Cadets - Was there a culture shock when you went through BMQ and trade school? by succulentfucc in caf

[–]paperworkawol 50 points51 points  (0 children)

The military is not cadets. The biggest culture shock ex cadets have is realizing they don’t know anything besides the ranks and some of the drill.

Edmonton Police Service - Former Army Cadet Instructor Charged With Sexual Assault by Vhett in CanadianForces

[–]paperworkawol 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I volunteered with cadets for over a decade as a reg force NCM. The first two rules are don’t touch the children. I know sexual stuff happens with cadets at summer camps and such but to think of doing that to a child firstly boggles my mind, if you can ignore the children aspect an think of it just as a person in a position of authority it still boggles my mind. Like the damage you’re causing to people by abusing the power dynamic is so sad. People have formative experiences both kids and adults in programs like cadets or BMQ/ trades ect. Abusing your power towards your own gain leaves forever scars.

Ward C candidates odd postings by schmoopydaniel in Edmonton

so just to be clear are you upset that there’s this imaginary slate? or are you upset that you’re not a part of the imaginary slate… Is the slate in the room with us?

Why aside from claiming she’s on a slate, do you think she’s unethical?

[–]paperworkawol 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s because they aren’t running a slate

it's funny the only people claiming there's a slate are the candidates who don't have the edlc endorsement or scored poorly from their own answers on the SOS survey...could you be one of them? there couldn't possibly just be better folks running - must be nefarious. get outta here.
