So, the strike is over and PSAC gets 12.6% pay increase over the span of 2021 to 2025 (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/psac-treasury-board-strike-deal-number-crunching-wages-salaries-1.6828500). From 2021 to 2023 that represents an 8% salary increase (9.75% if including the wage...

Much obliged! I figured it didn't cou t as a VOT, just wanted to confirm. Pronouns all good.

Thankfully still an Lt at this point. CTd as a Cpl in 2016 to OCdt to attend University until '21. I'm thinking more along the lines of 2-5yrs from now on pulling the trigger, so I'd still likely be Capt then.

I have 13+ years in and would consider a VOT to a trade that is somewhat related to a career I wish to transition to after my 25 are done. I believe I recall that a member can have up to 2 VOTs per career. I am uncertain if this is accurate and, if so, if I still have one left in the bag or not...

I was told recently by a coworker to "always reject the first offer" with VAC and it will lead to bigger payouts for disability benefits found in your favour. Basically the idea is that, like any insurance company, they lowball you on the first offer and hope you accept it so that they don't...

Thanks for all the replies all. You've all guessed anyway, yes this is in relation to mandatory jabs. I don't want them YET because: No long-term observations on health yet No ability to sue the vax makers if you suffer adverse effects While approved by Health Canada, no FDA Approval on any...

We've all been told since BM(O)Q that we are allowed to disobey unethical/unlawful orders. Would someone be able to point me in the right direction for which Regs/Orders the guidelines for doing so fall under? QR&O? DAOD? Just wanting to better understand what qualifies as such, what actions I...

It's that "hurry up and wait" ethos hard at work.

I guess I got my answer... Quite literally just finished being in a Unit meeting to receive my official promotion to 2Lt from our CO. Weird how that works sometimes... I guess it's roughly 2 months to process then. hahaha

Anyone have an average guess to how long an official promotion is taking to process at the moment? My promotion will be effective back to 27 Apr and it's been almost 2 months at this point. My Unit AdminO has said they're fine with me wearing my new rank before the paperwork arrives, but it...

With the government moving towards legalization of recreational weed this upcoming summer, will this affect how the CAF views recreational weed? Will it be treated the same way as alcohol currently is (basically don't show up to work intoxicated)(don't make an ass of yourself at the mess)? Or do...

Done & done. Thank you for the info :)

Good day everyone. I am currently in ROTP with PFT in Portage in my future (unless I can manage to get my license before then). I live in Winnipeg and I am just wondering if it could be possible to commute to Southport/Portage daily for my PFT (Google Maps has me pegged at being 54 minutes...

I am currently ROTP in Year 1 at a Local University and need to go for BMOQ in the summer. I am a former CPL though and am only going to be sent for Phase 2 of BMOQ. Would I expect to be sent for 8/15 May? Or would I be sent for aprox 26Jun/3Jul (7 weeks after initial start date) until 14/21 Aug...

Hey all. Just wondering if anyone currently in (or recently graduated) from ROTP has any idea of the current deduction off of pay for R&Q during their stay at RMC? I have searched high and low and gotten some old figures here, but can't find any indication past posts from 2013...
