From the announcement: They asked a bunch of kids. Kids don't know shit about shit and have no place in the discussion. I know that makes me sound old and God damn it I don't care. Why don't I ask a bunch of 13 year olds about tax policy while I'm at it.

The AWS trade is basically dead at this point. Because we are so short on the bottom, they are capping promotions at the same time an entire generation of members are becoming pensionable. People are getting out because they don't see any growth individually or as a trade. Last I checked the...

That is the biggest problem. I do what needs to be done, that is who I am at my core. I guess I just have to get over it and let things go undone if need be.

I need some advice. A little background to start: I'm over 70% disabled according to VAC and my 20 comes due in about a year. My problem is that I don't ever see a point where I won't be able to do my job due to my injuries. I still go to the gym almost every day and I can still out 'physical' a...

Are you all so completely oblivious as to the concept of humour that I have to break down why someone might think this was funny? Ok here goes. He is speaking at an event celebrating women in the workplace. That is the opposite of being in the kitchen. By saying 'get back in the kitchen", he is...

It was clearly a bad joke. Can we stop pretending he meant it seriously? He wasn't laughing at the women there, he was making a joke at how far things have come. It's the kind of joke you make around a couple of friends who know you not in the opening remarks of a conference. Doesn't mean he is...

I think we absolutely have to hold superstars as accountable as everyone else. However, I don't agree with your idea that the little things don't matter. If someone doesn't get a hair cut, despite knowing they need a haircut, it tells me something about their character. If a unit does a bun...

I thought it was a waste of my time, designed like a sermon not a conversation and was obvious to its biases. All you had to do was read the objectives to learn what you were supposed to learn. On top of that, I also sat in a session with my boss and the DCO, which definitely killed some...

I'm an aircraft technician but thank's for being a dick. I was making a joke about the word Bespoke and how it carries a connotation of expensive like a bespoke suit.

I don't think we can afford bespoke repairs.

From what I have been told, the cracks are in the tail section near where the tail and the fuselage join. They are structural in nature. I have also been told that Sikorsky had known about the issue with the 92Fs but hadn't informed the military, although this could just be rumour so we should...

Evidence based is the new synergy. It used to mean something but now it is just something that gets thrown out to sound sciencey and modern. How do you have an "evidence based framework" for subjective character traits?

Come to think of it, inclusivity is under one of the bullet points already. Working with others maybe?

It is bad enough that we start writing them 3-4 months before the end of the reporting period. I ended up grieving my PER this year, in part because nothing I did between Jan and Mar was mentioned. In a normal year that would be less of an issue because I had a lot of meat come Christmas, Covid...

Ding ding ding! The problem is with how the military lets its superstars get away with things most of us would hang for. We have all seen it. Guys like Vance would still get hard right PERs. They write PERs to get the people they want promoted promoted not to figure out who should be promoted...

Fuck I can't wait to retire. I only get 9 lines to cover everything a person did in a year to the point everything is so short as to be essentially meaningless but we need two whole lines on what a person is doing for inclusion. What are you supposed to say "Cpl Bloggins didn't exclude the black...

Everyone can agree that a 17 year old kid had no business being there. But because he shouldn't have been there doesn't mean he isn't allowed to be there. We have never held the poor decisions of the victim against them. Once he was there he was entitled to be unmolested by the rioters. As...

You sign a document authorizing VAC to discuss your medical information with your Dr already so they wouldn't need to seek extra approval. They really shouldn't have to come back to you for more medical information. The VAC Dr can easily pick up the phone and get clarification on a diagnosis...

Ben Isitt is an asshat and at the center of almost every bulllshit idea coming out of Victoria council for more than a decade. Helps is almost as bad.

The US Military will definitely appreciate our commitment to reconciliation and gender equality. That should be enough. Right? I'm partially joking but our capabilities are (relatively speaking) way worse than the decade of darkness at a time when China is rising, Russia is trying to regain...
