    How do I find a relative who was and may still be in the service

    My condolences for your loss, but this is not a good forum to search out locations of folks in the CF.  We have no way of knowing your identity and we cannot pass on personal information.  It would be unwise. Again very sorry.

    NCI OP vs NES OP

    CSONAR and I are in direct contact.  We disagree with each other.  The exercise that I was on involved our aircraft and USN submarines.  It was conducted on a plain voice net with much more information, than I posted, transmitted on plain voice.  I would have happily posted the whole article in...

    NCI OP vs NES OP

    G'day CSONAROp, I don't see the sensitive or classified information you refer to.  I reviewed all the posts and all the opinions and statements are available on open source.  If you have a concern, you should PM the individuals.  PM me if you want. Bill

    Bring back the Brig?

    For a flashback, We had the same problem in the late 70s.  Drugs were rampant (all sorts).  Guys were slipping into the female quarteres and vice-versa.  Punishments were lenient (small fines mostly), and we all had that new found cash of $500 a month and the mess was close by.  These appear to...

    Is the US Navy overrated ??

    Very good link.  I read and skimmed most of it and I see several mistakes.  The author quotes individual and groups, but he is wrong in many cases.  Unfortunately most of the info I would like to comment on is classified.  I have flown ASW for 18 years now, against Russians, US, UK, CA, AUS...

    Injured Jumpers have pay cut....

    Go,   From the CBI, if your folks are just injured and still holding designated jump positions then they are entitled to their pay.  We have had similar instances with Air Crew Allowance.  Fight it.  Folks are owed back pay.  Raise your point thru education of the CBIs.  Cheers, Bill...

    Treadmill Timewasters

    I used to use the machines in the gym and have since bought a treadmill for my house.  Prior to that I ran in my boots and webbing.  As an older guy with tender knees, I find the tread mill invaluable.  I am not sure if the initial user in the peeve was on the machine for a set time.  Most CF...

    NCI OP vs NES OP

    Still off thread, apoligies for those concerned.  AIRCREW life rocks.  If you make the selection.... jump soonest and freeze.  Good Luck

    The Reality of Compassionate Travel Assistance

    I recently lost my father and used the CF CTA benefits to arrange my travel from NS to AB.  I found out that there many ambiguities of knowledge within admin support system.  I have discovered the realities, and I share this to assist folks who suffer a loss of a family member in the future...

    NCI OP vs NES OP

    Melbatoast and TAS278 both make good comments, I'm a little off thread but being a lover off ASW, this reply is appropriate.  The Air Force Aurora crews share the same frustration that you folks at sea experience.  Like you, we are multi-capability platforms.  We are currently developing...

    The 5th estate: Abu Ghraib and Torture in Iraq

    You fight because you're told to and that's what professional soldiers do?   Come on Go, even you know better than that.   Without even going into dozens of anectdotes, historical excerpts, and personal biographies, even I know that we fight for the soldier on our right and left, we fight for...

    Housing for Officers in Petawawa

    Well Matty, I don't know by your profile how old you are but if you and your wife have or can borrow a downpayment for a house, then skip the PMQs and find a home.  The CHMC set rents for PMQs is ridiculous.  You're much better off owning your own home.  I waited until my mid-thirties and...

    The 5th estate: Abu Ghraib and Torture in Iraq

    Go!!!,  You would never work for me?  Think of all the fun we would have.  ::) As a Canadian serviceman, you cannot abuse your detainees.  It is your original quote that bothered me as you seem to think it's OK.  You asked for thoughts.  You got 'em. Cheers :cdn:
