Latvia is tax free

Meh, we live in all pigs are equal world. While I detest some aspects of our GOFO bloat, not really heartbroken that our CDS is 4*. SJS can play a strong(er) role than they currently do. The nature of the game means that they need to be equal to do so. I might hate the game, but I defo didn't...

I was thinking to say I thought that was the plan

I don't know, call me crazy but I don't really trust the rantings of one angry dude who is adamant it is totally legit.

Yea I went to "activist" Uni In Winnipeg and over the four years there it was same same. Like most extreme things today by either side the actual pure numbers of people that GAF or involved are lower than some folks and the media like to make out

There are no RCN Quartermasters in CA units which is the rough equivalent. The Log NCMs however may be any DEU as currently all Log NCM trades are treated as purple throughout their career unlike Log Os who generally matriculate and do developmental positions within their environment.

I know OP said BMQ but they are going as a Log O so element matters in terms of initial postings and overall employment

Your preference is noted but the CAF will choose the final element you get based on CAF needs. You can ask them if you can change before departing on BMQ/BMOQ, no harm in asking. Post BMQ/BMOQ the Logistics world has a process for Basic Training List (BTL) members to change their element that...

It really isn't that big of an issue. I have been involved in both on base and local to base rail loads and while there was bit more coord needed with the local to base, the advantage that you get with local to base is often they are set up much better infrastructure wise. Plus, the rail...

Ha and thanks. That is perfect for AEFC and 3 CSU as needed as the depot doesn't hold vehs. In any case I stand corrected. Both CP & CN have railyards in Edmonton. We don't do it often but we definitely don't drive to Wx CN 53.57757619290009, -113.32779778189634 CP 53.47379060593238...

I might be misunderstanding but their is no railhead at the depot/base. There is a railhead super close for the port that is utilized at times but nothing for depot pay off the base. Edmonton has a rail head close to the base as well. I get folks are chuffed it isn't on base but for the amount...

From the outset there were some support relationships that didn't make much sense and needed adjustment (still do IMHO). One example from 3 Div (that was replicated through the other Divs less 5 Div) was all PRes TAPV support relationships went through the 1 Svc Bn 2nd Line TAPV account, which...

It is such a weird conundrum as the TAPV actually has one of the best methodologies for getting spare parts compared to all our other fleets. When a work order stock demand reaches the depot and they don't have the part it is automatically pegged against TEXTRON and they have contractual...

I suspect it is the ever driving need to make money for shareholders over DEI that drove Boeing into the trashheap. Although it is probably many factors that play into their issues. Ok article detailing some of the issues. As always to be taken with a grain salt NY Mag is pretty left of center...

Big, if true Colour me a cautious optimistic skeptic tho :)
