Information about the South Korean KSS III submarines

I just noticed these two videos about life onboard HMCS Corner Brook. After seeing this I am certain of the following: I have much respect to the submariners for doing this job in a really complex and challenging environment there is no tolerance for mistakes trust and teamwork are essential...

What I like about this forum is that there many people with diverse opinions here. You can state you opinion without being faced with emotional vitriol responses. You will get into heated discussions and people who will disagree and demand substantiation but this on par for living in...

Please remember that the nice clean interior doesn't show the pers kit, ammo and other things that will stored inside. In addition, this veh will likely be in service for the next 20-30 years so there will other modifications will be added in time in the interior and exterior. Like all vehs...

Look I was in a household where the males were outnumbered by females. You're WRONG. In listening to the wife and daughters over the years, I know the kilt can be worn as the main piece or as an accessory :p Cheers

I'm a retired army guy and closest that I've been to the navy is living in Juno Towers in Halifax while on TD. This is an earnest question, shouldn't the RCN operate as a three coast Navy with the Arctic being the third coast? I understand winter conditions in the north will require the need...

Ms Anand is now ordering fed depts to find $15B cuts by Oct In an earlier article it mentioned that DND and Health Canada would not face cuts - this possibly could mean no increases either. For the PS, this could mean job cuts reminiscent of Paul Martin when he was the Min of Fin. More...

When you mention nuclear power with military ships the general public automatically equates this to nuclear weapons and the negative emotions will quickly overpower any rational discussions about this.

As I was looking at buying a RCLS badge for my blazer I came across the RCLS Stable Belt now for sale at the CANEX. This costs $80.00. This caught me completely by surprise. I'm not sure if this is part of the new Army Service Dress initiative but this caught me completely by surprise. I'm...

How about more of this ...

Full disclosure. I'm heterosexual male and my children are all heterosexual. Interesting discussion. I have friends who have an outright hatred and fear of gays and continue to tell people that this community are also pedophiles. Like most people I do have friends who are members of the LGBTQ...

As a politician he said all the right things, if you don't analyze what it really means and ignore the facts and circumstances.

Interview with the new MND, Mr. Blair. As a politician he said all the right things: - PM Trudeau made a commitment to the NATO defence spending of 2% at the recent NATO conf in Vilnius, Lithuania - The Lib gov't is on a trajectory towards 2% (moving towards the goal is not not the same as...

We don't need no submarines, we need Tom Hank and his destroyers!

I don't think AUKUS SSN will be a viable option for us due to the reasons stated by Rainbow1910 and others. There is no political will or courage in the Lib or the Con parties for this. Canada is facing a slowing down economy, huge public debts, and lacklustre political leadership in all the...

I joined the CAF as a Sapper in 1978. I have excellent taste - I married my beautiful wife, whereas she has horrible taste - she married me.

So what are you implying? As a former Sapper I can see my Brit comrades setting a fine example while the smart looking Gurkhas are showing off.

Interesting comments since it was announced that Ms. Anand was being moved over to the the President of the Treasury Board and Mr. Blair to become the new MND. After allowing for the handover, I'm assuming that it will take about 2-3 months before he decides on anything of real significance...

There is not much talent in the current Liberal pool who can actually handle the demands of being the MND. As an outsider looking in, I found Ms. Annand to be a disciplined and pragmatic minister who took her job seriously with respect to: (1) development of a new defence white paper (yet to be...

The wife buys the underwear. She likes white. Sometimes while on fd ex, things get rushed and sh*t happens.
