A pirate walks into a bar with a ship's wheel stuffed down the front of his pants. The bartender says "doesn't that bother you?" The pirate says "AARR... It's driving me nuts!"

"Meh" & "Yo" are not very professional. I am pretty sure that the submariners prefer professionals on their subs.  I agree with Pat, it gives the completely wrong first impression.  I also suggest that you drop the attitude if you wish to have a career as a professional. Yes! I overused the...

I hate to say it, but the radio played LMFAO "Party Rock Anthem" on the way into work and now I just can't get it out of my head.

Super

Interesting Read. Thank you for that.

The sytem does not have "issues".  It has "undocumented features"  ;D

Lil_T.  You have given us so much inspiration and an incredible story. What's the latest? Where are you at now in your training?  Would love an update.

You indicated making 3 choices. How much is your heart set on one of those three? Have you talked to the RC to see what is open and research what they involve to see if one of those might also interest you?

Long time coming update: I figure that I should wrap this topic up with an update.  After being sworn in on Oct 14, 2009, I arrived at CFB Esquimalt on Oct 21 and happily awaited my first course (NETPO), which started in Jan 2010.  I progressed through the MARS training and successfully...

When I leave the house in the morning in my uniform, I look at my wife and say "I am off to defend democracy!"  She gets a kick out of it, but thinks that it is actually a good line.  We live in a great country and serving it is the biggest honour anyone can do.  As far as those who put it...

Remember, it is not a competition.  If the board found everyone on NOAB as a suitable candidate, then they would make an offer to everyone.  Granted, that is not usually the case; but you are only competing with yourself and no one else.  Enjoy the time here, remain professional, decide if the...

Lil_T All I am going to say is that your determination and refusal to give up is an inspiration to me and I am sure others on here.  I have often used your journey as an example of the kind of people that I want to work with. My suggestion to getting around the obstacle course issue is that...

First off, my bad on the typo. There is no such thing as a CWO2.  I meant CPO2.  Second, the dates for the next NOAB are Dec 7-11.  I was in the office that is responsible for organizing it.  Hope that those who aspire to be on it will make it.  The total number has not yet been confirmed, but...

Just spoke to the CWO2 who is involved with the organization of NOABs.  The next one is in early Dec.

I have not received any dates yet, but I can tell you that it is more than only one per year.  There are 3 NETPOs on the go right now. 2 are finished at the end of this week and the other still have a few weeks to go.  Once I find out about dates, I will let you know.
