I start my PLQ residency tonight. I did the online horeshit over a year ago, so I am right the gently caress out of her. Should be interesting.

My soft assess drill instruction was so horrible. I could have just just spun on the ground and would have gotten the same score. edit: included a gif for better visualization Flanker fucked around with this message at 23:37 on Feb 20, 2012 |

compressioncut posted:Guy in my syndicate could not for the life of him say "syndicate" so always called us "Delta Squad" and he still passed...not the hardest course in the world. I was the first to go, with literally no training and no practice. I did some remedial training, hard assess shouldn't be a big deal. Downhill from there, I have no problems teaching lectures.

Another PLQ weekend down. Got 84 on my hard assess drill lesson. 91 on my Knowledge lesson. I was so goddamn stressed about it, but it led me to prep harder.

My Spirit Otter posted:Well, there is a whole bias on it due to the fact that reg force trains for this poo poo like it's their job. Mo's on the other hand, only do it for 2 days out of the month if they feel like it/can make it. The main problem with hating reservists is that you can be a master in 3 years if you're remotely competent, while in the reg force it's usually 6-7 years. So that definitely facilitates a huge grudge against reservists. Especially since most gunners could do what some master bombadiers couldn't. However like you said, a lot of reservists are really switched on dudes that can out perform a lot of reg force guys. It doesn't help that when I'm on workup/course/tasking I get free room and board whereas reg guys have to pay for a meal plan or what have you. I've learned a lot about how to deal with toon hate. I accept that it really has a valid basis, especially with leadership. Reserve senior NCOs and Officers are rarely on par with their reg force counterparts, especially without tour experience. At my level, I've learned to just take the jokes for a bit. Prove what I'm competent at and not talk big. With some guys, it's a good idea to push back a bit and not take their poo poo all the time, they'll start respecting you faster. I can usually put the brakes on things pretty fast with this secret move: "why don't you just go regs?" "do you like living in Petawawa?" "gently caress NO" "so why should I go regs?" "GODDAMMIT" I can do a tour, come home, stay off the radar for months at a time, and start putting the uniform on when I'm ready. I don't have the buddy support of being on a base, but I can take the time to cool off and do another roto when I'm ready.

I cringe when I hear 'militia'. I guess I just show up with my own firearms and uniform, unpaid and untrained. Because that's what a militia is. Also nowadays usually militia means somekind of anti-government white supremacist circle jerk with meth and guns. which is really more like reg force infantry

Having to wear my uniform on the city bus back before I could afford a car... drat. Uniform in public usually results in hilarity in non military towns. I know the Toronto units (who have loving lockers) always changed into civies before heading home. Nobody in Hamilton cares, just don't be poo poo faced or do anything retarded (which still happens). I've gone and done the school talk a couple times, I didn't bother with the uniform because it dehumanizes you, especially to kids. I bring a tan ratty combat shirt they can pass around.

That video is stupid and terrible, but I think the CBC is really making a mountain out of a mole hill on this one.
