LIke I said in another post, everyone in our HQ who had both Reg force and P res svc, sometimes combines with Supp res, all have errors in their estimate from Ottawa. Those that only have either just Reg force or just P res svc have accurate estimates. I wouldn't worry too much about it, just...

To answer the OP, here's an example of continuous svc with fictional dates : - enrol P res June 1st 1995 - release from P res July 1st 2005 Technically more than ten years of svc but because of a LOA/NES period, the actual time served is less than ten years so no RFRG was paid out. - transfer...

People at our HQ who has simple, non stop reserve svc with an enrolment date and no release date yet have data that is correct on the DCBA estimate, including rank. EVERYONE who did both reserve and reg force all have errors in their estimate. One MWO was listed as Mcpl and noboby had their...

For reservists : all the release clerks (including myself) are going to the Release seminar in a couple weeks. We'll know a lot more then on how this will work for the interim period for people releasing between March 1st 2012 and the time they send the letters at the end of the year. The...

I will also be released 3B in three years and I'm already looking into the PH and what I should do to make sure I get the kind of job I want post release. In my opinion, the success of the program has a lot to do with planning your release and really knowing what you'd like to do after. - what...

If there is a break of service, even for a single day, between your first release date and the day of your second enrolment, they will only count the second period of service. Simple as that, and there's nothing your unit can do about it. Sorry!

A lot of times, the number itself from your Pcat is not taken into consideration. They usually only look at the universality of svc and your trade specifics, so if you can crawl, dig a trench, carry sandbags, do your CF Expres test, do 30 min of drill, use a firearm, do your job around/close to...

CountDC : as a release clerk working in an HQ, hand in hand with the career section that does the AR (MEL) for reservists, I actually HAVE to hold the files if there is a possibility that the member would release 3(b) instead of 4(c). It's really not complicated : if the member has a permanent...

I also have to agree with the previous posters. A medical release is much better than a voluntary release in terms of advantages, the immediate pension being a big one. In the reserves, we actually will hold the files of members in your position (requesting vol release) when they could be...

If you had to do a second medical with a VAC doctor, I would think the procedure is the same, at least for the part between the time you have your doctor's appointment and when your medical report gets to PEI. Doctor gives the writen report to the clerk; The clerk has to type the report once...

I am a release clerk at an HQ level and we do see 2B releases (between 3-10 a year). Before a release item can be decided for your case, you would have to have a decision in your civil case and depending if you're guilty or not, the item may be different but either way, DMCA should decide.

Thanks for the additionnal information, it's greatly appreciated. It's the first time I'll see a VAC doctor but the letter they sent me says "reassessment of a medical condition" instead of just assessment. Does that make a difference? Should I mention it to the doc? I was supposed to go today...

I posted in December of last year about VAC. After 10 months, here's the timeline and update on my file : - November 20th 2009 : called VAC to start the process - November 27th 2009 : they sent me the forms for a guy with hemoroid problems in Valcartier instead of my forms for a knee problem...

I do have my CF98 for my knee injury as well as all the tests results and physio reports that were done last year so it should make things a lot easier I guess. I sprained my left knee on BMQ in 2001 during a weekend of training in the reserves. I went to the hospital; they told me that nothing...

I've been spending some time reading the posts on VAC. I was quite surprised at the number of people that had their claims denied at VAC. Being a reserve release clerk at an HQ level, I'm very familiar with the medical release process but dealing with VAC seems to be a horrible experience for...
