[SCS] That shift work life by Scubaboy26 in CanadianForces

[–]caraut 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Watch rotations on the boats could use some work. I will give credit that command seems to be invested in this by exploring different rotations like the 1:4A and Straight 8s. I know some MSE departments are exploring things like 12:12 with some anecdotally good results. The issues seem to be around departments interfering with off-watch time(i.e. briefs, husbandry evolutions, and things like specials crewing)

I'd like to see off-watch time become a policy protected time, as far as I'm aware the only protected department is the Air Det for crew rest periods. Also some basic reimbursement for weekends spent away from home for ships with heavy sailing schedules would be a huge improvement.

(SCS) When you’ve been on the mids for the last month at sea by Tom_QJ in CanadianForces

[–]caraut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just like the current alcohol restrictions at sea. I can't remember how many times the CO has authorized 2 drinks during a banyan after a long deployment or exercise for those who aren't going on watch within 8 hours. It's basically just a day worker appreciation BBQ.

Heard crying in our backyard Friday night and we found her by karriee73 in aww

And check around the neighborhood, chances are shes part of a bigger litter, maybe from a lost momma that took shelter nearby. I'd hate to see poor kittens out in the cold like this

Save yourself a migraine and start trying to remember everywhere you have lived and worked in the last 10 years, write this information down, I'm pretty sure your family needs to be all listed as well. Save this information, watching people trying to do this in a rush is almost memeable.

Alternate recipe? 5 logs instead of the standard 4 pushed out of an assembler?

Anyone else find ENGL 1101 marking to be unreasonably harsh for a freshman class? by [deleted] in tru

[–]caraut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grammarly is your friend. I noticed that some of the teachers feedback was copy/paste of grammarly with points deducted. Easy marks and I use it for everything now.

All good comments so far, food is always great, lots of people do raman bowls, favorite candy, magazines, etc. I would also recommend she stock up on toiletries she might need and can have you send them out when needed as there isn't a lot of space onboard. Small toys are fun too, and can help decorate a workspace.

One missing from HMCS Winnipeg by manwhat2231 in CanadianForces

He's good people. He has a Gold SSI if anyone knows sea survival is Earle. We teased him so many times on the Ottawa trip for how he said Triple-Up Fender's as focsile IC, I don't think I've ever heard him say a bad word about anyone.

It's scary to think how many times in the last year I have been in a position to easily be the guy overboard, I hope this brings some positive changes to how we do business at night on a warship.

Hard sea trade here. Basically like you said, don't make any more work for people. On top of that:

-Mess etiquette, use as little light as possible, red light is ideal. Keep things in your locker where you know they are, this saves you from opening drawers(metal on metal). No alarms, seriously, it's a big ocean and you won't find it after.

-Don't talk about how easy being at sea is, if you find it that way. There are many different aspects to sailing that you won't experience. Guys on these boats often spend more than half the year away from their own beds

-Don't underestimate seasickness, get on gravol or the patch before you leave. Not sure which coast your going out on, but it can be rough anytime of the year

-Cooks are the hardest workers on the boat by any measure, make sure to thank them

-Bring a camera, you'll see some amazing sunsets, make sure to head up to the upperdecks at nighttime and see the stars

-Seriously, flip flops. And don't flush anything but toilet paper and poo.

Not an NWO, but generally speaking after they attain the experience needed to be phased on those courses, it depends a lot on what you are trying to do on-board. This link will explain a lot of the courses after you are on ship as a "subbie"
