CPDLC is exactly that - ATC chatting via text messages to aircrew. Most structured airspace (ie controlled) is vast with set routes in and out of congested airspace. Edmonton ACC controls the north (where presumably our UAS would operate) - separation is achieved through RVSM procedures and...

Maybe Ottawa for GCS since that’s where our Expeditionary HQ is located? Also all PED facilities are there too?

No details passed to me - my contact at 1 CAD mentioned it in passing when I was questioning the USAF safe to fly memo.

They seem decent enough. Been wearing them for a couple of months now. Zero cost to the user so that’s a plus…

Adding their own flavour to acceptable boots. Expanding the list per se. Similar to what the rotary wing fleets did to allow Matterhorn style boots years before BOOTFORGEN was imagined.

Some fleets are pushing their own style boots through the OA process, staffing them up and putting them on the list. The LRP community is one such fleet.

It’s on the A4 site at 1 CAD. USAF safe to fly list.

BOOTFORGEN is transitory and a stop gap in its nature and design. Eventually boots will be stocked on Logistik and we will be back to wearing what ever boot meets the SOR. Everyone lost their proverbial shit with this Royer announcement - evidently no one read the CANFORGEN where it clearly...

What base are you at?

I imagine we will just add the vaccine to the current list of required vaccinations for service in Canada. I don’t get a sign off on my APRV unless i have the correct set of needles in my arm. No APRV, no duty. Malingerers (sp?) won’t have an issue using this as a way to get out of their...

MP has selection course that is run only a couple of times a year. If your deployment interferes with this selection, your CT is delayed.

RHUs are not covered under the BC RTA.. (Is My Tenancy Covered Under B.C.’s Tenancy Laws?). Scroll down the military housing. Call the MPs and have this trespasser removed from your military housing. Recommend you talk to your SCWO ASAP.

Back to the topic at hand. CAS sent out this letter to the RCAF.

It will get better for the Fighter Force when we buy F-35s and the ATPL candidates dry up at Cool Pool and Bagtown.

Col Lehoux is good. She was DWComd 17 Wing when I was there. Very smart, very well rounded. She will do well at the RAWC.

437 bubbas wearing DEU during non VIP missions was a punishment - straight from the mouths of 437 bubbas themselves. I don’t think I will ever work a job that involves wearing 3Bs daily - I did that for 8 months at the language school as a 2Lt, I don’t plan on working in the NCR or going to a...

Our former CDS (the former green guy, not the recently former RCN one) got angry at the aircrew at 437 Sqn (Polaris unit) when they didn’t serve him a snack quick enough or recognize that he was the CDS (as the story goes). His punishment was they had to wear they DEU everywhere except over the...

Does the release clerk really care what you wear? It’s not like you see the Base Commander on the way out the door. I signed the PLCC card of my releasing Captain two weeks ago, he releases in April. I gave him the Covid-19 safe head nod and appreciative comments and sent him on his way.

I don’t know any dedicated Pilot staff officer positions that involve pushing paper around. Most are tactical level operations positions that require experienced operators (ie Pilot, ACSO, AEC). Ottawa is a different story as I have zero clue what happens there - probably lots of short days...

Highest IPC Captain (pilot) is making about what a 5 year co-Pilot makes at AC. They are all still making that kind of money due to a very strong union at Big Red. The only pilots furloughed at AC were those under 3-4 years seniority (ie those still on fixed pay).
