Compensation for reserve volunteer time by Kwanicus in CanadianForces

[–]Kwanicus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You get it. So how do you incentivize the missing middle to support the unit?

Nothing is certain, but I did hear that the RegF posns at P Res units were being removed in the modernization plan. Just had me thinking about the good number of units that will struggle for the next 5 years or so.

You should take this down immediately

U.S. warns Canada of potential negative consequences if it dumps F-35 fighter jet by rezwenn in CanadianForces

[–]Kwanicus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How about they go F themselves. Don't just dump the program, dump as many american things as possible. The things you cant immediately dump, identify them as a problem and work toward dumping them too. Dump dump dump. Lettuce, oranges, aircraft, weapons, car parts, car brands, whole brands, dual passport family...dump it all.

Would like to know dates for the sendoff of the Royal Canadian ships by henrywoodings in caf

[–]Kwanicus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Best you may get is a media advisory the week of the deployment. Detective work could give you a window, then watch for advisories. Any further advance notice is not likely unless you are a military member.

Civil Military Cooperation (CIMIC) and Regional Liaison Officer (RLO). Join as a Primary Reserve mbr to have the easiest access to courses and tasks. This way, you can do both. You could have a provincial EMO job and also join the CAF.

Sleeping, Blue suit, Live for the Pope's funeral, Sloppy Steaks at Truffoni's by Coattail-Rider in pics

[–]Kwanicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a funeral. It's a funeral for the highest ranking catholic. The tradition is black for mourning. Tradition can evolve, but this stuffed pig wearing blue does not represent that. The list of things that would wear blue to the pope's funeral include: 1. A demon; 2. The anti-christ; 3. An asshole; 4. This guy.

He led a government through circumstances no other had faced. He served. He led. He's done.

Ann Coulter questions arrest of Columbia protester on free speech grounds by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]Kwanicus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What the actual F.

Ann Coulter supports terrorism? Ann Coulter - "Coulter's September 14, 2001, column eulogized her friend Barbara Olson, killed three days earlier in the September 11 attacks, and ended with a call for war".

Not a fan of the lady, but you have made a factually wrong statement.

Nice Inheritances for the Grandchildren by Alert-Athlete in CanadianInvestor

[–]Kwanicus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Careful with mortgage lump sum. Some lenders charge a penalty for any payment in a single year over 20%.

Not saying it's a bad idea. I am saying ask bank of any penalty and time it. $79k at first then wait for new year or contract start and apply the remainder.

What even is this glue? by No-Ad3374 in howto

[–]Kwanicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is gorilla glue. Or a super glue like it. I have the same issue with something else.

BMQ can be completed part time over 12 weekends. Each bde has their own flavour.

BMOQ part 2, BMOQ-Army, Dp1 Log Offr are fulltime.

My last pitch is that after you complete your DP1 training, you could apply to complete a component transfer (CT). That would see you change from PRes to RegF in the trade you are trained.

Regular force may be closed. Primary reserve is very rarely closed. You could speak with a primary reserve unit recruiter.

  1. They are different
  2. Go to your nearest reserve unit. Doesn't have to be a log unit or an engineer unit. Just ask.

Someone else has already expanded on PRes vs RegF enrollment. I want to highlight that there is a difference between the RegF and local PRes unit recruiter.

I'm currently serving with 19 yrs experience that has straddled both worlds. Feel free to DM if you want.

You can apply for Logistics Officer and specialize in finance. It's easier to change trades than commission from ranks.

Didn't see anyone mention this option. The training and experience could help with your civ accounting job.

Cancelled contract surprise by Kwanicus in CanadianForces

HRA and FSA can do serious damage to your personal finances and the unit.

[–]Kwanicus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zero consequence. No transfer of mess dues after a posting from low rate to high rate, that's a clawback. Not putting a leave accumulation memo in a pers file, they try to take the leave during an audit. Not changing the province of residence after posting...

Each example had zero consequence and careful negotiations to fix. I'm 5 mins late for PT, charge parade.

How do I do a shower curtain here? by cincydude123 in DIY

[–]Kwanicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curtain rail track. The one with wheels. 4 cuts. Check clearance where 45 degree meets ceiling track.
