    SecDef: Bring back the "shark attack" at boot camp

    Agreed, you could just destroy a recruit' bunk space. Much more valuable training to be had there. /S

    CAF Procurement

    Even DICE's original order for 3000 rucks isn't delivering until summer 26. They haven't even exercised their option for an additional 5000.

    I am not at the school but I do know they have a pool of CTS rucks. Bring yours but if not jumpable I would stress it too much. They see this scenario on a regular basis

    "Army investigating members allegedly involved in 'abhorrent' Facebook group"

    Yeah I've seen it a few times. DMCA usually give some good advice on on those. And if we're being honest, the conduct almost always is the most important. We put up with s***** performers year and year out. For some reason we think we're social workers and need to fix everyone. In some...

    "Army investigating members allegedly involved in 'abhorrent' Facebook group"

    Not quite accurate. performance and conduct are considered separately and remedial measures. I can see how you could potentially consider it a performance deficiency of someone having poor conduct, but that's not how it's applied Well I think it's getting better. It's not just that it's not...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    Logistic Vehicle Modernization Project - Replacing everything from LUVW to SHLVW

    Yup useless AF and dodgy. Fun as all get out tho. The walking bursts were slightly less useless and dangerous but still of questionable value. Did give people an appreciation of how little use a longer burst from an unsupported/unstable firing posn was (see also firing from moving iltis).

    Making an Effective Case for Co-op During a Subsidized Education Degree

    Looks like you have a good case and from the SEM guide your MOSID is one of the few that can do co-ops (although they prefer no co-ops) so I think you are fine submitting with your rationale listed. The SEM crew is pretty flexible (most of the time) and it may probably more depend on if your...

    CAF Procurement

    I can link you in with their team. Drop me a contact email via PM. I was just talking to their boss this afternoon and their big hope is to export their successes

    NHL playoffs 2025!

    I still have flashbacks to the decade of darkness, where this team lost so many 3 goal leads that I still can't unclench.

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending
