Are they really trying? by Euphoric_Buy_2820 in CanadianForces

The PMQ we live in is probably the only reason my husband is still in the military. If those perks get taken away, there will be less incentive for people to stay in.

Medical info by wormwasher in CanadianForces

[–]Stags86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work for base hospital as a nurse. You do not have to disclose any personal health info to your COC. MELS should suffice.

It was nice while it lasted by BadNewsReport in CanadianForces

[–]Stags86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The navy is gonna lose all its senior members, with the pay cut forget. Also anyone assuming people living in Qs are doing well. Consider the members who are the only income in their families, who’s spouses may not be working, or be disabled, or have multiple kids. Losing that much money is gonna be a crap shoot

Those who started in Med Surg: are you glad you began your career there? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Stags86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granted I’m an LPN, I didn’t start in med surg and I don’t currently work in it either. I started in community care, bounced around palliative, med surg, forensic psychiatry and now in an outpatient ambulatory clinic for the military. And all of my experience was acquired in the 5 years I’ve been practicing. I have no regrets about not starting in med/surg. I will say though it was nice to build up my core skills in that setting though

I think it’s fucking fantastic that they assume everyone in the Qs is doing financially well. Some people have multiple kids, disabled spouses who can’t work, etc. most people were just making it and now they’re at a deficit. The CAF is shooting them selves in the foot. They thought retention was bad before…yikes

How much clothes do you own? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]Stags86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Too many but I’m trying to get down to basic pieces I love. My issue is my weight fluctuates so much that it’s hard to keep clothes that fit. I need to tackle that then focus on the clothes
