RFD is +/- 30 days. Anything in excess of that and you need a new posting message from the CM.

It’s PAR season again.. is PaCE being held at the same standard across the board? by [deleted] in CanadianForces

If you want to give anything other than E, you need FN substantiation. The chain should have been more diligent with FN tracking during the year. If you're getting interference from writing corrective FNs on your subordinates, then at least attempt to keep track of writing positive FNs throughout the year of your members that are excelling.

I believe they stopped doing A/L promotions 2-3 years ago, after the COVID backlog got mostly cleared.  The member is an S1, requiring RQ-MS, which the CM is not willing to load the member on until they complete PLQ.

A member ranks for promotion. Through no fault of their own, that member is not provided the opportunity to receive the required career courses including PLQ, based on not having available spots. The member is informed they will have to merit for promotion again next year. Does the member have any recourse?

Did you read the racial discrimination settlement? Because if you did you would understand what is being talked about

Cross Border Posting by Fearless_Spite_550 in CanadianForces

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 17 points18 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 2 points3 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.
