The Commander of the RCN had a letter to the editor in today's Globe and Mail in which he refuted this claim.  Apparently they can fire the Mk 48 now.

It's not really germane to this situation, but for the sake of completeness QR&Os do provide direction on determining who is the senior between two members of the same rank.  First, it's by time in rank.  If that's equal then it's by time in previous rank.  If that doesn't break the tie, then...

Let's take it in bits: First things first, best wishes for a good recovery.  I'm glad that a meaningful position was found for you, frustrating as it may be. The role of an ACA is to provide logistical and administrative support, not to be the standards cell and certainly not to tell a unit's...

No direct experience, but you're correct about its purpose.  Interest from cadets was solicited last year (and presumably will continue to be periodically). dogger1936: You have, I'll guess, something in the order of two or three years of experience in the cadet programme which, I'll further...

That's a popular argument, but the fact remains that there's a pretty substantial body of belief among army cadets that they're lost a lot of the military aspect of their programme so it doesn't offer much by way of a solution. I agree that the answer is not section attacks and bigger weapons...

Something that is true in New Brunswick (but not necessarily in the OP's jurisdiction) is that the deposit is held by the Office of the Rentalsman, not by the landlord.  It's an offence for the landlord to have it at any time, except that he can collect it from the tenant and immediately hand it...

If you haven't found this yet, it's probably a good place to start: http://www.forces.ca/en/jobexplorer/browsejobs-70.  Note that not all military occupations exist in the reserves, but there are communications units in the army reserve that may have some of the more relevant ones to your...

I'm not a subject-matter expert on any of your specific questions, but I'll make a couple of general comments: Whatever your military occupation, if you spend long enough in the Forces you'll gain a lot of useful, less-tangible, skills for the civilian workplace relating to leadership...

Part of the reason hybrid drive works for cars is that energy is recovered through the use of regenerative braking: the breaks act as generators and take mechanical energy out of the wheels by converting it into electricity for later use in moving the car (as opposed to friction and heat in the...

Say that if it's the truth, but don't "pretend" anything.

It might be useful for you to understand that a reserve unit normally trains (i.e. "is open") one night a week (not necessarily Wednesday).  Often there will be a second night of the week when a smaller number of personnel are present, called an administration night.  The unit's recruiter might...

Something tells me that if he were sick or injured he'd have no difficulty seeking help from the nearest public hospital, and I'll take bets on who he calls if his house catches fire.

... or that there is at least some lunacy on both sides of the spectrum. Mind you, a left-wing CTF would be interesting to watch...

It's good to get it right, even if you won't go to jail for getting it wrong.

I think you're right.  It looks as if a lot of risk is to be transferred to the prospective contractor.  With ASD contracts the general rule is that you can transfer as much risk as you like, but you'll pay for it on what I suspect is an exponential curve.  It's well within the bounds of...

I was surprised to find out that even a P. Res. private 1 makes more that an ROTP OCdt.  (However, getting paid to go to university is a jammy go any way you slice it!)

The Chronicle Herald is reporting today that the lawsuit against the Canadian Naval Memorial Trust (the custodian of HMCS SACKVILLE) in connection with the LARINDA sinking during hurricane Juan has been dismissed: http://thechronicleherald.ca/NovaScotia/1256845.html

A race to the bottom isn't good for anyone.

I agree that you should try, and I'll add the very general comment (probably the only advice I'll ever give relating to PT) that you may, after a short time, see a rapid increase in your ability to do push-ups.  Some (maybe all) people tend to progress in a series of sharp rises interrupted by...

Each army cadet unit is a corps although, as you note, certain ones use affiliation-specific terms.  But it's correct to say that (with made-up numbers for illustration) there are 800 cadet units in Canada of which 400 are air cadet squadrons, 250 are army cadet corps, and 150 are sea cadet corps.
