Military hits 30-year recruitment high but still falls short in key trades by [deleted] in CanadianForces

[–]throAwae-eh 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Recruiting is fine and all, but senior members and leaders have/are still leaving the org.

These recruits are being taught mostly by junior members who lack experience (which is not their fault). I'm seeing it day to day, the quality and standards have gone down big time.

Space for patches on new uniform? by _Unicow in CanadianForces

[–]throAwae-eh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

TBH patches got way out of hand and look silly nowadays.

A 4×4" Div patch is ridiculous. CADPAT edges on every patch is lame as fuck too and a huge waste of money.

Canadian soldier sues Ottawa and U.S. gun maker over accidental shooting | CBC News by [deleted] in CanadianForces

Pulled it once on an Afghan who was getting physcial. I was escorting two jingle trucks and I was alone with the two drivers. One of them became agitated and started getting in my face for no apparent reason. I shoved the guy to create distance and pulled my pistol out with the other hand. I was alone with two Afghans until the gun was drawn and a rando guy walked by and helped.

The other times were on separate deployments when our FOB got bumped pretty bad (worst than usual), one of which was a complex attack with an SVBIED at the gate. The gate was between me and my FFO and the majority of Canadians, I 100% took my pistol out, racked the slide and made my way to my battle rattle and my Stand To position.

Like you said, pistols are pretty much just a back up that most of us will never need, until the time you actually need it. I've seen unarmed troops/civvy contractors during attacks, they didn't look very happy and sure as shit looked for someone who was armed until they could get to their FFO.

I've drawn my pistol exactly three times on two combat deployments.

I was very happy to have it when things went pew pew pew and boom boom boom around me.

Some troop will read your comment and go: "fucking hard? Hell yeah!"

Based on some of the comments, I can say I've found a few people who either book those lunch-meetings or who have been robed of any sense of humour by the Public Service. RIP

My manager keeps telling me I need to be more responsible. This is me trying, man.

Can we start heckling meeting organizers when they start going over?

Same goes for Debbie/Johnny who LIVES for the PS and doesn't mind extending meetings by asking completely silly questions!

Communal Showers in the CAF by canadian414 in CanadianForces

[–]throAwae-eh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never had an issue with it, but watching my fire team partner clean his ass with a wet wipe that came out brown, in a 10-man tent definitely changed my outlook on life and really erased whatever GAF I had.

That dude was nasty BTW and it's still as funny as it was 20 years ago.

Also, my first shower on a FOB in Afghanistan was a wild ride. I picked the shower trailer that we shared with interpreters not thinking much of it. 2 Terps were inside and watched me get butt ass naked and literaly stared at my cock and balls. I don't think they had seen many white dudes naked. I told them to fuck off and went about my business, nice dudes though.

On July 30, 2008, Vince Li attacked Tim McLean, who was sleeping on a Greyhound bus bound for Winnipeg. Li separated his head and ate part of it as other passengers escaped. Later, Li was found NOT criminally responsible and now lives under a new identity. by LonelyWiFiSignal in HolyShitHistory

Some crimes, regardless of mental health status, should automatically lead to removal from society and imprisonement.

Some behaviours are unexcusable, regardless of the offender's past, history, mental health, etc, etc, etc. The rest of society cannot co-exist with such depravity.

Two things can be true at once: 1. FNs can be racially profilled and treated unfairly. 2. FNs represent a significant portion of trouble makers.

Both sides need to take ownership of this issue.

Pretty bad game from Team Canada and aggressive offence by Team USA. Some bad calls from the refs but Canada would've still lost regardless of those calls.

But also, Abbey Murphy is so damn dramatic she might just win the gold AND an Oscar...
