    the best thing about the navy

    Like anything in the military, it is what you make of it. If you sign up with a good attitude and are willing to put in a little effort you can have the time of your life. The reserve navy can be quite different from the reg force navy at times. You will work with lots of great people and a...

    WTF are you talking about? Local watering holes? Just because it is humorous doesn't make it acceptable.

    PTSD / OSI [Merged]

    It is truly a shame. As with anything one person can ruin it for the rest of us. I would like to express my sympathy to anyone who has had to endure what i could only imagine as complete hell.

    The 5th estate: Abu Ghraib and Torture in Iraq

    Maybe I am coming off Anti-American. I really don't see how though. We are talking about Americans and if they tortured these poss terrorists. I think they did. If you don't then fine. I am not attacking anyone personally. I am glad that some of you are getting angry about this and trying to...

    I respect being rational here. But there is no propaganda. I am not heading the anti-American fight. I am not trying to convince anyone of anything. By what you have said then the whole topic is that of propaganda. Simply using current events to express what I see, speaking in spirit of the...

    Yes... With the realization that had to carefully choose my words with you. It is not to say that I am not open to new ideas or thoughts but that i find it funny that no one else is bothered by that womens comments. And the Canadian ABcon comment is to lighten this up a bit before we all get...

    The 5th estate: Abu Ghraib and Torture in Iraq

    Not torture???  By what definition? Who is to say if left unchecked that this wouldn't have went further. You speak of policy as if it actually means something.  ::) You are simply being idealistic.. Torture in Somalia was more that of sadists than done for any direct purpose. Honestly i don't...

    Right off I would like to start with a clarification of what I meant. I have met lots of great people everywhere! I have also had a lots of bad experiences with people from everywhere. I find it to be more common that arrogance is prevalent amongst Americans with regards to Canadians more than...

    The 5th estate: Abu Ghraib and Torture in Iraq

    Instead of trying to repost everything I have stated so that you all can take another shot at me I will simply state this. You have all seen the evidence on the news. We have heard the reports and listened to their side. I for one will say that when any incidents involving the military become...

    How many American units have you worked with? In almost every operation/exercise i have been on, i have worked with the Americans. I can vouch for the   USN's attitude towards us and pretty much everyone else. They alway underestimate us and assume we are incapable of completing our tasks. And...

    The 5th estate: Abu Ghraib and Torture in Iraq

    Here ya have it. When you were a kid you were probably taught that two wrongs don't make a right. With that I said stupid or naive. You seemed to agree with GO!! and that was my premise to disagree with you. It is all fine for use to sit in and Canada and pass judgement. We, as the rest of...

    BOHICA: Pre-election Spending Coming

    Well as members of the military are most affected by the MND it only makes sense to vote to keep him in power. Now for the rest of them....... I am glad to hear good things are coming but what have we traded to get this new equipment?

    I would be offended if i wasn't a Canadian. Sometimes I forget how arrogant the Americans are than I am quickly reminded by something like this. I also believe that we are all capable of representing our country. She did a fine job speaking for us and certainly kept her cool where others...

    Military Waste - Worthington Article

    Lets not forget if we hope for an investigation or an audit, we could shed light where we don't want it. I would hate to see everyone go through an audit or public scrutiny

    UUVs: Applications and Thoughts (a work in progress)

    In the east coast RS office there are no serious intentions of acquiring this system until it has been decided what role Canada is to play in Mine Hunting. We officially have no means of mine hunting safely. The systems we do have are out dated or out of action. The towed bodies we uses now are...
