 "Hey is this the [REDACTED]?" "Yeah." "Cool, I got a letter for you guys with a lot of money in it. Seems like a mailing error. How do you wanna fix this?" "Send it to the original address." "You mean for the building you're not in anymore?" "Yes." "..." "I'm just gonna look up your desk in the system and address it to that."

The only reason that person wouldn't do that is because you'd get written up for not being a team player or some other poo poo

Not the first time I've heard of mail being misplaced. Like that time a friend receive the christmas card for a general with like a gift card as well. "So what did you do with it?" "Taped it up and noped it into the outgoing mail."

"Hey is this Mr [REDACTED]?" "Speaking." "Good day, I'm calling because we need a photo for your ID." "But I already sent one in with the paperwork." "You mean the photo you cut out of your expired passport?" "Yes." "..." "Just loving take a selfie and email it to me."

Both had their units written in French and in no way should they have ever made it to their desk

Apparently its a huge issue with the veteran card. Too many people "misunderstand" what the passport photo ask is about. Should be the new challenge coin of 2020+, "How poo poo is your photo?" Haha

Says here you were in for 30 years but I can't find you anywhere in our system" "Oh, well, that's because I was a Corporal in the RCMP." "..." "..." "..." "So you never were in the Canadian Forces?"

I sent the legion all the info they asked for to get your free parking plates. They sent me back a letter saying what they asked for wasnt good enough(????) then asked me to send a copy of my cf1 card that says veteren on it, so i put the actual card into the envelope and mailed it in.

Found the problem. For the Veteran's card they've gotten tons of passport cutouts from what I've heard. But, ultimately, if you got a problem I'll tell my bud and he'll fix it for you. *Edit: For reference, the Veteran card is a DND-produced card. Legion doesn't get the paperwork, doesn't handle it, doesn't produce it, doesn't ship it*

Boxed lunches are great. IMP's kinda lose their charm quickly, but I guess I'm one of the few who doesn't complain about dispersed meals. edit: I guess the only downside is the per-diem meal allowance is really worth more. mom and dad fight a lot fucked around with this message at 06:48 on Aug 9, 2020 |

Or even better a per diem deployment like a friend of mine is on. A bit under 15,000 euro for 6 months of meals/incidentals, plus no taxes, plus operational incentive. Plus OSM and NATO medal minimum, a guaranteed immediate deployment PER, and all the promotion board points those bring. gently caress yeah air force.

I've had boxed lunches that were wraps, which are probably on the high end of things. And then you have sandwiches like this boxed daily:
