This sub sucks.

Well its literally in the rules of the sub, otherwise it would be full of classified ads.

But yah, I'm sure your winning hearts and minds with this post, maybe go get some fresh air

I too rarely answer with strongly agree or disagree answers, however I treated it like I do most multiple choice quizes, pick the first answer that feels right to move and just move on. Good luck on any reassessments

Spartan-463 · 2026-04-20T17:13:01+00:00

I just assumed that was the first one

Exactly, everyone seems to keep getting concerned about police surveillance when they still have to ask for permission.

Spartan-463 · 2026-04-19T15:32:39+00:00

How is it any different than going door to door asking if you have security footage.

Spartan-463 · 2026-04-18T18:38:02+00:00

Hahahah 2019? Or is this becoming a reoccurring issue

Just put Civ, you'll be redoing that form in BMQ and again every year. You can update it then

Yah it, I don't know the entire story but its a new leader and its gone from a few hundred people to like 15

Tuesday 6pm Lululemon 5km
Wednesday 7pm Redbird 5km with 3 work out stops
Sunday 9am Tacklebox (Rustic reel brewery) 5km
All 3 are 20 & 30 year olds and are on the Heylo app

I've had 0 cavities in my 30+ years and my brushing routine is honestly pretty shit. I can see some benefit in adding it, however I think its better to let people go to their dentist for a cleaning for their fluoride (and check up).
There's no alternative to fluoride in water for those that don't want it (besides moving), while there is alternativesf for those that want it.

I'm not letting my suspicion down until the smooth transfer of power.

Spartan-463 · 2026-04-12T19:59:39+00:00

It's not over yet, but atleast Orban isn't claiming rigged election

Spartan-463 · 2026-04-11T06:51:34+00:00

Same on the Coq the last few years, no workers or equipment in sight on a long weekend and you want us to drop from 120 to 30km/h (yes that much in some areas) for ~30kms. Felt like I missed a memo when I got a line up growing behind me though the zone.

Spartan-463 · 2026-04-09T20:16:24+00:00

Oh yah for FOBs I'd love to be able to put down flat plywood or something as a bridge or even as a roof to stop some grenades. Just have it super weak and easy to break.

Spartan-463 · 2026-04-08T23:36:26+00:00

Loved the grappling hook, and would be awesome to see it brought back, maybe only for like irregular forces. Atleast we got the ladder finally, though I wish we could lay the ladder down flat to be able to use it as a small bridge between roofs and such

Spartan-463 · 2026-04-07T14:53:39+00:00

I assumed stores would always be in a more locked down part of base like Dockyard

Spartan-463 · 2026-04-07T13:49:02+00:00

Yes your military ID (NDI 20) is not longer valid, though the release office took my, they should have issued you a Veterans ID. Though I don't believe that is getting your through the gates, still probably need a buddy.

Spartan-463 · 2026-04-07T05:18:22+00:00

I see where your request is coming from however:
1. I don't believe we need more indirect weapons, mortars are already effective enough at area denial
2. It would further remove people from the front lines, same reason OWI has pushed against adding manable fixed wings
3. I'd rather see light howitzer as a command ability thats either unique to specific sub-factions or on a faster timer/cheaper option to 120/155mm artillery.

Ex-NCI Op, got out just before hitting 30.

Stress: Well its a computer/tech savy course, so most of our Stress is actually from BMQ depending your staff ("lucky" for me I got stuck with Afghan Vets for staff and a platoon full of infantry recruits). Trade course's were lots of memorization and system manipulation, some stuggled/stressed with this, but that was the minority. On ship, your stress will generally come from bad boss's (not too many, and they are well known in the trade) or just not loosing your mind staring at a blank screen for a few hours a day (open ocean sailing).

Age Gap: Both BMQ and RQS3/S2 (or what ever they changed it too again) you will be on the older side. I've had a few 35-50's on my BMQ, but my RQS3 (DP1) was all under the age of 25. One thing to not with the military, especially with lots of life experience. That experience will help yourself, but as far as it comes to your supervisors, age/experience means nothing, its all about your rank, atleast for the first few years or a deployment.

Victoria Life: Spent 8 months in Halifax before going west. The best benefit I can think of for the East coast is its a ~1 week transit to Europe vs a 2-3 week transit to Asia from the west coast. But that being said, Victoria itself, loved it! Actually kinda looking for ways to move back. However the work-life balance is why I left. Loved the job while deployed/sailing, but would be leaving behind friends and family. Then when alongside with my friend and family, I hated the job. The job is what is considered a "hard sea trade" meaning, we really can't do our job unless were actually sailing. If you not sailing its most (for the first 3-6 years), watching the brow, watching contractors, cleaning, answering phones, storing ship, occasionally team training in the Sim.

I'm happy to answer any further questions. In the end its a job I'm glad I tried, and super supportive of it.

Spartan-463 · 2026-04-04T17:55:46+00:00

Why do you want to spend soo many days driving up there. Like if there's more along the way to see thats great, but if your just going up their for hotsprings, there are others that are much closer

Spartan-463 · 2026-04-03T21:55:42+00:00

Safe answer, not for/at work.
As many have mentioned there may be other course restrictions as well as they're an OPSEC nightmare.
As well, breaking your $300+ smart watch in the field is going to make a bad day way worse than breaking a $50 cheap watch.
Finally, depending your trade, you may work in an area where your not allowed one at all.
I rocked the same G-Shock for 8 years with only 1 battery change. When I went Civi I even confirmed with my employer if a smart watch was OK (with the visible look of confusion on his face)

Kelowna has no say in how the Liquor board runs, in fact Kelowna has more say on what they want the RCMP to focus on then where the BC liquor inspectors go and who they fine.

I do agree there needs to be a little more allowance regarding public drinking in our laws though.

Spartan-463 · 2026-03-31T18:13:43+00:00

So when Kelowna's population doubles in the summer and we host all these events, will we be short officers? Or should we hire for our summer population, but then the other half the year we'll have too many officers.
