    NHL playoffs 2025!

    They have not been aware there are 3 periods for most of the last decade +. I went to bed when the Kings were up 3-1 and said I will wake up to 4-3 OT Oilers win. The power of thought and now as tradition I need to do the same for the rest of the playoffs

    CAN Enhanced (Permanent?) Fwd Presence in Latvia

    I'll dive deeper next week, but found some documents indicating that the initial training was going to take place in Spring 2024 in Gagetown and then sent to Latvia. I found other correspondence from the DGLEPM Tech LO team from Jan/Feb 2025 indicating that it had arrived in theater recently...

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    We are pretty resource constrained and the LIMFAC besides people would be clothing/equipment. They are concentrating BMQs to a few locations so they can have all the resources in one place rather than spread out. We also want to be careful that we don't replicate the late 2000s and early 2010s...

    C5 respirator (gas mask)

    We have since received them back from the vendor. The order I reference acknowledges that issue was signed in June 2024 long after the seal issue. That said it looks like that distribution didn't happen and when I look there is another more draft order with however the dates haven't changed so...

    NHL playoffs 2025!

    Beating LA is like getting a +1 sword in a RPG/MMO nowadays, just a common occurrence. That said if there is no goal tending then they be done, series are won by such slim margins in the NHL Every once in awhile you have to let the underdogs win so the masses stay placated.

    NHL playoffs 2025!

    Imagine a Toronto vs Edmonton SCF. That is if Toronto can get past it's worst playoff enemy, the dreaded 1st round (2023 being too small of a sample size)

    C5 respirator (gas mask)

    The started fielding them last Spring and should be complete. Unless I am misreading the order, looks like for the CA the RegF CMBG units will hold theirs individually while for the PRes it seems that each Div TC will create a pool of stock for units not holding individually to draw on for...

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    I mean if they can do NETP/BMQ-L/Hotelcheckin(kidding) without any infra or other resources then sure. If not teach 'em met stuff and let the environment(s) take care of their business

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    Sure but why? They should leave the Met school ready to do their Met job and the environment gets them ready to work in the environment (can happen before/after trades trg). In smaller trades, they may have to take more than one environmental course over thier careers. That already occurs so...

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    Meh, the trade schooling can remain the same. All that changes is that you stay working in one environment and/or move to truly purple roles throughout your career. The RCAF /RCN would have no issues as they do their environmental courses internal to them. It is only the CA that decided that...

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    I can't wait for us to try and use the system 10-20 years down the roads and have to spend millions to refurb all the seals, gaskets and other mechanical parts that need regular preventative/routine maint. It is crazy how much space they occupy at our depots for such a useless system

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    That is how contractual obligations work. Generally for CA fleets we buy many parts at once in larger quantities, usually only having them delivered to 3rd line facilities ( depots or coastal BLogs) to allow for distribution across the CAF and to maintain quality control/technical inspections...

    Canada's tanks

    Just so I make it clear, I am on a very far rung on the tank support file currently. I recently assisted the LEO EMT with some orders for the NISKU Regional Maintenance Center (RMC) facility but I don't work in/around the tanks day to day. When I was in Edmonton myself and a number of key...

    Canada's tanks

    No worries, it is just a high level over view. As much as it pains me to admit our DGLEPM/RCEME folks are great at their jobs even if they at daily/ individual level they can be frustrating. For the RCN, it makes sense that it's more tightly controlled considering it's reducing a system on...

    Canada's tanks

    Meh, parts reclamation is cannibalization (para 19 of the ref) and typically done at 3rd/4th line typically (para 30) to bring parts back into service. If you go pick a part from the parked Gwagons to get other vehs running at 1st/2nd line that is cannibalization. In any case it is mere nuance...

    Canada's tanks

    In the Army for Land Maintenance the concepts are called robbing & cannibalization. There is an entire manual for any nerds out there POLICY/MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES ROBBING, CANNIBALIZATION AND DENIAL OF EQUIPMENT C-04-005-001/AG-B04 Robbing is removing a part to get another...

    Canada's tanks

    I've been involved with the tank fleet for years, primarily in a tertiary support role. Parts have always been a challenge, but I haven't seen the issue quantified in some time. Since my RCEME colleagues often attribute problems to missing parts—when the real bottleneck might be a lack of...
