402 still, IMHO, has it's place as it teaches the fundamentals of being aircrew. Their syllabus is being revamped to put it more in-line with the CP140 Block IV (and by extension the Cyclone) as we speak.

I mean, we've only just been lucky it hasn't happened over the last year and bit.

The flyaway cost of the P8 is actually now cheaper than the P1, and we can leverage the American training system much like the Aussies and Brits are doing for the short term. Support no matter where we go in the world as well. Not to start a fire, but the recent $2.1 Billion Trudeau asked for...

ASW has changed drastically over the years (obviously). There's, at least IMHO, very little reason to bomb around low level anymore. P8s still can do it, but if you can do everything at 3-5000ft vice 3-500ft, why wouldn't you? For me it's a crew comfort type of thing, long flights are even...

Oh god why? :)

Hey all, I received a payout of 5% early 2019, taken in a lump sum for a knee injury. To date my injury hasn't really gotten better, and I was never actually seen by a VAC approved doctor (just local MIR). Is this something I can appeal or have re-evaluated or am I stuck with my ill-informed...

Because Turkey can now test the F35 against Russia's newest missile threat directly. I assume those test results aren't going to stay secured and locked up deep within a military base in Turkey.

It's changed quite a bit over the past few years. But you can "average" about a 3 week stint every 3 months. Unless of course another OP Impact pops up.

I think we'd fall into the Tier 2 category. Combats are also dress of the day for Aircrew. I can't wait to see brown boots around the Wing... looks so much better than black.

Although I dunno if they're flying them yet, Top Aces/Discovery Air purchased some F16s.

I have a VR headset myself and I wouldn't recommend anything under a 1070 personally. Even then the 1080 is the way to go. You'll be up for disappointment if an inferior video card, especially in a laptop. For the same price as the one you posted, Canex of all places has an ASUS with a 1070.

He's being treated as someone who feel through the cracks and didn't get the treatment he required, not a victim. Your attitude absolutely disgusts me and you're actually part of the problem.

We in the military, especially the combat arms, have a huge mental health issue that's not being addressed. Sure there's programs out there, but the stigma of getting help is still very real. This guy didn't get the help he obviously needed and that's a shame, we've lost two lives that obviously...

Stealth isn't "required" at this moment in time, but you can't predict the future. It's also no longer an "addon" feature. It's included in the price of the jet and doesn't add anymore cost. Sure you can still get manual windows in your vehicle, but you wouldn't say no to power windows if they...

It sounds like, at least to me, that he tried to join the Taliban and found out it wasn't all it was cracked up to be. At which point, he wasn't allowed to leave.

Something still seems really fishy with this story.

Bombardier isn't ready to provide the replacement yet. It's not an election year.

PLD hasn't been discussed yet. Allowances other than the ones mentioned are just a straight 5% across the board.

Apparently "Go West" had a song you might enjoy... King of Wishful Thinking.  ;D

As we thought the Cyclone program was bad... I'd bet the farm that a big announcement will be made come election time in an attempt to win votes. Oh well, I'll long be retired by the time the next LRP/MPA shows up.
