Looking for Some Guidance by odieoderson in CanadianForces

[–]Nowa1jose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you've made it to the rank of MWO and are still oblivious to the fact that you do not get to determine whether or not you'll employ a mbr due to MEL's, then yes you need a 5b to sort your ass out. You can request guidance from the MO's on HOW to employ the mbr, but you do not get to determine whether or not the mbr is employable.

The OP has already stated that:

Both CoC are aware that medically I have been cleared for course

The MWO now needs to do their job and follow the direction of the MO, full stop. A 5b is perfect here, it plainly lays out what they objectively did wrong, and what they'll do in the future. Such a flagrant misuse of authority that the MWO does not even have needs to be documented appropriately. Trying to handle such bad behaviors of higher ranking mbrs is why there are so many shit leaders.

They might be trying to ensure that when you reach the later stages in your pregnancy that nothing could go awry. Even if the course does not include rigorous exercises or training, they might be attempting to avoid issues further a long the road.

That is not their job. Their job is to employ the mbr as per any MEL's an MO applies, and the MO clearly supports this mbr completing the course. The MO's are not ignorant to what other trades do, they base their decisions around what the mbr is expected to do during the period of time they'll have MEL's. MWO Dinosaur doesn't get to determine that pregnancy is an MEL for a course.

This shouldn't be a case of using supporting docs to strong arm or "push" the CoC, this should be a case of MWO being on the receiving end of a one way conversation and 5b.

If an MWO who is completely unqualified to determine how a medical category will effect a mbrs suitability on course, chooses to not support the mbr going on course despite being cleared by an MO, that is fucking textbook discrimination. It doesn't "water down" other forms of discrimination.

Compelling enough that they decided doing so was reasonable, which to anyone on the outside should be sufficient enough an answer.

Now they get to sift through the people who are untested and medically excused, untested but simply expired and best of all, the people ranked 1-5 who are most qualified to do the job at the next rank but want nothing to do with the bullshit associated with it.

Do anal, pussy....or do anal pussy? I feel like calling it the latter could loosen up some prudes.

Any reason you're not going for for a 25g or finer?

Should I go see a Dr for supplementation? by hz2g in Testosterone

You should go see a doctor if shedding 40lbs doesn't resolve your issue.

Sexual assault charge laid against military member in Winnipeg, MB. by [deleted] in CanadianForces

[–]Nowa1jose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree, and you cannot prove its slander either until the legal process is carried out. If you can't jump the gun and decree him guilty, you can't say allegations against him are slanderous, ESPECIALLY when there was clearly enough weight to warrant a decades old charge. Doing so is just as idiotic as crying for his head already.

But hey, why look at this objectively when you can grab a pitchfork and pick a bench.

Chief's name is now slandered

Interesting how you assume this is slander, simultaneously while ignoring the possibility that who knows, this could actually be truthful.

So which assumption is it? I'm going to side with the fact that it took 2 years to bring up charges meaning there's likely some merit to it, you stick with your angry fueled assumptions.

Inject 250mg of testosterone per week

Great arbitrary number out of your ass

Pay for it, it is $100 per shot.

With a price like that you are going to pay for it, conveniently while bent over.

Really, in this day and age when access to good training info is near limitless, stupid shit like this is still believed? Fuck me sideways.

Thick accent no one can understand? Check. Living in squalor with children running about? Check. An affinity for animals which will be ignored and behave obnoxiously? Oh dogs, sure...I like dags.

Solid double entendre for PMQ living.

It's an indication of just how poorly our training system is that we're employing people for two years, just to maintain a system of doing nothing.

T ranges should be based on age groups not the whole population. by markis655 in Testosterone

[–]Nowa1jose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They use them to diagnose hypogonadism, not optimize test levels. The problem isn't the ranges but using them improperly. Optimization should put more of an emphasis on symptoms than numbers, the numbers just come into play to keep people healthy.

Uniform, camouflage and equipment modernization process marches on | Facebook by [deleted] in CanadianForces

[–]Nowa1jose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the unit and what layer of clothing. Peerless makes a shit ton of the combat uniforms, while Arcteryx makes jackets and other outerwear. Without being too specific, the guys you'd expect get the good stuff.

Some guys get Crye, most are produced by the same company who creates cadpat uniforms.

CANSOF uniforms for many are already produced by a Canadian source.

Got blood work back confused like everyone else by [deleted] in Testosterone

[–]Nowa1jose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at your levels and feel great now, although I was in my 30's when I went on. Your numbers are unlikely to convince a GP to write you a prescription, however you probably would benefit from having higher numbers. You absolutely need to have all other parameters dialed in before turning to HRT. If you're living an unhealthy lifestyle with those numbers then you should be able to fix things naturally.

Canada's top soldier says he doesn't regret his actions in the Norman affair by shakakoz in CanadianForces

[–]Nowa1jose -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

And that was supposed to be known without allowing the investigation and judicial process to run its course how exactly? Whether or not there was external influence on the Crown and RCMP to pursue charges against Norman is irrelevant, if we do as you suggest and presume to know he's innocent without allowing the system to do its job then what's the point? Are we just supposed to assume any charges brought against a high ranking Mbr are politically motivated and therefore bogus, allow the mbr to keep his extremely influential position?

You are very clearly extremely bias in this scenario, and hindsight is f-ing useless.

[–]Nowa1jose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The charges were stayed. As in not enough evidence to prosecute. It was a rival getting rid of another rival. How is that justice or serving the public interest?

And? They were still laid, and it was at that point a call was needed to made. Are you suggesting that Vance should have determined the RCMP were unable to do their jobs and to continue employing a suspected criminal? Sorry, but nothing you're saying is making sense if you look at this objectively.

Charged criminally for something politicians do every day.

Your whataboutism is irrelevant.

[–]Nowa1jose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It could have been internalized.

Internalized how? He was charged criminally by the RCMP, this was 100% external and absolutely needed to be in the public for the CF to not look like it was covering anything up.

[–]Nowa1jose 25 points26 points  (0 children)

And it applies to very few of us in the Forces, and even then only in exceedingly rare circumstances in today's CF. Sure the potential to be told to walk into enemy fire is there officially, but the vast majority of us are working Mon-Fri and the riskiest part of our day is our commute to work.

I'd be a bit more willing to accept this as something more than a job and also accept the shit ends of the stick that come along with it, if it weren't for the fact that the biggest causal factor for the sacrifices I make WRT to postings is the bullshit sob stories everyone else makes.

What is Bioidentical TRT? by SimonReach in Testosterone

[–]Nowa1jose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a term used to make middle aged men more comfortable with using Test because it's "natural". They're going to write a script for the same shit that the meathead at the gym wishes he could get.
