The constabulary nature of what the AOPS are designed for has long been a discussion point in the RCN and on these boards.  E.R Campbell has often opined eloquently about whether these could and should be tasks of the RCMP, CCG, etc and the policy issues that complicate those proposals along...

A Captain in the USN, so it looks like he got promoted 3 ranks since the first movie

Agreed, but I suspect such a directive might play out as follows: -Said statement makes its way into the MSM, likely through social media such as Reddit -DND does a poor job of explaining to a largely disinterested, ignorant public (albeit one that is chomping at the bit to rage at something...

And I think the compensation and benefits differences  reflect that.  I've done 5 Cl B moves....not because I wanted to but because NAVRES ordered me to, if I wanted to stay employed.  I got 1000 dollars as my move grant.  I forget what RegF folks get...a half months pay or something?  There are...

You wouldn't think so, however, and I am purely speculating here based on him being on Class C service, but I have twice had to go from the RPSR (reserve pay system) to the CCPS (RegF pay system) and both times I wasn't paid for months except thru advances. My very limited understanding is...

Every one of those reasons is valid, but still requires someone in the CoC to approve the signing of a pay sheet outside the authorized Admin/Trg nights.  I authorized everyone of those situations at various points in my tenure as a member of the Cmd Team, and also made sure the Day Staff was...

I was on watch in Provider at the time.  Heard about the blocks, and the poor fella (sea cadet?) who caused the Bomb Threat org to be closed up.  Im not suggesting that it was anything close to what the CBC was reporting on it, but I still think we have lost nothing by taming down that Ceremony...

;D  Yeah, because I believed the bullshit from you and the Cox'n  that "yeah, the CO is always a tadpole, no matter how many times they've crossed the line".  Can't believe I fell for that.  Was much more fun the next year when I was King Neptune though...but yeah, you might recall that we had...

My experience was in HMCS Saskatchewan in '91.  I was an OSBN. This was just prior to women being allowed to serve at sea in the RegF.  The 'threat' was sodomy with a marlin spike.  Nothing ever came of it, at least for me, except a lot of a sweating bullets for 7 days and a lot of relief on the...

Agree with your post, Furniture. I've had to risk manage a sailor with a heart condition, who was still fit to sail but not to participate in DC. Someone else who has a soft tissue injury while underway, also not fit for DC/bunker gear. And several sailors, concurrently, who were not even...

The first ship I sailed in was commissioned under a King...just sayin  :nod:

Nothing at all inflammatory, HT.  ;D  Apologies that it sounded that way.  I am simply privy to 'some' of what I would consider to be JM's very storied career.  He is certainly too humble and professional to go into the details on this net, but I stand by my assertion that it is indeed 'epic'...

:rofl: Knowing JM in real life, I would love nothing more than to see his response publicly posted on this board.  It would be, without a doubt,  the most epic thing I have read all year.  :nod: Knowing JM in real life, I have no doubt that it will be handled via PM with the class and grace...

Bah,  I just put my hands in my pockets.  Used to drive my Coxswain apoplectic.  ;D  It helped (me, that is) that I was the ship's CO...which made him even crazier.  It was indeed good to be king

I would agree you are correct.  Just today the CBC has a eloquent and well written analysis/opinion piece on exactly that.  Your post is coming across as just another dickhead troll though, that's what TheHead docked you milpoints for, I think.  Your post is why this particular board/thread...

Just FYI, we are calling them NTOG these days -  changed Maritime to Navy at some point recently. You might find more info about them by using NTOG as the search term

;D smoked tomatoes sounds awesome!

Absolute, and most definitely 'unacceptable' savagery How can one advocate for nothing less than a wood-fired oven in one sentence and then suggest using a...gasp... microwave for reheating purposes??  Why not just throw that slice of pizza against the wall and drop in a sink full of dirty...

When you use the words "say again" in the middle of a conversation, and "Roger Out" at the end of it....

This...Constantly. In a similar vein...when I am trying to turn right at an intersection, and I can't find decent space to merge between the passing cars...and I yell at them to "Close to Standard Distance!"  (Also a Navy one) :D
