I am speaking with a limited view, time wise and experience.  I'm in the phase of my course where we are tracing and crawling in every nook and cranny on the Boat.  I also worked in a limited manner maintaining Windsor through the summer as well.   In my opinion we have max 10 years of service...

I didn't' think Iran acknowledged the Holocaust happend??

Well here is my 2cents on the original question.  I joined as a Component transfer from the Res Army in 2002.  In the past 5ish years I have seen the west coast of Canada and a whole lot of Europe and the some of the Med and Mideast.  Unlike some people I have been Lucky in some cases and in...

Saw this thread a while back but never looked at the wiki link tho.  As far as the curl for the officers, cool sounds good.  Did anyone else tho happen to notice the fact the RCN didn't use Master Seaman ranks??  Can you Imagine PO2's would become as plentiful as LS's.  It would take a long...

Why pick someone Else's design when the CPF hull can be as modified on paper to suit our needs (I think it already has been on paper)??  That was the plan before.  Make them longer and maybe experiment with electric ships this time.  Kinda what was said but why buy the rights to produce someone...

So is that NDA saying that the minister could give permission to say the Bridge commission to exact a toll from us while in a DND vehicle??  That's what I got.    On an even bigger note do our ships pay to dock in Canadian ports??  Service hookups and tugs yes but the space a ship would take up...

I can tell you that we don't live and work on cruise ships and you guys don't work on golf courses.  I'm not getting Sea pay right now and I'm doing the same work minus Duty watch and sailing it still makes sense that don't get it.    neither of us can win this we are all getting the short...

People with time in will soon be expected to pay for parking in the dock yard in Halifax.  I expect on base too.  I think it was a DAOD (not sure on the acronym)??  IT stated it was going to be forces wide.  Today my PO mentioned there was now a CFAO on it too??  Just wondering if anyone else...

Wow I Apologize for the fire storm I set in motion.   Its a fight that can't be won.  I earn my sea pay 100% no NATO knee, no jumping off everytime the ship unties for a crap fish pat.  I do my Dutywatch 2 and 3 stints per month (soon to be 4 on subs).  A duty on ship is nothing like a watch on...

I've seen a document floating around the office suggesting that forces wide our parking is being looked at and may soon become pay parking.  They are planing to set the price for fair market value.  So say in Halifax around 88$ per month.  Is anyone else hearing this and do you think its just...

All the luck in the world to you guys.  If you get spec pay my spec 2 wont be far behind.  Then the SAR Techs, JTF and Cert3 Stokers will need to invent Spec 3  :warstory:  Kind of a vicious circle don't you think?? If the infantry gets spec pay then Stewards and Bos'n will be right there in...

Your a difficult individual aren't ya?  You sound as bad as the bunch I've been thrown in the middle of.  I've been told to dump the skimmer mentality and that I'm not a Submariner yet.  So being in a state of limbo and looking back at my time in the surface fleet with found memories I feel its...

I'm now holding a msg with a COS date of 22 June 07 to the underwater training cell at MOG5.  If you don't like "Skimmer" how about "Skimmer Puke Under Training"  ;D That better??? :cdn:

I saw the frontline episode they are speaking of.  The impression I got was that our people are getting the short end of the stick.  Take some villages water pumps for repairs in the spring.  Call them back to pick them up and find out only 2 of many arrive back in the fall.  These pumps were to...

Hey Well if you want to know anything about the trade all you have to do is ask.  I just finished my QL5 and I am now posted to MOG5 awaiting Submarine Training.  I have 4 years on ship and I really enjoyed my time as a Skimmer.  PM if you want to know anything else.  :salute: N-B :cdn:

2010 is fast approaching.  What better time to get back to the basics of Square Rig and any other radical change in the way we look act and work.  A nice Birthday present for the Canadian/Royal Canadian Navy.  ;D  Three years to bug the higher ups and politicians to make it happen too. :cdn:

Well let me say hello to all the Submerniers among us.  It seems I have been directed out of the surface fleet and into your arms.  I am getting my pressue test next week and I am expecting to pass it.  Was thinking anyone who has some time could post some info in here.  Lets here some good...

While on the Montreal we had three army and at least two airforce clerks go through in my time.  Just wait out and bide your time.  The people that actually want to go to sea like you are few and far between.  We have several ships going on long trips maybe keep a look out for critical manning...

Holy crap every episode I wounder where they can go with this.  I think my wife will even enjoy this one.  Its one guy that does all the voices except the woman and the recruiting video.  He is also the guy who made the logos too.  :cdn:

My thoughts exactly.  I wish more of us would understand.  :salute: :cdn:
