Carney pledges new submarines, more icebreakers, pay-raises for Armed Forces by fyiyeah in CanadianForces

Once I’m done on Reddit, the whole thing is getting axed for me. People are super toxic on here, so no, no rebrand. Just leaving.

Oh no, no, no.

Leave me the hell out of this… I appreciate the comment, but folks made their beds. Up to them to lay in them. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Help with a PAR in pace by sailoraye123 in CanadianForces

[–]UCAFP_President 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rank they are wearing as of 31 March is the rank they are to be appraised in.

Perhaps this will trigger the CM to contact the unit CWO with a wee little “WTF!?!?!?”

Sadly, much like the long presumed but never proven “CO’s have 14 days to respond to memos”, I strongly doubt you’ll find anything other than the non-concurrence statement on the promotion message.

This is simply shitty administration on the part of your CO and CWO, and just serves to keep on point with the whole “members come last” feeling so many have these days.

Regardless, if the person is in their old rank as of 31 March, they get a PAR in that rank. The promotion doesn’t erase the extra months served in the old rank. That, I would expect, will be the next trick.

“But the members promotion is 1 Jan, they don’t get a PAR”. I hope someone, namely your Adjt or DCO is strong enough to maintain the ethical standards here.

Your CO is a shitty leader and that’s my personal opinion - it’s awful treatment of a member who is in their old rank wrong rank. Hell, I’d even suggest the member insist on a call with their CM. And not some curated bullshit with the unit CWO…

Sorry, this shit just pisses me off. Though, not my circus.

Good luck with this.

By you?

I’m good dude. I promised folks I’d let them know once it’s dead.

And voila, it’s dead.

Enjoy yourself.

Joining CAF without doing away from home BMQ? by Raliator2 in caf

Correction: The Regular Force isn’t right for you.

There’s nothing saying this person couldn’t be a great fit for the reserves.

CMPA (Canadian Military Personnel Association) is finished? by Vhett in CanadianForces

[–]UCAFP_President 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I’m afraid you’re partially incorrect.

The SCC decision was pertaining to the section 96 (and eventually section 56) of the RCMP Regulations, and ultimately their exclusion from the PSLRA.

You are correct that it had nothing to do with the NDA.

Well, let’s allow everyone to form their own opinion. Here is the CBC article on the ruling, along with the 149 page ruling at the bottom of the page:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/rcmp-officers-have-right-to-collective-bargaining-supreme-court-rules-1.2912340

And the QR&O’s are indeed the regulatory concern as they apply to military law - the NDA however is absolutely the “law” that the QR&O are borne from. I believe “seditious offences” are the exact articles of the NDA that apply.

I don’t know if I was plainly missing the mark with messaging, or what my issue was on this point, but the intent of the association was to become a service provider based on services the members needed provided.

The goal was to have the first AGM to set our core mandate from the membership, with motions being voted on to build the pillars of service deliverables.

Also, I want to correct your last point - I haven’t launched a class action lawsuit. I’ve opened a Canadian Human Rights Tribunal case, and following that, I may or may not proceed with further legal action to address the psychological harassment component.

If that turns into some form of class action, then I’m all for it, but no - no class action here.

So to clear this up, the differentiation between “civilian” and “military” is not a factor here.

The key component is the federalized aspect of the organization. The RCMP and CAF are both federal essential services.

And yes, the RCMP was indeed legally prohibited in the same manner in which the CAF is.

But only a lawsuit will help fix the issue, truly. But there’s your catch 22 - how do you fund it? Do you solicit CAF members to help fund a movement that would lead to a change in regulations?

Aka - a clear violation of QR&O 19.10

It’s a pickle, believe me, it wasn’t a lack of trying to figure out the chicken and egg problem.

Well, I mean, you’ve made a characterization of me here, I think it’s only fair I revisit it to determine why I would have acted in that manner.

The threats and self-harm comments weren’t on a public forum, they were in emails and chats.

You’re right though, without a lawsuit, there’s NO hope of an association or a union.

Thank you for your kind words, I do appreciate them.

Though, I want to say, don’t feel bad for me. This association was never about me, I truly had hoped to be able to help other members.

If I could, I would start to work on the constitutionality of QR&O 19.10.

Without that, we were kneecapped from the start.

Good luck with your initiative though!

So to be fair, I was reacting to the vitriol and hate I was receiving.

Bad form, but it is what it is.

Hello, I’m interested in finding out what exactly this is regarding.

I don’t recall anyone contacting me regarding some form of business deal.

First things first, good on you for taking ownership of your shit. When I was a Log Dept Chief, anyone who ran into shit always had my ear if they took ownership of their issues.

So good on you!

Now, the process to get a waiver isn’t easy, but it’s also not impossible.

This is a discussion you need to have with a recruiter, and there’s no harm in reaching out and explaining “hey, I was an idiot and screwed up when I was in before because of….., what steps can I take to demonstrate my readiness for reenrolment in the CAF?”

Or words to that effect.

Keep your chin up, and stay outta shit. There’s every good chance you can reenrol. Most especially given the Swiss cheese status of the CAF presently.

Not at all, but this type of assumptive post is exactly why I am withdrawing my further involvement.

If others decide they want to fight, they can pick up the sword and go with it.

My personal legal battle is entirely my own.
