I see what you did, there…

Other TACCOs… ;) I am well aware of both wire guided torpedos and sub launched SAMs. Thanks. We don’t need to get particularly to a sub to get a kill any longer. There are ways…

That seems on brand…

As a Sea King TACCO (heh), the usual method of gaining contact in the simulator was either a missile plume or a torpedo bearing. Either way, it always resulted in a dead submarine, 100% of the time (either we were that good or…hey! Wait a second…)

There is one that I am aware that is an absolute work of art…

Especially for a SSK. Trying to clear a missile launch datum in anything other than a SSN is….sporty. Edit: now, if you have a really long ranged missile, that datum may not matter, because the bad guys can’t get to you in a timely fashion…

And the Arctic will try to kill you 9 ways to sunday…

But, but, but…there is no business case for LNG! <sarc>

Thank-you for the correction! All these years- I read Calgary and infantryman in the news at the time and just assume Patricia.

To be completely accurate, armoured car robbery…

More than likely the other way around, given how old Joe is.

Also know as the “Buffalo Joe” trick. Showing up at air tanker bid evaluation day (where bidders were supposed to bring a working air tanker to the ramp and their detailed cost estimates) with a picture of an airplane that you did not even own yet and your numbers scribbled on the back of an...

I have to say, I am very impressed with the quality of the posts in this thread. Very valid points have been made in a very adult manner. I am learning lots!
