    Federal Government & Union spar over returning to office

    So in Halifax where I work, for new employees without at least 10 years, there "may" be a desk and there won't be parking. Every time someone gets posted, the other Branches are sniffing around to see if they can have the space. My Boss is away until next Sept, so I'm using his desk, but "my"...

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    Give the task to the Reserves. It'll give them something to do, and since they're already in a lot of communities, they'll already know who has weapons. They can seize them and store them in their armouries. (I totally jest, but I could see that being a COA).

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    So in Infantry speak, does this mean that in ON, you have to be a member of a Gun Club if you own a pistol, but you can't shoot said pistol (not a 12(6) one) at that gun club?

    Federal Government & Union spar over returning to office

    Yep. I worked there at Carling just before the final curtain. I was with the IT security group at the time. We told our bosses it was a bad idea having tons of Chinese students working there, and all of the Chinese "delegations" touring, but the Chinese were throwing $ around like they were...

    Benefits for Army Class A Reserve Officers

    So non-Duty travel is still a thing. The site I listed above has all the details. I used it a couple of times but be aware, depending on that is going on, you may have to pay for a commercial flight if you get bumped at the last minute. DAOD 2016-0 lays out who can travel and who must...

    Benefits for Army Class A Reserve Officers

    Hey, I'll try to answer your questions to the best of my ability and I welcome anyone with more knowledge than me to correct. If we're talking about Officers (or any Reservist in fact) on Class A service then the answers are: 1. No Medical benefits while not on duty. So if you fall of the...

    COURSE UPDATES - Armor

    I would suggest that your first action should be to contact your Unit and ask about possible upcoming courses. That being said, the summer is winding down now so it is unlikely you will be offered a course soon. I'm assuming your a reservist, so your Unit should be in touch soon with a date to...

    32nd Brigade Strength?

    We don't number Units in Canada the same as in other countries. So there isn't a 32nd Brigade, there is however a 32 CBG (Thirty Two Canadian Brigade Group) as listed in one of the links above. Your best course of action is to select three trades that interest you in order of priority, see if...

    PRes to CIC for Medical Reasons

    The three links below lay out the regulations around Cadet Organizations Administration and Training Service (COATS) (No longer CIC) enrolment. There is still a requirement to meet, but it is much lower. As I'm not a Dr., nor do I play one on the Internet :sneaky:, You best bet is to read the...

    Reconstitution

    Not great where I'm at. Lots of pers, both uniformed and not, who are on various accommodations. Many work less than 3 days a week if that. OT "Work from Home" yet never answer Teams or respond to emails for days. I am seeing another trend as well. More and more "Uniformed" jobs are being...

    New accommodations facility at CFB Esquimalt and plan to build more homes on military bases

    While I like your idea, I see some pitfalls: 1. What is the criteria for being allowed to rent one? ie. So many days attendance a month? Valid Force test? Green on ARV? etc...? You can't just allow reservists to rent them as you'll get people joining to get a place and never showing up (or...

    Reconstitution

    I can assure you that in 5XX at least, there has not been any reconstitution activities taking place (or not taking place as it were). As a matter of fact, our tempo has actually increased. Sure we cancelled a few gun salutes, but overall, there is still way more work than people to do it...

    LGBTQ Stuff (split from other political threads)

    From what I see, it's not the middle-of-the-road types that care. It's the attention whores and holier than thou types that just seem to like to rile things up just because. The first group don't bother me (I will admit I used to be bothered, but life's too short to get riled up about others...

    Soldiers Banned From Military/Veterans Themed Motorcycle Groups or Events?

    Each of the Divs was directed to produce an alcohol policy. AFAIK each Div may be different.
