RIP.

As a reserve MMT with a reserve service battalion, you will probably spend most exercises in the field learning how to support combat arms and combat support units. Organizing delivery points, etc. As part of that you would do a fair bit of field craft, tactical delivery, command posts. Not...

Have you selected a program and submitted the forms for the programme? What are you trying to get from VAC directly? The program doesn't require direct contact with VAC unless there is some question about eligibility. Myself and a friend just fired in the forms through MyVAC. We had to do some...

Without the medical or interview you chance is zero. If you pass both your chance is higher than zero.

They will cover courses up to your funding envelope if they meet the criteria. Here's the full policy: Education and Training Benefit | Veterans Affairs Canada Remember that the funding amounts there are from 2018. There has been six years of cost of living increases since. Here is the current...

Honestly, I used two sided tape around 10 years ago and it's still going strong.

This but is a bit puzzling.

Yes, was in Eritrea and Haiti with Ryan. Sad to hear that news. RIP fellows.

Reading comprehension fail for the win!

I did specify main, not biggest 😉. New facilities is good. We ran into problems with MSE Ops from Borden running out of driving hours because flights were late and then had to scramble to find somewhere to park the trucks while the drivers had a nap. And of course Trenton required the...

We had to plan support to Afghanistan around that gool course. Good riddance, should be burnt to the ground. Of course the biggest transport hub closest to the main ammo depot will be getting improved ability to hold ammo (1.1) with this expansion right? Right?

Select Nova Scotia, type in community and you get a list of the NSCC campuses. Stay away from institutions with career college in the title. Stuck with ones that have established campuses that are more than an office and some rooms in a stripmall. There are good distance institutions, not sure...

Here's the master list. https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/programs/designated-schools.html

You currently have a residence and dependants and will be separated from them, and get an allowance to pay for the costs of 'living' in two places. If you move them on your own dime, you will cease to be paid separation expense. You are expected to be separated from family while on basic...

I'm currently enrolled in the ETB. Going to an accredited college (NSCC should count), and taking a program that provides a diploma/degree will count to draw funds against. You do not get funding for specifics like books if enrolled in a program, you a TAXABLE cash payment per semester. For me...

So kid with garbage bag is the same as kid with what looks like a weapon? The old peacekeeping ROE exercises are irrelevant and nobody cares you got told you were wrong 20 years ago. I'm thinking you have never been behind a GPMG on top of a truck stopped in a village with people carrying on...

That's not how its done in Canada. Let the program wither until there is a project office that does nothing, then start a whole new program from zero, and don't shut down the old office.

It's late and I'm tired, but I have to think that autonomous, unarmed vehicles are perfect targets for suicide bombers (yesterday's war), tethered drones/ground vehicles (today's war), and probably whatever will come next (guy with a laser/LED dazzler or air rifle messing with the follow...

Every truck on the Brit convoys I did in Afghanistan had a GPMG on a ring mount...except maybe the Pinz that the FAC/JTAC rolled in. Or 40mm on WIMIKs or Jackels. No reason for any serious log organization not to do the same. I know if we had to stop in an urban area, or even small village...

Thanks the answers, and thanks for doing this historical work.
