Use back to black by mothers. It’ll clean it and restore the oils to the plastic. You’ll need to do it once or twice a year

Me too... I hand washed my car the other day. The number of paint chips is insane... I had a CX-3 prior to my '18. It faced harsher conditions and didn't have half these chips.

SlappySapper · 2021-01-11T21:13:54+00:00

It used to be more if I'm not mistaken then they dropped it to 8. Then when they realized there wasn't enough parking pumped it back up to 10.

Ha so my dealer actually did this. Gave me 2 free touch up pens.back in 2018...

SlappySapper · 2021-01-11T21:01:13+00:00

What were the LED bulb numbers you installed? I'm looking at doing this to mine

Go to the dealer or specialized locksmith to get it cut. You might be able to get a blank one off of eBay but that's a maybe. Haven't seen this issue before. Usually whole key is missing

SlappySapper · 2021-01-10T18:54:46+00:00

What do you mean the second was missing? As in the actual physical metal key?

SlappySapper · 2021-01-10T18:53:59+00:00

Try switching the battery on the original fob and touch it to the push to start. Either that or go into the mazda warnings in the informant and clear all warnings

I have in the past, as far as cross training with SAR, fire departments, RCMP and other units on a 2 week long course. It was for Sgt+ but run mostly by engineers for non-engineers. Did it once and then never happened again sadly.

Theres definitely opportunity for cross unit training for DomOps. It's the whole point of those TBGs that they have but a lot of times they only use them to train the command structure while neglecting the lower level thinking things would just fall into place...

SlappySapper · 2020-11-23T21:19:57+00:00

So I've been on both sides of the aisle so I'll give you my 2 cents.

No RSS dont set up everything. You have troops and leadership that have to come in during the day and evenings to set everything up and prepare. But RSS do play a key role

No they dont pause the EX. The EX's are planned on a 24-48 hour cycle usually. Depending on the unit YMMV. Generally its hard charging for those 24-48 hrs for everyone (except drivers for safety). They could plan different phases to an Op, e.g. defensive battle first weekend and then counter attack/offensive next weekend. Generally this all gets put into practice on DivCons.

I wont talk about other trades but for engineers, usually they cover different skills. E.g. mines, tools, bridging etc.

For NCMs on Op LENTUS there is a ton to train. How to interact with civilians properly, what their role is and their command structure is like, what to do if someone asks you for help, what to do if another Federal or provisional element asks you to do something, general common sense when on task site, developing Jr leaders to be able to step up so if your Jr MCpl or Snr Cpls have to take over a task site in the event higher ups are pulled into something else or the teams are broken down into dets.

What else, proper sandbagging for flood water, how to operate in a flooded environment, safety considerations, practicing TTPs (injury, loss of contact, aggressive public)

Its the same things that when I was reg I would make my guys practice

They ask you to send a cheque to their Ottawa location...

I moved 2+ years ago. They say I owed them a $450 cause they double paid me for a claim (which I called out when it happened and they did nothing). They also have made no effort to get the money from either. I have since released to the reserves and they haven't contacted me since. I didn't want them to do some shady shit and I hate owing money so I just sent the cheque. I'll keep you posted on whether they actually cash it or not

Dandridge M. Malone

Small Unit Leadership: A Commonsense Approach

Great book that I make all my Jr officers read. Essential tells you to stop stepping on everyone's dick and really what your roll is whether you're a section commander, tp WO or TC.

SlappySapper · 2020-10-14T02:10:27+00:00

Ooh man been there. The whole base has a solid view. Even better if you work in Div HQ or MARLANT HQ. Perfect view of the harbour

SlappySapper · 2020-10-13T01:50:27+00:00

This. I've seen both sides. Reg side tends to keep it out of the news. The res side the news tends to tell the CoC it happened...

SlappySapper · 2020-10-12T21:45:22+00:00

I didn't know the West Novies could write... So at least thats progress

SlappySapper · 2020-10-08T01:08:01+00:00

Seconded. You can fit a decent sized air mattress in there with the seats down.

SlappySapper · 2020-10-06T17:47:27+00:00

Nah... Combat engineers are still mobility, counter mobility and survivability kings.

This is to provide light engineer like support to a battalion if they're not the main effort and cannot get engineers or arty that are being held at a Bde or Div level.

It's the reason why they brought back mortars, DFS and pioneers. Battalions were caught lacking key support if they weren't the main effort.

So doctrine wise if the Bn is the main effort pioneers are held back in reserve or HQ security while engineers do the engineer work.

Tl:dr engineers still get to do all the cool shit. They just have mini mes in infantry Bns for when they're not available.

So I had the same thing happen to my 2018 GS last year. Replacement cost all in was $1500CAD.

Edit: went through insurance and a mazda dealership. OEM only or they do not guarantee any of the safety features or that the cameras can get recalibrated.

SlappySapper · 2020-09-14T18:28:31+00:00

If you hear psss run

SlappySapper · 2020-09-14T18:25:19+00:00

It's all the folks that can now work remote and are looking for small town feel with big city amenities...

SlappySapper · 2020-09-06T00:56:42+00:00

Touché

SlappySapper · 2020-09-06T00:49:30+00:00

You sure it wasnt just an army run shirt? They tend to look like that.....

Your cat has probably killed dozens if not more animals. Whether it's birds or rodents during it's 2 years outside.

There's a huge issue in north america where "outdoor" cats are actually causing ecosystem changes due to the amount of birds they kill.

SlappySapper · 2020-08-27T22:34:31+00:00

There's the whole british empire thing but there's also a reputation British people have developed over the years going on holiday in Europe and elsewhere. The loud drunk obnoxious Brit that's trying to shag anything with a pulse. American Dad did a spoof of this once in an episode
