The new shirt is two layers, so there is no jacket. The old system of a t-shirt, shirt, and double layer jacket was overkill... We were trying to make our daily uniform bunker gear.

In the example you provided the mill owners were the baddies. They took advantage of the surplus of available workers to pay less, and treat people poorly... People have managed to live and thrive in cities for millennia, so the answer isn't just patches of land, or sprawling megacities...

We'll see... I don't share your optimism regarding the naming of ships. Most people have no idea about any of the ceremonies we perform, but when they see HMCS Iroquois, or HMCS Huron on the news they will take note. I'm not opposed to the idea of a new Tribal class, I think it would be...

That makes a lot of sense, a M777 requires a fair sized gun crew to use effectively, and things like HLTA already make it hard enough without stripping out more pers for CUAS, or at least that's how things were the last time I worked on a gun line... I don't think the rounds or gun have gotten...

I bet clothing stores still has old stock if you ask nicely... I go the old jacket in Esquimalt back in March, before switching to NCEU two days later.

I'd expect River class, less of a political hot potato. While reconciliation might be the goal with a Tribal class, it would turn into a gong show when the middle class white "always offended" class catches wind of it.

No. 1D would definitely work. A key thing to remember is that all of you should be in the same order of dress... It always looks a bit like a clown show when someone shows up in medals to a ribbons event.

He was part of the Red River Expedition, and apart from the Boer War he had a rather distinguished career.

I can't think of any other reason you'd be opposed to having a unit or RCAF centennial patch on an RCAF uniform. The patches aren't sponsors, so it's not like NASCAR...

I'm not talking about me. If your argument for the current market is "find a different place" you will lose. Not today, but give it a few years, when the Gen-Z and younger Millennials locked out of the market start voting in numbers, because they feel left out, things will change in ways you...

Interestingly, I had been one of the old farts thinking about holding out on the NCDs... Until I was fitted for the NCEU, and realized how much better it felt to wear a uniform cut to fit a real human. Also, I'm a petty man and I enjoy flaunting my SSI around hard sea trades with less sea time.

I disagree. So long as people in Toronto control what firearms I can own, I think I should have a say in what homes they can own... Fair is fair after all. Nobody should own a high capacity planet killing home of more than 1500 square feet except the government. On a more serious note, I think...

My first reaction to this was a very flippant "let them eat pancakes", but upon further reflection I can see how for the average Canadian being told "no, we don't have and can't get that" is a major shock. Hopefully those who have been evacuated can find some comfort while things get sorted.

I quite like it, despite being not very "artsy". You can see him and his uniform, but it's not an attempt to recreate a late Victorian "hero" shot. Bonus points if you know who this is, and why I chose him.

Is there anything inherently superior to not wearing units patches? I have never felt so ashamed of my unit that I would be embarrassed to wear a unit crest/patch. This comes across as the same energy as the guys wearing CADPAT backed nametags years after we switched to Canadian Average...

I'd say it's less proactive, and more educated upper middle class person offended on behalf of someone else.

If you don't build them before you need them, you won't have them when you do need them. That is the lesson we should be taking from 2014 onward, not "we can get by with less".

It's not that hard to understand when you consider that in 2010 we were still living in the fantasy scenario where Western forces would only fight counter-insurgency fights. We didn't need 52 calibre barrels to kill dudes in man-jams and flip flops.

Once rectified, I think the AOPVs will be extremely useful assets for the RCN. I'm not a nay-sayer for the class, I'm just trying to be realistic about the issues that they are facing WRT helo ops.

There are problems with helo ops that go beyond overhead cranes... The RCN might hand wave away problems, but the RCAF does not, and to operate helos from the ships the RCAF has to be content that the standards are met.
