When I was in Cold Lake, without fail during Maple Flag, some European there for the exercise would ask about making a day trip to Jasper... When I would explain that it's a six hour drive each way, they would be genuinely shocked.

You dont dump people that have been that high tempo back into thw real world at home... Unless you want the USN to dominate the local news cycle for th3 first few weeks after return. Just like we went to Cyprus after Afghanistan, the Americans are choosing to inflict the "release" on a resort...

It's a true struggle daily, particularly when the soup is "mid" at best... Who knew free soup could be such a drag on morale... Fucking weak sailors will kill me before beer, and beer has been putting in a solid shift for at least a decade.

Fair enough, we all have a differing opinions on how much "freedom" should be allocated to everything, every day. I'm very much a proponent of securing critical industries behind a solid fence of tariffs or exclusions, but I understand where the free trade absolutists are coming from. I hope...

So, unlike the president, the eagle knew when the fight wasn't worth the cost. It's kind of sad that a dinosaur is smarter than the ruler of the most powerful nation on earth.

So... A "parked" truck hit controversial pipeline in the middle of a trade war... Maybe I'm a bit too pessimistic, but how can this be played against Canada/Ontario?

Also, the filtered water fountains for refilling water bottles are awesome. I am now back on a CPF, and forgot how some of the little things on an AOPV made a big difference. That said, the big things, like smaller cabins, make a bigger difference.

Do you mean to suggest that the shiny brochures aren't presenting the full picture?

I think the key issue to drill down into is this; Did the toque get placed on the body before or after the gloves? If we had known that, maybe we would have made different choices. Agreed, but my argument wasn't about livelihoods, it was about protecting certain industries determined...

Fair, but is mining a good analog for training? Hard use means a lot of things, and their hard use might not really align with what we need. Electronics are the future, and aren't going away. Just because Tpr Blogins doesn't pay the fuel bill doesn't mean someone, somewhere, isn't. What made...

Do you really mean "Do you have an empirical peer reviewed study to back-up your opinion I disagree with?" If so, no... But I'm sure you have one to back-up your opinion that also covers food sovereignty, and particularities of the Canadian market with a special focus on Atlantic Canada...

I'm guessing there are more internal trade barriers there than people imagine as well... As it turns out, people don't like being overly dependant on "others" who are far away and don't necessarily share the same interests. Edit: Given the relatively recent proliferation of refrigeration...

Part of the problem is the same problem faced by Canada when dealing with America. If we dropped all trade barriers, Quebec and Ontario would dominate Atlantic Canada, and likely a fair portion of the rest of the country. Eg. Just like Canadians don't want their all food to come from America...

The Met Tech DP1 is about five and a half months long, so the next serial will start in January. Between basic and the start of your occupation training you may be sent to Winnipeg, or to the closest base to your joining location, depending on your personal circumstances. I.e. married, children...

Your COTS solution would be a vehicle not sold on the continent? Hardly seems like a great COTS option... Particularly when contrasted against the ISV, based on a vehicle sold in the 10s of thousands every year in North America. Simple to maintain isn't really simple when the parts are all...

Making sense and quoting Corb Lund, she'd get my vote if I lived there.

No rain in the forecast for Victoria, so you're likely safe. Anyone with DWAN access can get the RCN dress manual from the RCN homepage. If it's specified anywhere, that's where it will be.

I wasn't happy when he won. I wasn't happy when he politicked to gain a majority. That said, I am glad that he seems to be doing the right thing, for the right reasons as PM. PMMC might manage to make me a LPC supporter, if he can bring the whole party around to his way of seeing/doing things.

The country to our south is more involved with China, and is even more fractured along political lines, with environmental regulation between states far more divergent than Canada's policies vs. America's national ones. I'm also pretty sure that attacking people is the worst way to get them to...

I just found a brewery in Victoria that actually "gets" the late 70's/80's. It's a pretty magical trip down memory lane.
