Can someone help me out with the details of how CFHD works. So, you look up the table for pay levels, and let's say I make $7200/month, so I'm at Pay Level 6 and live in Halifax. Accordinly, my CFCD amount is $350. However, the CANFORGEN says that the CFHD will be calculated annually based on...

I know enough firefighters to know that many see of it EXACTLY that way.

Same. I'm my company, you can bank as much sick time as you want, but when you retire, it's just gone, and there's no way, other than actual illness, I'm going to be able to use all that sick time by just pretending to be sick. I'm going to what others have suggested, bank as much as I can as...

We actually went a few months without ROs on my last ship and honestly people just totally forgot about them. Everyone was like "oh shit! right!" when we brought it up. I personally don't see the utility in them. There's nothing in there that is actually "orders" as everything is covered by...

You guys have ROs?

Only one ship is at an actual notice to move (the ready duty ship, and it's usually at 8hrs notice to move). But, every other shop in dockyard is expected to be able to stand up a dedicated force protection component within 4hrs of an increase in FP level, and that necessitates that all of their...

I set up a dropshipping business through Amazon, and have products on my storefront that are made in China. In essence, I've entered into contracts with several Chinese companies to sell random crap like essential oils and makeup organizers. Actually that's all just a cover; all those payments...

Navy recruiting done right:

Yes and this goes across postings, not just specific tasks. At one posting you work 10 hr days getting an HR deployer ready, at the next posting,m you work 6 hrs days with only 3 hrs of actual work... maybe... I'm looking at you, Traning Development world.

Lots of places. You're salaried employees, not wage employees. The expectation is to get jobs DONE, not put is x number of hours. You wouldn't last long in the navy then. All sailors, when posted to ship, are expected to be able be on ship within 4hrs unless they are on out of area leave. You...

The troops are required to submit a leave plan, or if you unit doesn't require a leave plan, to submit a sufficient number of leave requests in order to use up their leave by years end. It is the responsibility of the leadership to ensure this happens, and that appropriate...

Managing your people is literally the job of Officers and NCOs! You just want to leave it up to the troops and hope for the best? Wave your hands "oh well" and then argue with command that they should lose their leave for your shitting HR practices? If we did an audit and I found out a bunch of...

What wine pairs best with indictment?

They do, but they don't. The Americans are never going to completely give us the finger and do what they want in "our waters", but by refusing to officially acknowledge our position, they are able to maintain their position elsewhere in the world.

I know this is satire but now you have my wondering why I never thought of this before. Can you imagine doing round a ad showing up in the MCR carrying a flat folding lawn chair with OOW written along the back? Just tucked under your arm like nbd. You show up to ops and just smack it down open...

Dave, where's the OOW's chair?

Have you read about the bill and what it aims to do? It basically creates a framework by which large "News Intermediaries" (META, Google, etc) will be forced to negotiate contracts with news creators (news papers, broadcasters, etc) where fair compensation for their news will be determines...

They don't need to create big scale economic opportunity, but what they can do (since we are talking about people living pay-check to pay-check) is create programs that either prevent people from falling off a cliff, or programs that at least soften the fall at the bottom. This is the...

That's not at all what I was talking about. Government involvement in creating economic opportunities has nothing to so with people not wanting to take your hypothetical jobs.

By ultra-conservative I was speaking in the economic, fiscal, monetary policy and general involvement of the government aspect. Besides, those of whom I'm referring are not the one living with the rest of the proles.
