We have procured Foremost vehicles in the past, and there were the usual same two opposing views. The drivers thought they were a decent bit of kit, when used within their capabilities. The Maint folks didn't like them, as the maintenance on them was more difficult than just pulling parts and...

I didn't say that at all. I'm saying he was parroting what he was told. If a dozen individuals step forward and say, actually I'm a homeless CAF member, I would expect the MND to recant his previous statements and admit there is a problem. I'm not saying he would do that, I'm saying that is what...

Saying he lied implies he knew what he was saying was untrue. I would argue that he parroted the information given to him by CDS, who passed on the information that was collected. The fault lies in how that information was collected. I have heard, but cannot verify, that the question of how many...

But that would have negated the IA they were seeking to be successful. Hard to convince the OPFOR that wolves are in the area if you label all the poster "FOR EXERCISE ONLY". They were actually more successful in getting the results they were intending, as they not only convinced the OPFOR, but...

The Air Ops Officer trade is now a sort of jack of all trades in the RCAF. They are trained to do all the stuff the pilots don't necessarily want to deal with, and some of the stuff traditionally done by Navigators. They are also trained to be planners, Ops officers, etc.

I like to rile up my fighter pilot peers by highlighting the fact the F35 will make them more sensor operators then pilots.

I applaud you for making the decision to do what was best for you and your physical and mental health. That is what is important in this situation. It is not a surprise that they ended the harassment process once you submitted your release. The goal of the harassment program isn't to punish...

I have always thought we don't do a good job of actually explaining to officer recruits what their actual job will be upon commissioning, which I think leads to some of the problem children out there. We recruit individuals to be pilots, and they assume their job will be to fly planes for...

If we were only trying to get officer recruits to the Capt rank, or even the Maj rank in some cases, then not having a Bachelors degree would be fine for those MOSIDs that don't have a hard degree requirement. The issue becomes trying to make individuals competitive after those ranks, when just...

How do you know this? Way to try and inflame a situation. We allow US citizens immigrate to Canada all the time. One could argue that there have been very recent periods where their armed forces were accused of doing the same for the greater good. We didn't raise the issue then. We have...

Well, if we discount that the British ruled the area, according to this map I would say that Israel has received the most land during negotiations.

My issue is with the responses to the OP about why the clerk was in trouble and being charged. If someone wants retribution, revenge, or even if they think what they are doing is morally right, and make the decision to act, then as long as they are willing to accept the consequences without...

I'm surprised at how callous many on this site have become, which maybe is an indicator of the negative effects military service has on the psyche. I fully understand the frustration store employees, and this may not have been the first time this individual and his store was targeted, maybe even...

Perhaps the wording is fitted for but not with. Perhaps the thinking was that armed conflict is returning to being more conventional, where the enemy lines are more defined, and therefore we won't be sending our logistics vehicles through enemy held territory, there is a lessor need to have...

So as a non-Army type, I'm a little confused what the role of the Army Reserve as an organization. Reading through the recent posts, it seems (really broad brush) to be a poorly funded, poorly equipped group of individuals who don't really want to volunteer for anything that may inconvenience...

To keep this thread on topic, maybe the greater concern is the ensuing damage caused by accidently firing a round through the floor, trying to get the gun out to plink a few gophers.

Was he looking at upgrading his panel? If not, this decision by the municipality makes no sense. His house is likely already permitted to use up to 200 amps. Whether he uses this to charge his Tesla, or run carpentry equipment and his hot tub, it shouldn't matter to the municipality. Just that...

Not on the prairies, no. But when you think about the sizes, 1 section (1 mile x 1x mile) is 640 acres. So even if you are farming several sections (thousands of acres) road distance isn't that far. Granted, I'm speaking more to crop farming. But your point is valid about distances, the closest...

Except for the fact there are plenty of parts on an aircraft that TX and/or need to be inspected on a regular basis regardless of whether they are flown. All you are doing is punting the problem down the road, until you have an even larger number to "fix" with the same number of people. Unlike...

Actually, electric trucks on a farming operation make a lot of sense. They tend to be used for short distances, with a lot of starting and stopping, and tend to have large periods of time they sit idle. They are usually required for work requiring large torque/low speed needs, which electric...
