Odd that I read it that way as a Naval Officer and have been told the same by Senior RCN Officers and NCMs alike. Perhaps some clarity would be useful from the RCN leadership (they should probably remove the sharepoint references and links from DWAN if the intent is as interpreted by the Chiefs...

I would love to see the direction as even the "RCN Dress Regulations" posted to the RCN Dress Committee sharepoint says the same thing (and actually adds CPO1s to the requirement). You're right though - who cares... why follow the rules we established ourselves. EDIT to add: and if this magical...

So how to we square these things right out of the Dress Instructions? https://www.canada.ca/en/services/defence/caf/military-identity-system/dress-manual/chapter-5/annex-c.html " Sweaters. No. 3C order of dress: Nothing shall be sewn on the sweater; the Remembrance Day poppy may be pinned to...

Sadly (or not) your Chief is wrong. This is under the "Sweaters" headline and as such, if wearing a sweater a Naval Officer must wear a necktie and, ergo, must wear a long sleeved shirt.

Missions like CARIBBE require long "on station" times, as the AO/Patrol Box is usually quite far out to sea (think days of transit) to maximize surveillance. Even once "on top" and successful in an interdiction, the process can take many hours to days. We tend to even stretch the limits of...

The range and 5 day endurance are not suitable, unfortunately.

A very cool system for some circumstances but hamstrung by limitations placed upon it - particularly for OTH operations in ships without air search RADARs and IFF. Plenty of potential if appropriately "unlocked"

Happy to oblige

It is - the argument is if a designated flying course and speed is required for launch and/or recovery or if the RPAS has a large enough envelope to make it immaterial. Also, it might be such a short launch and recovery that hoisting the shapes might take longer than the launch itself. Using...

I am sorry - but (MARS/NWO) pedants gonna pedant... It is, directly from the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, a "vessel restricted in her ability to manoeuvre". IAW with those same regulations those vessels that are considered RAM are: a) a vessel engaged in laying...

Agree. Wouldn't it be nice, though, to supply our own tankers for FOB operations instead of relying on tankers (and crews!) from KSKA and KPIT? Tankers are already High Demand/Low Avail and at some point TRANSCOM might need to reallocate for the fight away from home.

Well.... we could certainly spend time in Canada. We just need to quarantine for 14 days (or less if using the AB pilot project). So, you make the most use of Christmas/New Years leave combined with Short, Annual and Weekend you *could* expend eight annual and get a full week in Canada - worst...

You are correct. There are no restrictions on Canadian citizens wishing to fly into the United States (and back to Canada) and there are regular daily flights to US destinations from YVR, YYC, YYZ and YUL. The only requirement is to follow quarantine guidelines at destination (if any) and on...

I wish we had that option available here, but given the mission reqmts (and the fact we are in the USA) we have actually ramped up hours at work. This dichotomy in work/life balance in a COVID environment between (some of) our INCAN friends and us causes some... predictable morale issues. It is...

You will more than double fuel costs. The HDW class at 95% take some 716CUM of fuel which is 4 1/3 times the capacity of the KIN Class. While the range of HDW is 20% better, and the endurance at sea much longer (which makes sense given the significant size difference) I have to think the fuel...
