Scott: Please see my PM

I never said it was useful. Question asked was can you know the minimum score and yes you can.  I always hesitate to post on this forum because the minute you do your attacked.

Just call the recruiting centre and they will tell you the minimum officer score. I called today and was told as soon as I asked the question. I won't post it here for fear of being flamed  :) I just tried a quick google on the internet. Try that and you will be linked to military research...

Log O. My apologies. My comment was in response to Capt Loadie's comment made above. Typo on my part.

Log O: Thanks for your comments, but I disagree with your view  that only those who sold and were unaware that they would be not be reimbursed their losses are the only ones that should receive compensation. As someone whose husband has been on IR for the past year because we could not sell our...

Some excerpts from a recent grievance posted: "With his submission, the grievor included evidence that the real estate market in his community of over 750 homes had declined by approximately 30 percent and that there were specific reasons for the decline. In particular, the grievor's community...

Heavy Reader: You should add an option for those whom have their homes listed, have not yet sold, but plan to apply for HEA. I know of at least 3 families presently in that situation.

People are not receiving the outcomes they are hoping from the grievance board, but keep up the fight and don't quit. Once all military channels are exhausted, there are other ways to have your voices heard. Don't give up!

Heavy Reader, Where is the poll? Could you provide a link?

well it looks like grievances are making their way and the grievance board is recomending a review of the policy: Case #: 2010-015 Case Summary Date: 6/30/2010 The grievor was posted after only one year of what he had expected to be a three-year posting. During that one year, the local...

Hi I am interested in joining as a social worker myself and my husband is Reg F army officer. I was talking to a Major who is a social worker and I was basically told that they will do their best to keep couples together, but it's not a guarantee. She also said it's important to decide whose...

I have my BSW and was applying for the subsidized MSW program this year, but I missed the board because of the recruiting center and confusion on whether or not the subsidized MSW program even existed. Sounds like you had better luck than I did :) I have some prior military experience as a NCM...

In Heavy Readers post, he indicated he proved the "community" not Edmonton he bought in is depressed by 20% since he purchased his residence. The policy does not read: Situation void if home bought when prices were inflated. By the time I sell my home, I will lose roughly the same amount and I...

Just to put a spin on things here. Say my husband did go on IR to Edmonton for 3 years. They are paying to put members up in private accommodations with rent as high as 1800/mth plus Separation expense and low rate dinner allowance. Soldiers were put out of the shacks because accommodations were...

My family is facing a similar situation. We were posted to Edmonton in 2007 at the height of the market. We didn’t wish to buy a home, but there was a 2 year wait list for PMQ’s ( when I asked why there was no vacancy, one CFHA rep said many military began moving into the Q's in the spring...
