Media is now mining internet forums for blurbs to put into stories.
I remind everyone again to watch what they say and who they PM with.

Scott, I for one find myself contributing less and less to debates here for fear of the media boogyman coming by and taking my quotes and splashing it all over the news.
Is it at all possible for army.ca to (consider) setting something up where as all users need to register with the site before reading a single line where upon during registration they read a user agreement and it can state something along the lines that no comments on army.ca can be republished without the expressed consent of the author?
I tryed to find rules to see if it was against the rules to post a url here but I didn't find it and this is innocent and harmless IMO. Nothing wrong with being part of a different site as well as this one sop here it goes. I decided to open a site called messlife dot ca that focuses on "Life in the Mess". I am sure many of you have had a good time and have some story to tell so if you care to join, please have a look at my work in progress @ http://messlife.ca and join the forums there. If you have any feedback I would appreciate it. And if this is somehow against the rules to try to "recruit" some forum members by posting this here then I am truly sorry but I hope it is not but I need to do a bit of self promotion somehow.
The site is brand new and has no members yet so why not come and be the first! Registration is moderated atm because of spam issues so you could alert me by PM'ing me your username and I will approve you as soon as possible.
Did a search and found no clear answer. I am aware that when your ship goes into refit you lose SDA after 6 months. I have just been posted from one ship to another, my new ship is in refit since Oct. My former supervisor was of the opinion that when you join later on in a refit and SDA is still in force that your 6 months starts ticking from your COS. I am of the opinion that I have to abide by the gaining units cut off date. I have, however, not been able to get a clear answer as the opinions change from one RMS/Pay type to another. Does anyone here know a clearer answer to this situation?
I plan on going to the BOR to finalize my LTA claim sometime this week, but before going I was curious to know whether I am going to be able to claim the expense of bringing my cat with me back to my NOK? It was either pay $56 each way via plane or have him stay at the kennel while I am on leave. The kennel would have been a more expensive choice.
I am aware it's not the military's responsibility to pay to have my cat come home with me or stay at a kennel.
There is a chance that I might be getting deployed to Mediterranean with one of HMCS. I am aware of certain danger pay and tax benefits. Question is do when do these benefits kick in.
Do we start getting these benefits once we leave home port or when we are in the area?
Do we still get these benefits when we are doing foreign port visits in the area?
Do these benefits calculated literally day by day? As far as I know, danger pay is a monthly rate?
What is the official name of danger pay? Is it "SPECIAL OPERATIONS ALLOWANCE"? That is the closest thing I found.
This is going to my first, I am quite nervous and excited! Looking forward to it and hopefully I will get to go!
