    Naval Combat Dress (NCD) uniform [Merged]

    My understanding, from having partially overheard the conversation, is that the new shirt would be a "walking out dress" option that wasn't designed for shipboard emergencies. Most of the CAFs "operational dress is for operations" foolishness could be solved by the elements coming up with q...

    Israeli strikes on Iran (2024, 2025, etc.)

    The same happens in Total War games... I'm crushing the world as the Saxons, and suddenly Frisians want a war. Seems like humans and AI aren't that different.

    King Charles III

    I'd love to see that. I'm pretty sure all of the material could easily come from Canada.

    King Charles III

    I'm a staunch monarchist, and I think a distinct Canadian crown is a great idea. It helps to show that his role as King of Canada is separate from his other soverign roles.

    Israeli strikes on Iran (2024, 2025, etc.)

    Dictatorships need to look strong for domestic audiences, and they don't really have anything else they can do. They can't effectively attack Israel, and they have no friends left to help them. I'm guessing they assume America will do nothing, and Europe will cave and apply pressure on Israel...

    AOR Replacement & the Joint Support Ship (Merged Threads)

    Handraulic looks cool in pictures, but after recovering a snapped towing hawser by hand, I can conform it's not an ideal way to do business.

    AOR Replacement & the Joint Support Ship (Merged Threads)

    How do you propose the Chinese or Russians will get there in large numbers, with lots of military kit, and not be detected? They need to stage peraonnel and kit for transport. Then they have to cross vast expanses on ocean and airspace that are monitored, imperfectly, but still monitored...

    Roshel is based in Toronto, might be something to do with them.

    Who needs sailors anyway?

    We don't put our heavies in those waters, and let the locals deal with the MTBs. We need to cross oceans to get to the fight, so our requirements for a navy are different than those who will fight in local waters. Also, we have nearly two decades of experience with USVs, that we carry on our...

    Who needs sailors anyway?

    You know Canada and America dropped MTBs after WWII because they no longer served our needs right? Having 500 MTB USVs in Canadian waters is less useful than 12 CPFs for Canada.

    It's good to see a Canadian company doing well, and providing things the CAF/GoC need.

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    That's the kind of solution I'd rather see. It pays people extra for doing extra, not just because they have a message saying they belong to a specific UIC. @Halifax Tar I'd rather see "casual" SDA/LDA made much higher, but only paid to people when they are doing extra, rather than the...

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    Except the SDA/LDA thing is also causing problems. People request postings to units that get the allowance, then malinger their way out of going to sea/the field with the unit. In a large trade or large section it might not be a major problem, but when you're in small dets of 1-4, it's damn...

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Could be the NDP has learned the lesson that just playing LPC Lite doesn't work in their favour. If the previous NDP leader had learned that lesson last fall the NDP could be Opposition, and the LPC could be the ones who lost party status.

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    Again, I see what you're going for, but I don't think the current generation has an appetite for what you're offering. If the PRes can at best offer a crappy part-time job with a lot of expectations, why would anyone waste their time? Why sign on for restrictions when you can live at home...

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    I love where you're coming from, but based on my very recent experiences talking to the kind of people we want, they don't want another burden/job. When people are working 2+ jobs to keep the lights on, and a roof over their head, the reserves aren't even a consideration. Until the GoC cracks...

    High Speed Train Coming?-split from boosting Canada’s military spending"

    The problem is, why go to Toronto at all? The ROM is cool, and some restaurants are good, but Ottawa has museums and food.
