Great thread that starts with the history of messes (a bit Army centric but I will grudgingly acknowledge that they are the biggest service in the CAF) and goes on to ask some excellent questions about how mess culture and traditions should evolve to best suit the CAF of today

This is an #mustread thread. Thank you, Annalise Tower, for sharing so openly, honestly, and unreservedly. We should all aspire to your example of leadership.

This is an absolutely fantastic podcast full of great advice. I encourage all thoughtful people to give it a listen And, for ⁦Dave Mazur⁩ , I had time for it because I chose a leisurely walk home instead of the ride you so kindly offered podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/fre…

Had a great meeting with the new SISIP District Manager Kathryn Ritter. SISIP provides free financial, investment, and debt management advice. This is one of the hidden benefits of being a CAF member - not many jobs come with free financial services. Call for an appointment.

John was a great shipmate aboard #HMCSAlgonquin So pleased to see him recognized this way. He has always been leading the way

Could not resist attending the 106th Anniversary of the Battle of Beaumont Hamel this morning. A poignant reminder that today is also Memorial Day in Newfoundland to honour the incredible sacrifice of the #RoyalNewfoundlandRegiment so many years ago #WeWillRemember

Finally a church for Dugald Topshee !

An absolutely riveting thread about the power and danger of the sea and the incredible bravery of Aviation royale canadienne Search and Rescue crews who regularly and routinely risk their lives to help others

Very good thread about the symbolism and significance of the National War Memorial and Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

Last year Amy had to take this race off to recover from an IT band injury. This year Amy Topshee has returned from #UBC to crush this long course! Congratulations Amy! #SwimRunVictoria

@toopacabra When people use “Lima time” when they really mean “Local time”. Lima is Zulu +11. It isn’t your local time zone unless you’re in the Pacific or the Russian Far East. Just. Say. Local.

One of many outstanding sailors in the Royal Canadian Navy Great to see her story told!

Showing why Fleet Command is at least the second best job in the Royal Canadian Navy

Vice-Admiral Charles Morris Winton "Chuck" Thomas was an inspiration to so many. One of my career highlights was listening to him describe how he delivered the modernization of the Tribal-class destroyers to our Navy. (1/3)

Amy Topshee (University of British Columbia) shares her insightful research on Securitization Theory and Climate Change. She posits:"NATO only partially securitized Climate Change." Part of "Climate Change and Environmental Security". Live: cmrsj-rmcsj.forces.gc.ca/rec-res/critic… CMR Saint-Jean - RMC Saint-Jean Bishop's University RMC Canada CMR

As I spent my last night at sea, I reflected on the high quality of Sailors I had the privilege of spending the day with. I want to thank @HMCSOttawa for showing the @CDS_CANADA_CEMD and I what highly motivated and professional crews we have in the Royal Canadian Navy

So.. as a former CAF cook, a "purple trade", why I preferred the navy, from a culture POV. A 🧵

Great to see Amy Topshee and her friends head down to visit the ships in #Vancouver for #FleetWeek It’s their own version of the #NavyBikeRide !
