Before I embarrass myself: drawing dicks on the new female LT's whiteboard for weeks is not okay - right? I'm not sure what's playful hazing and what's not okay but she's pretty upset about it.

Wait for the fun when some moron tries to defend himself with "But vaginas are harder to draw, Ma'am". The SMRC number is 844-750-1648, and they're open from 7-5 M-F, or you can email them from the DWAN at +SMRC.

1145pm The Call? No heat. It's 12 degrees outside, still 18 degrees inside the house, windows closed up. Occupant not happy with the current situation, and won't try reset procedures (Or maybe she said she did, its been a while). Brings up the fact she has a baby and the tenancy act. (Please don't bring up kids or the tenancy act; kids don't matter in our assessments - yes its dickish, sorry - and I'm fairly certain that the tenancy act doesn't apply to federal housing/land) Okay, whatever, I don't want anyone getting in trouble so occupant is told someone will call ASAP. Contractor is "sent" in less than 20 minutes. 2 hours go by, occupant calls back. Now she's really pissed, and complaining that we didn't do anything, etc. CFHA: "Ma'am, we sent a contractor very shortly after the original call" Occ: "I don't answer calls from -Private- phone numbers"

Did you inform her the contractor would be calling her? It's not unreasonable to not pick up a call from someone you don't know at 11:50 PM. If the contractor couldn't find the house he should be calling the people who dispatched him to the house.

Occ was told she would receive a call asap. CFHA contractors dont usually go to houses if they dont get in touch with the occ first, to prevent wasting their time if the occ fixes the issue themselves or they are away.

Maybe ASAP is too vague? I dunno. Either way, there were definitely some screwups with that call on all sides. I once got bitched out by a guy who had a broken fridge at 2am, because I wouldnt send a contractor immediately.  Oh, I remember one guy starting a fire in his house because he had a lit candle underneath his coats in a closet. Guess what happened

What better way to integrate those escaping a war-ravaged land into Canadian society than greeting them with bigotry and racism? Maybe if we marginalize and castigate them hard enough we can have our own bank of second generation home grown radicals all the while playing into Daesh's ploy of causing an already disenfranchised group to feel more isolated.

Some people in Calgary did this when a group of refugees landed, minus the Arabic but plus some toys and gifts for the families and their children. I thought it was pretty cool they did that, especially given all the crazy that was happening leading up to the election (and is still going on south of the border).

News hit that CAF are going to be deployed abroad to assist in screening. I really hope when they mean CAF they mean like, CI, MPs, maybe Int or something right? They're not deploying loving 3VP to interview refugees right? "Okay buds, listen up, fill out these loving forms and then take a knee and punch yourself in the face"

Scene: a refugee camp in Greece/Italy/turkey Enter our protagonist: Cpl Bloggins, a reservist RMS clerk. Mid 30s, works entry-level IT and a full-blown alcoholic He sits down at a desk in a Mod tent and begins the arduous process of booting up a 10 year old Toughbook. Outside the tent, a line of thousands form. He smiles to himself as the Toughbook crashes for the first of many times this day, thinking of that sweet class c money.

The Facebook outrage is hilarious.  I just wonder if the refugees will qualify to set records at the Kingston gym. I always wanted my name on that wall, but gently caress doing 300 push-ups or whatever.

Maybe we can outsource the screening of refugees to the same half-assed, 'YES I AM TOTALLY A NATIVE INGLISH SPEAKER DO NOT MIND MY ODD GRAMMAR' services that we use for recruiting. Never mind getting 25k in by the end of the year, we'd be luck to even see the first one by next fiscal.

Well, recently finished Phase II in Moose Jaw. While it was certainly much, much more challenging than Phase I my sense of relief hasn't been as overwhelming. Presumably because it was such a long haul that I got a fairly good handle on what they want, and what I could do, a while back. I can tell you, I just don't give a gently caress what the weather is doing tomorrow, the next day, or next week. The biggest secret: don't gently caress up the same thing twice. Or, at least gently caress it up in a new and wondrous way - that, though, is risky strategy. The testing evaluations are the worst. Finish the trip, wait around for a loooong time while the Snapper (standards) "goes upstairs" and you stew on every little mistake. Wait, did the Snapper just grab the flight commander to sit in on the debrief because he's the only available instructor, or did I loving fail...? Anyway, now I sit and wait an indeterminate period for a Phase III course. Thanks, Seneca program.

Just wait till you get to a squadron or do a Flag scale exercise I'm not even a pilot but the ratio of nutpunching tactical debrief:mission execution can be 2:1 or more (to say nothing of the mission planning side of things...). Even what seems like simple errors can blow up. Eg, we lost the war because the CAOC ate a scud because our strike package took too many losses to service their assigned targets because tac C2 was unable to provide adequate threat warning after sliding when an enemy sweeper made a HVAA run because SLAM73 mistakenly used banzai numbers on a skate timeline and wasn't able to effectively employ weapons on follow on factor groups. It only took four hours to reconstruct! Congrats on finishing it though. What stream are you going? If anything other than fast air you can disregard that last paragraph.

Not going jet, changed my mind on that pretty immediately after arriving here. And I got to develop a real loathing of instrument flying while on course, so going helo, which should be a good fit.
