That's a fast tug that can do more 3000km in 12 hours. Not saying that they aren't important, but would have been worthless here.

True, should have said Katusha/GRAD rocket.

Katusha is short hand for any Soviet/Russian MRLS system, originally truck mounted. BM21 are GRAD, or other version, from Iran, Arash. The $300 ones are mass produced, but in an ad hoc manner from water pipes or similiar material. Their propellant is not produced in what we would call a factory...

Jane Jacobs.

My condolences.

Three term limit for MPs, generous pension after one term. Maybe it will encourage high performers to take 4 years off to serve the country. If you're someone who could make 300k+ per year what's the incentive to run? If you're young, and want to serve and get a start in life it sets you up and...

So you wear it on your sleeve?

Aids to digging. That is all.

You should be in the Olympics with that jump. I said nothing about banning. Make people think about what they need, and maybe reduce fuel consumption. Standing by for being brigaded about how much more efficient trucks are now. So is everything else. And I drive a 2002 Sonoma V6, so take from...

Maybe if larger vehicles weren't exempt certain efficiency requirements, and had onerous taxes if they didn't meet efficiency requirements. That might push car manufacturers in North America to offer smaller, better designed vehicles- that are available offshore. Most people get trucks/full size...

Yep, very disinterested, seemed like he didn't want to be there. Maybe he didn't, but make an effort.

He didn't eventually. He disappointed from the beginning.

In my actual experience the man is an insincere weasel. He was my MP in Ottawa and you couldn't get a straight answer out of him at town halls, just attack lines, no action for constituents. He showed up at the WO & Sgts Mess one Nov 11, hovered away from everyone, a staffer brought folks to say...

According to this, board members are not paid. But are still on the 150k+ compensation disclosure list. But of a puzzle. I'm sure there are some benefits, travel, gratuities, etc. https://covenanthealth.ca/about/governance/financial-reporting/compensation-disclosure

Not all log. There are a few edge cases, ammo and postal (perhaps), where total numbers and numbers employed would make no sense to split elements. Ammo has one or two working for the air force, one or two strictly for the Navy. If you count coastal depots, there's maybe 30. Solutions?

The only people that do that are first year reg force ROTP, possibly just those attending RMC. For RMC, part 1 of basic, then 4 weeks of first year orientation program (FYOP), then first year of school, then second part of basic. Then start OJT, have some leave, trades training, all depending...

It's explained on the officer page. https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/services/benefits-military/education-training/basic-training/recruit-school/officers.html

Yeah, didn't think so either.

Oh, I know that, just confused how you would join 17 Wing as an MSE Op and then work with Militia units (apparently).
