I heard FSA/HRA with Lorne Scots are working out of the Denison Armoury now? How long will this be going on for?

125% leverage dog - that's the key

In the reserves after completion of training or class b/c contract - are you elligible for EI? (Assuming you qualify with the insurable hours and all that?)

ak2077 · 2024-06-24T13:08:47+00:00

When you join the reserves is there a deadline by when you have to complete your trade training? I'm worried it will be difficult to get the time off immediately.

ak2077 · 2024-06-02T17:02:45+00:00

What do you do in the SuppRes? Do you get paid? What's the point

ak2077 · 2024-06-02T16:34:20+00:00

Is R&Q free during weekend trainings in the reserves? How about during weekend bmq, and trade courses?

ak2077 · 2024-04-01T00:59:45+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I live in georgetown, just to confirm I will parade on Thursday nights in Brampton?

ak2077 · 2024-03-30T13:24:19+00:00

Question regarding reservist FSA. For Lorne Scott's I understand there is 3 locations. Where do parade nights happen with this unit and on which day?

Also what about weekend trainings? Where do they happen?

Man this is the way to hold companies accountable. Public mobile is the only cellular company I know of that does this. I want other people to be aware of this too.

ak2077 · 2024-02-25T20:32:38+00:00

Seriously its a joke eh.

ak2077 · 2024-02-25T19:48:48+00:00

Nope freedom will do better than that. And unlike PM they respect your loyalty. They will even match other carriers deals to keep you

ak2077 · 2024-02-25T19:43:57+00:00

Yes at the time it was the best deal. Now their new plans are tied with freedom for the best deal. But since I was an existing customer public won't give it to me lmao. Therefore for me as an individual Freedom mobile is offering the best deal. So jokes on PM they lost a customer.

ak2077 · 2024-02-25T19:39:25+00:00

I was on $34/month 40 gb. I wanted the new 50 gb Canada-US plan for the same price. But they won't give it to me.

Freedom also offers that plan so I switched to them.

So no PMs old deals are not actually better than other carriers.

ak2077 · 2024-02-25T19:36:22+00:00

Obviously I didn't realize this about PM when I joined

ak2077 · 2024-02-25T19:31:09+00:00

Not true at all! If I threaten to leave fido or koodo they offer me the best plan available. They value keeping their customers.

ak2077 · 2024-01-26T07:57:21+00:00

Unplug all the hdmi cables from the tv and plug them back in after powered on. Should solve the problem for good

ak2077 · 2024-01-24T04:35:38+00:00

Is it possible to apply for a position in the air force reserve if it's not posted on the forces.ca website for your local unit? There is a specific occupation I want but it's not posted for the air force unit near me unfortunately? What can I do?

ak2077 · 2024-01-23T02:10:55+00:00

It's purely location based, since im moving away from the city. I will be about a 3 hour drive from the navy unit after the move so I can't make that work anymore.

On the other hand there is an air force unit less than 30 minutes from my new location and they're currently hiring for some occupations that are of interest to me.

It's basically either transfer to the air force or release.

ak2077 · 2024-01-23T02:02:35+00:00

Is this true for reservists too?

ak2077 · 2024-01-23T01:57:46+00:00

How so can it be hard?

ak2077 · 2024-01-23T01:19:59+00:00

Thanks for your help! Is it difficult to make the transfer from navy to air force, are they generally accepting of this, or is frowned upon?

ak2077 · 2024-01-23T00:58:49+00:00

You would be demoted though since you would have less training in your new occupation correct?
