Not being able to afford god**** ammo (at ALL) for a brigade sized CRE.

Whiny pogues who have forced SHARP down our throats because their feelings get hurt when someone laughs at them for being 50 lbs. overwieght and useless.
 
What does SHARP stand for and what is it about please?
 
SHARP stands for Sexual Harrasment and Racism Prevention; its a couple of hours of classroom instruction reminding all ranks of their responsibilities to each other, their subordinates, their superiors, and the public at large. Some whiners don‘t like to be reminded that even if they are the greatest thing since sliced bread, they don‘t have the right to go around acting like it. ;)
 
Adds a whole new meaning to the "sharp end", now doesn‘t it...?
 
SHARP is more than a couple of hours. We spent 2 full days on it during BMQ (reserve) last year.

Having said that, there was a lot of good lessons in it that many have not been exposed to i.e. what is appropriate vs. inappropriate. No different than any corporate policies I have seen.
 
Want the short version?
1. Don‘t play graba$$ with anyone in the chain of command, up or down.

2. Don‘t tell the fat, idle, stupid, and useless that they are any of those things, as that might hurt their feelings, and cause them to go on camera with the CBC and cry their little eyes out.

3. Calling the chick who had a whole platoon pull a train on her a$$ a wh0re is unnacceptable, because that is not politically correct, and does not show the Forces as being an equal opportunity employer of all genders and sexual preferences.

4. THOU SHALT regard all members as equals, even when they are so numpy-****ed as to be a danger to your personal safety on a live-fire range.

So there you go. Real world application: keep your mouth shut and don‘t say anything that will send the weak, stupid, and whorish to embarrass the senior "leadership" on CBC. Do nothing to hoist the bullsh!t flag on all the failed social engineering projects the Liberals have implemented and the gutless DND/CF headshed have aided and abetted. Be a good soldier by sitting quitely by and letting the standards slide down the ****ter. And since you the soldier can‘t be trusted to not say anything "unaccaptable", defer all inquires about the CF from the press to the closest PAffO. Congratulations, you have been properly indoctrinated, oops, I mean SHARPend.
 
Just returned from two week‘s in Texas on exchange and those who had the new floppy were very happy to have the neck flap!
The Temp‘s were in the 40‘s and saved the back of thier neck‘s, were those of us not issued resorted to rag‘s and paper towel hanging from the back of our bush cap‘s to protect our neck‘s.
 
Going to Texes this winter.... better find mine and get it back on! :D
 
Spanky I don‘t think you have to worry in winter.
The temp‘s are any were form the low 60‘s to mid 70‘s in winter but cold in the morning and at night and some frost as the Texacan‘s told us.
As we were the first Canadaian‘s they had met for most of them and they asked us about Canada and thought we were lying when we told them about our wheather :) .
Had fun telling them we had to get back fast before the igloo melted :D

Also you will find the Texacan‘s very friendly and you‘ll have a great time if you get the chance.
Were you going in Texas?
 
Thanks for the info SprEarl. If all goes well, we should be in Ft.Hood next January.
 
How about something we can change.....
What about all the stupid people? :fifty:

As for all the kit complaints...
:crybaby:
Thats why we have a team of cbt arms Snr NCOs and officers doing thier best to get us stuff that works and makes sense, despite budget constraints....

You gotta admit its getting better.... :warstory:
 
I actually kinda like the dividers in the butt pack so when my foot powder and cam paint blows up from sitting on my *** all day, it doesn‘t get all over my SHINY-WHEN-WET rain suit when it starts raining like a cow p*ssing on a flat rock. :skull:
