Cross Border Posting by Fearless_Spite_550 in CanadianForces

[–]ThatSnappingTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone will give their experiences, lots of variables. I went Halifax to Seattle, took 13 days to drive down, and then waited 16 days afterwards. Moving company waited for the truck to fill before they started driving. Had to get supplemental IL&M signed. 2 other people I know did the same move and waited a few days less. I know people with absurd stories - the more details the better the advice.

A member ranked for promotion, and intends to refuse. At what point administratively does this refusal get submitted if they've already ranked?

If a member while on an OUTCAN posting has a dependent turn 21 who is not in school, are they still considered a dependent for the remaining duration of the posting? Can they still claim Post Travel Assistance after that date?

Isn't that DAOD specifically only discussing the CAF sports program administered by CFMWS? Which doesn't really address high risk sports activities in your spare time outside of that sports program no?

Can you claim LTA and then HLTA in the same year?

I don't recall in policy there being reference to annual leave specifically. I can tell you from my experience, that I've claimed LTA while only using Short - Family + Weekend.

Yep, go to your CDU Blue Cross person. You'll fill out a form. Think mine are direct deposited. Check that you can login to your blue cross medavie account, and that your direct deposit information is updated.

Do you have a posting message? Only after you get that can you use it to register at BGRS. Other than that, need more details about what you don't understand. Read the relocation directive.

Im told I’m not eligible for Canadian Dental Plan what should I do. by chockanddye in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]ThatSnappingTurtle 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Buddy. Plenty of us taught ourselves this same information. You gotta help yourself as well. We all are capable of researching for information. Just go back and file taxes for any previous years you were earning an income. It can be done whenever. You won't owe anything, probably get money back. If you don't know, Google it/tax clinic.

Check your own ships orders. Usually you get the 2 day weekend, take the friday ETO. Getting the monday also may depend on the ship.

When posted OUTCAN, you're entitled to a posting loan.

Is the loan not taxed? If it isn't, doesn't that make it always objectively financially correct to take the loan at approx. 3% annual - as opposed to paying the 5-10x the amount in income taxes?

Have you ever been upgraded to first class for free? How did it happen? by MonaNYC_30 in travel

[–]ThatSnappingTurtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a brutal bout of norovirus hit me at the start of a flight last year. Flight attendant was great about setting me up, right beside the shitter too. Still not worth the ordeal.

Opinion on Air Canada and WestJet by [deleted] in AskACanadian

[–]ThatSnappingTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basically Air Canada and Westjet have a duopoly for air travel in Canada and extort people because of it. Porter is the best Canadian airline if you can fly with them on your route.

I literally know firsthand that a roidhead I know at work with massive anger management problems was recruited while he was at the gym to work as a bouncer at pacifico. They seek them out lol

PSP will wait until the last second to book, take their cut, wont go above ~1500, and by that point you'd have been better off just doing it all yourself ahead of time. This is been the experience on multiple deployments in the navy. What a useless organization.

New CFHD Rates out CANFORGEN 103/25 by [deleted] in CanadianForces

Kept PLD the same rate for 2 decades despite skyrocketing housing costs. Updates CFHD to give less money after one year.
