    Erin O’Toole not seeking re-election

    Out of curiosity, was he tactically sound or was it obvious he was going to release asap? Not mutually exclusive I suppose but still wondering…

    FARP mobility?

    FARP is bread and butter stuff. So many options now with the 47. Not to say we can’t improve though. When we were operating in Mali, which was surprisingly similar to northern ops wrt distances/available support/hospitable climate (just take the negative off of the temp), we were able to...

    Favorite Issued Kit

    Wool long johns. I’m a sucker for anything wool though, doesn’t get as stinky and self regulates temperature. Glad I’m not the only one that likes the waffle scarf!

    How is military life as infantry?

    Not to be a party pooper but what’s your release item? Perhaps not unsurmountable but could be the first hurdle you encounter.

    Ricks Napkin Challenge- The Infantry Section and Platoon

    Wow, just stumbled across this thread. Didn’t know what a “Napkin Challenge” was. Embarrassed to say that this thread has uncovered some shortcomings in my military knowledge. As a blue-green TacHel guy I’m going to be re-reading this with a scotch tonight once the kids are in bed. Some of...

    Transfer Value... buying an annuity?

    If I took the TV I would have a fixed income portion to try to reduce volatility. Not saying 40% of my portfolio would be government bonds but 20 equity stocks is aggressive for me. Ack that power Corp and Brookfield has many holdings. Keeping it ton just Canada makes me nervous too. At that...

    Transfer Value... buying an annuity?

    Even if your choices are blue chip stocks a portfolio of 20 equity stocks isn’t exactly diversified nor balanced. The volatility of such a portfolio, especially for the purposes of a retirement fund, would be inappropriately high in my opinion. Probably cause undue stress and/or a panic sell at...

    Op UNIFIER - CAF and the Ukraine Crisis

    These numbers are incredible. I don’t know if SSE’s numbers are realistic or not but it’s crazy to me how much difficulty the CAF has with fulfilling their mandate of deploying overseas. I often think we’re too risk averse, we don’t need everyone deploying to be all singing and all dancing. We...

    Transfer Value... buying an annuity?

    Shoot, just noticed that I made a mistake on SupersonicMax’s TV number (nice numbers btw!). Since numbers are kinda important to this conversation, ack that it’s 1.6 million. Still good but some preservation of capital will be compromised. You’ll have to die earlier, spend less or get better...

    Transfer Value... buying an annuity?

    TV is definitely an interesting option. More financial freedom but with that comes risk and stress for sure. I think we’re too conditioned to just take a deferred pension when it’s so dependent upon personal circumstances. Ie; life expectancy, estate planning, life-style where you want to...
