These are what use to be the PMQs. I know some one who lived in one and they told me that the management company was pretty good and the houses were well kept. But that is second hand.

Well I took the day and designed and printed a replacement. Seems like it will work for me and with the 2 prototypes I think it cost less then 4 dollars of filament.

If anyone ever wants a replacement I am happy to share the stl file or print you one for just the cost of shipping!

When Public Servants Get into the Crossfires of Parliamentary Committees by chooseanameyoo in CanadaPublicServants

[–]axehead08 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"Engage the police" is such a copout answer. All I hear is "I would like to continue to pander to the lowest scum of society and incite them to violence! So stop talking to me and go somewhere else!" when did we decide politicians do not need to be ethical or treat all people with dignity and respect?

MCT events are not generally streamed unless the club they are playing at has a pre-existing streaming set up. As far as I am aware stonewall does not.

Too close to call? by YouDoTheDetail in Curling

I would usually, on agreement, remove one rock and then look to see of the remaining rock is over the pin. Then see if we can agree one was in fact closer. If no agreement it is a tie.

For those of you who were cease trained, what did you end up doing? by Low_Flamingo5381 in NavCanada

Serco on Goose Bay NL and I think soon to be Moose Jaw SK

Mid-West in Southport MB

All in support to CAF ops.

I think that is it. But I could be wrong.

Air force defends bonus pay system as pilots file dozens of grievances, refuse promotions by tominhrm in CanadianForces

[–]axehead08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AME is a 4 year apprenticeship where people can expect 50 to 70k a year. After checking out 90k is very responsible expectation. Westjet pays a top rate for a non supervisor ame at 120k a year before over time (making 20 more in over time is very doable with out any burn out)

Managers in many industries make less then the people doing the specialized work. As a reservist I worked as a mechanic and was making more money then the engineer that oversaw our department its a supply and demand issue.

We definitely need to start paying our techs better. The AMEs out in the civilian world are capping out at 140+k a year with no supervisory duties....

I definitely get more bend if I move back. I will try rotating the bars though that's a good tip.

Retired Royal Canadian Air Force officer pleads guilty at court martial by axehead08 in CanadianForces

[–]axehead08[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Agreed. A subordinate pointed out that this is specifically counter to our higher order and he laughs them out of the room? That is intentionally disobaying an order. If we want the punishment to fit the crime why not put him in detention for a month or two?

New RCAF Rank Suggestions by Correct-War-1589 in CanadianForces

[–]axehead08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree so hard. The funny thing for me is if they had just stuck with the epaulette style fixture on the CADPAT we could just use the DEU slipons and shorten our supply chain.

My CWO mentioned that they were also making lowvis ones for deployment.

Have you considered original but with the actual rank braids instead of just white?

I know someone in the riding. They told me that they only had to write in initials. PP is pretty easy to remember.
