A 3 million dollar cut to NAVRES was the easiest decision that NDHQ and the government could have made. PSS Esquimalt alone saved about 1-2 million FYI (although many deadbeats were posted there!) The MCDVs on the West Coast were so poorly managed at MOG 4, that people quit serving on these...

Don't forget we bought subs (Victoria class) from the Brits and that was a major failure!!!

Hope you are in. NCIOp according to me is the Jack of all trades. You need comm skills, weather skills, bos'n skills, MARS skills, great thinking skills. One of the best NCM trades for a good critical thinker.

I remember the days when I had the same goals to join as a Reg Force MARS officer when I was 17. Unfortunately, my discriminatory instructors (French speaking, college hating, reserve haters) back in 1998 in St. Jean screwed that all up for me. NAVRES made the best move in history to ditch the...

I would love to see a very hard working Bos'n being granted a BWK ticket or OIC ticket for an Orca class vessel. A CPO2 diver already did it so a PO2 Bos'n should have no problem.

Just a friendly Reminder. If you are stuck in rank as a NCM (especially due to bad supervisors), the MARS trade always accepts you. You will be your supervisors superior very quickly :).

Just remember Compass to True = Cadet = Add East subtract west. But in my opinion. I want to see high failure rates in Officer training. The CF should only allow the best of the best to become officers. Any type of Officer training should be very intense since they are the leaders during Wartime.

I concur. Give that a try and if you like it and have great HR skills then become an officer in PRes. NAVRES always needs competent Log Officers!

For whatever reason, Transport Canada wont recognize the superior training that the military gives their members for any civilian BWK qualifications. My experience with these retards (I mean Transport Canada) has shown that these government rejects do not give a crap about the training that the...

Too bad my ex-career manager did not know that when he told me everything I did 4 years ago and my top student in my QL3 reserve course (in 2004) counts for nothing. In my opinion, a MPRR is about as reliable as a tabloid horoscope.

In my personal opinion, the merit boards spend too little time reviewing each person's file. Thus they may not get an accurate sense of experience of a person. It would be nice if there was some was to incorporate experience into the PER but since one PER only focuses on a single year it is not...

Here are some excellent documents on the CFPAS system. http://www.cfc.forces.gc.ca/papers/csc/csc30/mds/cann.pdf http://www.cfc.forces.gc.ca/papers/csc/csc31/exnh/hausberg.pdf :salute:

I was hoping to get some feedback on what people think about the current CFPAS system. My opinion is as follows: 1. CFPAS itself is very good overall and promotes fairness. When applied properly, it is a great system but: 2. A good portion of supervisors (usually the higher ranks) do not or...

A discriminator against NAVRES eh? A discriminator against NAVRES, got it!!!

All I hear was been there done that but no evidence that you had to endure a situation greater than mine. What I have done was unparalled in the NAVRES by an Nautical Mile and 98% of you never expereinced such intensity as a MS/MCpl. I feel happy that your supervisor was not a complete douchbag.

Any other MS or MCpl who was thrown into a PO1 / WO position with only four months in rank who had to supervise 33 people at one time and was responsible for 50 people want to respond to my thread. Oh wait there is not another MS/MCpl who had to do that. My initiative, intelligence and...

Tried the redress route and lost despite my documentation. How can I not get spun up if I see crappy "dummies" getting promotions cause they planned a class A party and are awarded as the god of a Naval Reserve Division. Or see full time member supervisors who are well hated by all but continue...

CDN Aviator, thanks for reading the document and taking time to comment. Obviously you pride yourself on your solid leadership skills. If I was rated at your wing, my evaluations were have reflected the effort, and my true performance and potential. I also thank everyone else who took the time...

As well I pass this up the chain of Command and mailed several copies to NAVRESHQ.
