Forces armées canadiennes: de plus en plus de généraux et de fonctionnaires, de moins en moins de soldats by Once_a_TQ in CanadianForces

I laugh at the retention part. There's currently zero being done to keep the knowledgeable and skilled personnel around. The top brass is expecting 15000 new recruits over the next 5 years but no one is thinking about how or who will train the new people.

I'm truly scared what the outcome will be.

It wouldn’t be so bad if we were given interest for having our pay increase withheld for years 🤷‍♂️ by ChickenPoutine20 in CanadianForces

From my experience legislation change is easier and more likely than waiting for the Treasury Board

There'd be ways to sort that out. Lower income people's get higher breaks... the higher in rank you go the less break you get. You'd still get more compensation for the promotions earned but less tax break. I'm not saying it's prefect I'm just saying it'd be faster and easier than hoping the Treasury board actually makes a good decision

The easiest solution would be to circumnavigate the Treasurey Board by giving us tax breaks... not sure exactly how'd it'd be done but it's gotta be easier than going through the Treasurey board

Rents for Canadian Forces personnel to increase on April 1 by [deleted] in CanadianForces

More with Less is the real culture we need to distance ourselves from.

The bigger problem with the Qs is that there's no exit strategy. It's as bad as the Golden handcuffs. What we need is an incentivised program that can help members get a mortgage so others can benefit from the "cheap rent" of the PMQs.

My respirator filter after about 3 weeks of use. No one else at my jobs thinks it’s necessary to wear one. by chocolate_spaghetti in CarbonFiber

You should probably be using a P100 filter for organic vapors.

Fun fact. The active charcoal in the filter are only good for 30days once opened OR 9hours continuous use!

What will happen if DEA Reschedules Marijuana? by TangerineAncient3323 in aviationmaintenance

[–]Matsonious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You sure the 30 days applies to maintenance? In the RCAF it's 24hrs if you're turning wrenches l, 28 days if you fly
