My point was that if bonding is so important to you, why not do it at home too? Because I think it's an equally ridiculous idea as forced bonding in a foreign port. I would argue that many people join the Navy just to go 'see the world'. If anything restrictions on foreign port leave cause...

If I'm following your logic correctly, then you must also believe that leave should be restricted in home port - because everyone going to their homes and apartments doesn't help sailors bond, nor are they able to look after each other. We could have all ranks live onboard for their whole...

It seems that sponsored accompanied postings to Korea are possible. My guess is that two things are limiting the number of accompanied postings: 1 - the US military is trying to keep it small (there seems to be a lack of infrastructure) 2 - it seems that US service members who go to Korea...

Devil’s advocate: In theory, one could go to RMC, graduate, fail phase training, and then request to relinquish their commission. Very unethical, but theoretically possible.

Wistful thinking? RCAF pilots are well educated and generally intelligent. Many have engineering degrees. Presumably they could quit the RCAF and enter into many lucrative career fields like: Engineering Medical  (become a doctor) Law enforcement CSIS Go into politics ... I’d argue that...

Offers started coming out in April of 2016. It’s your choice to accept the offer. If your main concern is a cost move then just reject the offer and stay a NCM.

The accused is dead, so there probably won't be a trial...

Some answers: 1. Patriots (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIM-104_Patriot) 2. Likely Iran (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burkan-2) 3. According to your link the ministry of defence is controlled by the rebels:

Jesse and HT thanks for the info.

I don’t know if this has already been posted but it seems a MS NavComm has been convicted of sexual assault and ill treatment of a subordinate for an incident that occurred in 2015 on HMCS ATHABASKAN. Sentencing will occur Monday. Does anyone know what the ´normal’ punishment is for sexual...

I just wanted ‘facts’. Thanks for sharing some more info. Also your phase I experience sounds remarkably similar to mine. ;) Edit** I’ll also admit that I’m a Burmashave fan and that I probably wouldn’t have passed PHI without his assistance (if you’re  who I think you are)

Because no pilot’s ever been mistaken about anything ever?  That’s the first time I’ve heard a MARS officer claim that.  :rofl: I appreciate you sharing what you've seen and experienced. The reason I’ve been arguing about this is because there seems to be an illogical myth about pilot failure...

With all due respect, are you guessing or are you an instructor/quoting an official report? I ask because it appears that you did your phase training years ago and as Downhiller229 has pointed out, there appears to be very, very few training failures after aircrew selection (at the present...

And what does that have to do with my explanation of how the Seneca program works?

I don't see what your point is? That some people aren't successful in their training? Also, would you please tell me the current pilot training failure rate? Because, my understanding is that it has been greatly reduced, but perhaps I'm wrong?

**edit -someone beat me to it I think you’re ill informed. Seneca occurs under the CEOTP entry. The deal is you go to basic as an OCDT and get commissioned as 2lt upon completion of basic. Then you do PFT. Then you do 1 year subsidized training at Seneca as a 2LT. Then you do more pilot...

Nice try. China is WEST of BC. You can't fool me  ;)

I think this is actually the major difference. If a class A reservist doesn’t want to come to work a class A reservist doesn’t have to go to work. In the end both reg force and reserve force careers are choices, each of which have their own pros and cons. If you think you’re being...

I  wonder how often spills occur.  ST. JOHN’S spilled 8,000L of diesel in 2013 and PRESERVER spilled 14,000L of diesel in 2011.  https://www.google.ca/amp/www.cbc.ca/amp/1.1367954  https://www.google.ca/amp/www.cbc.ca/amp/1.1134028
