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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

Thanks the answers, and thanks for doing this historical work.

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.

What do you mean by go clunk?

What ever they can bill out.

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...

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.
