PR master class!

IIRC, an RAF pilot hasn’t had a combat air-to-air kill since 1945 unless seated in an RN Sea Fury or Sea Harrier. So yeah, maybe a bit over confident.

A bottle of Bailey’s in Sub Base Pearl once got me 4 start pack hoses made from scratch with fittings and pressure tested in less than an hour.

FFS. I’d ask if you’re joking but we know you’re not.

Seeing I was one, I can comment on this. I’d say ‘training for the street’ occurred with a minority of a METTP cohort leaving at the 5 or 6 year point. In my case, that was 1990-91 when my cohort (8501) lost around 10 out of 40 pers ( down from 50 at the start of Cornwallis) to Ontario Hydro...

Did you give said Sgt your best crap hat glare?

So what? That’s the average morning stand-easy.

I was only half joking. Because of my Mar Eng career path started as a junior technician on minesweepers a life time ago, I saw how junior NWOs (MARs at the time) were treated by their immediate supervisors and training system as a whole. Sure, it weeded out the weak and dense, but it wasn’t...

MSEO: Nice, warm, nurturing mentored environment that is team-focused for the good of the whole. Better than the sum of its parts. NWO: Night of the Long Knives, continuously 😀

My experience is fairly dated, but I believe BSc/MSc degrees would be considered against an MSEO application. Interweb or your local CFRC should be able to confirm. My own personal opinion on MSEO's and engineering degrees: They certainly convey base knowledge, but as an MSEO you're likely to...

My current unionized workforce is the physical embodiment of that. Plus what feels like spending 90% of my time on the 10% bags-o-shite. Twas ever thus.

To 'camp' for me. This is better.

That brought this to mind. Bay class minesweepers weren’t much different.

That came across as a bit whiny :)

One of my more rotund mess mates did the same, sans underwear. Shakes were interesting.

What a fckn abomination 🤮

The new ‘blue’ bridge in Victoria enters the chat.

I disagree. There are adults in the LPC who haven’t lifted a finger. The only way JT is gone is when he decides he’s had enough. It’s a cult.

I think the mass pile of magical unicorn coal is tribute to our election interfering overlords as opposed to being used for more domestic purposes. I guess we do get it back in the guise of cheap crap from Walmart. Besides, the evil carbon emissions will stay on their side of the international...

You’re not wrong. I felt we were earning our pay rather than sponging off the tax payer 😀. Being on the NBP and fixing stoker stuff, the time flew by.
