Allegedly the local ones weren't authorized because there were slight changes in tint/stitching, and they wanted to enforce uniformity. And in fairness they are slightly different, but honestly if they weren't side-by-side, I would have never been able to tell the difference.

The hats were a major disappointment, because they were designed so incompetently it's almost impressive. I've worn all manner of ballcaps my entire life, and the RCAF ones are the first I would ever describe as uncomfortable to wear. The beret persists.

I had no idea that veterans licence plates were so easy to get now. There used to be a minimum service requirement and now it's just "lol honorable discharge give the Legion money", it's nuts.

An officer at an old unit endured a bit of ribbing over the fact that they showed up with a veteran plate as a milcol grad. It pretty much ended after they pointed out all the places that gave them free parking. A lot more veteran plates popped up on base soon after.

Apparently Colonel Boat Gun had both a .22 rifle and revolver, the latter which breaches the law regarding restricted weapons. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/leif-dahl-cfb-trenton-commander-firearm-charges-first-court-appearance-1.6979919 I know someone who knew him, and based on the experience they had, they're...not upset about the news.

Way to go, Lief. You made the department look bad, and now they're gonna cut $1B of our budget. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/department-national-defence-budget-billion-1.6981974 This is particularly funny if you were one of the places that had onramp funding approved last summer.

CBC News posted:The Department of National Defence has been saving the finance department over a billion dollars every single year by underspending its capital account," said Perry, whose organization has occasionally hosted conferences partly sponsored by defence manufacturers. Hey just saying, we could probably use the capital account for more affordable military housing when we're posted somewhere. e:fixed link mom and dad fight a lot fucked around with this message at 16:20 on Oct 4, 2023 |

My squadron OR is apparently out of correction tape until 2024. You know, the common office supply that costs 10 cents a metre. Can be bought at the Dollarama three blocks away. Impossible to officially procure until the new year. And I'm supposed to roleplay that this organization could fight a war. Will the next generation be expected to buy their own bullets from Cabela's? /vent Gainsboro fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Nov 1, 2023 |

You know, every time I think "gently caress I'm underpaid and my employer is falling apart, I should look at one of the CF jobs in my field" I always come to this thread and am reminded that I probably shouldn't. Still contemplating it though.
