Sorry, I wasn't specific enough. I was referring to the second scenario. Backpay if your EPZ date is for Lt(N) is before you're done your two years in the fleet. Your EPZ date for SLt is based on one year after you commission, and your EPZ date for Lt(N) is two years after your EPZ date for SLt...

Ugh I agree, total segregation. Which is totally counter-productive to the whole effort to integrate women into the combat arms in the first place!

Oh man that article makes such a classist argument (maybe your post was tongue in cheek?). I've met plenty of rich kids in the military who were also probably the laziest people I know. In a few cases they had gotten so used to being spoon fed their whole life that they always expected to get...

Haha that was a great post... made me laugh... completely the reality. I've probably seen more porn (well music videos that you could definitely classify as porn) being watched in the wardroom than I saw on PAT in Gagetown. I actually turn the music-porn on frequently just to fuck with the guys...

Unfortunately this doesn't happen. I've witnessed it (in the Navy, actually)... where there were only about 2 guys who had insecurities about me being a woman and doing the same job as them... half of the remaining guys got sucked in and participated, to not be "left out", and the other half...

Hahahahahahahaha that comment made my day!

Huh, interesting. Didn't know it was a requirement for PREs MARS. I talked to some subbies in the fleet now that were sent on it because they weren't getting sailing time and there was nothing better for them to do... Their general consensus was that it was a waste of time, but I take those...

I mostly agree, I just happened to read MedCorps' comment that "This past summer all was a good and everything looked like it was falling into alignment.  Then the death notice was issued with the Nov 2010 announcement by the PMO that ALSC / JSS project will die..." and then I found out that...

I wouldn't say officers need not apply... I am one and am considering applying. Just have to be prepared to decommissioned. I met a SAR Tech who was an Air Nav Capt who decommissioned into SAR Tech.

Anybody think this project will be revived now that they've decided on a JSS? http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/berlin-class-fleet-auxiliary-vessels/

Thanks for the info. From what I heard it used to be a requirement way back when for CFCD 2, but it's not a requirement for NOPQ anymore. I wonder who gets sent on it these days in the MARS world.

Oh, I see haha.

Thanks! What's IIRC? An older acronym for NOPQ?

Hello, I noticed a message came out in Jan/Feb for nominations for loading on the Maritime Warfare Basic course, and that as a MARS officer it said junior MARS officer, rank Slt-Lt(N) (if I remember correctly). I was just wondering at what point you would be loaded on such a course (in the MARS...

MARS OM, great to see you on here. Hope you're still the current OM. I just have a quick question, I was wondering if we are entitled to backpay after we pass our board within 2 years of finishing MARS IV. I've tried looking it up in references, and I've heard a lot of debate about this. If you...
