Your last line ref C&PO's, could you elaborate? I agree with you on the Officers and the work load and responsibility they carry on a Ship. Not to mention the myriad of messages, to write, check, have the XO's pen slice and dice. Rewrite. Look at the role of PO1 Director's with the...

I see the repetition of tasks at all levels a factor such as WUPS, OTT Cleaning stations (which are never good enough), Duty watches  etc. etc. It is just nonstop plus all the admin (PDR's, Div Notes) The ports are getting repetitive as well, with Norfolk, Boston, St John's the norm. Our...

GO ARMY!

The Pink Palace is now on top of the old Stadacona "Haunted" Hospital

We have one elite unit the JTF. The Airborne did not get an additional allowance.  My Dad didn't get extra pay when the truck came through the PMQ's broadcasting "SNOWBALL x3" in Germany. He was into work within the hour and no beeper. If my ship gets recalled to do a drug bust or SAR we are...

Leave the ARMY alone in Afghanistan for the love of God!! The Navy: a. we lose more small arms in the sea during Boarding Ops getting caught up in rigging, b. we go to Amsterdam, Carribean, South America and have drug issues (see NATO VDQ personnel drug tests), c. Have our own security IT...

I have my opinion and its that JTF2 shoud be only entitled to SOA. sorry forum....

FOA, PARA Pay? Whats next for SOA for HUMINT, CP Op etc? My answer is still no. But that's my opinion.

HFX are you insinuating that the Operators of CSOR do not deserve an extra allowance for the hardships they entail? Answer: yes

Thanks for the response. G2G Now for a Naval Yarn: It has been mentioned that at some meetings (Fleet Week etc.) that the Naval Boarding party should receive an additional allowance. The whole senior audience groaned in unison. I just wonder where its going to stop? CSOR, DART, NBP, Scullery, GD?

A question: If a volunteer of CSOR was a receiving spec pay for his trade. Would they still receive it as a member of CSOR. If CSOR makes the same money as JTF2 assaulter, what makes being at the Farm anymore elite. I do not think CSOR should be entitled to the same compensation as JTF2. My...

Please post me to that ship. I could use a break.

My policy is the afternoon off if they have deserved it and nothing significant is happening. It is not a given right.

The Canadian Navy wants to act like a AEGIS class Navy, with 25 year old radars bought from a Dutch flea market with departments of 6 people, that have remars of 12.(an example) Our techs can only do so much! It is hard to get people to stay, when you have to do the same expected tasks with...

These calendars are being sold at the Canex Windsor Park for 20 dollars. They are legit and of a high quality.

the 76 days was one of the three patrols we did for a culmination of 7 months. But it is irrelevant.

OP APOLLO Roto 0 , we spent 76 days at sea straight. Then our duty watches alongside then no HLTA. It was hell and it sucked. But we got 2000 dollars in lieu which made up for it. (in retrospect) Doing our NATO last year, key positions were not entitled to HLTA and it was the biggest...

I agree! A break is needed and warranted but shouldn't be expected if operational reasons preclude it. I look at it at a year long deployment and a HLTA or time home is bonus.

All Director (ORO, SWC, ASWC, SAC) positions including EWS. Plus the specialty Engineering types ( I am not exactly sure of the Cert Level)
