OK It actually isn't directed at the rent alone. It is used to augment all of the living difference from base to the next. Groceries, local services and living costs. :) Spend it on beer if you like though.

Well sounds like he has a mortgage. :) Well you will need a copy of your home owners certificate or whatever you have that proves you live where you say you live. Then you will have to go to CSOR ("Pink Palace" if you are in Halifax.)  Take a number, sit down and wait. When you go up tell them...

No if you trade title is NCI Op you are going to be a NCI Op. This is still a few years in planning. One of the major issues will be the divisional system. So they will have to continue to tweak this idea before implementing it.

And along with that thought. You will not be able to pick your trade. You will join as a naval operator and work as a naval operator for 4 years(until your QL5). Then you will write an aptitude test and go through the screen process. This is a reality. Melba is correct, it will not effect anyone...

That is hilarious. Made me laugh out loud :)

It is actually quite simple why they have a rough go of it. Each MARS Officer has a potential to have a command. Thus alot is required from them. So the "old man" works the hole off of them :)

or true depending on how you look at it :)

We have been "short-handed" in the navy since i joined and the only thing I ever hear anyone really complain about is operational equipment. We have proved over and over that our lack of warm bodies doesn't impede our performance. It is actually quite fitting if you look at our world...

Regardless, Canada has developed one of the worlds better frigates. Unfortunately the resource/political support has not always been available to keep them in their best and brightest. One of the only major components keeping our Navy going is the great sailors we have operating our aging ships...

I guess that is why I never really had time for people in this trade. :( Everyone is so ready to say the trade is poor. It is only poor because you let it be :(

Yep and they go to bed after supper :)

Gratz Man, I have just put the memo and paperwork in. If you do it now you can get in for the fall selection board. It is a great trade. I have several friends in greenwood who are AESOP's. In fact my father was an AESOP. I would suggest that you talk to your BPSO and get an idea of what you...

Well we might as well take bos'nmate too. :) There are still NCI OP SAC's out there but they are pretty much only course loading officers.  If you really wanted to compare trades I would say NES OP's are much more like Sonar Ops in the way the deal with their information. You will learn to...

Sure it does. Yarrrrrr matey. Thar she blows :)

More Boardings :)

I believe we were on the same ship navy blue. The Montreal. I was on the team for that trip. We made a few mistakes but overall it was a successful mission for us and we all came back with our fingers and toes. :) It was a great experience. I encourage anyway who is thinking about doing it to...

I was just going to mention that. Your question are best anwsered by conatacting the recruiting centre. I know many reserve divers. Unfortunately you will not be able to join as a diver. it will be something you will have to wrok towards. Gl sphinx :)

"The Alcoholic" Just joking. Not sure if we have a book like that? Maybe some of the senior members can better direct you :)

Well it is actually it is just becuase the explosion under water is so massive that the submarine would simply be destroyed by its own weapon. The design of a torpedo is not to hit the ship but to explode underneath it,  creating an air pocket and launching the ship into the air. When the ship...

There are lots of crap bags no matter where you are in the world. But the navy happens to house some of the crappiest :) j/K but you are right HFXCrow, we have got some great food :)
