    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    You know, I don't want anything super flashy or massively expensive - just ambulances. Ones that are reliable, functional, and rapidly available in decent numbers. Is that too much to ask?

    Houthi Red Sea Blockade

    I cannot even begin to imagine the inertia of that large a mass turning that sharply at that speed either.

    2025 India / Pakistan war

    In theory almost anything is possible with enough decent engineering, money, and national will. In reality, it will not be that easy, it will take large sums of money, and unless Modi wants to be dictator for life (I'm not ruling that out either), it will not be completed under his watch. It...

    27 Apr 2025: "Several people killed, others injured after vehicle drives into Vancouver street festival crowd: police"

    I'm not so sure that he will be successful with NCR. I absolutely admit that I have limited experience (1x murder trial where I was the AO for 8 weeks), but the Crown experts clearly laid out the criteria for NCR - they must be incapable of controlling their actions, unaware of what they were...

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    Last count also seemed to have >1,200 injured. That is one hell of a big bang. Was somebody shipping explosives under cover, maybe rockets/fuel??? One NYT article sites an unidentified source saying it was, "...sodium perchlorate, a major ingredient in solid fuel for missiles." Was it being...

    Army Reserve Class B

    If you are working on a long term Class B, such as a three year position, then you will have weekends off for the most part. There is a bit of give and take involved, and depending on your employer you may work the occasional weekend. For example, I have been Class B (or C) since 1997, and I...

    Occasional Cannabis Oil Use For Sleep (Medical Exam)

    Geez, I thought all the Bowie fans were old guys like me, pushing ever closer to retirement age!

    Rejoining in the Res F during medical residency

    Sorry, everyone has to take leave some time, I just got back... There's a couple of issues here: - There's a great reluctance at the moment to bring on Dr until they have an unrestricted license. I've been pushing back on this for a couple of years with no success. We used to have R55U in the...

    The War in Ukraine

    I wonder what the rate of fire would be? And, does adverse weather impact the ability to use it - for example, would rain cause diffraction and scattering of the beam?

    Dreadnaught Submarine Model

    What is this? A nuclear submarine for ants? How can we be expected to enforce nuclear deterrence if they can't even fit inside the submarine?

    The War in Ukraine

    Kevin - my concern is that I truly believe Putin is fully aware of the fact that there is now no possible scenario where he backs off and survives. Prior to this war he had systematically pillaged the Russian coffers to pad his own bank accounts. Had he left power peacefully then, a full audit...

    Sikh turban ribbons? Who can wear and with what uniform?

    I think some of that may be personal as well. For formal events and parades, the folks I know have worn the ribbons. For less formal activities and training, they don't.

    Sikh turban ribbons? Who can wear and with what uniform?

    My friend is a Major. Regiments and branches will have specific colours, but I am not that much of an expert to know what they are. Sanguine and green are the medical branch colours, so sanguine was chosen as the ribbon colour to go with the green turban - it gives a really nice contrast. It is...

    Sikh turban ribbons? Who can wear and with what uniform?

    Good questions - it is covered in the Dress Instructions - Section 3 - Spiritual Accommodations (Dress instructions | Section 3 Spiritual accommodation - Canada.ca). Technically it notes that: Crossed ribbons may be worn on the Navy, army and air force turbans in accordance with...

    If you are willing to send me a PM with your name, email, and phone number, I can send it to the project IT folks to see if they can reach out to you and help track down the problem.

    Logistic Vehicle Modernization Project - Replacing everything from LUVW to SHLVW

    You are spot on with this assessment. Vehicles are going to be burned through at a furious rate. Stop trying to buy 1,200-1,500 of the absolute best all encompassing vehicle you can find. Get the 70-80% solution and buy more than you need. The LSVW is the result of late 1980s...
