Minimal new kit is fucked, reserve kit quality and VOR is beyond critical. I hope theyre careful with this and do not allow deployments only for reservists that sign up for the 24 month class c. Gutting outcans in favour of domops for the general reserve is a fantastic way to crater reserve...

I wonder how that will play out. Integrated battlegroups would be interesting. A coy Blogginsville rifles and B sqn Xyz Horse with a CSS subunit?

The dental fit stuff is so opaque. I have never had a cavity and maintain good oral health but was deemed dental unfit in 2023. A year later wiyh no change I was found fit. Its odd.

Thatll sure help the shortages of troops going on Reassurance, tell the 10ish percent of the subunit that is augmentees they get a paycut lmao 😉

The 8% is more than made up for by the fact Im away from my wife and life for an extra 6 months for my workup, the regs get to go home at night at least. Its been a few long months so far.

That is incorrect. All turreted TAPVs run Kongsberg DRWS with AGL and C6, which is an awful combination for offensives and practically useless beyond rear area security.

The surveillance vehicle is officially dead too, couldnt pass RAMD. We're in real desperate straits here.

No, but the jerrycan he's been tossing sbout the room certsinly doesnt help. I love the Dan Carlin term historical arsonist, it fits the Don perfectly.

Because if Im doing the job of the Regs, I expect to be paid like them.

Speaking of change, Ive been in the field for the better part of a month. Have any of the army reform plans gone public yet?

A combat team breach isnt an engineer task, its a combined arms task. The AEV cant possibly bring both the scoop/fascines for crossing AT ditches and the rollers or the plough. Too much weight and theyre very hard on hulls. Our MBTs are designed to take the equipment for the task and assist in...

Careful with cutting breaching. Its unsexy but vital and the chimos cant do it alone. The plough clears the lane and the rollers prove it before the aev moves up

Whatever happens on the tank front needs to happen quick if the rumours about a new armour regiment in either Wainwright or Shilo are to be believed.

Im reading 1 Horse may be rerolled into a HIMARS regiment. Neat.

Certainly seems bass ackwards haha

There is family related leave yes. Both compassionate and for normal fmaily stuff like taking your wife/kids to medical appointments.

Dont mind me, Im a moron. Im mixing up holiday and sick leave. I blane Alexander Keith and the Labour Day Classic 😂

Guilty. I roll a bottle of vodka down the hallway and they all chase looney tunes style. Easy in and out.

My collective definitely has an upper limit.

You may ask lol. I dont want to doxx myself. Probably not too many reservists in my department in my region lol
