As I said...once is happenstance....we're moving much more to option 3.

So.....a cargo ship hits an aircraft carrier, putting it in Souda for a few days of repairs and disrupting the Op Sched a bit. A few weeks later, a ship full of jet fuel (of a type probably used by said aircraft carrier's planes) gets bumped into and sunk... Once is happenstance. Twice is...

The Sherman from WW2 was actually designed with this in mind...

Follow the path of W Eng and combine the trades...it worked perfectly for them....then condense the school from a fully staffed organization to...not that....then attempt to train all the junior W Eng folks whilst the fleet is in the midst of the FELEX/MLR so they can't actually sail and get...

Yuck. Red Stripe. Thanks, I'll stick with the rum.

The old story of 'when war comes, you have what you've got onhand' rings true. We're looking right now at wars and rumours of wars - Ukraine has had us send a bunch of gear overseas, but little if any has actually been replaced in our stocks yet. Have we replaced the Leos that we sent over...

I have a better print file if you want one (or 10) printed off....

Kevin, I don't have the Collectors Grade books on the OICW and XM8 on my shelf. I do have a copy of the Ross Story and the others though. The SPIW tale is a fascinating one. (That we should absolutely not follow.) NS

Looks back at history Reviews SCHV Reviews Project SALVO Reviews EM2 history Reviews T44 and T48 history Reviews 60+ year development of the Stoner DI system Um. Why.....? Does no-one in small arms look back at the old Ezell books and see what's been tried already before wasting...

I've said before - the NSS is fine, just 10 years too late. NS

79 I think it was. I got off the ship just before that trip. 56 month posting to the ship and 2 x 6 month deployments...doing that trip would have been...a challenge.

If the CMMC goes forward...let's not focus on having them able to operate the Cyclone...there's too few Cyclones, and crews to operate them from that many platforms. Dig into the museum stocks and jump back to the 1960's and get a few of these...or the modern equivalent...

The problem with the NSS is that it's 10 years too late. If we were 10 years down the road, with 2-4 CSC's in the water, and the first of them approaching IOC or FOC, then we'd be in a good space. We're not. And there's going to be a lot of pain in keeping the CPF's going that extra 10...

31 days straight on a Steamer (Gat) - that was an interesting trip.

When I got back from the Turbot War on GAT, I'm pretty sure all the subs were alongside.

Here's your new Toyota Tacoma. List price is $46,995, the options you've bought bring it up to $52,450, with taxes that makes it $60,317, but we're going to let you know up front that it needs an A-Service every 4 months ($150) and a B-service every 6 months ($350), with brake replacement...

As a jobs program, the NSS has succeeded. There is employment, there is visibility, and there is much furor over the new ships that we've now got. As a program producing warships...NSS has not yet succeeded. AOPS is not a warship. JSS is not a warship. Unfortunately, time is running thin...

Gotcha, so you should have split to a new thread instead of polluting this one. But you didn't. So here we are. Talking about EMS in Alberta, and Toronto, instead of renaming a trade. Big thumbs up for you here...on point, true to form etc etc.

Um....question - how does civvy EMT related stuff in Toronto relate to the renaming of these trades? I'm curious, because while it is vaguely adjacent, I don't see it being anything to do with the re-naming of the trades? Can you focus on the topic at hand, rather than tales of Toronto EMS?
