    Media Bias [Merged]

    The whole paragraph in the ref to the long knives and clubs is a terrible slash at us.  He tears down the training that the soldier received before she went in that she can't do the job and then attempts to drive a wedge, it seems to me, that male troops won't risk their lives to save an under...

    MOC training for NES OP - or other Naval OP trades for that matter

    Downside / boring tasks exist in every job and it also will depend on how you look at the tasks.  Depends who you are working with, what he job is.  Eventually you get away from those jobs you might not like and move onto other things.

    Can NCI Ops still become SACs?

    Bump for the new course in June on the east coast.  It's interesting going back to when Red started the thread and read through it again.  Still the same problems with recruiting the guys into the seats for some reason.

    HMCS Athabaskan VS SCUD

    I'm sure that the SCUD wasn't fired at the ship and that it was being in the right place under the flightpath at the time it happened.  2 miles is only about 10000 ft, so yeah it would have missed by 2 miles if it went overhead.  :)

    "And one, two cloth badges and one, two pins, sign here ...congratulations"  Done. Whats the measurement to sew this onto the No 1's again?  1/2 " above the name tag?

    New replacements for HMCS Iroquois, HMCS Algonquin and HMCS Athabaskan?

    Re-building he CPFs into area defence with the SM2 fit is what they had planned for the last 6 frigates, Provincial Class or something they were going to call them.  Had we kept going with that plan, the 280s would probably be gone by now.

    The current navy uniform

    LOL I like the beret actually, as long as those wearing it, wear it properly.  The new ones with the cloth band are better, much better than those older versions that flop down like a pizza and come to the bottom of the earlobe.  Or is worn sitting back on the head so you get to see all the...

    Are bosun's boring?

    I think Pat nailed it down.  I have met boring Bosuns but they are the same as us and have lots of times been bored but many times so busy they wish they were bored. I don't think they have a boring job, they always seem to be busy with something on the go.

    Anyone know of a NCIOP website?

    I have seen websites / forums out there for NESOPs and AESOPs.  I wonder if there is one out there for the NCIOPs / Radar Plotters?

    NCI OP Question !!!

    NCIOPs mostly stay in the ops room doing operations work on a daily basis while at sea.  You won't be doing watch duties as lookout and life bouy sentry.  You will have work on the upper decks for rescue stations and RAS positions up until you make MS. Many hours sitting in front of the radar...

    The current navy uniform

    Actually you can expect the "new" NCDs whenever they run out of your size.  Went to trade in my jacket yesterday and since they still have my size in the last style, I get that.  So my jackets lasted 3-4 years before they have to go in....3 years left till pension.....1 jacket just...
