Since the tank is an offspring of the navy (The Royal Navy and the Landships Committee of 1915) - what would you wear if the naval black beret disappeared?  ;D

Sounds like a good team!

Since you were involved in creating the SSI - can you explain how the 4 levels were chosen?  1.  Going with 1, 2, 3, and 4 years seems more logical than 1, 3, 4, and 5.  2.  Anecdotally many will fall between 1 and 3 years and thus the SSI won't really show the difference between 'some' sea...

Seen.  The regs also use software (Peoplesoft) but the UER is still mandated to be maintained up to date (usually done in a panic before WUPS...).  Is there an official NAVRES direction to 'cease and desist' maintaining the UERs or is it a unit directive?

"A sea day will be defined as a minimum of 8 hours at sea, at anchor or combination there of."  http://forums.milnet.ca/forums/threads/92470.240.html  In your example above, that would count as 2 days. ?

Agreed.  I think that the whole point of the SSI is to indicate time 'at sea' and not posted to a sea going unit yet managing to sail very little.  If the SSI was awarded based on sea pay increments then it would have very little intrinsic value (to me anyways).  I also agree that it will be...

Thanks for the historical perspective on NAVRES ship manning - very interesting.  I agree with you about needing to gain experience in Northern operations, much like was done in the early 50s as HMCS Labrador came into naval service.  This could be obtained through exchange programmes with...

Well spotted!

Here it is: http://www.forces.gc.ca/site/gal/photos-eng.asp?id=232&WT.svl=potd The Sea Service Insignia will be a metallic cloth badge (for service dress tunic) and metal pin (for service dress short-sleeved shirt and high-collared white tunic) produced in four colours (gun metal, brass...

Thanks for that Larry - I learned something today.

I think that you're right, depending on COS date and rank, in accordance with CBI 205.452(3): Subject to paragraph (4), this instruction applies to: (a) a member of Group A who meets the conditions of CBI 205.45 (Post Living Differential), and who’s principle residence was located in a TPLDA...

The dockyard tailor shop will also do this kind of work.  Prices are slightly higher than Quinpool Tailors.

Can't a UAV do the same thing?  Why have manned aircraft at all?  What happens when the enemy jams the link frequencies? Interesting thought.  Can you expand on it? To pull on this string a bit, let's compare the strategic deterrent offered by a USN SSBN against B2 bombers.  The sub can launch...

The U.S. Naval Institute's Proceedings Magazine has a good article on that subject in their January 2010 edition: http://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/story.asp?STORY_ID=2164

CFAO 11-6, Commissioning and Promotion Policy - Officers - Regular Force will answer your questions.  I don't believe that an ROTP OCdt can be promoted without a degree but you'll need to read the reference yourself as I don't have a copy at home.

Here's the data for Halifax: A $180,000 house in Halifax will pay approx $2350 in 2010. Urban General Rate - Residential and Resource Rate $0.702  Suburban General Rate - Residential and Resource Rate $0.685 Rural  General Rate - Residential and Resource Rate $0.679 plus Supplementary...

True enough!  It's also kind of amusing to be commenting on milnet.ca on a story that commented on milnet.ca comments!

It's hard to say without details of the incident.  Were charges filed?  Did you complete a CF98?  What type of investigation ensued?  What statements were taken from the 25 witnesses?  What written documents did you submit?  Were you admitted to hospital?  Etc, etc. If no to all of the above...

Good luck!
