7 Deck is standing on the bottom of the SONAR Transducer Dome - below the keel. Been there, done that.

Another picture with one of the 'rif-raff' that showed up to watch.

For reference, the space I'm in is literally right on the keel - the round fitting by my left knee is the port Doppler speed log transducer. Here's the outside view.

It was something that I asked (not forced) my junior sailors to do with me when the space was open and being worked in. Few got to the very bottom. It is a distinctly uncomfortable space to work in. As for the mast? I've worked the SG-180 platform level many times including working on a...

As a CSE guy, I was everywhere on a ship just to work on my gear. I made it a point on every ship I was on to get into every space at some point. I did not enter tanks, however I've been everywhere else. HMS work happening? Down through the SONAR trunk into the canoe - literally standing...

"All Challenges Squarely Met". I worked that phrase into PERs I wrote on the ship.... "LS Bloggins squarely met the challenge of XXX and successfully resolved etc..."

I recall helping Comm Techs troubleshoot a signal feed to the 'special space' that used to be the EMR, and many things that were there had to be covered up before either of us got in. It's a seldom occurrence, but not a never.

CSE Chief plus the Comm Techs....and if you've got Secret Squirrels aboard...

Where is that one being run? In case I need to ask for a spot for one of my troops.... ;-)

Have to modify my chart to add that one in... The good news is that the audio-visual auto alert fuses come in multiple amperages.

The impact of this is minimal for a University Student who's got a full 4 months to devote to the Army - they can do BMQ in May/June, then roll straight into a DP1 and be fully qualified in a single summer. For a High School student, if they're only able to commit to 2 months (Jul/Aug) then in...

Mental resilience is very important. Find ways to tell yourself GOOD things, not bad. In our society, we spend a lot of time focusing on the negative, not the positive, and that tends to wear you down. Find a 'better way' to shape your own internal monologue. Instead of saying "gee, this...

It can be both the best and worst of times, usually with some of the best friends you'll ever make or have.

Joey, Basic Training (BMQ) teaches you the basics that every member of the Canadian Forces needs to know. Stuff like how to wear your uniform, military ethics, how to apply first aid, how to operate you service rifle, how to wear a gas mask. Once you move past that, it's like every other...

Trg Coy CSM for a PRes Infantry unit here. I had a soldier a couple of years ago who was looking for a weekend based DP1 Infantry Course - we looked across the country to see if there was one being run. At that time, 39 Brigade was running a Weekend DP1 module 1 course, but the Mod 2 had to be...
