    Submarine Trades

    SONAR Operators and some MSE tech trades (IIRC - it's Mar Eng Mech and Mar El) can come down as OS now.  Remainder is still at the LS level.

    You can't "delay" a posting by a year.  Your only choice is to have the posting cancelled.  Talk to your CoC.  Meanwhile, you might want to review DAOD 5003-6, Contingency Cost Moves for Personal Reasons, Compassionate Status and Compassionate Posting

    Role of Officer vs job of NCM [Merged]

    I can see why you would think this - an OCdt and Pte are paid almost exactly the same.  However the OP would be entering as a DEO A/SLt (aka 2Lt) and thus make nearly $1000/month more than a Pte. Private Standard $2663 OCdt OCTP $2687 2Lt DEO $3644

    New Operational Service Medal Announced

    The dates are based on when the ships chopped to JIATF(S) control - just being at sea doesn't mean the ships were under JIATF(S) operational control. CHOP = Change of Operational Control

    Status on Victoria-class Submarines?

    I did and I was. There was never anything close to a 50% release rate in the Canadian submarine service, ever.  I suppose if a TA team lost a NET, and there only be 2 on the team, then you could claim a 50% attrition rate.  Lies, damn lies, and statistics I guess.

    Status on Victoria-class Submarines?

    FYI - MARS-SUB do the Submarine Warfare Director Course and not other D-levels. Plenty of time left on the Victoria Class for a full career. The crew aboard the Victoria Class is too small to adequately prepare you for your NOPQ board in addition to their normal duties.  Patience is your only...

    SUBSAFE is nothing of the sort.  Remainder of your post is just plain minsinformation.

    Status on Victoria-class Submarines?

    What JR briefings?  There were only crew briefings - not briefings by rank level.  The crew of a VCS is only 48 - why would you split it up for briefings anyways?

    Status on Victoria-class Submarines?

    LOL!  I was there for the SCLE briefings and that was never briefed.  It wasn't true then and isn't now.  Here is an official CF reference that states the Victoria Class "are expected to operate into the 2030s" - either provide a verifiable reference for your claims or stay in your lane.

    Status on Victoria-class Submarines?

    While your posts are usually spot-on, respectfully you're totally wrong on point 1 and ergo point 3.  As an example, the Type 206A are being extended past 40+ years with some fairly minor refits. I appreciate that your service was in the reserves but do you really think that experienced regular...
