Please. He wants something cool. :sneaky:

Strangely, the party that won the election generally doesn’t want to change the method in which they won.

Ask the military member what they would like. I’ve been in a few receptions in Mess Dress. But if you have a ceremonial part, then whatever the others are wearing.

I mean, the RN famously had the Flower class so HMCS Gros Morne isn’t that much of a stretch. The USN also has their Command and Control ships named after mountains - Blue Ridge and Mount Whitney

Depends on what part of the wedding you’re involved in - the ceremony itself or the reception?

Listened to a podcast today and one of the more salient lines was “Aside from his family, Justin Trudeau’s biggest supporter is Pierre Poilievre”. It was a bit of a double-take moment, but it makes sense - for the majority of folks who aren’t closely watching policy, the hate is right now...

I call it “the local pub” but whatever works I guess.

Norway has a direct land and sea border with Russia, and the Russian Navy sails close-ish to the Norwegian coast. Not surprised that they would have a strong defence budget.

One of the best things for CCUE will be the 2” increments instead of the current 4” increments. Fewer “too big or too small” sizes for people like me. I believe that the US military uniforms are in 2” increments which is one reason why they look better, irrespective of body size. If you’re...

I’m guessing that @Furniture is referring to the “no Velcro nonsense and unit/qual/100th patch crap” part of your last reply? I’m not sure myself.

Would that work in Canada? That is a pretty big “big govt” approach that would add a ton of debt. I don’t know about the country-wide social consequences but I wouldn’t want to be a kid in that sort of family…
