This is why applicants are asked to submit a Notice of Intent to Apply directly to the recruiters. And also why a system for redress of grievances exists.

I think there's been enough trimming in QC that we can say that we've gotten to the point where there isn't really any duplication of function between NAVRESHQ and MARPAC HQ (i.e. IT, admin and finance services, etc). Everyone who's doing the minimal organizational support work in QC would just...

The same one that it is onboard ships and at shore units that don't have posted Stewards, I guess? What's the acceptable minimum cut-off for NPF perfection? The army certainly takes a very different approach.  :dunno: That it may be, but what it's supposed to be is a fighting unit with as...

From what I understand of it, the bulk of NAVCOM (the stuff related to IS admin, info mgmt, etc) is going into the new IT tech/operator trade. The bit that's being taken on by the amalgamated "bosun mate" (my term - don't know what they're calling it) trade is the flag hoist/flashing...

I think Korea, Australia, Japan and Spain are the only non-US users, no? Aegis is just Lockheed's brand of C2 system: when most people refer to "Aegis" they're really talking about a system that integrates active phased array radar sensors and a VLS-based guided missile system (and when the army...

This is dated information - now the STD (i.e. the PID QL1) course is open to all trades in NAVRES, and taking it prior to submitting a request to OT is the preferred way to join the trade (owing to the high failure rate, they want to see that you can pass the course before going through the...

Whether you're a supporter of it or not, it's both perfectly acceptable (since we're not talking about "service discipline") and very effective. The NES policy, it's worth pointing out, also applies when members aren't subject to the CSD. I don't know of any other employer in the world (part- or...

My approach when in command was to use remedial measures to address situations where people failed to turn out when directed without prior permission or a genuine emergency. The CSD is a blunt instrument and not one the chain of command really fully controls.

What always gives me a chuckle is the number of Reg F folks who don't realize that that's exactly what most long-term class "B" folks would be most happy with. What keeps people on long-term class "B": - CTs delayed by inadequacies with our 1950s-era HR management processes; and - A desire not...

Amazing how quickly "2,950 vets access shelters annually" turns into "2,400 vets use shelters every night" when it comes to fundraising time...  ::)

My source was the fairly recent (within six months, i.e.) RCN Log branch way-ahead that included a bit on NAVRES Log. Possibly hasn't been implemented yet, or is being subject to second thoughts. I know a handful of LogOs and IntOs who were succession planned at the unit level have been taking...

Hey Mike, As a NAVRES LogO, the course you actually "need" for promotion is COPS I (as of a few months ago - it's formerly a MARS-only module that's been re-roled as a general intro to single-unit tactical planning in the maritime context, with a DOMOPS slant). Maritime Warfare Basic Course is...

NTS will be pier-side and on-water FP, not onboard.

This. But the concept of use is that the team could be, for instance, committed as part of a coalition contribution where it could provide littoral security for a multinational task group that's being supported out of a specific port that isn't deemed to have robust enough organic security...

...who ideally will have been trained and conditioned to cohere quickly with people who have similar training and conditioning. The real shame is that our HR structure's shift towards "a career for life" over the past couple of decades has decreased our capacity to quickly mobilize civilians...

Bearing in mind that you seem to be talking about NAVRES BMQ (not CA Res): the course is actually called BMNQ and it combines the training syllabuses for two separate Reg F courses into a single course (in the Reg F the courses are BMQ and NETP). The QSP (training deliverables) for BMQ/NETP are...

FTFY

So put another way: the "homeless veteran" population who use shelters (i.e. the verifiable number) correlates almost exactly to the ratio of male members of the Canadian population who serve in the military at some point in their lifetime (<1% in both cases). The extrapolated figure based on...

Not at all - New France had been a British possession for over a decade by the time of the American rebellion, and the rebels expended a fair amount of effort in trying to seed dissent there. The Quebecois weighed their options and reckoned that they stood a better chance of maintaining their...
