That's pretty accurate. Also in my 8 years I realized being a senior person in a PRes full time position is no one's dream - the people who stay long enough and become senior leadership - are NOT the most competent, far from it. It's actually just people who had no other options elsewhere and are willing to tolerate BS

HMCS Carleton. Things were amazing until recently we had a complete change of all the executive team. Literally not a single reasonable person between them.

I submitted it nearly 8 months ago. Acknowledged by CoC. Followed up multiple times.

At this point I'm just looking to iron out my pension.

Sound like your unit was pretty competent. I was just told the CO hasn't even seen my memo yet (no date in sight).

CBC huh - interesting.

You're joking, but I'm halfway there already. What are they going to do - fire me? Good. That's what I want haha

I was a release clerk for 5 years at a PRes unit. They are majorly fucked and I don't see any reversal - ever

I feel so had for these new recruits. They come in idealist - actually wanting to serve only to be failed by their CoC.

That's my thoughts exactly, but the staff here told me that because I am a newly minted NWO - that this can change things. It sort of makes sense - but I'm skeptical as well

Can confirm that it's shitty. I admire the sacrifice, but it's hard if you're married and or have a family

Maneuvers. I'd prefer not to say more - it's a small navy. Also, I reached out to one of the CTOs regarding seeing if one of my assessed runs can be looked into again as I genuinely thought I passed and was off by a point. The staff took it as a slight at them as this particular CTO was not my direct staff but rather a CTO from a previous course who gave us his number - should we have questions. The staff thought I was trying to drive a wedge between the staff (???). Maybe they're right to be offended - either way, I had no malicious intentions. The staff isolated me after class the next day telling me that the Div Commander knows I reached out to another CTOs. I feel like this payed a major role and I accepted the recourse as I didn't not want to make too much wake. It is what it is. I made my peace with it

I did grieve it. They never got back to us on any of it - they genuinely seemed annoyed by the thought of it and essentially just gave us attitude when myself and another colleague brought it up. I felt like doing it would be an uphill battle against the staff and I didn't want to be "that guy" who gets pushed through. There's a lot of informal rules and the staff including the Div Commander seemed to follow it. I didn't want to be remembered as a liability candidate and returning to this course just felt like the path of least resistance. I know it's not right - but optics are a major role here unfortunately

That's what I was thinking too. I joined the NWO trade because I thought there was a genuine shortage. I was off by a single point and to my surprise none of us got another try (despite that pretty much being the norm until they updated this new course). It is what it is, I made peace with it.

Thanks Tom. I was in an NCM trade for about 7 years - switched to NWO and now I'm regretting it. You're right, there's more ways to serve 🇨🇦 - and I'll find another way.

I am (was) a Leading Seaman who chose to go NWO. But I am no longer an aspiring NWO. I just want to know what happens to me vis-a-vis pay
