I too, have had a hesitancy to stay out of this thread although I have discussed it with my peers as it is of an interest to me.  My grandfather was taken a POW in 1941 off the coast of Malaysia after his ship was attacked and sunk by the Japanese and remained a POW until his camp was...

Mich, you forgot the mental trauma that the missing chocolate on the pillow caused the member to become catatonic.  I heard that the person affected has now just started to respond to hearing his name.  Poor, poor guy. 

Congrats Mind, it's been a long time coming...well done for being patient. 

Well, strangely enough a charity status is restricted to a minimum amount of the organization's plans and spending on politicking and lobbying. One might want to question whether any of these orgs have surpassed that time/resource allotment/or subject matter...

George, you are spending too much time in Trenton...LOL 

Actually, The Stone Frigate of RMC is a building left over from when the area was officially a Royal Dockyard.  As Rhibwolf sets out, the actual building being referred to as the Stone Frgate was a naval wharehouse.  Sounds like the Ocdts, didn't do their reading of Richard A. Preston, Canada’s...

One of my favourites was the First Officer saying, "Righty, gels, we're going to learn how to march with a 32 inch stride in a skirt with a 28 inch hemline and do it in high heels. Come on gels, leg it!".

Lest We Forget A prayer said at the Task Force Frigate Service after the loss of the Sheffield (Composed by a sailor in the Task Force) Though the mysteries of life and death are hidden from us Lord, do not forsake, we pray, those who grieve for their dead. In these dark hours grant them...

Bruce: I'm hearing the twilight Zone music playing now...after doing the entire household's boots and shoes, polishing the brasses and silver, my hands would be stuck in the polishing position so I'd do the dishes to relax the hands...LOL When I was at school and writing for hours, I'd get up...
