Good on ya,
But after all these years, don't you think that you could have figured out a way of answering your own question??
I am sure you would have been able to present your case to your employer, maybe by explaining to him the fact that your valuable experience is not only and asset to your unit, but to his company.....
just a thought from a guy who also has a gong for 12 years......

Trust me i have tried, but my employer does not realise the signifigance of military training i have even tried to work with CFLC and our
battle captain to try to get them to give me time, but anything we have done has fallen on deaf ears. I've been fighting with my civy job for 9
years now since i started and i think in the 9 years they gave me time off once.I can't just quit to do Reserve training, i have a good job that pays
very well and gives my family all we need, so quitting is not an option. But as i progress higher up the food chain at work i will eventually get all my
weekends off which will make training alot easier that way, but as far as going away on summer courses, i've just about given up on that unless
there is a disaster, such as the flood of 97 or the wild fires in BC those were the only times i was able to get time off, and when they did they used
it in the media to show hey look at us look at us, we support the military, which was total B******T!!!! so like i said i just keep soldiering on,
hopefull something will be done but if not hey i make due with what i have, but i will never quit, i love my Regiment too much!!!!
Cheers!!! :warstory:
