On a ship 'defending' Vancouver Island.

Yeah. Way to devastate the Soviets and defend North America. From almost literally as far away as possible. There was literally a continent between you and this conflict.

Just because you were on a boat somewhere while it was happening doesnt constitute 'participation.'

Anyways, I digress. just harmless little jokes. I know our Armed Forces do the best they can with the limited support our Government gives them.

Mocking the Navy is always fair game, don't want to be mocked don't join the Navy.

Master Seaman & Leading Seaman are silly rank names

They seem to have carved out a niche of going where it's too expensive to open a Tim Hortons and/or are right next to a Timmies to get the "I'm not waiting 30 minutes jn the drive thru" when the line is too long crowd.

You want coffee in Inverness? Robin's.

Drive thru is line up to the street at Tim's? Robin's.

Getting gas and don't want to make a second stop for coffee? Robin's.

Plus you get the old men going on about how it's better than Tim Hortons anyway.

Is there still a fake palm tree by the Robin's in Inverness?

I'm not sure... I'll check this summer. I don't recall but it could have a spot light on it in the parking lot and I likely wouldn't notice.
