the latest IRP policies and if someone actually did what I'm thinking (only thinking about it at this time) to do. I'm currently OUTCAN and I know the area that I will be posted back to (as the military is paying...

Did a quick check and couldn't find this on the site.  I'm currently not in Canada (in the States) and I have a question as I cannot remember the specifics.  My question is, what is the min distance a mbr must be away from their home on TD in order to be authorized a hotel?  TD is for one day...

Checked and couldn't find this on the site, so I'm posting it.  If it is already elsewhere on the site, may the mods please relocate it to the appropriate location? http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/air-force-commander-links-canada-s-airstrikes-to-soldier-s-death-1.2085178 Stephanie Levitz, The...

I've been feeling this way for a while, but have, admittedly been afraid to talk about it.  After coming back from Afghanistan and decompression, my personal drive (which was normally quite high) really sucked.  In fact, I wasn't motivated.  Little did I know that other people felt the same...

There is a planned flypast of seven Griffons over the National War Memorial in Ottawa on Remembrance Day.  This is to celebrate their return from Afghanistan.  I'll be there.

I was in the Orleans Lowe's today and asked if they still give the military discount.  They "do", but the cashier handed me a flyer stating: Dear Lowe's Customer, We have offered a military discount at this store in the past.  Regrettably this was done in error.  For a number of reasons, this...

I searched the forums and could not find an already existing thread to answer my questions.  I'm hoping that my MP friends out there can help me. I received a ticket today while driving in my civy veh on a base in Ontario.  I feel that I came to a stop, but alas, the MP did not feel the same. ...

Just switched to CNN and a show called "Taliban" is on right now.  It looks like a journalist is travelling with them.

Here's an article that was written by a CP reporter about the 2010 Olympics and the military's provision of security for it.  In particular, pay attention to the Griffon comments: By Steve Rennie, THE CANADIAN PRESS KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — The need for Canadian Forces helicopters to help...

To the mods/staff of Milnet.ca/Army.ca, I realize that this topic has been brought up before, but perhaps the approach taken by the other Air Force member who did bring it up was incorrect.  His point of Air Techs and AEREs not being part of the "support" trades is valid.  AEREs and Air Techs...

I don't know if anybody was watching the National on CBC tonight, but once again the media has screwed up!  The story was about George Bush vetoing a bill that Congress had just passed that set a troop withdrawal date for the American forces to come out of Iraq.  Peter Mansbridge was speaking...

Zoomie, actually the original topic was Cadpat and the blue nametags, etc.   I commented on that and never stated that it was necessary for Tac Hel to have the C8.   What Tac Hel needs are the same basic equipment that anybody in the Army gets, including RMS clerks, etc. that deploy with the...
