On ship, ensure that the day to day operations of their department are in keeping with the commanding officer's intent. Deconflicting maintenance periods with other ship operations, notifying folks ashore if stuff's broken, ensuring that training is progressing, liaising with the logistics...

Pro: You could get posted to lovely Victoria, BC (West coast is the best coast). Con: You could get posted to Halifax, Nova Scotia (East coast is the least coast). Pro: No standing watches at sea (What's the best thing about being a day-worker? Everything.) Con: Limited sea time available...

I would like to point out that freezing is an exothermic process...

As well, I would suggest that you could use a bit of work on your written communication skills. Proper capitalization and punctuation is rather important. A little bit of effort can go a long way towards improving the legibility and comprehensibility of whatever you write.

I disagree wholeheartedly with Total Recall. It is one movie that absolutely didn't need remaking. It's pretty much perfect as-is in all its cheesy 80's glory.

I suppose it might also be important to point out that the process of the review, and any accompanying documentation would also be protected information, and thus certainly not releasable to the press. Anyone not actively involved in the review process really shouldn't find out the findings of...

Perhaps the talk of dismissal is in regards to the pending results of the obligatory Administrative Review (IAW DAOD 5019-2) that the member's file will under-go, as a result of his sexual misconduct (as outlined in DAOD 5019-5).

Félicitations.

Personally, I rarely did nightly or weekly homework assignments in high school. Naturally, the big essays and reports all got done. But I wouldn't be bothered with busy-work. But, I sure as hell did so knowing that I would get a zero on that work as a result. As that type of work was typically...

My understanding is that you will only be subsidized for a degree at RMC (or at a Civvie U via ROTP) if you do not hold a degree that fulfills the requirements for the trade for which you have been selected. Thus someone with a Nursing degree who wants to be an Engineering Officer would be able...

I second the recommendation for TrueCrypt.

I agree with GAP. As far as I'm aware, that provision only means that you cannot actually hold a position within a political party.

Well, you'll do your Naval Engineering Indoctrination  course, which will give you a basic overview of how engineering departments work, and high level-knowledge of both CS and MS systems. This includes a short period of time at sea on a frigate, getting to know the gear and the crew. After...

I seemed to have recalled some type of regulation that barred entry to ROTP by someone who had already had a suitable degree, but have been unable to actually find the darn thing. Perhaps I'm imagining things.

Always a cold move? Hmmm, that's kinda weird. It's not like someone's going to smash into the ammo jetty and bus.... oh wait. Right.

Interesting. I'm pretty sure that the forces will only sponsor your education via ROTP  (and possibly UTPNCM although I'm not positive about that one) for a 2nd degree if you're entering a trade which requires a specific type of degree (Engineering trades, Nursing, Social Work, etc) which you...

Make (the man)

Indeed, I'm sure the vast majority of rules out there that don't seem to make sense were put into place because somewhere someone did something really stupid.

I'm pretty sure that #11 was actually referring to Submariners, not Taliban. I understand how one could make that mistake with your eyes closed, but the former is more likely to have a whiff of diesel in their aroma.
