    Naval Deployment questions

    I'm assuming you don't mean while actually on the bridge. If the Cox'n ever tried to "come down on me" while I was on watch, I'd promptly tell him to fuck right off the bridge politely ask him wait until after my watch and that I'd come see him right away to discuss my shortcomings further.

    Naval Deployment questions

    Sit? What is this word you use? I don't recognize it. You don't "sit" while on watch on the bridge.... (except when it's 3am off the coast of Halifax and you have a highly competent "2nd Officer of the Watch" that you trust working for you and you take a seat in the XO's chair and doze off for a...

    Continental Defence Corvette

    Say WHAT? Cellphones (at least when I was still in) were expressly NOT allowed on the bridge at sea unless the MFW was completely shut-off.

    Naval Deployment questions

    This is hilarious that you put it this way, because sometimes it is EXACTLY like this. When you are on the bridge and standing watch, you are responsible for a litany of things (we had to memorize that list), but some of the key ones are safely 'navigating' the ship, preparing the ship for...

    A Deeply Fractured US

    Not that I think this is going to actually happen (I hope), especially considering Banon is just taking out of his ass (as usual), but it got me thinking. US elections are known for having long lines. What if during the next election, ICE sticks to its current tactic if racially profiling people...

    Is this sarcasm? Most of the people who join the CAF don't have a fulsome understanding of what they will do day-to-day in their job, and if they say they do, they're probably wrong.

    At sea, or alongside? Fact.

    Naval Deployment questions

    Are you currently an NWO under training, or are you only looking to apply as an NWO? I'll answer the easiest question first. You will never deploy for 8 months and then one month later re-deploy for another month. It never happens, and it's not even allowed to happen (wartime exceptions...

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    Trump doesn't care about the constitution, and he definitely doesn't he care about "states' rights". I think in his first time he had two things going for him: guard rails in the form of a "professional/establishment" staff that steered him away from the worst of it, and he was "less" senile...

    A Deeply Fractured US

    I had to look up who that was and what happened. Seems pretty straight forward: he thought himself righteous and in doing so, acted like a dick and violated the FACE act, leading to a justifiable arrest. Not sure why that would be a topic for more/in-depth discussion. Is there something I'm...

    I mean, this is entirely on brand, and a brand that is very well established now, but when I read stories like these I still question whether I'm actually experiencing the real world or if I'm dreaming:

    Hey so a bit off topic, but: I was going to make an account and ask this on CGN but you've all scared me from even going near that site. I've looking for a CVA Cascade, but none of the stores/sites I've checked for it seem to sell it in the calibre I'm looking for, even though I've watched...

    I don’t disagree that Alberta has often been talked down to, stereotyped, or used as a political foil; that resentment didn’t come out of nowhere. There’s a long history of clumsy, dismissive federal rhetoric, and pretending that hasn’t shaped Alberta’s political culture would be dishonest. Your...

    No one needs a semi-automatic. Their increased lethality creates an increased and unnecessary danger to society. We should band ALL semi-automatics.

    Yes however, but I believe that Albertans already are equal players in the country and get as much good and bad treatment from the federal government as any other province. I just think Albertans, like all people, are easily manipulated. The rich and political elite out west dont actually care...
