    Definitely would never have gotten her to go down those ones :)

    Some Canadian Forces entry points unguarded due to budget cuts

    There's a metric shitload of sailors who come home from 3, 4, 5 month deployments and go back to a 1-in-10 rotation alongside. Some poor sod has to be duty first day in. I'd give my left nut to be in 1 every 2 or 3 months.

    Harper wants a pretty white plane ...

    Lose the blue from the paint scheme and yes, I'd call it an updated version of the classic RCAF / early CAF Air Transport colours. But the huge amounts of blue just scream "Conservative Party" to me. Blue is not one of our national colours, and the blue used isn't even RCAF blue. As for the...

    Fitness for Operational Requirements of CAF Employment ( FORCE )

    Ditto. It's a requirement of service, not an extra pat on the back. What you 'get' is not being released for inability to meet universality of service.

    Marine engineer mechanic academics requirements

    One thing to bear in mind is that the math phase most tech trade QL3 is meant to be a refresher of what you know. Case in point, the electrician QL3 math phase is a whole 12 periods of instruction, and there is nothing on it which is not covered in HS GR10 math. However, you will start taking...

    D-Day Anniversary ....

    A very heartfelt salute to those who were there and set the standard for us who followed.

    And the answer is yes, it is accessible. As someone noted above, you have to download and install the Unity SCO web player plugin for whichever flavour of browser you use, but once that's done, it works fine. It did seem to me to take longer to download the actual app once Unity was installed...

    Can naval personnel acquire jumpwings?

    Damn, beat me to it :) He still owes me a signed copy of that pic, too. :D

    The Going To Esquimalt Thread- PAT, PMQ, Etc.- Merged

    NEIP - Naval Environment Indoctrination Program; was instituted a few years ago to help use up the time of youngsters (rank-wise) on PAT and doing George jobs while they wait for trade or NETP courses. Too many were being allowed to goof off early in the day and then going downtown and getting...

    The Threat of Modern Piracy- A Merged Thread

    COs of ships need to regain the authority to try pirates when and as captured, and if found guilty, execute them.

    Not quite - 10 mess is still the old one, not split into 10 and 20 mess, and the JRs mess is the old layout. The new 'ensuite' for 9 mess is right, but the layout of the now reduced P2 washplace on 3 deck is wrong, including door location. The other faults are quite minor - MSE office layout is...

    Well, if the tri-service badge referenced here is the metal one, then that would indeed be the cornflake :-)

    AOR Replacement & the Joint Support Ship (Merged Threads)

    You'd like to think Sea Trg would actually listen to the section heads and CHODs about systems and capabilities, wouldn't you? :)

    Law enforcement pushes for power to swab for DNA on arrest

    "Nothing to fear = nothing to hide" and now "Just don't get arrested for any serious crime." Frankly, Mr. Monkhouse, I could give a damn about making life easier for LEOs. By virtue of their duties they already enjoy powers, both de facto and de jure, that exceed those of regular citizens, and...
