I've been thinking a lot about that type of problem lately. The facts remain that geography and Geo-politics haven't changed since WWII. The physical threats faced by Canada have to come by sea or by air, with the exception of the US. The same goes for them, with the exception of Canada and...

I suspect CAF since it is aimed at Commanding Officers (which is why it's for commissioned vessels only. Non-commissioned vessels, like the ORCA's are commanded by Officers In Charge).

The DND vessels (at least the commissioned ones) have the advantage of having their CO being designated under the Customs and Excise Act as customs officers. They can therefore search any vessel they suspect of breaking the Customs Act, and they can delegate their power to their boarding officer...

I think DJT must have misunderstood one of his middle-of-the-night advisor: The only thing Greenlandic people are sick of is DJT and his shenanigans. A US hospital ship won't cure that.

Colin beat me to it.

He said "beret" not "bonnet". Besides, there would be little if any serving member that would be from a "regiment". The Army personnel who serve on ships are usually from support trades - cooks, financial, administrative or supply specialists, med techs, dentists, nurses or doctors, etc. So not...

The NCD being fire resistant is exactly the reason why everybody onboard wears them regardless of original element, with the exception of RCAF personnel allowed to wear flight suits - which are also fire resistant.

The system of wearing the Army or RCAF own rank and name tape is a simple matter of permitting addressing people properly. So for instance, a Sergeant would not be called Petty Officer or a captain called lieutenant, etc.

You must be as old as the Almanach! It should read: "I'll take obscure publishing news for $400, Ken ... :)

Sorry FJAG: I know you are serious. I live in the country: I just hate cottagers.

Good Lord. If MPAS goes, it'll take years to bring it back on line.

Well, look at that: De Gaulle was right, and farsighted.

None. They'll be managed by the US. Ah! Ah! Ah!

Once you eliminate the top 20 universities in Canada, honestly, how many are left?
