    Honestly, I used two sided tape around 10 years ago and it's still going strong.

    Opportunity to update the CC-150 fleet?

    I did specify main, not biggest 😉. New facilities is good. We ran into problems with MSE Ops from Borden running out of driving hours because flights were late and then had to scramble to find somewhere to park the trucks while the drivers had a nap. And of course Trenton required the...

    Opportunity to update the CC-150 fleet?

    We had to plan support to Afghanistan around that gool course. Good riddance, should be burnt to the ground. Of course the biggest transport hub closest to the main ammo depot will be getting improved ability to hold ammo (1.1) with this expansion right? Right?

    VAC Question Training Benefits

    Select Nova Scotia, type in community and you get a list of the NSCC campuses. Stay away from institutions with career college in the title. Stuck with ones that have established campuses that are more than an office and some rooms in a stripmall. There are good distance institutions, not sure...

    Application Process Samples [ 2019-present]

    You currently have a residence and dependants and will be separated from them, and get an allowance to pay for the costs of 'living' in two places. If you move them on your own dime, you will cease to be paid separation expense. You are expected to be separated from family while on basic...

    VAC Question Training Benefits

    I'm currently enrolled in the ETB. Going to an accredited college (NSCC should count), and taking a program that provides a diploma/degree will count to draw funds against. You do not get funding for specifics like books if enrolled in a program, you a TAXABLE cash payment per semester. For me...

    GBAD - The return of 'FOBS'

    So kid with garbage bag is the same as kid with what looks like a weapon? The old peacekeeping ROE exercises are irrelevant and nobody cares you got told you were wrong 20 years ago. I'm thinking you have never been behind a GPMG on top of a truck stopped in a village with people carrying on...

    Replacing the Subs

    That's not how its done in Canada. Let the program wither until there is a project office that does nothing, then start a whole new program from zero, and don't shut down the old office.

    GBAD - The return of 'FOBS'

    It's late and I'm tired, but I have to think that autonomous, unarmed vehicles are perfect targets for suicide bombers (yesterday's war), tethered drones/ground vehicles (today's war), and probably whatever will come next (guy with a laser/LED dazzler or air rifle messing with the follow...

    GBAD - The return of 'FOBS'

    Every truck on the Brit convoys I did in Afghanistan had a GPMG on a ring mount...except maybe the Pinz that the FAC/JTAC rolled in. Or 40mm on WIMIKs or Jackels. No reason for any serious log organization not to do the same. I know if we had to stop in an urban area, or even small village...

    CH-124 Sea King Historical Thread

    Thank you, that's very interesting. So the pilot had a display that recieved input from the 501 and this showed points the nav had programmed? Was it possible to have multiple points shown? Was that what the dial with 1-17 and MB, PTO for? Sorry for so many questions.

    USAF Maintainers merging jobs

    It was not terribly successful. The RCAF have muddled through and made it work, but have still had to break air weapons back out into their own trade. And now that general duties trade, can't remember what it is called. I was passing through the transit shacks in Borden in the 90s and bunked...
