Thanks for clarifying.  I should've been more clear - when I said "generally," I meant to imply "not all."  I can see where I led you to a faulty inference. Interestingly, the only case I was personally involved in did in fact involve spouses of MPs at an embassy.

Point of interest - if the situation arises OUTCAN, then the rules regarding how the Chain of Command interacts with spouses (administratively and in matters of discipline) are drastically different. Dependants are generally subject to the CSD when accompanying a member OUTCAN.

The Doom clock is ticking on the use of one's signature as a proof of identity anywhere, pay sheets or otherwise. You know, since they no longer teach cursive handwriting in schools.  At least in Ontario.  /tangent off

From QR&O 16.27 - Parental Leave (2) (Definition) In this article, "parental leave" means a period of leave without pay and allowances granted to an officer or non-commissioned member for parental or paternity purposes relating to one or more new-born or adopted children or children to be...

Yup, I'm with you.  I don't see a *need* for supervised PT any more than I see a *need* for supervised eating.  (That last one sounds so ridiculous when you actually say it.) Unless you demonstrate that you are defficient in one of these areas.  In which case, one of the standard...

Why not?  We enforce such things as what you can wear, where you and your family will live, some standard of physical prowess, as well as such intangibles as ethics, attitude, character, etc...  Failure to meet or accept the standard on any of these is a potential ticket out the door. So why...

Glad to hear you had a good go with your first FORCE test.  I have a question. I've been working on sorting out how this test will be administered OUTCAN (especially the "ones and twos" type locations.)  In doing so, I've been spending a lot of time working with the management team at DFit...

Buffalot, As others have detailed, there is really nothing to be done about the posting, absent compassionate grounds or career "re-evaluation" by the member. Are your Grandchild's parents on good terms?  It is of course less than ideal, but if they are, shared custody can be managed one way...

Nope and nope.  There are definitely kids listed on my MPRR whom I have assumed support for but have not adopted (the whole 'in loco parentis' thing).  My wife's children.  The QR&O has specific clarification that for members who are in both a common-law partnership and a legal marriage, the...

QR&O 1.075 says: "common-law partner", in relation to an officer or non-commissioned member, means a person who has been cohabiting with the member in a conjugal relationship   (a) for a period of at least one year; or         (b) for a period of less than one year, if the member and the...

Recommend a review of QR&O 1.075 (Common-Law Partner and Comon-Law Partnerships), and more importantly CMP 15/06 (Common-Law Partnerships.)  I suggest you look carefully at para 4.4 of the latter.  Depending on your situation, how you have represented yourselves in the comunity vis-a-vis your...

My answer to this question from the OP:  In my opinion, one of the greatest keys to financial success in life is being able to answer "no" when answering this question.  The biggest change in my life when I made the "jump":  My monthly savings increased from about two hundred dollars to about...

All sorts of levels of fitness was my take, from the very fit to the not quite very fit.

Oh, I agree, and as indicated, am confident that any old fellow could be instructed in how to read the numbers for heart rate and BP.  But, I like to think that there is a reason that we are not doing that now, and further infer that whatever that reason is, it will persist going forward.  The...

There was nothing on the application form that asked about a pulse... To tie this in with the topic at hand (yes, I work miracles) and provide food for thought, someone has to take your pulse/blood pressure before the FORCE test... in some (army) units, in the absence of PSP staff, does this...

From what I have seen with my own eyes, a wide variety of very senior members (who are age appropriate for such lofty ranks) of both sexes and all sorts of levels of fitness were able to easily complete all components of this test, with very few of them breaking a sweat.  The only high pressure...

Sat in on a briefing by the PSP senior fitness manager this morning, all about the new test.  It seems that the RCN / RCAF have elected to have PSP continue to administer the test, while the Army is going to test themselves (and those working for them, IE purple trades working in an army unit.)...

The notwithstanding clause only applies to section 2 and sections 7-15.  Not section 23. 33. (1) Parliament or the legislature of a province may expressly declare in an Act of Parliament or of the legislature, as the case may be, that the Act or a provision thereof shall operate notwithstanding...

Granting of up to 2 days sick leave is command decision, under the authority of the CO, which said CO may or may not choose to delegate to a level of their choosing.  The CO should define and promulgate this choice and the mechanism by which sick leave is to be granted within their unit.  It is...

I've heard this conversation almost daily for the last few weeks as well: "No Sir, you are only alotted 1 QDJM at that rank level.  Yes Sir, I appreciate that you have multiple individuals who you believe are worthy of recognition.  Sir, are you aware that there are other honours and awards for...
