Why does this have to be so delayed again this year. I owe UVIC 200 dollars by June and I'm not really keen to pay it just to get a rejection message from this program.

I want two things out of these CSC ships. I want a deck gun over 100mm and large capacity for missiles than 24 CPF or 29 IRO had. God love it if we could get a cruise missile kinda capability.

Too be honest I'm not sure. It's on Halifax's servers from what I gather from the link.

My fleet chief just sent out a document to the fleet PO1's and up trying to stir up interest for those that want to volunteer to be on the first few crews I suppose. The document was called Concept of Operations for HDW class ships and it's available on the DIN. It's a fascinating document over...

Most of the time no, but then you get the guys that are posted to a ship but through some sort of reason or injury can't sail and get landed to those units for weeks and months at a time.

As mentioned before short leave was meant for a job well done by hard working personnel. So in the navy that is traditionally a ship that had  super busy schedule. But since you have that busy schedule and you can't take a lot of leave when you want to then you end up being denied those short...

The paid parking I'm sure they're looking at as hard as they can, but their is no precendence in the neighbourhood cause there is no paid parking in Esquimalt besides I think 2 private lots. And it was 2 short for either NY or XMAS and MARPAC hasn't had those in like 3 years. 

This thread reminds me of the changes in the west coast navy. They took sliders away from us and then switched from modified daily routine 1500 secure to 1545 secure in 2012. It was all optics bullshit that if FMF has to be there till 1600 why aren't we. The rumor was the Public Service...

I imagine with a crew of only a few dozen people that we're all going to be in cabins of some sort. That would be nice. I wonder what kinda combat systems for it we're going to get. So far an IFF system and the 25mm gun. I wish the gun was bigger. The rumor is the CSC vessels will finally have...

Is this boat going to belong to the West Coast fleet, I heard they've already stood up a command team out here in MARPAC? Anyone have any interesting info on the systems or timeline on this vessel? Wouldn't mind trying for a posting on her if she comes out here.

I found a quebec business that does it. they have 7mm, 11mm and 15 mm pins.

Hello, I have a problem with the medals/ribbons backing. So my court mounted medals just like all of yours have two pins on the back that are deep enough to pierce through the tunic and grab the backer on the other side. My ribbons bar that was issued to me has shorter pins to just penetrate...

Had one back in 2007 or 2008 can't quite remember. Doc said if I had one more it was PCAT and release. Then I heard the policy changed back then that we didn't release people for chronic kidney stones. Now I'm hearing there is a window in between stones like 5-7 years. I'm approaching this...

Can someone please explain to me how the point's system works again? You used to get extra points for physical fitness and still do for bilingualism. My chief who was an ex-career manager also said you get points for "Breadth of Knowledge". Some naval examples of this are qualified on multiple...

Does anyone know where I can find our dental coverage?

Anyone know when we can expect to hear anything on the changes to this. Do you guys think it's getting cut or phased out?

I told myself if I could get through the first 10 years of my career, I would do that last 10 years. For me things are now just economic. I'm close to getting my 20 year pension, I make great money, the benefits are top notch for now and the stability is key considering today's job market. The...

Do you guys know if a service for a child like Registered Clinic Counsellor would be covered under Sun Life or whomever we use for coverage? I'm not sure who to contact to look into this.

I heard from people on the recent ILQ in St Jean that the people who do our medals have had their positions cut from 5 to 2 and the medals are starting to get backed up for engraving or shipping or something like that. Has anyone heard anything on this?

They are just dropping the Gun Metal requirement? Or all SSI's by 180days.
