    Mess Kits

    There is a great video on U Tube to teach tying a bow tie.  I do a quick review before a mess dinner.

    Are bosun's boring?

    As the Coxswain of a CPF, I can assure you that the BOSN's I have onboard are far from boring!

    HMCS WINNIPEG departs for six month deployment

    I don't think the the crew is demoralized over this.  They are fully aware of the rules regarding taking detainee's.  The ship is accomplishing the mission it was sent for.  If these rules change, I know the crew will be prepared for the added role.

    Naval High Collar White Tunic

    My mistake on that, the Marlow White site was for the white mess dress jacket.  The following site has the "Choker White" jacket.  They advertise that they will deliver to Canada through USPS.  http://stores.uniforms-4you.com

    Naval High Collar White Tunic

    Any tailor that produces mess dress can fabricate high collar whites.  I would recommend Andre Tailors.  There is no source in Canada that sells of the rack.  Many officers will purchase through the USN (NEX) as the pattern is close enough to pass inspection.  A commercial source in the US that...

    Naval Weapons Tech

    Airmich:  VMT on the congrats.  You have covered the MCDV CS (Combat Systems) position very well.  On average, the technicians posted to the MCDV's are happy being there.  The PER's from these units are generally very good and reflect the added responsibilities given to the position.  There is a...

    Naval Weapons Tech

    While the NW Tech trade is not a distressed trade like the NETs, we are still actively recruiting.  If you don't get selected for NCSTTP, there should be no problem coming in as a QL3.

    Naval Weapons Tech

    The information you've provided is not accurate wrt the NW Tech trade.  After BMQ you would be sent for academic training in Halifax or Memorial university in Nfld.  This depends on whether you enrol though the NCSTTP or decide to come straight in.  If you are comfortable with your academic...

    20 meter Beep Test -Merged
