Join the air force. At the times where racism spikes above baseline levels, it's usually by fat fucks who would die on Fury Road for want of synthetic insulin. e. the sexism is still there tho so be male i guess Guest2553 fucked around with this message at 23:20 on Oct 30, 2021 |

I wear blue, but my trade is 90% remusters, so its a bit more army but more relaxed because most people hated the army

If a civilian was aware of a CF member spouting some disturbing neo Nazi poo poo, is there somewhere that could be reported?

Theoretically, but your best bet is making it public and posting screen caps or something to their twitter. PAFOs will have him charged real fast. Alternatively, call their base's public affairs office and inform them of what you have and your intent to bring it to the media. The cf cant handle bad press right now so thats definitely the path of least resistence. Good luck and i hope you get the rear end in a top hat kicked the gently caress out.

Sadly this rear end in a top hat was smart enough to do his egregious racism in private so I don’t have anything for the media.

Ours has an open coffee ever few months (although I've never been to one). Search DWAN, they might be meeting and you're not even aware of it. Man, that's what I hate about being a DND civilian. There's no orderly room, and there's virtually no guidance for figuring out stuff like insurance, retirement, pension, advancing your career, finding resources, etc. I didn't even know how to book leave or find my paycheque for months. You're totally on your own, or leaning on word-of-mouth to learn about anything.

Up to 27,000 federal public servants miss deadline to affirm they are COVID vaccinated Apparently this is out of approximately 267,000 public servants, including RCMP (and I'm presuming CAF). I'm a little dubious about the reporting here though—I think these numbers are folks who completed the attestation, not those who attested to being vaccinated. In either case, I'm really interested in the breakdown of which departments had the most delinquency. Considering that most of these folks are paid by Phoenix, I don't think they realize how big of a rod they're building for their own rear end. One of the big problems in 2016 was people who came back from LWOP/MATA/PATA didn't have their pay resume. That would be a pretty lovely thing to happen a month before Christmas. vvv Edit: You've got two weeks from returning to get it done in Monitor Mass, I think. Either way, don't delay, reports are already going up to 1CAD. vvv mom and dad fight a lot fucked around with this message at 19:09 on Nov 2, 2021 |

Heard from some buddies that soldiers are putting in for ED&T to dodge going down to the Armoury and making an attestation. I imagine a good percentage of the "missed deadline" numbers could potentially be from the reserves.

Are units still doing mess dinners and Christmas parties? Our base cancelled all Mess dinners last September when cases were surging, but it looks like Christmas Parties are still a thing? I've been dragging my heels on planning ours because I just assumed that it was/would be cancelled. But I seem to be more germaphobic than most everyone else, so maybe I'm just in the minority.
