The reserve units and stone frigates are absolutely crucial in this going forward. They need to be far more visible and involved in communities to show the flag where the Regs usually cant as they were banished to the periphery decades ago. Not much COMREL going on in Cold Lake, Goose Bay, Shilo...

Man I would love context on how that came to being. Thats fucked.

Just to play Devil's Advocate here - is that a local gun plumber issue? Our reserve unit has over a dozen GPMGs and theyre always promptly repaired/inspected with little incident.

HOpefully part of the reforms is BSLs get allotments of their own kit - at least basic stuff like comms equipment and small arms. I can see what youre talking about being a nightmare for things like drivers courses though.

Part of the issue I think is overzealous supply techs with too much leeway. At least reserve side its all too common to have to advocate on behalf of junior members to get what theyre owed at base clothing stores. Not even talking gucci kit like DICE helmets or NEOs, but things like rucks. Not...

The two sides plan to say at their summit in Montreal that they want to speed up investment in critical mineral projects, strengthen supply chains, and improve supply security, including by stockpiling critical resources to mitigate “market fluctuations and geopolitical impacts.” "We will align...

Thats a bit of a distinction without a difference isnt it? If something internal breaks on a F35 I consider it broken. I want the RCAF flying CF35s as much as the next guy but I think we would be remiss to hand-wave the troubling maintenance issues they seem to be having - especially considering...

Hey, you better stop. We have a narrative to keep here.

Especially since the Stelco CEO applauded the tariffs initially to glaze the emperor a bit.

Saw one of the new Silverado Milcots. Bog standard 3500 with a crew cab. Fucking massive truck though. No placards, cabover or static straps though. Going to have to be bought out of unit funds I guess.

The French do some interesting stuff in all of their arms. I think we can really learn from them across the board, from their sub-sub-unit echelon vehicle per armoured troop to integrating a recce and force protection section into their tank troops. Neat solutions to some common problema.

I think you want to give that one some thought...

The same or more headquarters isnt necessarily a bad thing - it depends on deliverables. Like if the new fires brigade works out in the divisional fight context, thats a win. A sustainment brigade is absolutely a win long-term. We plan on growing the Army substantially so this will buff as we grow.

What do you even mean lmao? Weird.

Back to whatever depths from which you crawled. 🤢

That is a reward in and of itself.

Do you happen to remember the guy's name...😂

Idk - the DOMOP I did was harder, dirtier and more dangerous than my Latvia tour. Probably worthy of recognition.

Thats always been the more legit concern imo. Something closer to the Fenian Raids than an actual invasion. Not that we could do much in an actual invasion beyond terrorism.

Nothing crazy said but the Defence Minister addressed the Canadian Club yesterday. Some good summaries of ongoing projects.
