Plot twist.  The Government of Canada announces the retirement of the Aurora fleet in the next budget. 

The house of cards is going to collapse.  We all know the AES Op trade is trying to tread water with bricks tied to their feet. Now this? Don’t get me wrong, an AES Op most certainly should be on that SAR bird.  However it is going to be close to a decade before the AES Op trade is healthy...

Heaven forbid someone step up and say something.  Bad for your career?  Are you kidding me?  There is a right way and a wrong way to address this issue.  A simple conversation should clear this up. The leave policy manual wasn't always around, IIRC it first came out in 2009 (please correct me...

612 million (CDN) for two supply vessels.  Once again the Aussies put our procurement system to shame. 

I think the best COA would be to collapse the Army, and use the funds for new aircraft and submarines. 

Fuck that noise.  Wear the Yukon cap!

If this is indeed true, then perhaps the individuals responsible for dress should spend less time fucking around with gloves and toques (not in the dress manual btw) and crack down on asshats who try to push the limits. From the dress manual.  “Component and Occupational Transfers. Members who...

Rations & Quarters should be lessened to account for XMAS leave.  Isn't that why we have that little section on our leave passes? 

I’d be surprised if someone from your CoC was not looking for a solution behind the scenes. I don’t know the policies off hand, but what is the responsibility of the CAF in this situation?  This individual is on basic, can’t afford to go home, can’t afford a hotel and is essentially going to...

Don’t forget the Aurora that was (or still is) part of Op Projection.  We need new planes, and sadly our fleet serviceability issues are only going to get worse. 

No.  Your leave pass is fine as it is.  It won’t affect your LTA. I am assuming of course, that your are at the same base, just a different unit within that base. 

Sounds easy, cancel the damn contract. Oh, we aren’t talking about helicopters?

Am I missing something?  Guy leaves Canada to join ISIS and we are worried about Canadian criminal justice standards. Most of us on here are willing to put our lives on the line to defend the rights freedoms of Canadians and this mother fucker leaves to join an organization that throws people...

Oh man the Victoria.  The passive ranges I’ve gotten from that thing (all hulls) on battery would blow your mind..  It blew my mind.  Even on Block II tracking it was relatively simple. I’m looking forward to seeing the T26 out there.  I just hope the costs don’t escalate to the point where...

How much time and effort is wasted on these projects. FFS.  Why can’t we just have a fucking boot allowance.  Do we really need project after fucking project?  It’s not complicated, we aren’t rebuilding Skylab here, it’s boots... I’m growing tired of the same old crap, especially since more...

IIRC they are Link-16 capable.

The schedule for this year is up, however the CANFORGEN has not been released yet, it should be on the street any day now.

A Lifeline to Victory is worth a watch.  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107414/ “Paul Devereaux is a second officer with lots of experience with merchant ships. But this is World War II and the Royal Canadian Navy desperately needs experienced officers. Paul is thus given command of his own...

I didn’t think IUSS was monitored in Canada at all (the passive network monitored by UVIC doesn’t count).  Do we monitor the network in Halifax?

The Devil’s Brigade..
