There was a booklet published by NOTC VENTURE called Neptunes Notes, and it had an entire chapter about drinking. I believe this is the line you were looking for: Spirits are generally served on board in small quantities, generally about 1 oz. per drink. The practice of calling for ‘doubles’ is...

Regarding my statement about RRMC, I didn't mean to imply that we should go back to it, and your right, given what sounds like a remarkable deal with the federal government, they'd be silly to want to give it up. All I meant to point out was that the government still owned it, and given the move...

On an only slightly related note, I was under the impression that the CAF never actually gave up Royal Roads, and that it was leased to the Royal Roads University in much the same way that CMR was (is? http://www.cfsj.qc.ca/en//). Given that DND is already paying for maintenance and up keep why...

These guy's do up some nice looking stuff: http://www.awardplax.com/ARMY/PAGES/ont-regt-blank.jpg

A quick jaunt around Det Dundurn turns up a few regular force members who are in that boat. How could they ever teach anyone about anything?

So basically, life imitating Tropic Thunder?

It was $50 for two people for one night at the Fleet School (Quebec), and I wouldn't call it austere, and it's within walking distance of the downtown, or the Frontenac

This might sound like a stupid question, but will RMC mail you the course material (books, etc) on loan, or are you expected to buy them yourself like any other university?

While with RCSCC LION in Hamilton, we made regular use of HMCS HAIDA which was docked right across the road behind HMCS STAR. To the best of my knowledge, the reserves made little if any use of it. I would think that the reserves would get the same use out of such a ship as cadets. Limited...

Thanks for the info. Will do. Cheers.

Good day all, In my day job I am a civilian ammunition technician for public service, and as such I have been required to take course over DLN such as the unit ammunition representative and the instructional technique course. Both of those courses have national qualification codes attached...

Shy of some sort of trade bashing, I'd be lying if I said I see the joke.

According to the CBI's, anything over 16km's (one way) is claimable http://www.forces.gc.ca/en/about-policies-standards-benefits/ch-209-transportation-expenses.page

Is that not the proper American spelling?

I believe as originally stood up 1 Can Para was issued with high top american style jump boots. They also trained using a reserve chute while at Fort Benning and Camp Shilo. When they came to RAF Ringway for british conversion training, the reserve chute was done away with because the british...

Sorry for raising this post from the dead, but I was wondering what the turnaround time for getting a medal replaced is? specifically for the GSM with SWA ribbon? Also, if a bar was awarded to that medal, how would I go about getting the little silver maple leaf for the undress ribbon? No body I...

I'm CIC and I was given one. upon closer inspection of the website, i see where it says that CIC aren't entitled. I guess I will be sending mine back.

I originally wrote mine in 2001. When asked at CFRC Halifax if any of the applicants had taken it before, I said I had, and was told they would need to look into it further to find out, because it hadn't shown up previously. Three days later they called me and said I would not be able to retake...

I too would be interested in a response to this. I was told in may of 2013 that the CFAT was good for life and that it was highly unlikely that I would be allowed a rewrite.
