    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    Yes, I posted to agree with you, not to bring your statement into disrepute.

    Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels (MCDVs)

    For the sake of clarity - the draft NAVORD 4500-28, Sea Command Boards, has within the following useful nuggets: 2.4 Warship One of HMC ships, under the command of a commissioned officer. 2.5 Major Warship Surface warships carrying over-the-horizon, anti-air or ASW weapon systems, or which...

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    Taken in April 2009 in Tracy Arm, AK. The Sawyer Glacier is pictured, which, for the sake of interest originates in Canada. It was all first year ice - varying from slush at the start to 4-6" elsewhere.

    Steveston Lifeboat (aka. Artist's Life) foundered

    I ran into (figuratively) John and the Steveston lifeboat when sailing in Tracy Arm, AK while in WHITEHORSE in 2008 or 2009 - he rafted outboard us for a chat and a libation. Hell of a nice guy

    RCN to introduce new Conduct Policy and new Alcohol Policy

    The extra cash will inevitably go to the ships funds - so your wish will probably come to fruition Chief

    RCN to introduce new Conduct Policy and new Alcohol Policy

    We can (and do) enforce the rules and follow through with admin and disciplinary measures - granted, some units more than others (not everything will lead to a UDI nor should it in all cases). The tools are certainly in the toolbox. That being said, even with the full force of the CSD and DAODs...

    RCN to introduce new Conduct Policy and new Alcohol Policy

    What did the Wardroom and CPOs come up with to mitigate?

    Op CARIBBE Highlights (merged)

    Your unit or coastal PCC should cause this information to be updated as soon as your deployment ends. You shouldnt be ordering the medal yourself either - your unit should contact your local BOR or equivalent to have a MAPS application generated for everyone who is eligible from your unit. This...

    Remembrance Day: National holiday?/"Veterans' Day"? (merged)

    And this bill achieves no such thing - if you look at the existing Holidays Act (federal) he only proposes to add flags at half mast. Federally regulated employees already have Remembrance Day as a stat. The latest attempt at changing the legislation does not change that

    Sailor Derek de Jong and Other Ship Misconducts?

    Just so people dont think we're jamming booze into every crevice onboard... We have a beer and pop stores, properly locked and accounted for in each ship. As well, each mess generally has a beer fridge and a bar that are locked and controlled.

    Edmonton Recce

    For the record the MFRC in Colwood (Victoria) charges 945/mo for children 3 and under and 700/mo for 3 to school age - not sure where the 1800/mo comes from unless youre talking about two kids. Also, private child care is competitive with those prices.

    Reserve Pension- Merged

    I wont claim to be in the know, but all of your buyback should be treated like contributions to a RPP and would therefore be tax deductible now wouldnt they? Thus your new T4s should show RPP contributions that, at least from my laymans perspective, means you would have overpayed income taxes...

    Two Canadian warships collide during exercise manoeuvres en route to Hawaii

    I think, looking at the damage to both ships, that ALG was making an approach on PRO and got too close and got the port fwd portion of her hangar hung up on PRO's bow in the final stages of the approach. She may well have suffered an engineering difficulty or simply "flared" too early. I am sure...

    MATA and PATA ( Parental Leave )

    I suspect that NRCC and PSP will come back with much the same - especially given Occam's point that members on LWOP cannot participate in PSP Sports progammes. I hope I don't get a PERX - I started PATA in late November so there are a good 7 3/4 months there....

    MATA and PATA ( Parental Leave )

    Thanks for the replies so far. To clarify, my CoC is not telling me to come in and do it - my supervisor was just letting me know it was coming due and suggested I go do it if i could. I have contacted PSP staff and am awaiting calls back from them and NRCC. Will advise - thanks again for the...
