      Canada's very diverse, it'd be a headache to accomadate to everyone's cultural stuff (some cant cut their hair, some cover it, others cant shave, etc) so they pretty much just let everyone wear whatever. I like this approach more as well. As long as it doesn't hinder your work there shouldn't be any reason to restrict individuality so much.

      He's been an amazing Captian for us on the NAN. He is very personable. As a junior NCM, I've been able to just talk to him without feeling that weird pressure of talking to an officer. We've talked a ton about Formula 1 since we are both f1 fans. He is definitely one of the best Skippers I've sailed with.

    That was a fun couple of videos! It’s nice to see the Canadian Navy in action and it seems a lot different from stuff I’ve seen from the U.S. Navy. It looks like they allow for self expression like having their own hair cuts and I saw some earrings and stuff like that. Everyone seems to be in a great mood but not robotic. Serious while not overly serious. Humane, if you will. That’s refreshing to see.

    Great video Mike! The Canadian Armed Forces and Reserves just completed a military exercise in the town where I live in Northern Ontario! Besides being mostly on land and in the air, with a little bit of a boat exercise, it was played out very similar to the exercise that you got to be part of. In my town, they simulated a major flooding event. The coolest part was a Chinook helicopter that came to town and was landing and taking off, picking up and dropping off groups of soldiers. It was really interesting to see them doing their work and learning more about it all!
