    82d Testing Lav's

    In theory our LAVs could be dropped. Aside from a few AD items and the authority to run a trial it could be done. The desire, need and want for the LAV to be Air Dropped isn't there.

    Walts, posers & wannabes (merged)

    It is most likely a complete scam. A string of scams are taking place asking people to make payments over the phone for things such as taxes, hospital bills, bail money, debt collection, and utility bills. The scams are committed using many methods, including gift cards. As the fraudsters are...

    Fantino in/out of VAC: changes in DM/other staff (merged)

    No worries. I didnt think that anything was any kind of an attack, I just wanted to make sure it was understood that, in my opinion it is the system that is the problem and not the people (at least the vast majority I have dealt with).

    Fantino in/out of VAC: changes in DM/other staff (merged)

    Just to clarify. In my opinion, it is the system and process that is the problem. I have spoken to a number of DVA employees and all (with the exception of one) were courteous and very helpful.

    Fantino in/out of VAC: changes in DM/other staff (merged)

    I had one get all the way through, even got a letter saying I was entitled to something, took about five months but then they wanted more info to decide the actual percentage.

    CAF international bases, staging areas, and fighting formations

    Just adding, in Spangdahlem (for six months anyway due to the closure of Camp Mirage) we had a full MAMS team, an ALCE, and loads of work too but also a bit of a different purpose when compared to the OS Hub in Koln-Bonn. Prior to that, Spangdahlem was manned in a similar way that Koln is now.

    Alleged Institutional Racism/solutions in CAF (merged)

    w Or maybe he wasn't posted to YZX because of his posting preferences that he gave to the career manager while on his QL3. If you list bases in N.S, Ontario, and B.C, then you've told your career shop that you are open to a posting anywhere. I am certain Mr. Fowler does not expect that someone...

    Two Walt stories and a question here. Both of these stories were told to me directly from the very imaginative Walts who had "been there" on two separate occasions. Here is one from a couple of years ago while walking through a cargo terminal that was undergoing some construction. During the...
