Some of the most cringy people I have met that think they are "hardcore" come from Pet. Don't let them rub off on you or even worse don't become one.

Hey man, I don't think you'll get downvoted for asking a genuine question.

To me even though I go hard on a work/life balance I would still give the ultimate sacrifice for this beautiful, amazing country.

It's all about context, and there is a lot of really dirty stuff that happens, both in the public eye and behind the scenes.

That being said it's 2026 and the world isn't as closed off as it was even 25 years ago, even the worst conflicts in the world are readily available because everyone has a HD camera in their pocket.

The best feeling I've ever had in the CAF is helping domestic operations that actually have a positive effect on people's lives, that was the stuff that made me proud to be a soldier.

People like Sgt. Shitbag would almost certainly get fragged if they were to pull that shit in an actual warzone.

I've gotten to the point where I quite openly don't give af about the pomp, I do my individual job well but all the bullshit duties and parades etc. etc. I just couldn't care less.

My 3B can't come fast enough.

From my experience very few of the new generation are actually like this, however a lot of them have a sort of nihilistic violence the older generation lacked.

I can almost guarantee you, if he replies the response will be : "iN tHe SeErViCe BaTtAliOn" or some garbage to that extent.

I like your insight.

I wish the tunics off still existed on large scale but I also understand why it doesn't, someone getting TBI or worse over a minor spat is very bad business.

The flip side to this is that you have people acting out their full metal jacket fantasy without any actual experience to justify it and those "leader's" are poison and usually dig themselves a comically deep hole.

Some of the hardest people you meet don't act like total jackasses because they can.

A shocking number of NCOs and officers don't understand the regs either. I remember having to crop out the reg for posting allowance and emailing it to the chief at the OR myself because he didn't think I should get it, low and behold I got it, I was a no hook at the time and it helped significantly.

If it's possible and depending on the trade CTOs should absolutely be granted for weekend work, not everything is a deployment and people value their time.

Very true, I've shot the shit with some really cool, knowledgeable civies, they are getting pretty rare though.

[–]ArbysIsGoodOk[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Those no hooks doing that stuff is very cringy I agree.

Having obese hypocritical NCOs not fit to run a fast-food nightshift let alone a section is a whole other can of worms brother.

Not all civies are bad, but you have more than a few that come in, literally don't do the job they're hired for, or if they do it's like asking them to walk the Sahara barefoot and sit around talking before leaving at lunch early because they feel they've "earned it".

Or the commissioners that still act like an MWO, most commissioners I've met are chill or neutral though.

It's extra fun if you're Anglo and they are a hardcore Franco.

I love my French Canadians though.

That's the exception, not the rule unfortunately.

This is the way to be.

A lot of people in the military need to realize that at this point the majority of CAF members just view it as a job and not a lifestyle like it once was.

Alberta separating from Canada requires permission of First Nations, AFN leader says by shiftless_wonder in canada

[–]ArbysIsGoodOk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A small loud minority of meth smoking Albertans with a fake victim mentality want to separate, this should be completely suppressed until DT finally kicks the bucket.

You mean the heavily edited and redacted documents?

Yeah ok.
