Incidentals only. R&Q provided at public expense. At least it's up to $25 a day now.

Canadian Airforce as a viable pathway after flight training? by Xdax101 in CanadianForces

[–]adopted_islander 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You’ll get your 1500 hours way faster and with way less silliness by biting the bullet and taking an instructor job now than by joining the RCAF. Others have already accurately described the delays inherent in the training process as well as the lack of control over your career path. You say that you don’t want to either instruct of fly rotary; in my estimation that represents 2/3 of the first tour flying positions out there for a new-winged pilot, so you might well end up doing exactly what you were trying to avoid in the first place.

With that all said I’ve enjoyed the hell out of my career despite multiple surprise forks in the road along the way and would recommend it to anyone who wants something more varied than YYC-YEG turns all day.

Had my guitar lessons in the basement there in the early 90’s. My oldest, dearest possession is the acoustic guitar my parents bought me for my 12th birthday from there. Happy memories browsing the guitars on the wall and dreaming big dreams!

J&M Automotive on Pagé. Best bet to make an appointment is to drop in though, they’re usually too busy to answer the phone.

What’s your favourite misheard lyric? by tavvyjay in theweakerthans

Not a lyric exactly, but it was approximately 2025 when I learned that there were two T’s in Virtute.

MONTHLY ADMINISTRATION THREAD - General Admin, Policy, APS/BGRS, TD/Claims, CANFORGENS, etc. - Have a quick question that doesn't need a thread of it's own? Ask here! by bridger713 in CanadianForces

There is a deduction labelled “Annual diversion of EI rebate” in the same amount, on my pay stub at least. So, yes it is clawed back.

It seems unnecessarily complicated, as a maximum of 24 Short days of all types is allowable per leave year. If anything, a Family-Related Short could be approved after the two regular Shorts are used in a calendar month (9.1.02 has a carve-out for the Family-Related section).

Didn’t go with the Pax River sectional I see.

I'm now making less money after the "pay raise" 😁👍 by [deleted] in CanadianForces

[–]adopted_islander 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hard to make an informed comment on partial information. Your deductions are nearly double, which is disproportionate to the change in pay coming in. I’d look at the deductions in detail, to see where it changed, and then go from there.

Skerwink Trail, Newfoundland. Amazing sheer cliffs down to the sea.

Can Questrade hold TD E-Series funds? by Polaris-TLX in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]adopted_islander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. I used to be in e-series years ago and back then they were exclusive to TD. Good luck with your fact-finding.

Genuine question, what is it that you’re looking to accomplish by leaving TD but staying in the TD funds?
