/tangent I went ashore in '04 and returned in '10 - lots of changes in that time, I think. I agree with your point "with experience..." but that kind of mental assessment you described is completely 'experience' dependent, and an ideal way for the error chain to start.  A Wardroom full of...

It was a close run thing.  It would have been a bad day if not for your quick reaction and that of your team, Chief  :salute:

CNN was reporting that McCain suffered a loss of steering, and then were unable to employ their secondary steering systems.  No other details. If they were both following the traffic flow, likely in close-ish quarters, one ahead of the other, a steering failure could quite easily result in...

Another trend I noticed in my last ship was a tendency to leave the radar system in 'true motion' - that is, the course/speed vector was displaying the other vessel's true course and speed.  I was quite surprised that I had to prompt my Officers of the Watch to switch to 'relative motion'.  The...

...which has nothing whatsofuckingever to do with whether an opinion piece is 'good' or not...just saying

I think Bird-Gunner accurately summarized what I was trying to say. OGBD, my poor wording...I wasn't implying that there is much of any conversation around the entire affair at all - I agree with you there - simply that any conversation is not going to centre on the Charter rights and freedoms...

I would speculate it is because the CDS understands quite clearly that Indigenous groups 'have the floor', so to speak, in the current public discourse and that the details don't and won't matter - there is no winning move, in terms of the reputation of the CAF, other than to condemn, without...

crap...I lost my post... Summary: This things might start with Rule 1: governments deeming certain vessels to be 'special construction' (i.e. warships) and thus not being lit at night or sounding signals IAW a vessel of her dimensions; Rule 27 might apply - if Fitzgerald was Restricted in...

FFS, google "cannabis taxation studies".  Google broken in Toronto?!? Lest you try and flame me....here some things for you to "read": https://files.taxfoundation.org/legacy/docs/TaxFoundation_SR231.pdf I know you are partial to pro-cannabis pubs, so here is one you should have seen already...

Here you go. http://www.ipacanadaregion2.com/Roundup%20March%202016.pdf Poor guy.  I hope he gets the help he needs  :(

Two of my four deployments were with Chief Stoker.  Inhospitable is a chabitable way to describe the operating environment, at least in a ship, even with the changes in ice I have witnessed over the last 10 years.  That is just my first-hand observation as a former Commanding Officer,  I...

Saw it this morning.  Needs more Jar Jar in it

Perhaps people are just examining the 'root causes' of his beliefs, which naturally informs his decision making thought process. 

Because its 2016.  [:)

Every time the blame is placed on the previous government, I am reminded of the "three envelopes" joke that was told to me on my assumption of Command.  Although in politics, perhaps there are more than three envelopes...

A bit of a rant from Desmond Cole at the Toronto Star, but here is his recent article nonetheless, shared IAW the Fair Dealing Provisions of the Copyright Act https://www.thestar.com/opinion/commentary/2016/09/15/suspicion-of-immigrants-is-a-canadian-value-cole.html

So which is it?

It doesn't matter to me how long they take - I have no dog in this fight - but I am close to a public servant working on that file.  Summer 2017 for the staff to submit their way ahead plan up the chain, so add several months to that, at least, for vetting at higher levels
