It really depends on the Officer who is running the board, but basically they ask you a couple questions, ask you if you have any questions, and then ask you if you are still interested in joining. If you say yes and they have an offer for you, they will tell you so, if not they will ask you if...

Well I don't consider myself an authority on this topic, but I can give you some idea from my experience so far. 1) CE or LogO are not terribly physically demanding jobs, so once you make it through BMOQ you are good to go as long as you pass your PT test every year. I had a couple of very...

I didn't know the CSE's had their own mess dinner, I thought it was only the NTO mess dinner in the spring.

I'll send you a link to the presentation tomorrow when I am at my computer.

At least they will be attempting to rectify some of the issues with the crews washplaces & heads (specifically No. 3), and most of the offices will be getting more desk space, so it's not all bad :D

If you have access to the DIN you can look up the HCM project website which has a presentation on the engineering changes that will be made regarding habitability on the CPF's, including drawings of the new arrangements. One of the big things will be the conversion of the majority of officers'...

I'm going to say you'll probably have to do NOAB, my buddy was a stoker in the reserves and he had to do it.

Seek and ye shall find...

Well I can't speak to EME, but I can tell you a little bit about MSE from my limited experience. First of all, realize that Naval Engineers have just about the least sea time of any trade in the Navy. Most likely I will never spend more than 4 years posted to a ship, and if I get ONE six moth...

Hmmm, I'm at a loss then, if they didn't want you to wear it, why would they let you buy it... I guess some people just have their own way of doing things, right or wrong...

Which pub were you at? If it was the Tudor House, then there might be an explanation.

Yes that is Karlsruhe on the right, and Montreal on the left. I was on the focsle of Montreal when that was taken.

Also from a practicality standpoint, Sea boots are frankly not very good for walking in. They are very heavy due to the steel toe and all the protection they need to have, they are stiff, and the waterproof lining means they don't breathe very well. My combat boots from basic training are great...

CADPAT is for the Army and Airforce, the Navy equivalent to CADPAT is NCD's, as soon as you finish basic you give back everything green.

Thought some people might like to see the new stripes compared to Admirals from other navies. I found this picture on the US CNO's website, it was taken in Halifax while all the Admirals were here for the fleet review. Enjoy! As an aside: the CMS looks much sharper with the new curl on his...

Well said Pusser. The only people who really have time to drink at sea are the people who work day shifts; even being in a 1 in 4 doesn't allow a lot of time to have a few wets and get all your other personal stuff done.

Extension to what Ex Dragoon said, the vending machine with beer is in the Master Seamen and below mess, the Chief and PO's mess and the Wardoom just have a fridge with beer in it.

The closet thing to a ruck march I have to do it get my kitbag across the brow and down to the mess  ;D

Quoting CF Dress regs: UNDERGARMENTS 10. Undergarments including a brassiere for female personnel, shall be worn under all orders of dress and shall be of an appropriate colour so as not to be visible through uniform items of clothing.

Or what about non-navy personnel serving on board HMC ships, like firefighters, which is always an air force trade, yet all ships have a department of them on board. As well most supply departments contain a good variety of air force and army personnel.
