I have some good info on the 40mm with regards to life left on them, but I think it's OPSEC. Not sure, with these old dinosaurs.

Yes there is a new commercial that was in the works last year. There are 15/30/60 second version of the same commercial i believe. Some for TV and some for theatres. I think they'll lame personally.

The fact that the coast guard doesn't actually guard anything should probably be something that needs to be looked at. They should actually be armed and a part of the military not fisheries and oceans. These vessels will be only useful in the summer time when winter ice is it's thinnest. Those...

I heard from the senior clerk on one of our ships that there is a issue in Ottawa at DH&R about these medals. Something about funding or materials. I can't remember exactly. Has anyone heard anything about issues at DH&R.

I still don't know what the point of these vessels are? They navy doesn't deal with the arctic, the coast guard does. Will these ships be deployable? Are they replacing the MCDV's as coastal vessels? Can they RAS or integrate into a task group. If feels to me that the navy is being shoved...

There is a trend in the last few years that I see in the navy and a lot of the older guys are saying it's to drive people out intentionally. In the 90's they wanted to shrink the military by use of the FRP and what they saw was the young guys take the pay out get out and then get back in many...

Does anyone know how long it takes for NDHQ update the time in the box for the OSM Exp for OP Caribbe? Just finished down there in October and still haven't seen the list updated. Apparently I can't get the medal ordered until that list is updated and my days become "official" even though they...

So just got home from a trip down to San Diego and I picked up a pair of those lovely patent leather oxfords they sell at the NEX uniform store. My Div O, my Chief and several other senior ranks that said they're authorized for wear and they even sell them at the CANEX now. I was just...

Thanks. I don't care about payment info, I just want to know that they received it.

Due to deployment my PIL paperwork only got into my OR a week prior to the deadline last year. They swore it wasn't an issue so close to the deadline cause as long as it was stamped on a date before the deadline it was good. I've seen almost everyone from my previous unit paid out and I still...

I just got a talk from my CO yesterday about optics. And how we look to civilians and how we have it really good. And he talked to the CDS when he was out here for Regina's departure. The CDS said that our pay and our pension were seen as safe things but in the time of fiscal restraint other...

More digging around, found the damn nomination form here http://rcafassociation.ca/uploads/airforce/2013/11/Nomination.pdf

Digging around I found this "The Embassy of France is looking for candidates who took part in the battles and military operations surrounding the landings and the campaign to liberate France between June 6 and Aug. 31, 1944. In a letter sent from the Embassy of France to Veterans Affairs last...

My grandfather fought and was wounded in Normandy. He lives in a nursing home in Amherst NS. Can I apply for him, he's 93 years old and getting on. This would be great for him. I couldn't find a link to any paperwork though.

Well if this is untrue, it's making the rounds at some pretty high level places. MARPAC HQ for example and my vessels Wardroom.

I've heard rumors in the last 6 months about this horrendous idea. I first hear about it from my ships engineering officer (LCDR) that they are looking at changing the way our pensions are caculated from 5 best years to the whole career. Then today I heard more of the same thing, that "it's in...

Nice catch on the spacing of the wings. This person has had an interesting career to say the least.

I thought red wings were jump qualified and white wings we're the old Airborne?

These look foreign definitely. British perhaps? Is this reservist allowed to wear them? I mean damn, it's alot for a Corporal. Found it in the Vancouver Sun

At least I got a life time experience out of it......
