I’m not sure knowing the reason even matters. It’s not like old social media posts coming back to haunt people in the public sphere is a new thing. Neither is hiring managers wanting candidates to provide SM profile info so it can be reviewed as part of the hiring process - to ensure a “good...

I curated my own FB page several times as I grew older, matured, assumed leadership positions of greater responsibility and saw the world changing around me. I suppose I would argue that the fact that some of these posts have remained visible for years means that the members see nothing wrong...

l guess it would look like the CAF in a lot of way? An organization that everyone who ever served in willingly and freely joined, that some have devoted their entire adult lives serving, and that some still think is a good thing, at least some of the time?

I suspect the day-to-day culture, in terms of a baseline starting point is probably relevant. The US base I am currently stationed at, and the ones I have been previously stationed at, all had and have well established cultures of preparation and a reasonably informed workforce. I pass...

Which was, word for word, the PM’s statement on CNN last night. This is probably the right message.

Nah. She has the long view. She may not be intelligent but she is smart. I spent 5 years in CFD - 3 of them working in the Future Force Directorate. I Didn’t GAF about anything that was happening in Horizon 1 or even H2 for that matter. Anything that CJOC was doing today, and tomorrow...

Of course not. He was verbally accosted like…24 hrs before? If it had been me, I would have lost my temper and likely committed an act of physical violence, most likely in the form of a throat punch. That would have, of course, landed me in jail awaiting charges of assault. My future...

Canada's plan to donate refurbished armour to Ukraine is still spinning its wheels More than 9 months after the vehicles were transferred, Ottawa and an Ontario firm are still negotiating https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/armatec-canadian-forces-dnd-ukraine-1.7323330

Supporting allies and partners is key. There doesn’t have to be anything “special” about the platform itself as the poster above you states - that’s short-sighted and a very tactical-level perspective. Supporting allies is an Operational-level obligation we hav, to achieve global Strat-level...

Precisely! Some real fucking low-information people out there just looking to rage about anything

I think of this everyyime i see shrubbery bursting out if some RCN N3B shirt: Goony Goo Goo, Gus!

But in all seriousness, getting it on the agenda of the dress committee is the first step in having a proper discussion about it and, imo, getting it changed
