    "Statement of Defence Ethics: Integrity DND employees and CF members shall serve the public interest by: 1.1 Acting at all times with integrity, and in a manner that will bear the closest public scrutiny; an obligation that may not be fully satisfied by simply acting within the law. 1.2 Never...

    Training Review Board Recommendations

    I'm fairly confident that the military would not initiate a release based on a cease training recommendation from a TRB, even from a trade course.  As for the reliability, etc.. issues for which you may have been removed there is a process for that called Remedial Measures, (I/C, RW, C&P then...

    Training Review Board Recommendations

    A TRB will simply send a recommendation to the OIC or Commandant of the school to cease training.  If the recommendation is upheld then it is also sent to the member's unit and career manager.  From there an AR may or may not be convened based on the reasons behind the TRB and recommendations of...

    Is it time for gendered hair standards to go?

    Disagreeing or attacking the OP's position/opinion is one thing but attacking the OP is unethical.  Male and Female grooming standards are different and it's something most of us have always accepted.  If the OP feels this is a sex based discrimination and wants this to be addressed, so be...

    HMCS Athabaskan

    If I was a betting man I'd say: 1- the damage at the bow was from the tow line, (either before or after it separated); 2- the damage at the boot topping was the tug trying to keep it from drifting; and 3- the perforations in the hull behinds the number was from a 2nd ship, (possibly the Coast...

    Mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut

    Ah the gun control debate, brings out the best in people. In my opinion this incident should spark more debate about mental health care and the support/lack thereof in our countries.  I need to believe that the gun man suffered from some sort of disorder and that no rational or reasonable...

    Which reservist trades have training closest to regular force training?

    In line with the "One Navy", as of this year Regular Force and Reserve Force Boatswains will undergo the same QL3/QL5 and QL6.  The courses are Mod'ed so that a Class A reservist can can complete a 7 month QL5 over 2-4 years.  The Regular Force Bosn's I've talked to about this think it's only...

    Sea Service Insignia (SSI) [Merged]

    I don't think the intent of the SSI was to give other CF member's another way to measure the value or use of a sailor.  It is a simple gesture in order to recognize and promote the achievement of some.  Everyone is entitled to their opinion, I just hope the ones with negative outlooks are not...

    What does "Excused Duties" actually mean?

    I have not drafted a CF 100 for members of our unit who receive MEL with excused duties, nor have I ever been directed to, (not that that means it is/isn't policy for other units).  However, when entering Excused Duties in Monitor Mass it is listed in the Personal Appointment options and not...

    New CM for sailor accused of "dicking around" with milk

    First off, if he did it, he is guilty of a service offence.  What I think is an appropriate punishment would be an uninformed guess, I would hope demotion at the least.  If he was dismissed, it would be a strong general deterrent for others.  We obviously have different outlooks on this CS, I'd...

    New CM for sailor accused of "dicking around" with milk

    I fail to see how this going to court martial costs the crown thousands of dollars, CM's aren't contracted out.  The A/Jags, prosecutors, court officers and judge are already on the crown payroll.  They don't "charge" more for performing their duties.  I'm guessing that the west coast already...

    New CM for sailor accused of "dicking around" with milk

    If a complaint is brought forth it must be investigated.  If I witnessed something like this, I'd bring it forward for a disciplinary investigation.  If this person is going to do something like this in front of people, what would they do when no one is watching?  Nobody wants to air dirty...

    Did anyone say bacon? :D

    The Bacon Explosion is pretty fantastic.  Two pounds of bacon, two pounds of sausage.

    Routine Orders

    Routine Orders are directives to the unit/base personnel.  If you see your name in routine orders directing you to report somewhere, (duty watch, training, hands fall in) those are executive commands just as if a superior officer issued them personally.  Also from time to time rules and...

    It should have little to no impact on your application.  Your aptitude test, interview, and available trades normally dictate acceptance or not.

    Sea Service Insignia (SSI) [Merged]

    All MARLANT units have been directed that these shall be awarded in an appropriate manner such as hands fall in, and not simply handed out.
