There is a time and place for every type of refuelling activity and they have their strengths and weaknesses. Jerry cans in a cache or even dropped off at individual tanks at a hide/leaguer (or really anywhere behind the tanks) allow for both the tankers and the support team to move independent...

It was mentioned near the beginning of the thread, which is of course a completely valid reason to make a change. As long as they don't go down the road of the pips and crowns change road of trying to say it would actually save money to justify it.

It is literally a self licking smoke pit from hell. It has gotten increasingly more toxic and is an echo chamber that jumps on anyone that doesn't think their way. Think of the darkest days of army.ca with toxic mods and multiple it by 100 The only redeeming feature is they generally get...

Yea that was part of it. Yea we only did jerry can refueling outside of KAF. In 2006 we even retrofitted the LAV 6 to carry 4-5 jerries of gas along the side of the LAV in addition to the 4 that could be put on the back. That was more individual vehicle sustainment and necessity as I don't...

No MSVS refueler, as it is the MLVW replacement Most T-Fars (trailers) are used for gasoline vice diesel but that doesn't mean they can't be switched Jerry can trucks and caches are a pain with all the environmental restrictions in RTAs. Plus, they are a pain for everyone less the tanks crews...

That is one of the things that gets me about all the teeth ghashing, more on REDDIT than here but lots of folks are making erroneous statements about their overall pay based on bad math or cherry picking data to skew it (willfully or unknowingly). Saw one comment where the guy was complaining...

Another whammy for the RCN is a member loses it for a bunch of reasons but these 2 will affect RCN folks more than most given many stay in the same area for large swathes of their career 205.453(4) (No Entitlement) There is no entitlement to CFHD if any of the following conditions apply: the...

Canadian Forces Housing Differential that is replacing PLD effective 1 July is up Effectively your monthly pay and location determines the level of the allowance...

Having spares geographically close is what 2nd line is good for. You don't need a more 3rd line depots to make that happen, you need material in the system and proper replenishment levels set.

I would argue the depots are not the true issue at all and adding more regional depots won't fix much. If stock exists, is released and is not pegged as Op/project/otherwise stock (so essentially in a MRP relevant SLoc for those Supply nerds out there) the depots on average have the material...

Yea, I really hate when functionality gets in the way of parades. I wish those guys would just procure things in the same colour

Jesus wept....you folks love to talk about things you have no idea on. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

No regulation to that effect. It is fairly common to have folks do up some sort of leave plan so a CoC can plan for the year. Usually it is just a rough guide post for macro planning purposes

I use to have it as a favourite but have since lost it so please send away. I do remember the first time I saw it commenting to a colleague that it is typical DSC that the folks on the ground had to create a repository for that kind of stuff cause it isn't avail anywhere else. Whenever I want...

Dealing with truckers is very icky.... That said, their SJS page is an awesome depository of information, the supply one not so much.

That isn't true. From the TRANSPORT MANUAL SECTION 3 THE DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL DEFENCE SAFE DRIVER AWARD PROGRAM 1. The Department of National Defence (DND) Safe Driver Award is established to provide a nationally recognized certification of drivers who consistently demonstrate their safe...

Didn't say it was the greatest plan, just the easiest.

It happens on lots of missions. Mostly because rations are a pain to dispose of properly as they have to be rendered inedible before disposal. Often that means flying the rations back to Canada as well, considering most countries won't allow foodstuffs from other countries to be disposed of...
