On my last ship the cooks/ scullery had rolls of see-through plastic that were used as table clothes. We would use that on our boards in ops. It worked alright.

Was it a RCAF service record?

His 'mummy' died about 15 years ago.  The Queen is his grandmother.

Just tell your boss that you're going to the base hospital at Stadacona (They aren't allowed to stop you). I think you want the 5th floor if I remember correctly.

This thread has made me realize how fortunate I am. I'm only a leading seaman, but luckily (since apparently no woman would have me, but that's another story) I'm single, so I have been able to put a lot of money into savings. (And saving money turns me on, which is better than a girlfriend, but...

http://gcaptain.com/navy-destroyer-collides-japanese/ USS Porter and an oiler collided in the SOH. I wonder how the tanker looks.

Is there any proof that Khadr ever killed anyone? The only evidence I can find is his 'confession', which I think was signed under duress. It seems like a lot of what happened that day is secret and will probably remain secret for a long time to come. Hopefully the truth will come out one day...

Could someone check my math here: 12 frigates + 3 destroyers + 4 subs + 2 tankers + 12 MCDVs + the Oriole = 34. 12 frigates + 3 destroyers + 4 subs = 19 'fighting ships'.

Get there quick then, it's pretty sweet. They even have a KFC and a Pizza Hut now!

I agree that Wikipedia isn't the best source. It was the only source I could find that was claiming a specific weapon system was used. There is now a JP article that quotes a Turkish tabloid claiming it was a SA-11, but I guess we will find out what did it in time. According to Janes, Syria...

I can't help myself, but this makes me think of a movie. Private Joker: "How can you shoot women or children? " Door Gunner: "Easy! Ya just don't lead 'em so much! Ain't war hell?" -Full Metal Jacket

I'm no longer in the infantry, but still in the CF.  But no, I don't know who we are fighting. I imagine it's complicated. Wikipedia lists many combatants in Afghanistan.

On a tangent for ignorant people like myself, who is ISAF fighting? Is it the Al Qaeda, Taleban, Pashtun nationalists, or maybe a combination?

Good day, I didn't expect to get so many replies.  My main concern was to know what my rights were and why things are done the way they are done.  I didn't intend for my previous post to sound like an emergency. Things on my ship are run pretty well compared to the rest of the fleet, I think. ...

I’m hoping a clerk can help me with an annual leave problem. I am posted to a warship and my primary next of kin is in Manitoba.  I was given leave to go home to Manitoba, but they told me I have to stand a duty watch in the middle of my leave, because ships don’t take ‘block leave’ and it is an...
