I received my PCAT and my Release papers at the same time for January of 2025. I'm in the process of a 3a, which rebutting the decision. I have submitted it with my physio and doctors notes stating that i'm still in recovery. On a side note last friday a new CANFORGEN came out stating that they...

If my CoC states I'm invaluable to the unit, maybe that could give me a better chance at an extension?

Thank you for the reply. I believe there's additional pain and suffering I can apply for, but I'll have to dig deeper into the disability. I know the education amount goes up after 12 years enlisted, I'm at 10.5 years right now. So hopefully I'm in till then. For an extension would you ask...

PCAT was the base surgeon, I haven't received anything from Ottawa as of yet.

Good Day, Wrecked my knee during PT - 2022. Ripped portion of quadricep, ACL, ligaments and the list goes on. Had major surgery, was paid out a lump sum payment -2023. Was put on a PCAT in January 2024. Has anyone received disability pension after they received a lump sum for pain and...

1) AEC officers that I work with either work in the terminal or in the tower. This is all explained on the forces website. Most of the officers I work with have been controllers for life. No spec pay. A couple have moved onto major and outcan positions in weapons. 2)...

Overheard at work today that a tech got a 3 year posting with family to dismantle the cf-18's (I believe 8) and ship them back to Canada. I'm thinking the F35's aren't going to happen any time in my time in for the forces. Which is another 20 years lol.

I'm pretty sure for one that certain cases are more stream lined. Example; A scenario where the health condition is cut and dry. Broken arm, arm mended. Or scar tissue disturbing movement of knee, remove tissue. Done. Then there's conditions that could get worst and or get a larger payout. I...

I ripped my achilles in July, submitted all the paper work in Sept and i'm still in stage 1 as of today. I filled out my paperwork on the 20th of December for a partially torn ACL from my left knee from 2015 and I'm on stage three as of today. A person I work with had to have his knee...

It's a good idea not to be confrontational during training. Regardless of some of my classmates having higher marks, they didn't get their ideal posting. Saying that, I didn't get my first posting due to a family medical hardship from someone else on my course. Just do your best, work hard...

If he has trouble with one task and is good at another, make sure he talks with people that may be good at the tasks he is not and trade. Example; I was great at shining boots while I sucked at ironing, to this day I have ironed maybe 3-4 times but shined dozens of  boots. I didn't have a...

After training.

I wasn't going to post, but I have to. I've seen 280 lbs 6ft pass basic, as well as 5"8 200lbs pass basic. Your post actually made me laugh and once you get to basic you will laugh too. Out of 55 people on my course, 32 of them didn't pass the push up requirement and would of failed and been...

I've been posted Moose Jaw and there are no PMQ's available, which is fine because the ELQ's are quite nice. I was told there could be up to a 1-2 year wait to get a PMQ which is also fine, as the ELQ's are quite nice. My storage is in Vancouver and I've been told by Brookfield that they will...

Just moved from Comox to Moose Jaw. I was like yeah PLD!!! But then I realized the Provincial taxes are 6% higher so I lost $170 a month to taxes and PLD is $284 - Tax is $194 so really I'm getting an additional $24. I've got nothing to complain about however compared to Nova Scotia, so I'll...

I thought it was minus 400km each direction? Just got back and claim done from YMJ to YVR, I was entitled up to $528, but the plane tickets only cost $430, paid in full no questions. Don't forget to get your leave pass stamped by a library or RCMP or Doctor in the place you visited. Didn't...

I could of used this problem during basic, some of the boots that people took off could clear a room.

I'm doing an LTA in March, I'm hesitant to purchase my ticket because if there is a possibility of getting paid out for traveling via automobile, that's what I would rather do because I have stuff to bring back. Regina to Vancouver How do I calculate the benefit and is it a different amount...

The person in question was at work the whole week and didn't see the e-mail for the last 2 shifts they worked.
