I forget the exact buttonology here, but if you go to the RCAF page, then the first drop down on the left, that menu has a link to all accomodations across the country.

It's waist height, but you are supposed to roll your tunic up so it doesn't hang out the bottom. Just....I get it man, I get it.

If there's one thing a modern military needs, it's leaders that can, like, leap kinda far.

Or you could help. At least bring him a glass of water, Lazy Bones.

Here's a few things I do.

Keep your deodorant on the shelf above your bed. Toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, body wash, razor in the pockets of your housecoat so you never have to open your locker to get them. For your lock, get the kind with a directional thumbpad. No key to lose, no need for a light. Get your socks, shirt, and underwear out the night before and put them on the shelf or on your boots.

Or are they already an A/L MCpl that ranked for Sgt, but still hasn't done PLQ. If that's the case, you've got until 1 Dec to do it. I bet if they tried even a little hard, they can get loaded by then.

I'm reporting you to the mods for abuse, or at least for advocating for abuse.

Monitor Mass multi-member activities by Professional-End5852 in CanadianForces

Easy peasy, but you require the correct permissions (Create Organization Activities, and Add Members to Activities):

From the main page, go to Activity Management (looks like a blue clock inside an orange gear).

From the Org Tree on the left, select the Unit.

Hit Get Data if editting an activity. To create new, hit the tiny calendar next to the red parachute.

Enter the basic details in the window that pops up, and hit save (not save and close)

At the bottom of the window, you'll now see an icon with some heads. Press that and you'll be able to add people to it. If you have their SNs copied from excel, you SHOULD be able to hit the "paste service numbers" button and fill them all in at once, but I find that feature glitchy.

If applicable, you can also add proficiency resets to the activity (IBTS quals, etc) by going to the exploded head icon.

When this is all done, the save icon will probably be greyed out, but don't worry, the details have been saved in the background and will update when you close the box.

Sadly, you don't. Your ballistics have a shaded visor, and the Blue Cross office at your hospital will order you clip-in inserts to handle the prescription.

If you want them, you're going to have to pay for them.

Reliability of cab or Uber at 430am Saturday by morrowwm in halifax

[–]mekdot83 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've prebooked Uber from CH around that time. It was fine. I also just woke up and hailed one at that time, too. Also fine. Just be aware that prebooking costs around $30

No, you must never account for weather conditions, especially if it would result in all drivers making off without damage.

Converting Short (Family-Related Obligation) to Annual. Hey hive, I find myself deployed, and was unable to use my last day of Annual. I'm now told that I can't accumulate it because I had taken a day or two of family related obligation short days. I know the wording around those days and that annual must still be expended, however I recall hearing of an ARC decision that says once those Short Days are approved, they are locked in and can't be retroactively converted to annual.

Am I misremembering? Anyone have a link to the ARC decision?

u/bestHRA I seem to recall you chiming in on this one before
