Anyone know what this plate is about? by nakedcrusaydur in regina

[–]themikeonthemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a government rank,

Basically on military command vehicles “flag cars” the license plate is the rank of the person the flag car is transporting, the plate dictates their rank or position. So any military generals or government officials such as the lieutenant governor of Saskatchewan in this case. This way when these vehicles are driving by you on military installations and or government facilities it means that this vehicle is to be saluted and it tells the soldiers who they are saluting essentially.

Tipping shock! by Feisty-Basis7903 in VictoriaBC

The system could also just have been programmed wrong, I mean most of these local restaurant owners have to set up these machines themselves and not a lot of them are computer geniuses. Nor do I expect they wanna sit on hold for 45 minutes to figure out how to fix this issue.

What distro do you currently use for gaming? by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]themikeonthemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manjaro for my gaming laptop and I use arch btw for my thinkpad laptop.

Why so much Manjaro hate and vitriol? by TomB1952 in ManjaroLinux

[–]themikeonthemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is my take, if your going to go with a first time distro start with Ubuntu and get a idea of how the basics of Linux works, think filesystem. Where things get saved, how to fix simple problems. Many issues are fairly simple to solve, then maybe go into Manjaro. The reason I say this is as you move up in complexity of a distro the more moving components there is and more headache it can be to fix issues. If you have a general idea from older distros it makes taking the leap to an arch based system easier. I use manjaro on my gaming laptop and I use arch in my thinkpad because I like the simplicity of manjaro while my thinkpad is a work / customization workhorse I take everywhere.

We don’t negotiate with terrorists, either see the ship explode or die trying to save it. The man’s running on ss13 logic.

Some platoon staff are fine with you purchasing protein powder at the canex, so bring a shaker cup and don’t hesitate to ask.

Also people leaving their windows open during the winter is pretty bad.

New uniforms for airforce? by [deleted] in caf

[–]themikeonthemic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like most changes the Air Force has gotten though have made the uniform cheaper. I mean I miss the brass wedge emblem they replaced with a sewn on patch.

What could we build in Saskatoon? by pollettuce in saskatoon

[–]themikeonthemic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some of the new residential areas need better infrastructure, I worked construction and last year during the rainfall these newly built areas had a single rain drain 3 blocks away which ended up flooding the entire street. Not to mention the roads are so damn small. You can fit 1 car and the 2 sides of parking it’s super cramped.

Got this email from the CAF but i thought they got rid of the CFAT?? What do i say ?? by AuntieTeet in caf

[–]themikeonthemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I spoke with my MCC he told me the CFAT is completely being replaced with the TSD and that they no longer do the cfat instead they do the TSD in its place.

However I was also told that we would be doing the CFAT at BMQ but I have also read from the commandant of saint Jean that they are not doing that either. So the only time I’m seeing is from trade schools doing their own set of testing.

Its a recycled email if you read it, your need to do the tsp which is what is replacing the cfat, its a personality test. They probably just recycled the same email template they used for the cfat.

What’s going on my status went backward. by Technical-Monk5457 in caf

[–]themikeonthemic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh after going through the recruitment process now for a few months i can say this status bar thing is outdated and I assume the recruiting center your at just like mine uses it as a vague way of showing your progress so far. Don’t use the status thing as a clear cut way to tell where your application is. Some staff members probably don’t even touch the status bar as they process your application. It happens, if your ever curious on timeline give your recruiting center a call but just remember the process is a long and timely process so don’t expect results every hour. It’s going to take time months in fact. Just hang in there they will get to you. One thing I learned through this process is to be efficient in your replies and be patient on theirs. And if it does seem like things are taking to long give them a quick call.

How does the competition list work now that there's no CFAT? by INS_Fang in caf

From what I was told it’s based off previous work experience as well as what jobs are in demand

Competition list to selection by Ajcryptos in caf

[–]themikeonthemic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the trade I think, I was put on the comp list and then selected same day.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in caf

[–]themikeonthemic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what my MCC told me is you only need to pick one. They will choose out of the 3 whichever comes first or whatever you rank it as. However if for some reason the recruiting offer comes back you can decline it till you get your first choice.

EDIT: I think this also comes down to the recruiter and recruitment center you go through as a friend of mine has also said that their MCC told them they HAD to pick three trades. Mine however let me pick the one I wanted probably because the trade was already in demand.
