hamiltongs said:Not at all - my experience suggests just the opposite, in fact. When I'm at sea, I can tell you a heck of a lot about what's going on with HMCS GOOSE BAY, and I more or less know what's up with the ships in company. But I'm not privvy to any inside information about what's going on in the fleet in general and I probably know less than the average person about the affairs of the world at large. I find being "on the ground" means having your perspective narrowed a great deal.
I refer you to my earlier post reference news media that I have been privy to...including while in Egypt, Syria, Israel, Jordan, the Gulf etc etc. Apparently this doesn't happen for HM ships...
Needless, I'll post some of my Syria pictures, where every little dung hut that I saw during my 6 months came equiped with a huge family, sheeps goats and a satellite dish.
I also had no problem obtaining North American print media.
Nor local print media in Aramic or English.
