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...

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...
