A bronze SSI, so more time at sea than a lot of folks in the navy. How much sea time you got there, pal?

I haven't seen these indicators myself.  Can you elaborate?

Metric won't work...too many syllables makes it too clunky of a slogan. 

Like the myriad of other issues that the military does not prepare us for, we rely on our Canadian/Western democratic value system. I have made it through 25 years of service without once witnessing murder, for example, and without the CAF spending ANY time "preparing" me for it, but I still...

Exactly. And those recruits move up the ranks, continuing to be completely fucking TONE DEAF to the current situation.  Christ Almighty is right.

Agreed.  it is kind of like spamming the CR. Also, if there is a response, and the respondent decides to only use one of your file numbers, then the memo in the other file will be useless.

I was just using your own numbers... That is a different number...

Really?  I have always worn my US tunic with my CF pants...never had an issue and I don't appear different than anyone else.  Perhaps everyone is wearing US tunics and CF pants Luke007 - YES, get a US one if you can.  750 bucks from Andrie is highway robbery.  not sure what a US one costs these...

Thats a pretty big assumption, that does't appear to totally jive with the experience of the other two elements. Just for argument's sake: would you feel differently about this if it did indeed require (or end up) cutting more tooth than tail?  Are you ready to give up operating capability for...

This. This is a perfect example of what plagues this country: the vast majority of the general public doesn't care about foreign policy, and knows even less about it.  They are too busy keeping up with the Kardashians to actually care about boring stuff like Canada's strategic interests or...

I agree, to a point, but I think the politicians were and are simply responding to the fickle will of the populace.  The constituency that actually cares about a new fighter aircraft is tiny and doesn't affect the outcome of any electoral contest.  Plus, most Canadians despise any and all things...

As you and I have discussed, he wot be any worse for us than Mr. Trump or Mrs. Clinton will be for the United States.  In 4 or 8 years the United States will be in roughly the same position they are now.  In x years, so will we.  Marginally better or worse but nothing drastic.  Besides, as is...

And this, in my opinion, is the crux of the issue.  "Fight-Move-Float" isn't a just a catchy phrase, it is the spectrum of Command priorities at any given moment in time. Does every ship in the RCN need to be able to Fight at all times?  Absolutely not.  Does it even need to be able to Move at...

Thank you for changing the title - it was innacurate, misleading and alarmist

I think you will find this is far, far more wide-spread than just those two sectors of the work force Again, I don't think this is restricted to religious fundamentalists or white men only...this is something that happens across many (most? all?) cultures, races and countries, regardless of...

Wasn't there a year, maybe 2 years ago, that I didn't grant the 2 short?  I recall sometime circa 2013/14 that the direction from MARLANT was CMARL was specifically NOT granting short days and COs were encouraged to be judicious in their use at Xmas.  It was also around the same time that the...

As an example, for some context, the established timeline to staff a routine DIPCLEAR for RCN vessels to enter US waters is 60 days.  So, given that the article indicates the plan was first tabled 8 Feb, the fatc that it hasnt yet been granted, a mere 3 weeks henceforth, is not at all...

You didnt, but are you seriously going be a fucking dolt and play at semantics? the most cursory review of your posting history - indeed, on the FIRST page of your posting history, indeed the LAST post you made before this thread, you wrote: "I'll throw my two cents in as I can speak from...
