Gunner98,
Thanks. That is interesting. When we were at University, the SEM from Borden told us specifically (more for the ROTPs who were getting paid very little) that they were welcome to take on a civilian job on their own time, but that it could not have anything to do with the training...
I worked as a manager at Blockbuster for 4 years while I was an NCM. The company was great in that I went on two tours overseas and they held on to my position for me while I was gone (My manager called Head Office, and they said "She's in the military? Give her all the time off she needs"). ...
Yeah, I thought it was a little strange to just throw it in there like that. Especially noting the specific amount as if they knew exactly what incentive and spec pay if any he receives.
Gotta love the media!
I was driving through this small town about an hour south of Petawawa on my way to Tennessee over the holidays. As I drove through the sleepy town, I noticed that almost every front lawn was boasting a large "We Support Our Troops" sign. The further I drove through the town and the more I saw...
Penny,
I would like to echo the info on here about going Log O.
It sounds to me, with your attributes, it would be a wise choice. It is a job that is extremely fulfilling (nothing happens in the army without Logisitics), has ample opportunities for deployment. There are also many different...
First Question:
Are you all at the same University?
Secondly:
If you find the appropriate references, submit a memo. Now's a better time than ever to start practicing your military writing skills. Memos can be traced and have to be actioned. If you feel you are owed more money, then submit...
Thanks for the help! 241, PM sent
I found a real media version also, but I hate to use rm also.
I was on Roto 6 and had just come home in September. When they aired the special I was flooded with memories of my tour.
And maybe I shed a tear ;)
"We're here for a good time" video.
Is it available online to view? I'm looking for something online, for Windows Media Player or Quicktime.
If anyone has a link it would be greatly appreciated!

I was promoted as of May 1st, and I received the difference in pay in terms of a posting allowance, so why not get the difference in the pay raise?
I will see what I can find out from Ottawa.
Cheers

Edit:
In case anyone is wondering, this is where the "no" answer comes from through IRPP...
That's a good question. I assumed so, but RLRS told me no because it's backdated pay and it says in the benefits guide that backdated pay doesn't apply. But we KNEW we were getting a raise April 1st (just not how much), so I think it should apply.
I guess we'll have to write to DCBA to find...
Off-Topic, but about the miniatures:
I was quoted a price for each medal which ranged from $14 to $22, then was told $8 each to mount.
Grand total for 4 miniature medals: $107
I'll have to check your link

I just watched this video, and I agree that it would make a great recruiting ad (maybe chopped down a bit). It not only depicted the reality of the need to fight, but also portrayed images implying that what we are doing is important and that we are making a difference.
Thanks for posting this...
