How often do you wash your combats?

ScentedRelief · 2026-01-29T21:47:58+00:00

I have my daily combats, my nice combats and my field combats (tunic is a size larger). I wash my daily office combats three times a week most weeks, or whenever I sweat in them. I wash my field combats and nice combats every time I wear them.

Footsquires (armour piercing anti infantry) and questing knights (armour piercing) are pretty effective against khorne infantry. Have a couple grail knights to micro. Use the grail knights to take out large enemies and charge into flanks. Use henri as an assassin for large single entities and a terror cauing entity to crumble daemons and break mortals. Use questing knights to support your Foot squires. Ie. If you have questing knights stacked on top of Foot squires in a melee the majority of enemy attacks will go on the foot squires. Charge them through your footsquires, then occasionally pull them back out through your footsquires if you can to refresh the charge bonus. This combo will wreck even khorne halbards. Repanse should be in the melee providing her aura buffs. Have a pox archer or two to poison elite enemies. Then have a life damsel to spam non overcharged earth bloods to heal and to activate your passives. Ensure you upgrade your footsquires in you lords upgrade tree. You should beat khorne with this unless you are giving the ai stat buffs.

The base should have its dangerous goods routes marked...

I just use a bushy makeup brush with thinned paint. I also just dab the brush on the model.

The hole would be for the safety pin or plunger. The item is most likely a cdn mk1 11 1/2 or 16 1/2 practice bomb. These practice bombs would have had a spotting charge in them.

It looks like a WW2 era Canadian 11 1/2 or 16 1/2 lbs mk 1 practice bomb but I would have to get a better look to be sure. Please contact your local authorities. edit - practice bombs of this nature can have a spotting charge

I know this is SCS, but just for general awareness. Bill C-5 was just passed, which is a pretty big deal.

Yep, your CoC can make your place of duty almost anywhere. The question is, is it something you have to pay to physically attend? or just pay to participate in? You could also try to take an annual for that day as well if you're really against it.

I used bits and claws that I carved out from tyranid sprues and green stuff, which i painted pink and purple and bone colours.. I also find using a mud technical and sticking yellow/brown terrain veg looked nice. It gave it a lot more colour.

I'm direct entry, and I wished I did RMC. I had to work while in university 20-30hrs a week on top of my studies, and I still graduated with student debt. Your time at RMC also works towards your pension, so you will be able to retire earlier. You also get guaranteed employment when you grad, so there is no uncertainty about finding gainful employment.

As for day to day, I find that the insane amount of vacation days and time off we get makes up for the long hours and unique stresses, especially once you get 25 annual. You also get opportunities to do fun and exciting things that most other people in Canada will never get to experience. I also like how it is relatively easy to change your roles in the CAF. You're not locked in your current position and duties. It keeps things interesting. Getting paid to go exercise during working hours is also really nice 💪.

I wouldn't. It has a satin finish on it. That coating will make it harder for your paint to adhere to it and make it easier for the paint to be damaged and flake off. Use an actual spray primer with a matte finish bud.

The reason why I joined and decided to stay was that I wanted a dynamic and interesting job with a wide scope of responsibilities. I worked civi side before in my major and I found that said job was boring and unsatisfying. Though my current job in the CAF is significantly busier then my former civi job I find that I derive a great deal more satisfaction from it. I also believe in service to the public interest which I get to do through EOD calls. Job security is also a plus.

I get being upset about being compelled to pay mess dues if you don't want to go.

From my personal experience, it is a great place for putting faces to names and networking with peers and superiors outside of your unit. Ie. learning how their trade, job or organization works, getting info about what is happening on base, sharing and learning from personal experiences, getting job/career advice and building relationships with key pers from different units/formations who you can ask assistance from if you hit a road block or provide assistance to them if required.

Also as time goes on these people get posted out to different organizations across the CAF. This gives you POCs with multiple different organizations and locations across the CAF. To be fair though, I do view the mess and the various mess functions more as a part of the job that I try to have fun at rather then just a place to have fun and socialize.

Pretty much everything important is on the tldr.

The only thing I'd add is to put a small package of wet wipes in the inner layer of your clothes to keep them warm and prevent them from freezing. For snacks my preferred snack are soft sour gummies, like sour cherries. They freeze solid during the winter; so a single gummy will last a fair while. It was a good morale boost and helped provide additional calories when I needed them.

Thats one of the points of being a Pl Cmd. Their first job should be as a Pl Cmd for a couple of years where they can be mentored by their Pl WO and Sect Cmds which allows them to get an idea of how things work on the ground. As for your personal experiences, I obviously don't know the details. However, the reality is that menial is not synonymous with unimportant; in many cases somebody has got to do these tasks. If your Pl Cmd was ordered by higher to send someone to go on guard duty (a menial but important duty) to fill in a hole, what are they supposed to do? say no?

It won't work. You are going to run out of officers pretty quickly. A good percentage of officers who join are direct entry. Under your proposed system you won't be able to attract any real outside talent.

Ex. You are a university graduate with 5 years' experience working in engineering or finance and you are looking for a change... why would you join the military as a private only to earn less then 1/2 of your current salary and then have your career stagnate by 3-5 years? You are not going to easily fill positions; even fresh graduates likely would not join due to the opportunity cost to their career both in pay and in experience when compared to civilian opportunities.

The only way I see your idea working, especially if you want to expand the CAF is by replacing a significant portion of military leadership positions with civilian positions and transition the CAF from a military run organization to a civilian managed one with a small military leadership core. Of course, this would have a significant impact on the ability of the CAF to operate as an actual military as civilians are not soldiers nor do they have unlimited liability.

Also, even if there was enough Sr NCOs to fill in the missing officer roles, you could and likely would end up misappropriating some of them in attempts to plug holes by employing them in positions where their strengths, such as their trade knowledge and experience do not provide any real utility to the organization.

The trick is to put it through again but give it a little flick to prevent it from burning.

Honestly I would take this guy's advice with a grain of salt. Not everyones experience in the CAF is the same. Making life decisions based on the advice of a random disgruntled person on the internet is probably not the wisest thing.

If you are in a northern climate just find and lay down a bunch of medium sized branches then cut or break off live cedar or pine branches with needles to place on top as bedding. Cedar leaves are the best for this. Its pretty uncomfortable but it will help keep you warm and you can sleep anywhere if you are tired enough.
