The Army will be happy to be done hearing the whining from RCN too.

@rmc_wannabe I dont think the US military is, but bombastic leaders who just want to paint everything as roses are definitely overstating successes. This was never going to be a quick 4 week mission as the strikes need to be sustained for the long term to bring regime change or make Iran realize...

This is the best part, once they come back and download the media were going to get 4K pictures and video of what Apollo 8 saw. Unbelievably cool.

MANPADs are not an air picture and are almost impossible to stamp out. I think Brihard mentioned a MANPAD trap and it would be pretty easy to execute, especially after knowing CSAR would be coming in heavy. This is a tactical win only.

Not unexpected considering its a gen 4 aircraft likely hit by a manpad that would be impossible to eliminate. Hope the pilot is found safe.

Do you have this on scheduled send? It stops being mildly amusing when its posted twice in 18 hours.

Passer a pas passer par.

Translunar injection maneuver complete. They are on the way to the moon!!!

Quantity or quality? Anecdotally a lot of training failures on RQ Pte/DP1 because of the CFAT loss. Recruiting will also go up once the economy takes a crap, which is has and we're paying Privates $52K to $60K a year now.

Its on the NASA YouTube channel, great feed and pure science/launch info. No commercials or random commentators.

Live stream running all afternoon in the house, looking forward to watching the launch with my family.

Also a great soundbite to distract from Carney refusing to acknowledge his new strategic partner is engaging in forced labour.

We don't, we have a boat load of federal and provincial gas tax though.

There's a huge group of folks opposed to the project. Lots of expropriated land is required. Construction isn't even supposed to start by the end of the decade. How much are tickets going to cost if the rail project needs $90B CAD before the overruns start???

I had to move it here :confused:

The reservist augmentation is valuable but is honestly only required because we have an insufficient regular force size for the tasks we've been given by the government. The 15 to 20% augmentation is mandated, not requested for expeditionary ops and I distinctly remember reservists being...

No one else follows STANAGs, why should we?

Would you rather the PRes exist in a vacuum with no real task? They thumb their nose at being an augmentation force, didn't jump into the niche tasks (HUSAR, etc) and now you're thumbing your nose at Defense of Canada and DOMOPS? If 2 Div is only capable of DOMOPS then the PRes leadership (yes...

Absolutely. There's a giant venn diagram with the center point of "not blown up by FPV today" and that very much includes fieldcraft.

Trap/Skeet shooting come close to those numbers for target speed. We'd be wise to spend some time training folks to do that as a tool in the toolbox. Defeating a air threat needs layers and the shotgun falls under "oh fuck that's close" in the final layer. Immediately dismissing it means you're...
