So a couple of years ago, not long before the pandemic began, I submitted a request for an NDI 75 and was informed when I applied that the processing time might be long. The pandemic occurred, everyone wound up working from home and the world was turned on its ear so the card never did arrive. No harm, no foul as far as I am concerned because of how chaotic things became at that point. Thanks to Jobbo, I got in touch with the folks that process the requests and within about 36 hours I got an email confirming that my new card had been printed and would be off in the next mail run. I don't think I've ever had faster service from any other government ID request.

On that note, if you're gonna steal valor, do it with two chevrons, a logistics cap badge, and a long service medal. Nobody would ever second guess it. Or first guess it.

So I don’t really have anyone to share this with right now, but I just got the assessor’s decision from the DND/CAF Sexual Misconduct Class Action and it’s SO loving GOOD to have it in writing and acknowledged that yes, poo poo was hosed up. Didn’t think it would hit me this hard.

I can easily see how having your experiences validated would be extremely meaningful-- it's a statement that someone else, especially someone in a position of power, recognizes that you've been through something that's wrong. I hope this helps you find peace and healing.

Does anyone here know if foreign citizens can work as enlistment character references? This process has taken so long that now there's a hole in the references I'm trying to fill in- but most of what I've done since then has been vintage computer and freelance writing with mostly Americans.

So far I have an artist I collaborated with to write a narrative for their art, a published author who mentored me (UK, US citizens) and two Canadian citizens who I refurbished some stuff for.

In addition to the professors I had listed at the start.

I gotta be honest I'm terrified of the idea of stumbling at the finish line here.

The perfect ruck is the 64 pattern and it's only gone downhill since.

They come in handy when neighbouring buildings explode. Recommend everyone get MS Teams on their phone.

Speaking of, apparently you're gonna need a D365 account to use MS Office on DWAN computers, so they should probably sort that out anyway.
