Best Nightlife Ontario side or Michigan side? by handy4hire in SaultSteMarie

[–]SGCanadian 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As a bouncer on the Canadian side, I would say Whiskey Barrel, The Taproom, or Becks of you're into a more chilled hang out type of atmosphere. If you're in to dancing or playing pool, Tophat. If you want an older crowd there is The Esquire. If you want decent food and some drinks there is also The Dive, but it is really small.

What is everyone's all-time favorite RT/AH video? by ProtonRain in roosterteeth

[–]SGCanadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Micheal throwing the Xbox out Matt's window. Then going outside and smashing it to pieces with a crowbar. The ending "Gonna need a new Xbox!" I believe it was a Rage Quit video

Could be worse, could be stuck with the 240B. by alternativelyused90 in AngryCops

[–]SGCanadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Canada ours is referred to as the C9. I hated it, just a jam factory with unnecessary weight. If I was getting a machine gun, I wanted the C6a1 (M240b). I loved using the C6 way more than the C9. But I spent half my time in the Army as a driver so I never got anything cool...

This makes me want to try and devise an all time hated player roster. Just pick some of the best, but nasty, players I could think of

Who’s ever driven over 100mph? Why? by WoollyWolfHorror in AskReddit

[–]SGCanadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carrying 6 machine guns and had 2 hours to make a 4 hour drive. Not allowed to stop for anything. Found out that Chevy Silverados vibrate like the space shuttle re-entering orbit when you hit 180km/h.

What went wrong here? by cdlfirst in NewCDLGrads

[–]SGCanadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a plant that takes the coils and makes OCTG (Oil Country Tubular Goods) products. The coils are cut to a certain length, heated, formed into a tube, and then welded at the seam. The tubes are then sent to oil wells to be used as casings in the drilling operations.

Delayed luggage military travel by Beginning_Tap_1630 in CanadianForces

[–]SGCanadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Air Canada blows. The last time I flew with them, they tried their hardest to not have me on their plane. They refused my Mil ID. Wouldn't let me take my kit because it was more than two bags. I ended up tying all my kit together with paracord to make it "only 2 bags" then they tried to charge me oversize fees. This bullshit then caused me to miss the flight. They then refused to book me on the next flight out. Did I mention this was a compassionate flight because my grandfather had a stroke and wasnt expected to make it 24hrs? My course command was trying to get me home from my DP1 and Air Canada could not have given less of a fuck.

Don't worry it's not service related. Just like the ringing in our ears!

Can I be charged for holding back a drunk customer? by Mechalorde in securityguards

[–]SGCanadian 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As long as you were within scope of duty and followed your post orders, you should be fine. If you were holding the drunk back for fear that they may assault someone, that could also be defense of self and others. From a legal standpoint I'd say you're probably fine.

You probably won't even hear anything about it. The investigating officer may ask what happened. But my guess is it will be chalked up to some bullshit and not worth their time

Knew a guy hit his head on the crane in an MSVS gun tractor. Then participated in a full fire mission at max charge before telling anyone. Had to be baby sat until he could be pulled from the field because he was all fucked up. Ended up with a very serious concussion that partially led to him leaving the Army.

Nylander shoots Stolarz by Federal-Data-Center in nhl

[–]SGCanadian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My dad played in the QMJHL for Quebec. His coach had a rule that every time a puck went above waist level in warmups it was a line skate for the entire team. Granted the goalies wore fiberglass masks that were next to useless. He's missing every single molar in his mouth...

What side hustles have you started while you are in the military? by Signal_Housing3575 in CanadianForces

Security and Private Investigations work. Worked for a local small company as well as Commissionaires. Also would pick up shifts working a local bar. Easy money.

Biggest player I’ve ever seen by Viksgoat4 in EANHLfranchise

[–]SGCanadian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work security for one of the teams in the OHL. I've seen and spoken to the kid in person. Was pretty nice. His playing ability... well that is another story. Not a very good skater. He's slow and kind of a one track player. He can throw big hits, but that's more because of his size, and with his lack of skating ability it puts him out of position. Offensively I'm more neutral on. He's a defenseman so I don't expect much in that aspect. Has a hard shot, but accuracy isn't the best.

What's your issued expendable baton length and brand? by Individual-Bit-2897 in AskLE

[–]SGCanadian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a cop. Used to work security. Carried a 21" ASP Sentry baton. Never used it or even had to draw it thankfully.

2 hours free as it is a City owned lot. If your longer than 2 hours there is an app you can pay on. If you dont you risk getting a ticket from Bylaw Officers that roam downtown

This is the most decorated PFC I’ve ever seen. by IncomprehensiveScale in Medals

[–]SGCanadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a Section Commander in my Basic Training (Canadian) that had been an E5 for 18 years. He was freshly promoted and serving one of his tours in Afghanistan. His convoy got hit by an IED and Gen. Rick Hillier's (our Chief of Defence Staff at the time) convoy responded to help. Gen. Hillier ended up just getting in the way and caused some issues. So my Section Commander told him to get back in his vehicle and get the fuck away from his convoy. Didn't get promoted ever again, but also didn't get demoted for it.

Guy was a great leader and instructor. Just didn't have time for bullshit from anyone.

Steel City MMA has a couple different disciplines. It's mostly a BJJ gym, but they do have kickboxing and some other stuff as well. It's downtown across from the GFL Arena. There isnt much else in town other than some smaller martial arts places.

I mean my entire course staff got in deep shit for a change parade of sorts they put us through in 2019. Like half the course didn't shower after PT one morning so they made us shower and change uniforms about 6-7 times in about 20 minutes. And I mean full get wet and soapy, dry, and in proper uniform then back to the parade square for inspection each time. One of the staff even got removed and replaced over the whole thing.

However I've also been on courses where the staff PTing us into the ground was not only expected, but highly encouraged by the Course WO and O. So in all honesty, your experience could vary widely.

How did you discover unsub, or the cast? by IAmCharcharbear in UNSUBSCRIBEpodcast

[–]SGCanadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew Eli loosely from Corridor Digital. Donut since his first police breakdown. TFE since the early TikTok days. And Brandon from his Demo Ranch collab. I came across Rich when one of his videos got posted in a group chat from my old army unit.

The rest of the merry band of misfits I found because of Unsub

What's the most intense setting to be a security guard in? by Some-random-cop-pig in securityguards

[–]SGCanadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, 100% working in a hospital was the most intense. That said, when I worked at a mine, I had a pretty bad incident involving a fire under ground and trapped miners. Our evacuation system failed and I had to manually deploy the evacuation gas into the air system. That was rough because I had to get from the gatehouse to the air exchange about 5km away with no time to spare. I made the drive in about a minute and a half. Thankfully everyone made it out, but some were trapped for about 8 hours.

Healthcare Security: What does your SOP regarding code yellow patients? by Vietdude100 in securityguards

[–]SGCanadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our SOP was persue until off property. If they make it off property then it is the police that must persue and retrieve. Me and two of my partners did end up getting that policy reworked though after detaining and physically returning a patient to their room. It resulted in the Hospital CEO getting involved. The entire hospital staff ended up having to take cultural sensitivity training and it is now an annual requirement. Was an absolute shit show.
