Anyone know which squadron is next up to be reformed?

By the looks of things, the Poseidon's being sole-sourced: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/procurement-new-surveillance-military-planes-1.7042751

Anyone have any idea why this is being effectively kicked back until 2028 due to worries about northern weather? https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/mq-9-reaper-drone-canadian-forces-1.7005625

Awesome! Is there a launch date scheduled?

The use of the physical aircraft is a 50/50 chance in my eyes, but something alluding to the F4U might be used, like the California rockfish (AKA the corsair) which was the namesake of submarine USS Corsair (SS 435) of the Tench-class.

Just an aside: Has anyone developed the ship's crest for William Hall?

Hi, just a general information question I have here: Does anyone have any idea what the internal structure of the Mapping and Charting Establishment is like. I know it's pretty much like any field engineer regiment (split into squadrons and troops), but what does each part of the unit actually do?

That's her.

Fair winds and following seas, Ma'am. Rest in Peace; your work is all done here.

Given the recent moves by the government to honour No. 2 Construction Battalion CEF with it being linked in perpetuation to 4 Engineer Support Regiment, wouldn't it be a smart idea to have a somewhat like-named unit formed under 5th Division/6 Canadian Combat Support Brigade as a reserve-only...

Thanks. Needed this information for a short story I'm working on.

So the ship's name is never used, right?

Quick question: I have looked all over the Internet to find information about what happens when a ship's captain boards his own ship while at port. Naturally, a side party is there to pipe him aboard, but how is the captain verbally hailed when he boards the ship by the QMOW/BMOW. Is it by...

Strange thought just came to me when I glanced over the latest edition of Your Navy Today, where there's a small note about some naval engineering officers graduating from HMS Sultan in the UK: If NWOs get their own "wings" now, why can't MSEOs and NCSEOs? Maybe mix the NWO badge with crossed...

sigh Another silly badge...

Honestly, I hope so; that's got to be the most peaceful "war" happening in the world right now. Personally, I agree to the suggestion of some to split Hans Island in half, west half to Nunavut, east half to Greenland. There, problem solved!

If it saves lives because of all the armchair nurses saying "I know better", it should be allowed.

Well, if you want to go for "battle" names, you can't do better than choose fifteen from the following: Her Majesty's Canadian Ship Batoche Her Majesty's Canadian Ship Paardeburg Her Majesty's Canadian Ship Gallipoli Her Majesty's Canadian Ship Arras Her Majesty's Canadian Ship Beaumont-Hamel...

Honestly, if people are SO stupid that they'd refuse a PROVEN vaccine to protect themselves from a deadly pandemic, the sooner they're out of the CF the better. Never mind the whole "refuse a superior officer's direct order" thing, we don't NEED that level of STUPIDITY in the military!

Sad for Suffield, but I can understand why the British are moving to clear out of the area if they wish to reorientate to a more "global" posture; after all, our corner of the world is rather quiet in comparison to the Middle East and eastern Europe. Still, it would be good for 1 CMBG to spread...
