Forum Name Change

[Rifleman62]

I am assuming Navy.ca and Air Force.ca are registered.

How about renaming the Navy General forum to read the Royal Canadian Navy General or RCN General.

I always thought Navy General was a bit amusing.

Same with Air Force General to RCAF General.

The terms Navy and Air Force are pretty universal, even to new users and civilians. Maybe I should look at changing the 'General' portion of the board names...

"General" is also a pretty well understood term......generally.

For a generic title:

Air Marshal and Navy Admiral for sub-form titles, just does not hold the same '"all encompassing" terms in my mind.  ;D

Canadian Army general? Lets not go overboard with these name changes. The Navy has always been and will always be the Navy, not Maritime Command....

I read somewhere years ago that a group of non-naval officers attending a staff course in England were miffed that the Royal Navy was run by somebody with the lofty title of First Sea Lord, whereas their services have more mundane-sounding bosses.

The naval officers on the course suggested boosting the prestige of the other two titles by renaming them "First Landlord" and "Lord of the Flies".

Given the site's unofficial nature, I don't think it would be a bad thing to stick with the more colloquial terms that the site has been using all along: Army, Navy and Air Force.
We do not need to change to look more like the official sites.
