I'm in the same boat as you. Joined age 31 in 2003, currently on a CE that takes me to my 55th birthday. Never signed CRA 60. The key date is March 2007. If you joined before that you are grandfathered as long as you do not sign CRA 60, and are entitled to an unreduced pension, based on years...

To add to what Oldgateboatdriver is saying (if I may) - being physically fit is not so much about what abilities you need for your job when things are going as planned, but rather what abilities you need to have when things have taken a giant turn south. I argue that in ANY military occupation...

So I'll throw in 2 x "what ifs". Both are variations of the one-year limitation expiring. 1. What if the charge is laid before the one-year summary trial limitation expires and is for a minor offence, but the CO decides for whatever reason to refer it directly to court martial rather than hold...

Still wouldn't seem right in that case to go to court martial, either, when it should have been dealt with summarily.

Thanks.

@Oldgateboatdriver -- With appreciation to the other responses, you seem to be speaking with a fair degree of certainty. So not that I am questioning the accuracy of your response, but is there any sort of reference that supports this?

The NDA and QR&O are clear that a summary trial must commence within one year of the date on which the offence(s) allegedly occurred. What I can't find in either of those, or in the "Military Justice at Summary Trial" manual is what happens if the year expires and the trial has not started. Can...

So I was looking at my readiness summary in EMAA, which I do from time to time, and noticed I was 'Red' for valid TOS. So I looked up my MPRR in EMAA, and sure enough my TOS is gone, as in my MPRR shows no valid TOS. I signed TOS a few years ago that take me out to 2027, so it's not an issue of...

If the 1st or 15th is either Sat, Sun or Mon, it's always in my bank on the Saturday. I suspect if the OP looks at his/her bank activity for this past Saturday, the deposit will be there, unless there is some other issue.

There might be a few hold-outs that are refusing to lower their price, but by and large people are dropping their prices and often selling at a loss. First house I sold in Petawawa in 2009, I sold for $26,500 more than what I paid - after 2 years. Granted, I got a steal when I bought it...

Makes me angry as well. Either they're too stupid to understand how it works, and that our monthly contributions are reflective of it, or they do understand it and are yet another attempt to milk the 'we are national treasures' bandwagon. Maddening either way, but perhaps moreso the latter. And...

Would be very interested to get some data on the number of people posted across the country, with the typical mid-July COS date, who have not taken their HHT yet. If it is significant, there are a couple of reasons that have already been mentioned: 1. Ex MAPLE RESOLVE - now that it's pretty...

Not to mention the vast wasteland they've taken 3 years to create across from Moncion's, where the promised 'mall' is supposed to be built. There has literally been NOTHING done on that land since last year. My bet is that the local families that have the town of Petawawa by the balls (Moncions...

I think it's 'all of the above'. Clearly, though, there has been WAY too much construction here in the past 4-5 years. Builders got greedy after years of troops coming home with $20,000 or so in their pockets, doing tours every couple of years to Afg and looking to buy homes. Real estate agents...

Not to sound cruel, but if you're finding it expensive and frustrating then perhaps you need to consider whether or not continuing to be a service couple is what you want to do. Unit leadership often does everything they can to accommodate, but at the end of the day it's (a) mission first, and...

AB I actually agree with much of what you're saying. Also get the sell high/buy high situation where you're not really 'making' any money. As for costs of managing a running balance of 'profits and losses', Brookfield already tracks buying and selling prices of homes. No additional work...

One nuance, which is of importance for those who joined when they were 'older' (like myself), is that if you reach your compulsory retirement age (CRA) prior to serving 25 years, you can still draw an immediate pension based on 2% x number of years served x best 5 average. For example, in my...

Sidemount has it absolutely right. Exercise alone will get rid of that first round of 'easy to lose' weight. After that, you need to temporarily adjust your diet so that calories in are less than calories out. Once you're where you want to be it's regular exercise plus healthy diet. I can speak...

I think 5 times in 11 years is close enough, so I'll bite. I don't believe I ever used the term 'windfall', which would imply I might have suggested we haven't earned it - which we have. As for the posting allowance not being 'intended' for Mortgage Interest buy-down - from the current IRP...

So I'm "just wrong"....glad to see that there are only absolutes in the world, and that certain people's opinions are apparently undebatable. All I'm trying to do is take some of the emotion out of this and be somewhat logical. And I'm not an unaffected bystander - posted this summer for my 5th...
