What about just not promoting Capts?

Isn't that the same country that pays farmers not to farm, though?

Good day. And your experience with courses and physical fitness standards outside of recruit training within your country is?

Keywords highlighted. I'd want the paperwork signed off too.

Three points: One, if your "lifelong goal" is to be infantry, and you don't have immediate commitments such as three kids to support, what's held you up from your goal and why are you spinning over reg vs res and finances? You are going to get an incomplete picture, you are going to be making...

People with "lesser" injuries are not causing the problems with VAC. If someone's injured, and it continues to have an impact several months down the line, by all means, put in a claim. Go to a Legion service officer, discuss what you need to substantiate it, and get it done now. There may be...

I'm still curious about this math. A basic Corporal makes more than a senior Private.

There were two promises that I noticed from Trudeau: Lifelong pensions Free education, including four years of university Neither happened. I expect either legislation in the last five minutes of this session of parliament or a draft that they won't have yet voted in by the start of the next...

If you're going to that extent, just get a large SSD and install it into your computer. There's 1TBs running at $300 a piece. They're fast, they're large, and you can avoid having multiple boxes hither and yon. eSATA's going to be dead sooner rather than later (though the external you were...

Expansion on this. Scott, do you know how to set the directory for working files to somewhere other than the local disk?

Does he have a job? Sure, he's a paperpusher for the provincial government. Its probably decent pay, and he's had it for about four years now. Is he competent and effective at it? My educated guess says no.

Call me a pedant, but there's a difference between what you would be paid and Class A pay.

No problem. I'm surprised you upgraded to a relatively small SSHD. If all you want is some extra storage, there's 1TB SSDs out there running for $300. That's a sweetspot, but you can still go smaller and cheaper. It doesn't give you some of the advantages of a NAS, like a redundant array, but...

In my personal belief system, Apple is evil. I don't touch their hardware where I don't have to. I am setting up a NAS for my dad this weekend, however, and he does use a Mac. I might makes some notes for a walkthrough for you. To confirm, you're planning on using this for your files, and you...

My apologies for the drive-by post. It's been a fun few weeks. I will see if I can find tasks where I can afford to let him run amok. I've got some tight schedules, and right now its tough for me to risk much in the way of manhours of productive work. 1. He is a beloved mascot, particularly...

Explain to me why you would train a tech to be crappy sig op, or a tech sgt to be a crappy sig tp wo? The Infantry MWO or Capt might see the cap badge and make assumptions, but they also don't know a clerk from a driver by cap badge. So what? When a tech got flown in to set up a piece of kit on...

No longer having to train a tech as a sig op and then a sig op det commander would certainly be a step forward.

I've seen it not work particularly well at CFSCE, and I'm not sorry to hear if its gone. Some of it was the poor design of course material, but the sheer disconnect between the regular instructors (and students) and the civilian instructors (who were former regforce but had nothing to do with...

I am trying to advantageously employ a highly experienced, somewhat skilled, somewhat less than intelligent soldier. Today was an especially frustrating day. Short, simple instructions to complete one task and move on to the next. Not complicated, not said fast, and confirmation requested and...

Anyone remember ralphbucks before an election?
