No one here can say for sure. The only person who can say for sure is the medical officer, once you apply.

I recall a story from Gulf War 1. Pre-Trump ATH was so overweight from all of the new the stuff being bolted on that everything got landed from the Wardroom, including artwork; books; the piano; panelling and all glassware, cutlery and plates, excepting only one set for each officer onboard...

My sense is that the Russian Navy is much like everyone else: they can run nuclear submarines under the polar ice cap if they want to, but they prefer not to unless they have a really good reason.

That was coup for Canada to get Ryan McBeth to cover HMCS Regina. He has a pretty big following in the US. Alot of people who might not otherwise think about Canada in a positive light got to to see Ryan going to bat for us.

Sorry. Best we can do is a 1994 Dodge half ton…

I think you were doing well until you typed “sell a few pinball machines”….

Warrior Block in Shearwater is built from concrete and is designed to be so durable as to survive a nuclear blast. As is Nelles Block in Esquimalt. Yet, those two buildings are widely considered to be the worst accommodations in the country. Their durability is part of the problem: they are crap...

That is coming, but is 5 years out. We need this now.

Liberal MPs have that ability. They have never shown that level of independence.

Hey, I know a guy who might know!

I have stood there. It is pretty wild!

Can you link them here?

As a matter of fact… DND is specifically mandated to do air/sea rescue. In the past, that logically meant the CAF did it. Now that CCG is part of DND, I wonder….

Hey, what about first name? MWOs are people, too. I think.

I acknowledge that the Provinces are improving capacity.

I know that you know. There are still folks out there that feel the CAF should, every April, find the nearest phone booth to put our capes on and rush to the rescue of the Provinces.

In 12 Wing, as a nod to our Naval roots, every MWO and CWO is referred to as “Chief”. That is likely not representative of what the rest of the RCAF does.

Yeah, because instead of doing our real job of generating combat capable forces to defend Canada, we should definitely look for feel good tasks outside our Constitutional mandate. Perhaps we should also plant trees, pickup garbage and stand around street corners in case some little old lady...

It is also difficult justifying spending time, energy and resources on an activity that is a Provincial Mandate. Yes, I know- the CAF gets called anyway.
