I hope I am as well, but then I remembered Abu Ghraib. And those were detainees, not a fellow member of the same service, wearing the same uniform and betraying that trust. Please note I am not advocating or supporting such, but human nature being what it is, it wouldn't surprise me greatly if...

Probably just as well - that is one of the best examples of epic fail I've ever seen.

True enough, though again, I don't know how long he's going to survive. In his case I'd think he'd almost be in as much danger from prison staff as from other prisoners. BTW, I liked your sig enough to swipe it for my internal email sig block.

http://www.forces.ca/en/home/ - it's a streamer below the main picture on the site. How up to date it is I can't say, since that's controled by CFRG, not us :) Here's the trade info on the site: http://www.forces.ca/en/job/electricaltechnician-34 BTW, if you were wondering, the woman in the...

I'm one of the electrical instructors at Canadian Forces Fleet School Esquimalt, so I'm glad to hear  you want to be an ETECH. I haven't talked with the coast trade adviser recently, so I can't speak to availability. That said, there are land and air equivalents to the ETECH trade, so if it's...

Capricorn One rides again  :trainwreck:

Pusser hit it on the head. "Ready to go". Yes, techically, coming over the brow at 0749:59 you're not adrift, but you're not ready to work. The phrase "leave expires onboard at 0750" implies that the working day begins then. Engineering watch being told to be onboard for 0530 flashup means, to...

Even in a military prison, where the standards of alertness of staff and discipline imposed on prisoners is presumably higher than in civilian prisons, I don't give him more than a month or two survival unless they put him in solitary. And maybe not even then.

It'll be interesting to see if any of that kind of stuff comes across / has already come across to the Navy side of the street for task force / fleet comms. Not that I care professionally; as long as there's power to into the end-user kit, my work is done. Just personal nerdiness curiosity.  8)

As it's been a while since I was a TQ3 RadSea (back when they existed), the details of spectrum management are a tad on the fuzzy side (besides, in practical terms, as an OS, my job consisted primarily of POTS telling me to get back on the broadcast and mind my own business - one of several...

That would be a camera moment, alright... and if the bookshelf in the maintenance bay also had another couple of Haynes manuals (http://www.amazon.ca/Star-Trek-U-S-S-Enterprise-Haynes/dp/1451621299/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1371225346&sr=8-1&keywords=Haynes+star+trek and...

That's excellent! I'm tempted to add a frame for the Navy, though... water coming into the fwd engine room maybe, with a stoker looking at it going "This f***in' sucks!"

xtreme, the secret of doing well on a test isn't exacty a secret, and you are not the first to have (a) done well on the CFAT and/or (b) think you discovered something momentous WRT (a). As for the question of do we want leaders or managers? Management is a part of leadership, but leading is...

We aim to please; you aim too, please :)

Thanks for posting some excellent pics, Wings.

Day 1 for them... wonder how they enjoyed their wakeup call this morning? :panic:
