My daughter has joined the reserves and keeps being told she has to see a specific person to set up her access to her email, etc…. Unfortunately, the person hasn’t been there so she’s been unable to do it. She was hoping to see her pay stub so she could figure out the amount she received but has to wait.

What is the pay period she would have been paid for, as a reservist, on the 15th?

Thanks!

I realize that is quite the headline. But I need the help and advice of fellow members. I am currently on a tasking at a base that shall remain nameless. I am part of a five man general duty tasking for a PLQ course. One of the members has been saying statements that are terribly racist, homophobic, involve animal cruelty, idolization of both the nazi and Italian fascist dictators, and their brutal regimes. Even going as far to act out the execution of those he deems to be subhuman. The praise of the death camps and so on. There's even more, but I'm sure you all get the jist. Not to mention, this member is already on C and P for actions of the same nature. Our tasking "IC" has let this activity carry on despite my many verbal cues of my discomfort at the statements being made. I am of indigenous descent, and I have a brother and many friends who are from the LGBTQ community. As well as another member of the tasking has brought up that he is of Polish descent as well. My calling out of this blatant racism and homophobia has afforded me mental anguish and isolation from two other members of the tasking, including the "IC" instead of the support I would have expected to receive. I fully admit I did not regulate my emotions fully and threatened to punch the racist nazi wannabe in the mouth. which, in hindsight, wasn't the best move. Albeit his statements are worthy of a shot in the mouth at the very least. Things have continued to escalate, and there is now a meeting on Monday with everyone from the master sailors to the senior NCMs. I need to know, given that I have been more than patient and have asked multiple times for this behavior to stop. How would members of this community approach the situation and this meeting? Is it time for administrative action, or do I try to speak to these guys on a junior ncm to junior ncm level? Thanks for taking the time to read this if you have, and I look forward to hearing back from the community.

There must be a way, I am told that even stuff sent already will probably be lost?

Brand new infantry major here. By the looks of it, I'll soon be posted to become OC at a training centre, rather than taking command of a line infantry company. Quite disappointed at first, but I've somewhat come to terms with it.

While I strive to continue to give my 100% in my next job, I'm wondering what the future really looks like for an infantry officer without inf coy command experience. To those with a similar path, I'd appreciate reading about what your career has been like after subunit command.

Still in my early 30s and full of fervour to serve, but not at any cost. I have a large family and obviously relocations are always quite stressful. I'd rather that the sacrifices I'm asking my family to make be worth it.

Thanks!

I see the canforgen, but I'm on leave and can't look at the dwan links. Is anyone able to apply? Or is it only specific air force trades, or do those folks get a separate application selection.

I'm in the NCR and starting last month it appears I'm getting double charged for mess dues.

I would like to get some information if anyone can provide me some direction. I have been fighting VAC/BPA for almost 5 years on a claim for an injury sustained at home but completely misdiagnosed because they didn't order correct imaging and my pain was ridiculed in a clinical note by a med tech. I was walking on a fractured foot. I cannot receive any supports, such as lawn care and snow removal without this claim being sorted. What can I do? They have notified me that they won't be having in person hearings for the foreseeable future and clearly they aren't working in the interest of mmembers. So advice?

22yr old S2, just finished my initial 3 years and a few months back before i got posted home, i signed 5 because i didn’t have an exit plan.

HRA by trade but currently not working in my trade as im at a recruiting centre and i hate it so much. i miss being an HRA and doing my HRA duties, and after more thinking i don’t think the CAF is right for me anymore. i joined fresh out of highschool, i have no post secondary education and this is my first paying job and job experience. i feel like im screwed.. i have no money for school and can’t afford to take out loans in the long run as im debt free and want to stay that way.

i’m useless to the CAF now. i no longer have a desire to sail, to uproot my life and move to a new province, be deployed. it doesn’t help that i am depressed and seeing a social worker, it’s been laid out to me that seeking help is considered weak. i’ve experienced racism, assault and betrayal from my peers and i have yet to see things get better with the CAF and my mental wellbeing.

I applaud to everyone else who is grabbing this place by the balls, enjoying their service, making a name for themselves, who are happy and healthy. i wish i was you. i wish i knew and understood what ive been doing wrong to second guess staying in.

i would like to keep doing HR, just not in uniform. Ive contacted the transition centre and im waiting on a response. if anyone could give me some insight about TC, what their release was like, why you decided to release, how is civilian life treating you, im curious and would like to know :)

Any one heard of the lead water plumbing reports from buildings in Petawawa? Daycare center was one of the worst. L57 maint building was a known problem and the Command has known for years and helped cover it up.

Currently I’m in the infantry and wear glasses, I’ve worn glasses my entire life and so far army career, and so far my current experiences wearing glasses in the field or anywhere while at work have been a bit iffy, weather it’s cold and they fog up, or we’re doing physical activity and they’re sliding down my nose, along with other things. I would like to get lasik in order to be a more effective troop, I don’t know anyone I can ask in person, and everything I’ve searched up doesn’t answer my question. Anyone here who’s gotten lasik while in the infantry? How’d it go? Who in CoC do I have to talk to, to get it authorized, will it bar me from certain paths like para, csor, or pathfinder? If anyone is willing to answer, my pm’s are open, I do have more things I’d like to ask, but rather not make the post too long.

Hey guys, so I’m getting a lot of mixed answers between buying a burner phone for Lavia.

It’ll be my first time going to Lavia and some people say to buy a burner phone other people say don’t waste money on it, if I can save 300 or $500 that would be great if I don’t actually have to buy a phone since I won’t be using it when I come back home.

Given threats of espionage and sabatoge is it worth it to spend 500$ on a burner phone and buy a SIM card there or is it safe enough to insert a Latvian SIM card into my personal cellphone (iPhone) and use the data plans there to browse social media and use google maps to go places?

Cheers 🍻

For those of you who took advantage of the defense and security certificate with Algonquin College, does anyone still happen to have the course outline for BUS2301 Computer Applications from around 2021? Asked the Algonquin College subreddit, but figured I'd ask here too since that certificate is for us. Much appreciated

Hey all,

I'm currently 23, and an Engineering student at the University of Waterloo. Would it be possible to join potentially as DEO into perhaps an Aerospace Engineer Officer role, then perhaps in the future go to graduate school and get a PhD? Would there be a benefit to this?
Perhaps the biggest benefit would be that aerospace is a fairly tough market in Canada, and this would be a way to get into that field.

Big thing to mention, it has always been a bit of a crackpot dream of mine to be an astronaut, reading Chris Hadfield and all. Of course, the likelihood of becoming an astronaut is lower than going to Harvard, and I'm not at Harvard. However, I've been wondering for sometime if I would still be able to enjoy that journey, and what could be at the end of that journey of trying to be an astronaut, even if that whole thing falls through. I wouldn't mind going to advanced education, it is the joining the military part I am more concerned about.

Would love to hear your thoughts about this, just a note, I am a naturalized Canadian citizen that previously held Chinese citizenship, I am wondering how this might impact everything too.

As the title says, I have been looking at online uniform stores in other commonwealth countries such as India, but I have not found anything so far.

I'm interested in getting some electronic Earpro that will fit under a helmet. What does anyone recommend?
