Recently I have noticed that several units in the fleet and on base have personnel doing trials on new clothing.  I only know of two.  Black T-shirts for under our NCD's and while doing a tour on the St John's I notice on the bulletin board in the ET shop referenced two people doing a sock...

Sadly though we have put our requirements on the back burner for so long these ships will be lucky to make the 4 years they are calling for (let alone 6 to 8 more years).  We are in very rough shape now 40 years is pushing twice the expected life.  We can't expect much more out of our older...

Wow...thats all I have to say.

Its not meant to be bashing its my opinion based on my experience which seems is different from yours. Bashing would be implying they are inherently evil and bent on world domination. Something I don't believe.  I know the US is not the only one that has friendly fire incidents.  I understand...

These pilots were not under any extreme stress.  No missiles where pointed at them no one was shooting at them.  If there was they had every right to turn and bring the wrath of god down on what ever chose to shoot at them.  They for all that the video showed they were close to ending the...

I'm out of my lane a bit here.  I would appreciate any feed back from anyone in our AF as to what they would do if they had a wing man point out big orange panels on vehicles??  Like a CF-18 pilot past or pressent or any fast movers for that matter.  I do think they have to stop giving these...

This was posted somewhere else about Sailor to English translation.  I Couldn't find the thread again but thought this was a better home.  We would get this before most of the others would.  It leans heavily to the US Navy but I was laughing at allot of it.  :dontpanic...

For the love of Pete someone get that man the Order of Canada!! 100% true canadian.. :salute:

Lots of Blue my first ship and one of my more memorable trips.  Thought the whole thing kinda fit the name. :cdn:

An MCDV has an issue with many enclosed void spaces behind panels and bulk heads.   In a ship board fire, those spaces could be a nightmare to overhall.  That would be my main concern with MCDV's civi spec stuff.  For the the 280's and most importantly for the CPF's Our cost is greatly...

Should be able to lock and load right away.  The only thing the oil should contribute is more smoke from the barrel and housing.

*Bump* I again have resurrected an old thread bah ha ha ha. I had the opportunity this week to be lectured in EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) and EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility).  In that time we had a guest speaker who cleared the fog away from things we do all the time that we are...

I have ADD and DND gave me a hard time when I joined back in the late 90's.  I had to prove that I was a mentally stable individual on and off my meds.  I voluntarily dropped the meds got many references from specialist and employers and MP's and finally got in the forces.  Did my job 100% for...

Its one thing when leave expires for the entire ship at 2am or 4am or what ever.  It is quite another when your 24 or 25 have a wife a kid and are told that the you need to be back by midnight.  Meanwhile the pub your leaving has the other OD's drinking there faces off till sun up.  Only...

I think I was one of the last bunch of people to get Cinderella leave.  2002 first foreign port ever Gibraltar and they set down Cinderella leave for all the OD's without there OSQAB.  Bunch of  :threat:  And i was the Mid 20's married family guy.  They really knew how to make you feel 12...

After watching last night and thinking about it this series is still really running parallel to the old one.  The same thing happened Galactica finds ruins which helps it find Earth and recapture Baltar.  If they make a main character like Starbuck a Cylon this series takes a hard right turn and...

listing to the radio this morning and caught this.  Thought it was interesting and a little scary. Sat Jan 20, 2:06 AM TAIPEI (AFP) - Taiwan has expressed concern after rival China reportedly shot down a space satellite for the first time, saying the act would negatively affect peace between...

Its amazing how three months before March31st everyones buggets get frozen and the head shed is screaming "my god where are we going to get money for that!!!"  Then March rolls around and they are screaming "my god how are we going to spend all this money by April!!!" :dontpanic:

This would make to much sense.  Why can't the CF combine our benefits with that of our spouses and families and give one card with all our info (magnetic strip 20th century invention)?  This would enable us to enter any major pharmacy chain have our card swiped and get drugs for us and our...

To get this back to Subs. I was thinking again. I know I should stop doing that :)    It seems that the undersea threat level in the Atlantic is going down while the threat level is increasing in the pacific from China and North Korea.  I say this after reading the article in the Mil current...
