Yep, still open, and probably hasn't changed much.  And still makes the news, though it was a few years ago - http://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/brazeau-confirms-hes-working-at-ottawas-barefax-strip-club

garb811, the poster he was replying to.

Thanks, Navy_Pete - I assume you mean asking DHR how many Somalia medals were awarded to crew/airdet?  That would probably work as 90 cumulative days service in theatre would've been required to be awarded the medal, and would eliminate any transient pers. Or did you mean DHH from simply a...

Thanks folks.  I think Blackadder1916 has it right, I should be widening the scope of the request.  I don't need the actual reports, but simply the crew numbers from them.  Even if the source was a classified message, the crew numbers ought to be able to be declassified easily enough.  For...

Thanks for that, OGBD. What about any standard messages, such as CANMOVE or OPSUM messages?  Surely they must mention number of souls on board.  I'm aware the problem with those is that they're likely long purged from any archives. By department is too granular - I'd settle for crew and Air...

I'm interested in finding out how many personnel (bonus points for breakdown between ship's crew and Air Det) were embarked on a particular HMC Ship deployment from the early 1990's.  Would also be good to find out how many joined/departed while in theatre.  I'm aware that names or other...

Interest.  See the NVC, section 52.1 (1) (b).

Good to see things haven't changed...it worked well.  I should have expanded "MS CSE dept technicians" to "Master Seaman CSE Dept technicians" for clarity.  Most people who have done any sea time know that stokers get nosebleeds from the altitude on the bridge.  ;)

My sea time is somewhat dated (1997), but unless things have changed drastically, the only time you'll find someone inexperienced (OSUTs, or whatever they call them these days) sitting on the helm is as part of their OJT package - and even then, the "regularly scheduled" helmsman would be...

Chief cook and bottle washer?  ;)

The USN is reporting that all 7 sailors were found dead in flooded compartments.  RIP, matelots. http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/17/us/missing-sailors-found/index.html

Coming from a Naval Comms background, I've always wondered:  Do you put your Communications Control Room above the waterline, where it's at risk from missile threats, or put it below the waterline, where it's at risk of damage/flooding from mines, torpedoes and collisions?  In today's day and...

Most, if not all unions settled 4 year contracts that don't expire until well into 2018.  As far as I know, all of the collective agreements will still be in force as of 1 April 2018, so a benchmark Public Service salary should be an easy calculation, making the CF wage increase an easy...

Yup.  Full disclosure:  I've been an admin on the CVA FB group for a couple of years, and have been active with them for five years.  Mike's story hasn't changed one bit - re-establish the Disability Pension.  That's it. After Mike told us about his phone call with Natynczyk where he was...

Your view would be inaccurate.  There are just as many people following CVA who are upset with the current government reneging on the re-establishment of the disability pension as there were upset with the previous government for not doing anything about it.  CVA doesn't care what colour of...

It's also poor professional form (not to mention against policy) for a service member to harass another service member outside (or inside) the workplace, which is exactly what this is.  One service member identifying the other as a service member gives this a definite military nexus.

Neither the Pension Act Disability Pension nor any likely future abomination have been tied to salary at release.  The old Disability Pension was based entirely upon degree of disability and degree of attribution to military service. Now income replacement benefits, like ELB, I believe are tied...

Eventually...on the government's appeal to have the case dismissed.

For clarity's sake, the Disability Pension that I am referring to is the former Disability Pension awarded under the Pension Act, pre-NVC.  The Disability Pension and Disability Award are meant to compensate for pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment of life - and not income replacement.  The...

As opposed to using Cialis or Viagra professionally?  ;D
