A relatively new thing, ships have to report that all PM on critical equipment is completed-This is reported to F3 Eng and N37. IF specified critical maintenance (What was deemed critical was built from a matrix over the last couple years) is not done, risk assessments must be done explaining...

I started to respond to this but stopped myself thinking maybe I was off base. You must remember that you are sailing on a warship, not a Laker, not a Container ship, not even a Coast Guard vessel. The term 'best engineering practise' is most definitely used day to day. Safety is always...

It is with great despair I announce the passing of Fred on Saturday morning after a 2 year on-again, off-again battle with cancer. Fred joined the Navy as a Bos'n in 1962 and told me the story once that when he reported to his first ship (INCH AARON)  in early October 1962, it sailed 30 minutes...

This is happening in Halifax too and now with A Galley closed, everyone is being fed from the same area though Officers have a separate Dining Area. There was some resistance at first from some as people were naturally wandering into areas they shouldn't have but we have to learn to live with it...

MAR ENG do get Machine Shop training as part of their QL5 (12 weeks I believe) with the phase culminating in the construction of various valve parts. (It used to be the construction of all the components to construct a working heat engine). If a student achieves 80%+ and is recommended by shop...

I don't want to put any details out yet as they may be nothing more than back room Parliamentary discussions but has anyone else heard anything about a proposed change to CFSA specifically a change from 'best 5 years' to 'something else'?

Battle Honours: Atlantic, 1945; North Sea, 1945. Heraldry of badge: A diamond shaped lozenge containing a gold ducal coronet (crown) through which springs a sprig of three maple leaves. All this on a field of wavy blue and white lines. The lozenge refers to the ship itself, the maple leaves to...

I have responded to your PM... Pat

Agreed...and brotherhood does not stop at the 'combat arms jobs'. Like anything else in life, it is what you make of it but I think it is because you share so much whether deployed or working in an 8-4 posting (are there any of those left!). Everything that happens in the work place, good and...

For those who have not heard, it is with heavy heart that I am obliged to inform you of the following: The Mar Eng community, the Navy, the CAF and this country lost two great people this week. On Wednesday morning, Chief Burnett died from injuries sustained in a vehicle accident on the way into...

Now that I think about it, it is one second vice one minute. If (as the QR&O states), the last minute is 2400 and the first is 0000, these are actually the same 'second' in time (As the last statement in your reference quote below indicates). Now you have me all buggered up in this heat! That's...

Agreed and if it really does say that (and I am not doubting you), then essentially we are adding one minute to every 24 hour period - 2400 and 0000 are the same time-That could explain a few things that come out of Ottawa! Pat ...and ya, that same song started running through my head too...

For NCMs, I have an update (a positive one for a change!) in the NCM PME thread. It will also (for this FY anyway) answer the question in the previous post. I am hearing of some NCMs being turned down by RMC. The only reason I can think of is that Officers have the priority and if there are a...

A bit more info (positive for a change). Rather than sift through, I have copied and pasted an email I sent out to my Unit yesterday morning. It centres on the contents of 2 emails which started getting circulated late Thursday. I also visited the PSO Office in Halifax yesterday morning and they...

First off, very few CF trades training courses have DIRECT civilian equivalents. Also, just when we started working informally with TC (Transport Canada) for hard Navy trades, IMO (International Maritime Organization)changed the rules and so working with TC is in abeyance right now. I am not...

Why would they wear their husband's rank? I always thought wives were atleast one rank higher than their spouse??!!

I had heard that too. There used to be a show on A&E Sunday mornings sort of like Biography but it was for musical groups. They had Ann and Nancy in the studio and that reference came up then too. One of the people interviewed for the segment was Robert Plant and I am pretty sure he too used it.

The Maritime Command Museum (near the Chapel) has it for sale too. I saw a copy in the display case yesterday when I was there.

'Most' places leasing to DND/gov't employees (in Ottawa anyway) are aware of this and should have one ready to add. I actually looked for my rental agreement from when I was in Ottawa (I am anal about keeping stuff like that!) but couldn't find it. If you don't get a response in the coming days...
