Your tools will be as good as those in any repair shop. What you don't have or is not available, you will make. Advice however: One step at a time. Your main tool your first year on ship will be something you may not have considered. Remember, sailor first.

Hey, hey!...I was that...on my first ship...when I was 19!

Adam Makos A Higher Call I'd heard the story as a teenager of the Me 109 pilot 'escorting' the severely damaged B17 during WWII out of German airspace. For years, like many, I assumed it was an urban myth. The story even has a Canadian connection. The German pilot, Franz Stigler, went on to fly...

...And, I think you meant 200th...but we got it...

Have a look at the CMs. There was one recently in Halifax involving a student at the Fleet School-similar situation-HEAVY fine.

Where are you going with this? if you are posted to a ship in MLR, you are not posted to a sea going Unit; ergo, no SDA.

Further, it is indication that anyone on sea pay is essentially on-call to fill last minute vacancies. I don't mean unexpected ones due to an international incident, I mean a LS ETech busting his leg on the weekend so LS XXXX off MTL has to fill the position. The rest of your 'indicators' are...

So am I??? Someone want to be a little more specific?

So sad. I remember him actually putting Alex Trebek on the spot on Celebrity Jeopardy once when asked what the premise of his next novel was. Definitely someone I feel I 'grew up' with. Pat

I have The Personal for cars and have to say no issues. Oddly, when I moved a quarter mile down the road in 1995 (I can see my old house from my current one), I crossed some imaginary line in the Insurance Atlas and my car insurance was halved! On another note, we have Aviva on the house and the...

I am not really seeing what the OP did that was overly wrong. He said he saw something he was suspect of and came on here to ask for clarification. And, I have to say, if someone in that dress asked me for my military ID...in the Market area of Ottawa, I wouldn't show it either. I think his...

Or someone told them we were alongside! As for MARS officer driving RHIBs, that's a new one to me. Pat

Yeah but there are no windows. I always thought a screened porch off the stbd side of the MCR by the EOOW console (on HAL class) would have been nice but the CM (Configuration Management) Chief at the time simply told me to f-off. Actually Bos'ns could find themselves 'driving' as...

Your best bet is to decide on trade possibilities and then go here: http://forums.navy.ca/forums/index.php/board,94.0.html ...and STOP DOING DRUGS NOW! Pat

Keep in mind that as of Feb this year, all SE for those on IR ceased so you will only get reimbursed your rent...and that's it. If you are there IR, you will automatically get PLD for your 'home' location. You might want to do a bit of reading of this as there have been some dramatic changes in...

And another was when GATINEAU's funnel almost got tore off during a RAS in the early 90s so we ended up with ST CROIX's. Methinx though that a hangar is a slightly different 'cat' here. I keep nagging my west coast counterpart for an ETR but he isn't answering my queries...now that's just plain...

If you are talking about someone straight off of civi-street, Michael is indeed correct. If, however you mean an exchange of personnel (I wasn't 100% sure what "participants" you were referring to), there actually is...or at least our version of it. In anticipation of fewer platforms being...

Really? That is exactly where it is now but I suspect it is not at the top of his priority pile. All I can say (again), is that people are nudging other people and it sucks that it took so long but a Trade-wide email (not an internet forum) outlining the findings will be broadcast as quickly as...

The trade gets spec 1 when QL5 qualified and spec 2 when QL6 qualified. That said, there is a review on right now so all spec pay since Feb 2012 is on hold. Should be something out soon. I am curious; Where are you hearing these 'rumours'?

There is a thread on this already but I couldn't find it after a cursory look. There has been a dedicated ship-naming committee set up for at least 2 years now. As far as I know, JSS are named and the theme for AOPS chosen. I too like the idea of the first 4 CSC being named after the old...
