It would be most unusual for any region to run officer qualification courses during the Cadets Summer Training Centre period (mid June to mid Aug) .  Late August would be after CSTC activity has ended. 

A fire in the machine space in a ship is not a joke!  Reporting the incident is as much for the peace of mind of the families of the ship's company in addition to beinging open and transparent regarding the incident which if not reported would be played back as the navy covering the incident up. 

Missinformation - CC1 and CC2 were brand new boats, built for Chile but Chile was not able to meet the payment so B.C. picked them up from the Seattle shipyard on the eve of the First World War. http://www.navalandmilitarymuseum.org/resource_pages/coastal_defence/subs.html

Congratulations!  Wear it with pride on the occasion of presentation and keep it as a memento of the fun you had.

The operative document is/was CFAO 49-6 that allowed for discretionary accelerated promotion. Sections of CFAO 49-6 have been removed over recent years and replaced by DAOD and it is not clear whether it has been canceled in total.  The other reference wrt to promotion within the CIC is CATO 22-02

This may or may not answer.  CATO 12-05 refers. There is a ceremony in Section 5 of the Drill Manual to deposit a flag.  Whether it applies to the Corps Flag is not clear.  However, Corps flags have been deposited. 

The last three posts have aspects that are generalizations without foundation. When polled 97% of adults and 87% of youth know about the Cadet Organizations.  While it is true that there is not a high level of understanding about the benefits, the program is not a secret. Happily just like the...

Not overlooking it at all.  Every sailor has a stake in the public presence of the Canadian Navy everywhere in Canada.  The Command and Formation Cheifs can't be everywhere to jack people up.  Every sailor needs to take a stand ... that unless you are crawling in the mud ... "sailors don't wear...

To provide some context for the requirement to have a balanced fleet of surface ships, submarines and aircraft. The three dimensions of sea control are surveillance, patrol and presence; and response.  Although just about every ship and aircraft can do at least one of these tasks, the best and...

And that is one aspect of why the Navy has an image problem in inland Canada.  If no one dresses as a sailor there are no sailors and then there is no Navy as far as Canadians are concerned.

Exactly.  There is no authority to issue Maritime Command Personnel Reg or Res with CADPAT except if there is an operational requirement.  I.E. crawling in the mud. If you doubt this.  Take it up with the Command or the Formation CPOs.  The response will be "Sailors don't wear CADPAT" The...

Your right, but you don't take it far enough.  The Navy's point of view is "Sailors don't wear CADPAT" unless they are working in the field.  Sailors posted to land or air units in office, classroom training environments etc. dress as sailors. 

Thank you MARS Zero - It is clear that you have no idea what it takes to become a "ship driver" in the Canadian Navy and progress to become the best amongst equals as a ship Commander. She is responsible for the safety and well being of 240 souls and a billion dollar piece of kit. (ship and...
