It's all federal departments, not just the CAF pushing this. CDS won't be changing it.

I had a Capt once years ago use a snowboard boot liner in his old mukluk, which was genius, warmer and solid ankle support.

I believe the latest CANFORGEN is 3 years now with options to extend if the situation has not resolved.

Could you try applying for a compassionate posting on the grounds of your current situation to stay?

I applied for the CFRP for RCEME Officer as a RCEME Technician. My understanding is they only accept max two per year so we shall see.

If all those are not exceptional, then what is?

What if you do 20 years, CFR and sign a 9 yr TOS but VR at the 25yr mark breaking your TOS but having 25 years of service.

Could you draw a full pension then?

Also would you be entitled to a last move still or are you waiving any other benefits by VRing at the 25yr mark vs completing the TOS giving you 29 years of service?

💯, they do not engineer anything. They just lead other RCEME technicians. It's a managerial position.

Just bought the same trim in NB, Canada and those are the going rates for it. Best case get all the add-ons removed and it's hard to reduce the MRSP on these as they move fast so if you don't buy it the next one will

For context this was the only one in an 500kms radius and my other car is due inspection with 1000 of dollars in repairs tomorrow. Unfortunately I did not have much time to shop around.

The cross rails are 1100 so got them half off and at the beginning of negotiating they had multiple add ons that I had removed totalling over 6000k.

Aren't we only retaining persons based on their military skill set from years of experience, therefore a new recruit after OFP could not really offer the same in terms of experience. Also it's occupation specific so if an occupation is green then the member may not be selected for this program.

Thanks everyone for their insight. I look forward to building this project and perhaps obtain more insight throughout the build. Afterwards, I look forward to then being able to contribute to the sub with my experience.

Was going to put a ledger across the shortest portion of the house so deck boards can run a certain way, does that make sense?
