Are those prop guns???  :o

This badge is really wrong.  Should have at least stuck with the normal gold embroidery.  This badge would look sharp if it replaced the crown with an anchor and make it black and gold.   I miss being on board for the NBP training it's allot of fun and it gets you away.  When your at sea its...

I was a current member of a team before being posted.  I'm questioning weather I would wear something like that.  Does that go on an NCD shirt or jacket??? And really... "members began wearing badges to signify membership in the elite group."  ::) To many people think we're commandos most of...

If your on PC you can get a mod for battlefield 1942 called Forgotten Hope.  On top of being an incredibly detailed mod for the game there is a Liberation of Cean map which you can be Canadian.  They added some vehicles with Canadian markings too.  Some of the maps for this mod are fantastic for...

As has been said many times before the MCDV's were cut back and that is why they only have a 15 knot cap.  I don't know how much they left out off hand.  I do know that it would cost a fortune to ramp up a refit program to extend the length and considering the condition of some of them it might...

So for all the trouble it would take to stand up a sqn who is trained in bombing land based targets with the CP-140 why not just use a CF-18.  It costs millions of dollars just to get something like your suggesting out of the planning stages and into some sort of operational capability.  Count...

To get back on topic here I think this might be related From what I here there are a few, well quite a few positions for electrical techs @ FMF Cape Scott.  Allot of our PO2's and PO1's have been given permission to apply.  They are hiring some this year and some next.  From what I'm being...

If we got hurt in the forces today and we had a large facial scar I think they would cover some basic surgery to fix it??  If they didn't and you went to a social worker and said it was effecting you mentally they would get it fixed pretty quick. This was some kid and a young girl at the time...

I've been through it with the wife twice.  Told the doctor after the second was born (93% chance of it happening again and worse) that we need to think about what will happen and he ignored me till my wife's head was spinning 360, spitting fire and talking like the devil.   PPD is some heavy...

I don't think she'll worry about ice this year  ;).  At this point I think it may come to a coin toss.  Bigger things are afoot. That's all I have to say on that. From my experience her only ice capability is in calm seas.  That's when the ice machines work so the wardroom can drink and be...

If we vote in governments that pledge cutting back and turning a blind eye to what the country needs for 10+ years you end up with situations like this.   People should get a clue.   We should be happy the PM had the common sense to see he had a big empty plain and was in the neighbourhood.  It...

Just a quick correction for old 7.62  ;D  The E-mail floated through CFNES yesterday so it was Thursday or Friday last week.  All the same pretty crappy.  I don't think a year goes by...maybe not even a few months without a sailor getting the crap kicked out of him, pistol whipped or stabbed. ...

Navy and Air force are really the key assets we need up north.  Keep our Infantry well trained and able to work with rangers and we're good.  No real need to post lots and lots of people up north either.  Logistical service and support and maybe if you want to be really mean and nasty stick the...

They are going to look like baby MCDV's in the water really with no guns and alittle faster.  I'm more curious as to who will man these things.  They are going to be a little more of a handful machinery wise than the old YAGs from the looks of it.  Do we think any of them will make it out east...

I'm going out on a limb here but I don't think we have a Hanger in Trenton (only Zoomy base I have ever spent time at) that will accommodate the tail structure of a C-17.  So the issue is we have no Hangers that will fit a C-17 to do the maintenance if we do any. :cdn:

Can't say for sure but I saw a Pakistani (Ex RN) AOR that looked like it could have been her twin in Portsmouth For the Queens Jubilee.  I would guess she was a design already in use by the commonwealth in the sixties and we just copied her and built her in Quebec.  But again its only a guess...

Why are you army guys in this thread defending this??  No one is asking you guys to wear something that will look completely ridiculous.  I know..I know Green CADPAT in Astan.  But at least you guys still looked like GI-JOE.  We're Sailors here!!!  :threat: 

I'm not against any other service I just really really see no point in me wearing CADPAT to go down in a machinery space and cover it in oil/paint/dirt/feces.  There is no reason at all for us to do this.  Coveralls For MSE/CSE to sail in and give the OPS a revamped NCD that can keep some...

If you Google "Video of Sea Knight crashing on deck" you will find a site with a very sobering video.  The ship is in calm seas and things still go wrong.  My hate goes off to you guys trying to land in any sea state.  :salute: :cdn:

You know Ex that would not suprise me in the least.  I apologize in advance for this I really didn't take this thread seriously I just thought "No way!  We'll never where CADPAT."  How much gas do you have to huff before the idea that sailors in CADPAT is a great cost saving measure??? ...
