General Hillier was on CTV News Net in the pass hour, and he appeared to be saying that there would be no change to the danger pay policy; however, they would be looking at other ways to compensate wounded troops, under a different program. So it looks like something will be done for the wounded troops but they are still working on it.
Darrell, my son will be going to Gagetown from Valcartier, early next week for two weeks training. He is now training with 12RBC for the convoy escort role. They are to go to A-stan in August 2007.
To show you how strange things can be in the Military, the reservists from 35th Brigade (eastern Quebec) are having fees for room and board subtracted from their pay, while those from 34th Brigade (Western Quebec) are not. This is because Valcartier is considered to be the home base for 35th Brigade.
