Figured this would be the place to ask.

A friend is considering a civilian job at CFB Trenton, but isn't from the area. What's the area like? Is moving there a tremendously bad idea?

It's amazing in both how far the CAF has shifted it's culture in the thirteen years I've been in and yet how absolutely far away it is from achieving it's objective at the same time.

It was so staggeringly toxic even thirteen years ago that when I was describing the common culture as an infanteer back in 08' my wife was horrified at the stuff I was describing.

And how we're still nowhere near where we should be.

The Petawawa hazing scandal was in 1995:

Joining the CAF with no proof of vaccinations (I grew up in America, had all the normal vax's just no record) sure was fun. I remember having to do the needle parade where I literally was given every vaccine over again.

Had that happen when I started nautical school, except after the first batch of vaccines the nurse went �wait you grew up around here?�, went into the computer and printed out my vaccine records going back to the week of my birth.

The PPC is 100% a crank alt right party, they�re thankfully splitting the conservative vote right now, but I wouldn�t be surprised if they devolved in extremism.

The only active CF member I�ve met recently went on a rant about vaccine mandates were government overreach and Americans would never tolerate that because their love of freedom is too strong, unlike us Canadian soy loving cucks.

He�s vaccinated, but he took his last vacation in Ontario instead of Qu�bec because their vaccine passport is on paper, unlike ours which is a QR code on your phone.

There�s value in having a masters just to say you have a masters, when it comes to job applications. Especially in the public service.

And like you said, it�s pensionable time.

Hey we probably have acquaintances in common.

A lot of Transport Canada jobs essentially only require a master mariner / chief mate unrestricted / second class engineer / fishing master 1, but usually by the time you get to director level they�ll also get a bachelor at least.
