Well you are in for surprise! ;D
I had the honour to work on one of Canada's Navy Bases for the pass month.
There are some notes I made I would like to bring up for anyone intrested in my recce skills. So you don't get the shock and awh effect on you.
Their language is foreign. I am still learning.
I'll say the ones I know so far.
Jetty ~ not a pier... Jetty.
Chief ~ Members that are MWO or CWO, don't call them sir. I learned that the hard way.
Heads ~ Bathroom, again, hard way.
Old Man ~ Commanding Officer, I was wondering why the old man was getting some guy to play a whistle for him. I thought it was some ones dad. Boys was I wrong.
XO- All you need to know for us, Deputy Commanding Officer.
Coxswain (sp?) - Their version of the RSM.
Soup time ~ coffee break that includes soup. You must visit the "Galley" for it.
Galley ~ Our Mess, watch you head while walking on the ship. Metal hurts.
Capt (N) ~ I believe is our Col.
Lt (N) ~ is our Capt... beats me.
Also just some notes..
~While boarding HMCS whatever.. you must salute before stepping on. I am not sure on this issue... but I just copy other folks.
~This throws me for a loop... you do not salute a Commission officer when you walk into their office. Beats me. I even put my heels together.
~Piping in the officer deal... if we did that in the field. The sniper would have a field day.
~Mobile Dock crane operators are crazy drivers. Just whip around the Jetties like they own it.
~Each night it seems they play musical ships and don't tell anyone. I have to drive down each day and map out where is what...
~Poop deck I am still trying to figure out. I think it is on the same level as the "heads"
~Ball caps on base. I was issued one during X-Mas Dinner and was told I can not wear it. So it sits on my dresser for the past 4 years now.
~Dress and deportment. No comment. Can't say anything cause I don't wear the same uniform.
~Standing beside a Resupply ship is Huge.
~Fridays are freebies. Usually. Don't bother to push any paper work.
Other than that, I am having a GREAT time.
;D
Come on NavyMich... I know you wanna...
