I did write a memo/service paper suggesting this shortly after I got back. The senior ATO at the time, understandably, pointed at Supply Tech levels which were in the shitter and said it was a non starter.

Sure. I was the Ammunition Technical WO for the British CSupps troop in Helmand. I had two LCpl ammo techs (Canadian QL4 equivalent) who had been authorized to perform issue inspections and fraction cans without direct supervision (QL3 everything watched, QL5 work on own). I also had a Sgt &...

Good storage, 50+ years. I used cast TNT blocks from Op Snowball in 2022, metal clad 50lb TNT charges mfr in 1944 in 2004/5. First thing to go on a projectile would be the metal components from corrosion. How many days do you want to fight for and with what? How long do you estimate our...

If the whispers I've heard about new energetic storage and processing infra are true then Canada will be well served. The expansion to support units is also long overdue. I will stand by my belief there are tooany ammo techs and what we need are better trained supply techs that can make a career...

Doesn't matter. They take the same fuzes, have the same compatibility class so they can be stored together. What is needed is more infrastructure to store what the army refuses to get rid of. If you keep getting and needing more stuff that needs specialized storage, it gets tiring pretty...

And they tried for part of a year in the 90s. But they used 106RR. We stored their ammo in Wainwright (a few eyebrows were raised when a couple of pallets came arrived a few years after the weapon left service). Apparently it didn't do the job very well and Canada just fell back on the old...

You don't know what you're missing out on.

Time to get four agents in place to carry him?

So because your incorrect, preconceived notions are wrong, rather than accepting the truth, you are going to take your teddy and leave rather than continue to contribute to the electoral process that selects out government? Absolutely rational and reasonable decision.

Start with funny Canadian hats. More muskrat.

And we have plenty of reminders of that in unit names and crests across all the services. Anecdotally, my last section had four people in it. Two white, one with a permanent light tan, and one named Singh. The other three had European names. The only native born Canadian was the one named...

Yep, very valid points.

Yeah, if a pistol is your only weapon (lack of rifle mags indicate this) while you're standing around in the woods, you don't really have a weapon. Why bother.

Nope, capitalism. Companies are free to sell to who they want. And they want to sell to whoever will pay the highest. We could take over the companies and make them sell to certain people at certain prices. That's not capitalism, that's an aspect of communism.

Should make a Canadian only CV classification. Clear up all confusion. I'll see myself out.

It's a thing called prosperity theology. It posits that prayer and donation leads to individual wealth. A big thing amongst many evangelical Protestant churches because it means that attendees will get rich so it appeals to the rich and poor. Also the church get rich by the donations. But...

Count is going

Final poll in progress. T-10 holding for poll to complete.

Still bursting smoke, mostly has a bunch of hot stuff flying everywhere.

Lead to the rescue! Probably not, but we know it works. There are some alternatives out there.
