Why did I have to go out for supper tonight??? Sounds like I missed a good, fast, old fashioned Walt hunt. I sorta miss those, the last one was really fun.

Oooooooo, I smell a Walt hunt! :D

All depends on the staff and their individual attitudes. Some are decent, as your PL Warrant seemed, others want to make a point. In the case I mentioned, he buddy run the second time for fun, and make a point as well. However there were times when this one guy was just out of line and needed...

Each pole has a number for on one side of it for maintenance purposes I believe. The staff didn't really care what the pole number was, self discipline was the lesson of that day. There was one time they made someone do that run, while buddy is running to the pole the Sgt tells the platoon he...

If you join, and go out of your lane whilst on BMQ, you WILL be sorted out on the spot by your course staff. One good jacking and you'll learn, unless you desire a crap load of pain inflicted by means of PT, then you will keep going out of your lane. There was one fellow on my basic that just...

My bad, missed the tongue in cheek. Must have more.... coffee...

You'll notice many of us are loggies that enjoy poking a little fun at the misconceptions that surround our trades.

My more efficient way involves being able to access the drums of stock in a reasonable manner. One would imagine that if all of the drums of DEX III are right next to each other, the 15w40 next to each other and so on, as compared to "Just put all of the stuff that isn't being tested over there"...

That's what I'm thinking. Like I said, it helps if the CoC backs up the troops. In my case, my supervisor seems to act like a yes man. Yes to those above him, not so much to us below him. I'm hoping for a switch in the next slave trade, but these are the sort of issues that cause us young folk...

That was a good laugh though, you must admit. I much preferred the one where right after the CO spent 5 minutes answering a question about the MSVS  the very next guy asks "So, when do we get the ML replacement?" Gold! It's like he slept right through it, AND he was sitting right in front of...

Working in a POL section, being nominated for a HAZMat course, then being told "No, you aren't going because nobody is to leave the ex for a course." Also, the vehicles were an example. I know there is a lack of instructors and vehicles. I asked one of the instructors while in Suffield "What...

My answer, and it would have shut my mom up pretty quick, and gotten a laugh out of my step dad, would have been.... "All of them." (cue exit music) :D

Here's my 2 cents, being a "young pup" with 16 months left in my initial contract. There are some days that I love my job, but those days are few and far between. I joined to be a supply tech, and up until Ex Desert Ram, I had done more supply work before my 3's than I did in the 8 months after...

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if they had a company make a "security container" made out clear lexan, with no locking capability to speak of, held closed by velcro.

I believe the cost was $18 and change per gallon, however, as I stated, we are stuck with standing offers, and that is through Sentinel based out of Montreal. From what I've heard, they are supplied by a company out of Paris. Trust me, if I could get the other stuff, and faster, I would do it in...

I believe it's the turret on the LAV III, and the ramp on the Bison. However, I'm not a driver of those, so I can't be 100%. The fluid itself is a very high temperature hydraulic fluid. Also, part of the problem is that we are bound by standing offers, therefore MUST go through Sentinel, and...

Usually there is a "Last Minute" mopping that takes place. This, in theory, should leave two mops still damp. Although, yes, you will have a clean mop head, you MAY be picked up for having a dirty floor for having clean and dry mops. It's your platoons call however, feel free to give it a shot...

H-5606 is a somewhat common hydraulic fluid, more so than we were under the impression of initially. It's also from France, and takes us about 4-6 weeks to get in via Sentinel. There were some other unit specific fluids that we didn't know about that are time consuming to procure that we found...

I have to agree with you on this. As a side note, I had ordered $22 000 worth of H-5606 for this exercise, strictly based on the fact that 1VP had asked for 500l of the stuff for Rough Rider II. Lesson learned on that ex, transfered well to this ex, however not all items went this well.

Well, from my end, here's how it went for me. -My pers C7 didn't even leave it's case. I was attached to TN, therefore had to "borrow" theirs. Would have much preferred not having to carry one, as it only added hassle. If they had at least given us blanks, then fine. No rounds should equal no...
