Which is reasonable, but at the same time, there are lots of immigrants that fought on the Axis side who don't get fetted as heroes in Parliament. At the end of the day, it was a totally unecessary distraction, and if they had spent a few minutes on google it probably wouldn't have happened...

Sure, but sounds more like it was increased to favour the subordinate vice dropped down because of impropriety. Off the top of my head I can think of a few people that sucked up to the CO and got higher scores than dictated by their performance. Anyway, no point speculating I guess; will wait...

Not sure how this comes up 12 years later, seems like someone held a grudge. Seems like a good reason for CM for abuse of rank to play favourites, but hardly sexual misconduct. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/lt-gen-steven-whelan-court-martial-beings-sexual-misconduct-allegation-1.6977219

Good vs Bad gets kind of complicated; is Russia in WW2 good or bad, considering their casualty rate and subsequent slaughter of millions that made the holocaust look like a warmup? Also, firebombing Dresden, nuking Japan twice and some other things the allies did is pretty questionable. WW2...

Good, it's only ridiculous that they have to call for him to resign, vice him doing it on his own.

Brutal. How in the age of google did no one even look at his unit? Here's the very first result from that search with the wikipedia entry; 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Galician) - Wikipedia I have to do a more in depth screening on a replacement pressure gauge apparently then...

I agree, they are the preferred alternative to lead acid, and I think what we should be using as an alternative for any UPS or similar. Still ways to make a battery pack more resilient, but that's the best chemistry currently on the market. Things like inter cell spacing, internal cooling and...

Thermal runaway is one issue, and can be a result of various circuit faults, a lot of which where due to internal faults from QA issues on cheaper batteries, or from some mechanical damage in things like phone from them flexing. Some of them were happening because the charger circuits were...

There is some work to look at them to see about options like requiring additional separation between the cells, some kind of cooling medium, and some other options. It increases the size but doesn't do much for the weight, so it's a pretty good options for vehicles. The LiFePO4 batteries (which...

Me too, wonder what kind of polling they got that made them decide that maybe not being greasy bastards and giving their friends backdoor access to billions of dollars of land for redevelopment was a good idea? The funny thing is if they had done a bit more above board work on this it probably...

We're actually working on this, and have piloted making some parts. For ships, using naval bronze on smaller parts is an issue, only because it's less common and there isn't really much experience/data on how to do the various 3D printing so you don't end up with voids and faults, so the whole...

...while in a US port. Guess what happens when foreign ships visit our ports? And yes, interference items like cabling is actually most of the work for repairs. Making big valves to specs and having them properly tested and proven takes a lot of time. These weight 300-500 lbs each and are cast...

Okay then, I guess none of the machinists, manufacturers or others working directly for DND, the shipyards, valve manufacturers and other heavy industries involved in this know what they are doing, so you should put in a bid.

Yes, why didn't we think of that? I guess we were just sitting on our thumbs having coffee instead of working. I guess you missed the part where it's too far down our list of things to get done to actively manage it, as well as the previous bit that we are having first time failures for parts...

Don't need budget managers if you zero fund the budget! Follow me for more CAF life hacks.

Yeah, tax free with a clutched in crew in a ship where things work is a good time. It made the yearish run up to it worth it, and would do it again. FG sails in a clapped out rust bucket less so, and SDA doesn't being to bridge that gap.

Thanks for the share, it linked to another related article that was also really good; The Navy Gets the New York Times Treatment This bit really struck a cord, and from what I can tell, ours is actually more bureaucratic with more approval gates and oversight, with even less people per capita...

I probably meant RA; but yes, when you chop over you lose SDA and convert over to the generic hazard pay. I'm think it was a bit of an increase, but it's something because of how the SDA regulations are written (but also why the SDA backpay came through because it shouldn't have ever been...

I absolutely despise all the LOE and funding that goes into these innovations when we are concurrently cutting ongoing support for existing operational and safety capabilities while leaving positions empty. Especially when this horseshit does the sexy upfront 5%, then throws the 95% of actual...

I want to say it was JW in 2011 (maybe the fall) on ATH. We ended up successfully making it to Glasgow and participated in it, but we left the wall with 3 solars and no DG, ended up losing 2 and 3 within an hour of each other, and then were going full out trying to get anything back up and...
