Okay this is not a rant, but more of a eye opener for me.
Today I went outside to have a smoke. And I meet my Mo-buddy and talk about the war stories. Then a DND employee came in, lite her smoke. Then asked us snarly to stop using that word. I ask her what word. And of course.. she replied "f***".
So now at that time my blood just boiling so I put out my smoke and leave back to work. Didn't say a word to her or made eye contact. Was it right for me to leave? Does she have the right to say that? Actually I believe she does have the right. But I am not going to tell my CSM that one... heheh..
It's a bunch of army folks..and some of us are use to profanity. I know I may be get some flak for this. But still. It was an eye opener for me. Now just wondering, are other bases around Canada like this? Say if I went 1 SVC BN is there much interaction with DND employees? I know I did the SHARP training, but I found this to be silly. I know what she can do, but still. It is not like I am talking about some girl or making fun of someone.

P.S. Take it easy on me folks.
