Eh? I was under the impression that these were two disctint organizations, one encompassing all CIC officers, and another encompassing all military personnel employed with the reserves working for the cadet program, including all CIC officers. To be a COAT does not mean that you're a CIC...

Nope. You missed Fire Control. Other than that it seems accurate.

Well, the thing is, it's pretty much only the Comm techs that stay the same. You can't tell an Acoustic tech that, don't worry, you'll still be an acoustic tech, when acoustic techs don't exist any more, and the new Sonar trade now has other kit to deal with as well (notably Torpedos). Likewise...

Eh, I think it's more likely that they recruited him as an NET(T) because the new trade doesn't exist yet, and they have to enroll him as something but it doesn't really matter what current trade they pick for him. He'll still be going through the entire W Eng trade progression, and will be...

Allow me to clarify further. I am always utterly opposed to people in positions of authority using said authority, outside or the law or relevant regulations etc, against someone else. Every example you stated was about cutting someone slack because you can judge that they deserve it. That's...

I'm sorry, but it doesn't work that way. The local police don't get to pick what is "common sense". They don't get to choose what laws they'd like to ignore, or which rights it makes "sense" to suspend. The only ones who get to do that are the duly elected representatives of the people, keeping...

I'm with Messieurs McKay and Cambell. The rule of law must be paramout. It is not illegal to be a complete jerk at (or near) a funeral. It is illegal to detain people without cause simply to prevent people from being a complete jerk at a funeral. Especially when said illegal act is done by the...

Suffice it to say that this would be something I'd only consider as a post-retirement project :) Plus I can't draw worth a damn unless I'm working off a photo anyways.

Point withdrawn. I had been under the impression it was legal. After your post I dug into a bit deeper, and I was wrong. My bad.

Again, my point is that he "broke US law" from Canada. As he was in Canada, doing something that is not illegal in Canada, he should not have been extradited. He never went to the US and popped seeds in the mail-box from there. No legislation that the US enacts should in any way shape or form...

I won't go as far as to say the decision was illegal, but I certainly believe that there was enough ambiguity that we would not have been obligated to extradite him. I do believe that it is immoral to extradite people to face prosecution for things done in Canada that aren't offenses in Canada...

See, now it's stuff like this that makes me dread finding awesome new webcomics. I've been following AF Blues since about last summer, but I do need to get around to reading the archives eventually. But the bloody guy's been updating, consistently, on a daily basis for almost 4 years. Which...

Actually, I disagree that they did the "right" thing in extraditing him. He was in Canada, engaging in behaviour that isn't a crime in Canada. Selling seeds is perfectly legal in Canada. As American law doesn't (or apparently "shouldn't) hold sway over the actions of Canadian citizens in Canada...

I'd say you have a chance, but your chance is likely lower than it would be had you just applied straight out of High School. If you had done well on your first degree, that wouldn't be the case. But, to be frank, you've already proven that you struggle academically at the University level, and...
