Lighters must be in a plastic baggie. You will then pass through security where you may remove them from the baggie at your leisure. Never made much sense to me.

Just some added info: 1) NETPO bypass will not be granted without a PLA being conducted (6 weeks of being paid to enjoy summer at home sounded good to me so whatever) 2) Pay protection simply doesn't exist. The new CBI outlines pay rates for CFR candidates and in some cases it's not pretty (oh...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IimkffYBAc Good video of her actually sinking.

TN2IC, Thats the USCGC Alert firing 25mm and 50cal at her indeed.... we (NAN) were in front of her in the gunnery line and SAS in front of us.

Nope... ALE = USCGC Alert

I base my assertion that it was a bomb that finally put her down on the statements made to me by CFMWC staff.... if they were incorrect then I stand corrected. Besides, in the DIMS from that evening credit was, in fact, given to NAN, SAS and ALE for starting her going down. I'm happy to take...

She was indeed sunk yesterday. She was not, however, sunk by ship's guns. She was put down by a laser guided bomb that was dropped from a CF-18. It was a great experience to fire on a "live" target for only the second time in my career (the first was a US Knox Class FFG off the coast of...

This is one of the few moves the Conservatives made that is bothersome to me. If they didn't win a seat in Montreal, c'est la vie. By throwing in a cabinet member from a house that isn't representative or elected is a slap in the face to those of us who try to believe in Electoral reform. And...

Anyone who is having trouble getting this info email me: [email protected] That should work... I can then forward on anything to an alternate (read: civvie) email address. Lucas

Indeed... tell Lt(N) MacDonald I say hello! :) SLT Kenward

While I agree ATM fees are the last thing we should be worrying about - the fact is this is a VERY valuable political commodity. NO ONE can argue FOR the fees and not look like a heartless person. We all (well, okay, not all, but most) know that it's ridiculous to even worry about it. But it...

Anything that plays on CBC Radio 3 http://radio3.cbc.ca

I wonder how that will work with all NAVRES contracts being frozen.... If this hold true (very doubtful - and I'd like a source) who will man the positions on the MCDVs? We're about to embark on WUPS with 2 B's so I'm curious where these magical people will come from. Oh, AND given the recent...

Coming from someone who was in YELLOWKNIFE when we rescued the Forum Star, the conditions were challenging due primarily to the winds and the constant heaving on the towing bridle. Jamming the ship into seas for 10 hours and expecting the crew to then tow the damned thing for as long as we did...

As Ex says the RegF pers can't help us there. It's not a matter of *IF* we will have an 8 ship MCDV establishment... it's *WHEN*. Recruiting is kind of irrelevant since we can't keep up with the outgoing CT's, Unfits and MATA/PATA pers right now. Add to that the lack of people from NRDs wishing...

Who will man these corvettes? Certainly not the people we don't have now. The reserves needs to address some personnel issues before we even think of manning a larger class of ship. In fact, maybe we should address these issues before we end up with an eight ship MCDV fleet on both coasts. Just MHO.

Another issue along the same lines occurred here in Victoria regarding the development of the Bear Mountain facility. A "sacred cave" was discovered after it was all but blown up by developers. The solution? The government of BC is allowing them to operate a casino on the premises as a pseudo...

Here's some added CFR info (NAVRES, but possibly related to other Components) 1. You cannot CFR into a different Component. If you are a primary reservist NCIOP, you must become a Reserve INTO, MARS or LOGO (PAFO as well now that we have those). Therefore a PO2 NAVCOMM Reserve cannot CFR as a...
