Hello, I am trying to track down a video of a training exercise I saw somewhere. In the video there was a room with a bunch of pipes and valves and sea water was dumped inside to simulate a sinking ship. The people stuck in side had to work together to stop the flooding. I've search youtube...

I've come to accept (doesn't mean it's okay) that the VAC takes 6 months to do anything. I apply or send in for something, I don't expect a response for 6 months. If they come back requesting more info, it's another 6 months from the day they get it. Lots of this stuff could be automated, and...

Mind you, free edumacation is worth its weight in gold. If you decide you are up for it then grab it. (When/if ready/able to)

You may want to consider applying for the ELB. You may qualify and be approved for it, but won't receive payments for it unless you come off LTD for some reason. Think of it as a backup plan. If you do qualify for ELB and are receiving LTD, I'm wondering if you could then make the case that...

There are definitely some benefits to having a profit motivated corp handling some files. Dominantly I suspect they can provide more efficient and effective support for those who qualify than the government can in many cases. (At the expense of those who's files are rejected, of course) Remember...

"Understanding Convolutional Neural Networks"....I hate my life. :/

Not exact amount, but I think that is close enough to say this is  a smoke and mirror show letting them get away with living up to their 90% commitment by not paying effectively anything extra.

I'm reading it that the new minimum will be 90% of a senior private, which I'm willing to bet is equivalent to the 75% of a Cpl pay....so this is like selling fuel for a 'lower price' by changing the ratings from gallons to liters. Lovely.

Ah, I didn't really scrutinize it. Still funny in my books.

It's likely a mechanism put in place to help push files through faster. Either it's not being enforced, or they don't have the manpower to process within 16 weeks.

Just FYI Revenue Canada makes the same 16 week claim when you refile etc.  The government knows the game of delay-delay-delay, and will play it when it suits their need. It's not the person on the other end who is trying to obstruct you, it's the policies and procedure they use to process cases...

Neat...although I get the feeling 'low cost' is a relative term here. ;)

Three years! She'll be all haggered and used up by the time I get her issued.  [lol:

Can I get an emotional support exotic dancer?  :D

I'm thinking that bullets are going to cost almost as much as the weapon in the future. I recall a stand-up routine by Chris Rock where he said the way to solve the gun problem was to make bullets cost 5,000 dollars. If someone got shot three or four times then you know he must have really...

Thanks for that reference. The fellow was saying shots had a two inch penetration. Then he stated Wonder how that is determined to be what is needed for a defensive load? Are they assuming the guy is wearing an armored vest? Looks like this pistol won't be up to the task after all...

Whoever happens to be behind the guy I'm shooting, I suppose. ;) Solid point. The same could be said for a 9mm, but odds of missing someone you don't want to hit are much better with a smaller bullet. Hm.

Good point, but I don't have to be nearly as on the mark as with a 9mm. Someone standing just 5 yrds down the hallway would have a spread up to 10 inches diameter come at them. That's a huge difference from a single 9mm bullet, which is 0.35 inches. It's a whopping 28x the area. I totally...

The CF uses the 9mm Browning and a 9mm Sigsauer (I don't recall the model). I've shot both these pistols. My Browning would fall apart frequently and I'm pretty sure it would have been better to throw it at the enemy than try and shoot it. My Sig was a lovely handgun, but for someone who didn't...

I'm not sure if this was posted before, but this hits an all new level of pathetic. His 'Issued K-9' and 'Casual Friday' is comedy at its finest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kfaWE-JFwY
