Opie, I would suggest just wearing 1 set of insoles. As well, even though the eyelets are touching there will still be some stretch in the leather, this is unavoidable unfortunately. I have the same issue with mine, and I've had them for about 18 months now. After some time you'll get used to...

Good call. Rumour is a horrible thing. It allows people hope, or disappointment depending on the circumstances. And of course when the rumour is deemed false it breeds disappointment, or hope depending on the circumstances. Hearing rumours like this is akin to me saying "Only applicants with...

Supply doesn't do this, however maybe those that work in clothing might want it, you know, when people get mad that we can't give them all the Gucci kit.

On my BMQ we had about 3 ND's in the span of 35 minutes. As well, there was one that wasn't noticed by the staff, so it didn't happen. Total just in my platoon =4. On My SQ we had 1. She cocked it twice with the mag on then removed the mag and fired. She tried to blame the weapon, and lost. When...

If you have kept paper copies of everything from before there is a chance you will get it back. This would be a conversation that would have to happen at a unit level though. Again, the gentleman that helped me get on my course did this. He was RCR for 20 years before retiring and coming back...

Will do. Maybe the Bn will realize they have an issue with qualifications when 3 trailers show up on exercise. (Only using 3 as an example, but the number will be low.)

I had the DDC done in August, received my 404's for A1 and B1 in September, yet wasn't able to get the ML qualification until the beginning of this month, and that was having the temp 404 for the ML since October. The reason why nobody is getting trailer qualified here in Edmonton is because for...

kkwd, your spam one is priceless.

From the sounds of it it`s only a 1 Svc problem. Not enough instructors available, either due to being on TF, or leave after TF. Also, my course only qualified me on the ML, not ML with trailer. This is another sticking point with MSE Safety out here. When there are only a small handful of...

Try telling MSE Safety that here in Edmonton. It took me from July to January just to get an ML course, fighting tooth and nail nonetheless. And I almost didn't get it either if it wasn't for 1 person upstairs getting pissed off and going to bat for me. I know, there is a massive difference...

I'll put it this way, there isn't even enough time to learn how to operate a forklift on the course. That is how fast and furious the material is coming for the students. One would be led to believe that using a forklift is even more essential to doing ones job as a supply tech, let alone...

That would be getting caught up in the minute details with wording. Lack of attention to detail will get people hurt, there is no doubt about that. Someone may not get hurt every time a detail is missed, but if a big one is missed, it can have the potential to be catastrophic. Asking questions...

Thanks Mike! Has anyone told you that you rock absolutely lately? Because you do! (Thanks again for all the great work you do, I don't think you hear that enough)

As I stated in my second post on this I've lost all of my culture. I've gotten over it, I was using my heritage as an example, however I feel I failed in making that point. There are many more immigrant origins that are in the same boat as my heritage when it comes to loss. They have also gotten...

I apologize if I seemed intolerant, it just irritates me beyond belief when people complain constantly about how they are losing a language or culture when there are many others who have lost all history when they come to Canada. As and example, the french have kept their last name with...

Mr Plow, that is understandable, however when a Supply Tech is on course, they don't know where they are going. If they are required to run DP's then they will be course loaded on SQ. On the Sup Tech 3's course they care more that you know how to issue the bullet than if you know how to use...

The program isn't set up for us to store weapons while on course. The school doesn't have weapons rack in the class, or in the mods. Weapons aren't a priority for QL3 Supply students as the students are more concerned with learning how to issue /requisition/return items.

So you have recently been on a QL3 Supply course now? Really man, what is your deal today? On the 3's course the only time you might see a weapon is on the tour of the supply building, in the vault. On the course, they don't even think about weapons, unless it's to do an issue. I may have to...

Yes you will be required to march around as a course (in the school, as well as to the mess). After class is done for the day you can walk around as normal. You will NOT be issued a weapon, we are a support trade, we focus on supporting, not spearheading. There is no field portion either...

Ok, so I'd like to do a little math here, for my sanity.... [begin rant/]The French lose a battle, however the language is still spoken, AND there is still french culture. In fact there is an entire province that has French as a first official language. I'm of polish decent, we came to Canada...
