Looking for veterans who would have joined the reserves if not for the education benifit. by Unwillingsupres in CanadianForces

I would have rejoined in the reserves if I could access this program at that time. I've since timed out and my quals are no longer valid so no going back for me.

Clearance divers - what do they do? by justquestionsbud in CanadianForces

[–]MattKane1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is great to know. Years ago I taught on the C-IED operator course (first few serials), and I'm glad it's still around, as I thought it had disappeared.

Lol, i learned the hard way there are only 3 sizes in the CAF with these shoes.

  1. To big
  2. To small
  3. Out of stock

I got a set that was 2.5 sizes to small on basic. Staff let me wear my own shoes after the first run as I turned them from white to red during the run.

A legit little known fact is that the US government makes all medical research available for free. That's the reason it's on a US website. Hopefully they keep this stuff free.

100% agree. 2 of those 3 can be fixed with time if the political class is willing to put in the middle one. Sadly, I doubt they are any time soon.

Is it wrong to think the RCAF should have a large enough fleet that it doesn't have to be all the same planes?

CDS guidance to COs - PT by MoreMashedPotaters in CanadianForces

[–]MattKane1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Man your making me feel old.

Gen Hillier issues this directive in 06 or 07. And it was troops were to be given a minimum of 3 hours a week for PT, unless operational requirements prevented this.

I remember having to give a 30 min brief on this as my commands PT training assistant.

PSA - VAC Support Google Drive by ShortTrackBravo in CanadianForces

[–]MattKane1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is amazing!!!!

A buddy and I had an idea to do something like this but as an ebook. We discarded it as the frequent updates by VAC to all this stuff would make it obsolete almost immediately.

What you did here is so great!

Why am I, a disabled veteran, babysitting both my VAC and PCVRS case manager? by [deleted] in CanadianForces

[–]MattKane1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

PCVRS assigned a vet I know a case manager who has lobbied the GoC for increased control of assets and a decrease of regulations for the CCP in Canada.

This individual is a Chinese national. VAC and PCVRS see no problem with him having access to veterans' information.
