chadk said:Sounds like an intersting ship....even if you only spent a limited time on her. I am hoping to find out a bit more about the camaraderie aboard, maybe a bit about her crew. How easy going the crew is, etc.
Jaydub said:I'm on the Algonquin. I'm fairly new onboard. The first thing I noticed was how tight the crew is. There's a lot of good people.
Although I would have preferred to stay on a Frigate, the crew has made the posting enjoyable.
The CO is awesome. He was my XO on HMCS Winnipeg.
When do you get here?

Bit of a nitpick there, yes we serve in ships but who actually says "hey I'm in the Algonquin now...etc?"
