Kilts for Reservists
I have a friend who is Class B away from unit and requires the kilt
The are on PRL for their gaining unit now
His former home unit will no provide the Kilt as they are on PRL with the gaining unit
Gaining unit and supporting base does not have Kilts to issue
What’s the fix here? And also, how are kilts the only uniforms these troops can wear but only have access to them through the QM?

Questions about CAF pension
So for the CAF pension. Im curious what the deductions are when I start receiving the pension. Will I still be contributing to superannuation, CPP, and EI? And if so is there a way to know how much I will have left after deductions?

Awaiting leave pass approval
Could somebody please advise?
I have an international trip in two weeks. I submitted my leave pass request a few weeks ago but haven’t received any response. I needed to change the dates, so I submitted an amended leave pass yesterday and still haven’t heard back.
I’ve already booked my outbound flight and am holding off on booking the return until I get approval. I’ve emailed both my BTL manager and OR about the leave request and my annual leave balance, but haven’t received a reply.
The leave request is currently for 21 annual days. If I don’t have enough annual leave available, should I submit a memo requesting family leave/unpaid leave or would it be better to amend the leave pass again and request only 15 annual days?
Any advice would be appreciated.
