This is the dumbest friggin thing I've heard today. The current NavRes BMQ construct is a failure. 24 units, 25 standards. And they don't have remotely the staff or facilities to actually run this anywhere but near a major base. I've seen the products of remote BMQ from the NavRes...

Suffield is about to become very full if the artillery gets all their SPGs and Rocket stuff.

Something like that.

There is BNQ coming to NS this year. (Aberfoyle??). I think they are integrating NETP (MARS 2) directly into the program (like they did with my pres BOTC back in the day) to reduce training delays/gaps, admin etc... Airforce is looking at a BAFQ in BC. The recruiting SIP target for this...

I was using the terms interchangeably because I didn't know where the line was... lol

Thanks, my understanding is much better now.. This is why Preserver is catching up to Protecteur. The prefitting work amount done on Preserver is much higer particularly for the piping, and is why Protecteur is behind schedule. That sort of experience is going to make all the CCG ships go...

You're also senior enough that those issues are your problem to deal with!

It's probably a combo of things. Its hard to understate how HAVING ACTUAL MONEY improves the procurement process at the coal face. I can get all the office supplies and equipment I need and don't need to worry about it. I know the audit looked at big projects. But for smaller projects just...

So an audit done in the last months of JT's government showed what we all knew. A lot of things have changed since then. They are not where they need to be but wow, I sometimes feel like someone popped the blister. Relief. Though there is healing to do and we can't run on that foot yet.

Yah its a bit in flux, but we did start from the old tanker numbers. I can say CSE Dept is pretty small, but larger than some were originally thinking. There are a lot of cranes on the ship and CSE are the crane operator maintainers. IIRC it was between 250-280 pers. MSE and Deck Dept are...

JSS will certainly have more folks in messes/cabins than on Asterix. 8 max IIRC with a larger heads near their cabin. Most CPO's - PO's will be 4 to a mess, Some CPO's 2 to a mess. All have their own heads, or share a heads with the cabin beside them (so 8 pers to a heads max). The MSE...

What do you mean by prefitting? Can you educate us on that? What in the image indicates prefitting? And what are the implications of "more than expected"? This is why I love this site, opportunities to learn!

IF (big if) the RCN is "blocking" (which they can't) a Domestic Ops medal is because all naval operations are Dom Ops basically. As are most Airforce Operations. Hence why the RCN introduced the Sea Service Insignia to recognize all the operations sailors do (by way of counting sea days) that...

I can't speak for all of the badges listed, but no, generally they are not approved to be worn on any other dress but the Naval ones. Because the Navy decided it doesn't want to follow the proper dress regulations procedure for its dress.

Talk to the Centre. They normally don't get the police certificate themselves, thats your responsibility. You'll have to request it and submit it. Same thing for the foriegn Credit check. I have never seen CFRC request a police check on someones behalf, so that sounds a bit odd to me. As...

In the person above's case they were not a Canadian Citizen. If you are a Canadian Citizen and lived in a red flagged country for 6+ months in the last 5 years you will require a Pre-security Screening, and will also require a police check from that country, and a credit check from the same...

Canada is probably the only country in NATO that actually follows the NATO designations exactly for ship classification. Evidence the DDGH River Class. As you can see here FFL is both a Light Frigate and a Corvette at the same time, its classification is left to armament or capability...

They are being very German about things. So they don't do flashy ads or talk up their stuff.

Trafalgar class, Suffren class...

Asterix did what it was supposed to do at a time when we had no other options. It did great service. Yes it was expensive and yes there were some bad design decisions that lead to not idea seakeeping (including an accident with a Cyclone). Good and bad. Kept us in the Pacific and relevant...
