LEGACY HORNET SWEEP RAHHHHH

Same plane started with Sparrows and MESA now rocking 120Ds and AESA

The CF-188 HEP II is definitely up there for NATO's most slammed out multirole. Original early serial A frames rocking rebuilt engines with C series parts and legacy hornet adapted super hornet sensors. It's like a scuffed ass Mitsubishi Lancer Evo rocking a new Porsche's worth of aftermarket shit.

Mark Carney hear me, get the KF-21 Boramae, the Koreans will invent a different coloured RAM for us paint our false cockpit again if we ask nicely and throw in on development costs

Gonna go to the Donald Trump memorial Saskatchewanian uranium chain gang mine with a smile on my face until the radiation takes me

Honestly an RCAF F-18 winning a WVR dogfight with a US jet would fix me forever

They're basically stealth now with their frames being more bondo than metal

"USN Hornets forming off of our 5 o'clock to join us for the strike"

"Flight lead, the navy doesn't have any regular hornets anymore"

RCAF now guaranteed to go down like lions with a 10-1 kill ratio when we get invaded early next year as a distraction from the midterm crisis.

Economists, stupidly: Carney is doing more deficit spending with barely any headroom, which will damage Canada's exceptional financial record and debt to GDP ratio

Mvrk Cvrney summoning billions in resource royalties from thin air:

They should just make him transportation secretary for life, admins change, but the trains run on Pete

@sharonk.bsky.social this is entirely your bag

Citizenship* idk why my phone autocorrect separated it like that

Spur of the moment business trip stop at an Indo-Chinese fusion gastro pub has me weirdly patriotic enjoying street food and observing a group of girls out on the town after their citizen ship ceremony with Canadian flag headbands

My hottest take is that Elizabeth's reign is somewhat overrated in retrospect as she still made a mess of her children, was quite distinctly in the pocket of the Tories, and on balance exercised her influence in both some good ways (Rhodesia) but also some quite dubious ways, especially later on.

However he's deeply involved in some good causes and been pretty merciless irg2 Andrew, which even as a purely defensive move is still better than Elizabeth covering for him. Ultimately I think his reign will be fairly positive just because he's unlikely to have it be long enough to fuck it up!

He's definitely a fairly complicated person and definitely not entirely a great human being (Diana and such), which is both a product of his being the last royal generation raised like traditional royalty, apart from society, which generates neuroses at a high rate.

Yeah I did what I could, I'm not upset by that, the problem is the uncertainty now!

Third round interview, just finished the evals, seems like I did about average, they're gonna hire 16/36 of us, so now I get to spend the next month stressing because I didn't fuck it up too bad to not care, or ace it enough to be guaranteed.

A small caveat, the losses were due to small fast boats which were "creatively" equipped with SS-N-2 Styx Anti Ship Missiles, which presents somewhat of an issue considering just the missile itself is 2.6 tons, not including launchers or fire control.

Unc.

Reservist basic if anything here is tougher than the active one because the timelines are so compressed, you're covering months worth of content in either a month or 8ish weekends, I coincidentally saw both and the weekend basic guys genuinely slept 2-3 hours a night with full workweeks ahead.

Tbf I think up here we have unit Padres who are mostly all Christian but they really stay out of people's way other than to announce if/when voluntary services are, which I liked because my apostate ass got some time to catch up on cleaning my C9 LMG lol

Yeah that's definitely not how it goes up here lol, much more secular, I'm an atheist and basically the only time in my entire service it mattered or was ever considered was my religion code on my dog tags for type of burial and whether I took the solemn affirmation or religious oath when I joined.

That's a thing that always came up when we were working with the US military.

Nothing official, but some of them, they'd try to get us in on prayer circles and get kinda preachy/pastoral addressing mixed US/CAN bodies of troops which I guess they're used to but that would certainly not fly with us

And with the navigation systems the jets have she almost certainly knew at least roughly where she was gonna come down

Walking off punching out of an aircraft that was about to be / was hit by an anti aircraft missile probably puts you in a pretty good "Just happy to be here folks" mood

Like the WW2 greats weren't in their offices like "hehe man this one's gonna be a banger for the history books I tell you what" (okay maybe except Dougie Mac)

Trying to LARP if anything makes your speech way less likely to get remembered as opposed to something contemporary which can be looked back on in the context of the era in which the conflict actually took place

You've made it goat
