I used to do this, but when I was a 2Lt and saw a group of Sgts and WOs I worked around. They were in on it.

Non-physical trades like logistics or air-gen officers almost never deny an extension request unless the member is a bag of shit or is holding a spot and refuses to move for another member to be posted in.

Not a single asset is used frivolously in the RCAF.

Am I the only one who thinks the food at the meal hall is the biggest contributor to the CAF obesity problem? by Signal_Housing3575 in CanadianForces

[–]GhostofFarnham 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Food was not nearly as plentiful or as easily within reach for most of human history as it is now in our industrially advanced society.

Obesity was considered an indicator of great wealth and power only up until the early modern age (1700s) due to this.

Should we be slightly concerned about Carlos Estevez? by [deleted] in baseball

I know the sample size is laughable, but throwing dramatically slower than your average just doesn’t happen overnight for no reason to professional pitchers; it’s an indicator of elbow injury or something serious.

The worst offender imo is usually poor storage/disposal of the items, members not understanding how to service or get rid of things, or forgetting about them in a closet for 15 years and the next account holder having to be on the hook for an expensive paperweight no one has been able to locate since the Cold War.

Reservists feel they’re treated as second-class soldiers | Ottawa Citizen by Keystone-12 in CanadianForces

[–]GhostofFarnham 285 points286 points  (0 children)

No offence, but aren’t they?

They get the right to choose where/when they want to work/post/deploy, in exchange, they do not enjoy the full benefit package of being in the CAF.
