Very messy, and someone has to clean after. Personally, I think we should use hyper-baric chambers in reverse: put the inmate in, seal, and very slowly reduce the oxygen content until the person naturally passes out. At that point of unconsciousness, quickly remove all the oxygen and wait 30...

It would make little sense to move assembly of six airframes somewhere else than the plant that already builds the average 40 airframe a year that the type assembles. In any event, even if assembly is there, last I checked, about 55% of the components were built in Quebec and another 20% around...

Right now, no party has a majority in the Asemblee Nationale. It's 59 seats PQ, with a "no-referendum" bloc made of the Liberals (40) and the Conservatives (19), for another equal 59 seats. The only problem: The balance of power, so to speak, goes to the socialist Quebec-Solidaire party with 9...

And I think that coast folks do understand what some of the jobs of the Aurora are, at least the commercial fishermen, because they know that when the Aurora's, or in the old days the Trackers and Argus' come buzzing on them it's because they are watching them as part of fisheries rules...

But it lets the militia /reserve units concentrate on the recruiting and training of the soldiers and sailors, not the officers. And the Universities divisions provided officers for both the reserves and the regulars, with the advantage that they had trained together to commission.

I thought in Blazing Saddles, it was Howard Johnson that always spoke. The running gag being that right after, someone would exclaim: "Howard Johnson is right!", because the motel chain named Howard Johnson's publicity catch phrase at the time was "Howard Johnson: Always Right".

But, FJAG, would you be against universities running University Training Divisions type of training during the fall/winter semesters, with summer indoc and DP1 training at army /naval / air bases in the summer and having them join militia/ reserve units after commissioning only, as was done in...

Because rockets are the cutting edge of technology.

@ArmyRick, there are no trade "tariffs" between provinces. You have trade barriers, which is quite different, and they usually arise out of the exercise of proper Provincial powers, but with side effects on the other provinces. It's a feature, not a bug, of our constitution, which is not to say...

He is certainly being treated in a compassionate way: Barely anyone brings up his declining faculty, be it in the party or the press. Compare that to the way President Biden's every small slip, lapse or misstep was treated both by the Republican, the press and in the end even his own party...

Which is what makes me glad I was MARS. :LOL:

Problem would be solved, at least for the RCN, if the CAF followed Halifax Tar's advice and got rid of purple trades: Then the RCN would have Storesmen (Storesperson) instead of Supply techs. :)

Basically, its a hangar within which you find cradles, an overhead crane system and a moonpool.

However, two wonderful pockets to stick your hands in. :ROFLMAO:

Well, they have to look after all those investments in US T-Bills.
