This thread is the stability I need more of in my life.
Click. Clack.This thread is the stability I need more of in my life.
I know what you mean, some things, like the Canadian Army's refusal to structure itself for war rather than for the benefit of honorary colonels, are meant to last forever.This thread is the stability I need more of in my life.
Runway is still there. No idea if it’s flyable but it’s not ripped up.
The buildings at the end of the runway have rendered it unusable.
Given the buildings, isn't that a safety risk?It was used last spring - C-130 landed on it.
Google Earth tells me the longer one still has 9,000 open feet of runway with Buildings at the North west end so a Herc could have some fun.Given the buildings, isn't that a safety risk?

You'd be stupid not to be the class B reservist if you wanted to be a full time soldier without the bullshit. You get to be a full time soldier at the regiment of your choosing, in the position of your choosing, in the city and province of your choosing that will have infinitely more amenities and personal support structures for your family and yourself than CFB Shitsticks in rural Newfoundland and at the cost of getting tasked to the associated corps school for a couple months a year (or not at all) and 4.whatever less pay.

No brainer for the guys looking to game the system if that's what you want, to soldier full time. Perhaps the RegF needs to be made less of a shit-go if they want to avoid situations like this, as FJAG suggested.
Currently I'm a "true reservist" working my class a days and weekends along with a couple LWOPs a summer for some unit and brigade training but I was a Class B commando for a while, it was fucking dope. Between a great workplace culture and fun work, I loved being a Class B Army guy. I fault no one for going that route and probably still would be if I didn't have a civvy opportunity to make a shit ton more cash.
Tomato tomato. There was a 50/50 split of opinion on it with the Regs I would work with. Some were on one side of your question, some on others. All I know is more and more Regs seem to be catching on, CTing to the MO in their home towns and working Class B jobs. Their lives seem to improve drastically.Gaming the system? Or negotiating the better contract?
It's also a lot faster. I've seen the CT process take up to two years for some people. A lot of times they will have moved on with their lives and not be interested when the offer finally comes. I remember one individual some years ago being told that the RCR only accepted 20 reserve CT's a year. I'm not sure if he was being lied to or not.Tomato tomato.

I recall watching a Herc at an airshow basically screeching to halt in a very short distance, then turning and taking off in a short distance. It sure weren't 9000 feet.Google Earth tells me the longer one still has 9,000 open feet of runway with Buildings at the North west end so a Herc could have some fun.

Anyone know what the minimums are?
