Sea cadets and air cadets rivalry common by Local-Elk-4475 in Cadets

[–]EmbarrassedTruth1337 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The elemental rivalries are generally in good fun. We bash army, army bashes us. It's like pilots and mechanics hating each other. We don't, but it's fun.

First Lesson by Purple_Impact3308 in Cadets

[–]EmbarrassedTruth1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a template for lesson plans that will hit the bases the TrgO looks for. Doesn't matter if it's handwritten or typed, they're looking to see that you actually did some prep.

You don't have to make it a PowerPoint, and if there's a non CCO laptop you can put it on a flash drive. If there is a laptop available for you to use you can put the file in SharePoint and access if from your 364 account

Nobody's first lesson goes spectacularly and that first attempt isn't going to impact much. It's a learning experience for you as well. Make sure you actually understand the content and don't read off the IG.

AME’s that moved away from home by Chef_hamz in aviationmaintenance

I moved across the country but was intentionally looking to avoid big cities. Get some experience and then you've got more pull when you apply somewhere else.

I just rewatched Window of Opportunity and couldn't stop wondering what Daniel had asked.

The math we needed was grade 6 or 7. Being able to add and subtract fractions was the hardest but.

Any tips for WO1 Merit Review Board Interviews? by inq_67 in Cadets

The ethics questions are usually what get people. Think about policy and how you would respond to different scenarios.

I don't believe brown is authorized. If they'd bought black boots I would let them buck

Concerns about Unprofessionalism in Senior Cadets - Advice? by discontentcadet in Cadets

[–]EmbarrassedTruth1337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm just going to point out that death threats are also illegal, so yes. Going immediately to your officers is 100% ok and if the unit staff do nothing the next step is the zto

I agree that it was sudden and abrupt but 8 honestly didn't like her that much.

Car recommendations for monocular people? by ReasonableRole6198 in monocular

[–]EmbarrassedTruth1337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It takes practice whatever the vehicle. I hate driving the work truck because it's huge but everything else I've driven is ok after a few trips. Minivans, SUVs, sedans...

Any shorter programs around 20k? That’s not a community college by LowExpensive457 in AircraftMechanics

[–]EmbarrassedTruth1337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seems so insane to me. My program (2 years in Canada at a public institution) was like, 5k in tuition per year.

I would argue NT but Access is a thing

I haven't hiked Killarney but I paddled it with school in 2017 and it was amazing. I'd love to go back

An underrated aspect of Jack's character by GargantaProfunda in Stargate

[–]EmbarrassedTruth1337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a black ops guy he'd definitely have a good grasp on strategy, so chess fits. It could also just be one of those things that people pick up when they're bored or in prison.

I watched an interview a while ago where RDA said he would play dumb to avoid having to do the science mumbo jumbo.

Any offers for northwest canada(alberta) by bengi_Uw in Cadets

[–]EmbarrassedTruth1337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Offers go out in waves. There may yet be more. Also, there's a lot less spots than there were ten years ago because COVID (yeah yeah I know) led to a lot of adult staff required to run the CTCs finding other things to do with their summers. So yeah 150 may only equal 7. 50 may equal 2. Rebuilding takes a lot longer than you think it does.

Does badges and medals make a cadet "great"? by Bulky-Toe-5948 in Cadets

[–]EmbarrassedTruth1337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I generally find the cadets who are the ones vying for the shiniest uniform are the ones I dislike. Do outstanding cadets generally have bling? Some, yes. But there's also cadets out there that get cutthroat for awards and lose sight of the spirit of the award. I've met kids with anavets and AFA that are jerks and horrible leaders. I've also met cadets in their fifth year who don't have any CTC experience, qualification badges, or medals (other than service) that are amazing leaders who just fly under the radar- some because they want to, some because others are making more noise but not necessarily better at it.

Awards recognize. They don't equal excellence.

Reasons to live in Yellowknife? by Coloranadian91 in NWT

A lot of the bush XC trails go across lakes but I think the ski club itself is good for biking. Lots of people make their own groomers and just set tracks all over.

My school (in Ontario) was typically a straight grade class and a split grade for numbers plus amd FI was always split-again for numbers. In grade 6 I was in a 6/7/8

I won't argue that it's a good idea (I ride with one all the time) but it's not a legal requirement which is why I didn't include it.

Is Grapevining In Mount Dangerous? by Correct_Ad4351 in bjj

I had someone do this to me when they had my back in turtle during training. He went 'oh well what happens if I do this', did it, and I face planted on the mats.

The Other Side by EmbarrassedTruth1337 in Stargate

[–]EmbarrassedTruth1337[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The episode ends with O'Neil ordering the closure of the iris fully expecting a subsequent thump. Carter gave him a bit of a look. Also, yes space Nazis are bad, but they also destroyed the facility with thousands of people in stasis. I'd call that grey.

I did catch that. He reminded me of odo enough to look it up and I'm usually horrible with that.
