    Officer courses aren't referred to be "QL#". In fact neither are NCM courses anymore, they are referred to as "RQ" course (Rank Qualification, ie RQ-S1-SonarOP). You'll firs bring NETPO, followes by NWO Basic (the former NWO 2 and NWO 3 courses). To prepare for this, you absolutely can read the...

    @Halifax Tar @Oldgateboatdriver oh yea I would never expect a Coxn to do that. I've never had a Coxn come up to bridge except to talk to the CO, nor do I think any of them would do that. I did have an experience similar to this once. We were doing a MOBEX so I went to the boat deck (diver), and...

    Tell that to my IMO who, I'm not exagerating, spent about 50% of his off-watch facetiming with his girlfriend from the wardroom. Starlink is a blessing and a curse...

    Naval Deployment questions

    I'm assuming you don't mean while actually on the bridge. If the Cox'n ever tried to "come down on me" while I was on watch, I'd promptly tell him to fuck right off the bridge politely ask him wait until after my watch and that I'd come see him right away to discuss my shortcomings further.

    Sit? What is this word you use? I don't recognize it. You don't "sit" while on watch on the bridge.... (except when it's 3am off the coast of Halifax and you have a highly competent "2nd Officer of the Watch" that you trust working for you and you take a seat in the XO's chair and doze off for a...

    Say WHAT? Cellphones (at least when I was still in) were expressly NOT allowed on the bridge at sea unless the MFW was completely shut-off.

    This is hilarious that you put it this way, because sometimes it is EXACTLY like this. When you are on the bridge and standing watch, you are responsible for a litany of things (we had to memorize that list), but some of the key ones are safely 'navigating' the ship, preparing the ship for...

    Not that I think this is going to actually happen (I hope), especially considering Banon is just taking out of his ass (as usual), but it got me thinking. US elections are known for having long lines. What if during the next election, ICE sticks to its current tactic if racially profiling people...

    Is this sarcasm? Most of the people who join the CAF don't have a fulsome understanding of what they will do day-to-day in their job, and if they say they do, they're probably wrong.

    Naval Deployment questions

    Are you currently an NWO under training, or are you only looking to apply as an NWO? I'll answer the easiest question first. You will never deploy for 8 months and then one month later re-deploy for another month. It never happens, and it's not even allowed to happen (wartime exceptions...

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    Trump doesn't care about the constitution, and he definitely doesn't he care about "states' rights". I think in his first time he had two things going for him: guard rails in the form of a "professional/establishment" staff that steered him away from the worst of it, and he was "less" senile...

    A Deeply Fractured US

    I had to look up who that was and what happened. Seems pretty straight forward: he thought himself righteous and in doing so, acted like a dick and violated the FACE act, leading to a justifiable arrest. Not sure why that would be a topic for more/in-depth discussion. Is there something I'm...
