Was meaning from the knee down. Not quite bell bottoms, but mine practically cover the entire shoe (unless, of course, you get floodies). Agree the thighs can be tight.

Wow.

To many in TB, we're just regular public servants like all the others. Why should we be treated any differently and given extravagant perks like free parking? That's just un-Canadian. Start adding up the benefits/allowances we've lost and the increases in contributions we've been forced to pay...

FTFY

Nice try.

The staffing process for such requests, when merited, is not what we're talking about here. But you're honestly going to recommend to Comd 1 CAD that he approve 30 days of compassionate leave for a guy whose grandma passed away, simply because the guy wrote a memo addressed to Comd 1 CAD and you...

True dat.

Ok, let's look at another example using Compassionate Leave. Let's say I have a family emergency and I request 30 days of compassionate leave. Per the CF Leave Policy, the approving authorities for compassionate leave are as follows: 7.1.04 Approving Authority The CO may approve up to 14...

First, there are far too many unknowns about the OP, the OP's unit, the OP's unit policies or lack thereof, the OP's motivations for the request, the WO and Adjt's reasons for not supporting it, the specifics of the tasking, and any and all other factors that one would normally consider in...

I think that it any unit - be it Army, Navy or Air Force - leaders at the WO and Adjt level are suitably skilled, knowledgeable, experienced and attuned to the CO's leadership expectations to be able to assess what merits a day off or not. That you would feel the need to write a memo to the CO...

Sure. I think you know what I'm saying.

Nice thought, but not possible. In the realm of aerial combat, if you're flying the second best aircraft, it usually means you're dead. It's not necessarily the air frame that wins, but the technology in it. If you don't have the latest, you may as well stay home... and then what's the point of...

True, just thought it was a rather unique/novel approach. Not planning any Textron stock purchases anytime soon.  ;D

Are you saying that there actually were WMDs in Iraq prior to the invasion? A close friend of mine was part of the UNSCOM weapons inspection team in Iraq. He told me from the get-go that there was no possible way that Iraq possessed WMDs prior to the invasion. Even Bush himself is on record as...

Someone thinks so... https://medium.com/war-is-boring/theres-a-new-american-jet-fighter-youve-probably-never-heard-of-9d154d12882

Most Canadians take their sovereignty for granted. That's both a good thing and a bad thing - good in the sense that they feel safe, secure and not threatened; bad in the sense that they may easily be lulled into a false sense of security. The boogy man is not always around the corner, but he is...

Asinine logic. Hey, those guys are f*****-up, so you should be too.

What was your reason for requesting short leave?

Our national defence is based on the notion of collective defence through partnerships in such things as NORAD, NATO, etc. That implies that we contribute what we are able to contribute, and as a G7 nation, I don't believe having fighter aircraft is beyond our financial means, especially when...

MC Hammer or Urkel... tough call  ;D
