Marsh

There were indeed a few. Including one poor soul who at the NOAB decided he wanted to be MARS instead of CSE. Losing his (at the time) $40,000 signing bonus in the proceed. And then later flunked out of MARS training, and eventually became a CSE, making Lt(N) a good 3 years after the rest of us...

Just for the receord, I found this site after typing "Tornado Air Filter" into google. All I'm saying is that I'm not entirely sure your Dad was the only one being dumb here. :)

I would say the dumbest thing I've read today would be a "retirement" message for a 2Lt with a couple weeks more than 2 years in. That's not retiring from the armed forces. That's just quitting.

Yup, looks like it's changed since then. Sorry I can't really help you. Anyone else?

Let's see if I can get this from memory. Pip pip pip pip. Flying stations. Weather decks abaft of hangar out of bounds. Off caps. And now to check SSOs... "(4 Pips) "FLYING STATIONS (Reason) - WEATHER DECKS ABAFT THE HANGAR OUT-OF-BOUNDS, OFF CAPS."" Close enough. :) And of course, I make...

Just a minor point, DND Firefighters are Public Servants, not contractors. A contractor is an employee of a company that has been hired by DND to perform some task. Public Servants are actually directly employed by the Crown.
