Cover Your Ass.

I know.

I would prefer to provide support payments to individual people rather than band governments, as many of the latter are very corrupt as has been noted. The bands could then tax their people to pay for services. The desire of the people to enforce accountability should improve as it should be...

I got mine issued a few years ago, but never had the opportunity to wear it except with mess dress. II like it and it works and should have been standardized decades ago. A means of attaching a cap badge to the front would be nice, and perhaps an operational dress version as well - can they...

The Franco platoon on my Chilliwack course would occasionally remove the flappy thing, pull the top of the hat up, and wear them sideways while marching and singing and carrying mops through the (then brand-new) shacks late in the evening. They sold for $3.15 in Clothing Stores as an optional...

The picture will not open up for me for some reason. Is that the black-fur dress hat with the green flap on the left-hand side?

I saw plenty of A-10 dry CAS missions on minor and major exercises in my three years in Germany - one of the Kiowa roles was FAC (Forward Air Control) and we did it quite a lot. They were great, but I really didn't think that what I saw them doing was as survivable as they thought it was...

You were spared the indignity of the old green work dress winter baseball caps with black fur fold-up ear flaps. Too many - one is too many - students on my PFT in Portage in January 1979 wore those fashion horrors.

Not sure if that should be read as "if only we'd been sporting ties (in addition to flying suits)" or "if we'd only been sporting ties (and nothing else)"...

I believe that I have one of those in my collection. The buttons were a FOD hazard, so those transport only flying suits did not last long.

Unless something has recently changed, as much pertains to passengers as well as crew - like aircraft survival kits and life rafts.

Seeing this gross injustice finally corrected, even partially and far too late, gives me joy. Her fight should never have been necessary in the first place. I am not sure what gender had to do with it, though - wrong is wrong, and her mistreatment was almost as wrong and inhumane as anything...

Thanks tons. It's so obvious now.

I'm sure that it's reeeeaaaallly easy to find, Mike, but...

We always had excellent serviceability on exercises and ops, and less in garrison - where time could be taken to fix things and conduct major maintenance.

None of the senior people who've been me-tooed of late have sported beards. Coincidence, or...?

I have never signed for an aircraft that was less than airworthy. There may have been some minor unserviceabilities at times, but never anything unsafe or that might have limited my mission.

Sort out the delay and bottleneck problems in the recruiting process. Sort out the delay and bottleneck problems in the training process. Eliminate four years of wasted time at RMC. I joined the Regular Force under OCTP (Officer Candidate Training Plan) in 1978. Recruiting, less a two-month...

I can't see the Griffon's load having been lightened in Afghanistan as it was used for escort and CCA etcetera.

I just sent what I had previously written to [email protected] after viewing: https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/maple-leaf/defence/2021/05/share-your-thoughts-on-proposed-designs-national-monument-mission-afghanistan.html
