Just wondering if anyone knows what the next few ships are going to be for the rotation to the Gulf. Thanks.

Yeah, sorry bout that. I edited my comment.

Yeah, and right now it is terrible. I never said it's only bad now.

200 people killed by their government. Open gunfire in the streets. A funeral being shot up. Scary stuff in my books. Not to mention this only ads to the already unstable regions of the Middle East.  This is old news so to speak, but the story is just another reminder as to how terrible that...

good luck man. you've been waiting for a while.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12517327 A link to the BBC report and vid. Scary stuff.

I see what you are saying and agree somewhat, but we are nearly there right now. The algonqin is alongside with a bent prop shaft. And the other 280 are clinging to life. I just believe that we need to hurt for a little bit before we can feel good. As a member of the Navy, it is really tough to...

This is just for anyone who is looking for intel on the course. And I know that I will be repeating facts that have already been mentioned. The STD ( Ships Team Diver ) course is a difficult one. This is a pre- req to becoming a CL DVR. It is primarily focused on PT. The instructors are almost...

I can say that we need to have the latest and greatest if we want to be a competitive navy. The army got the new ML upgrade as well as ILTIS replacements, and new combats, new weapons, new tanks, and new support systems ( rightfully so). The Air Force has received the Globemasters (thank god)...

I have no idea how my clearance has not come through, yet you have received yours. How was NCOT for VP?

Thanks for the insight. Taker' easy.

ya, that is something else eh? I think that there should be particular interest in insects/birds that are capable of hovering, for obvious reasons. So many applications.

here ya go. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-12513315

and this is conducted after you are Cpl?

Good video of it in flight. There is one that had the creator holding it in his hand as well. I will post the link soon.

Thanks so much airmich. That was exactly the info I was looking for. Just to clarify, I work mon to fri 8-3 and at sea, 5 on 5 off 7 on 7 off. Is that still the same that you were referring to? It's for my friend who just joined the forces. He is in BMQ right now as an AC OP. He is really stoked...

I am aware of the fact that this is a prototype. I think you need not limit yourself to what is on this forum as this is not the only publication on the matter. The video of the interview from the BBC with the creator of this ROV went on to show that it has a camera built into the body of the...

Saw the video today. That thing looks cool. Don't know who will buy it seeing as how the area it is used must have an indigenous hummingbird population to be effective. I suppose that it could be applied to a different airframe for night ops. Cool idea for sure.

Haha! No kidding. Carrier take off and landing is what I was thinking.  :facepalm:

Another question, can I get some info on the standard work week that AC OPs have when posted to let's say Comox for example. Thanks for the help.
