The canadian military seams to let the service members retain thier personality. I like this.
thats how navy life is in most countries. its different being stuck on a ship
they deffinatly do, you can keep any hair even died. its less about breaking you dow like the us
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.
That’s post BMQ during bmq you aren’t treated as humans except by a few staff members
@@Nabee_Hthe Canadian chaplain service is vast and serves all cultures in the military
Now that's a commander I'd sail under, both of you got up at 2am to start smoking meat. I fucken love it.
yeah, definitely would help the moral of the crew, to have their captain do this for them.
@@MrShadow-qz9xj You are absolutely correct. That skipper seems fantastic. Though, and I do not want to come off as a pedantic a-hole when I say this, I think you may mean _"morale"_ instead of _"moral."_
@@eyespliced If it helps their morals as well, that's an added benefit. 👍
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.
I was only disappointed we didn't see the end product being served up. Everyone loves a deck barbecue.
Literally the best recruitment material I’ve ever seen. Whatever they paid, they should double it. But since that’s unlikely, you should ask for ten times the payment next time. I’d join up in a heartbeat.
capt seems like a legend
he is. exceptional leader. brought together two branches of the CAF harmoniously. set the conditions for future joint operations. influence is infectious.
Part 2 was as good or better than Part 1. This was an excellent series. The Canadian military needs more of these types of collaborations to show people what they do, day to day. Thanks!
That small ship is filled with pride, well done series that I almost felt I was there. Best Regards, Jay
I’ve been debating on joining the navy for the last couple years. This series might just be the reason i register. The Canadian armed forces have a special place in my heart and my mind.
You'll be dead in 2 years
Thank you so much for showing off the good work our Navy does every day. They get very little recognition and attention, but it was nice of you to showcase them. You really seem to fit in their group.
What a charge it must have been to receive patches from the crew; a thrill and an honor.
Wow, seeing the Navy, Rangers and Canadian Coast Guard at work, well done; really enjoyed the behind the scenes video.
Easily the best series you've ever made. It makes me extremely proud to know that folks like this are out there looking out for us. Also, it would be extremely hard for spies to get into our Navy based on the amount of please and thank you's being thrown around. Any outsider would be immediately busted, 😆
as a naval enthusiast, this is stuff from my dreams, soo cool!!
This series deserves an award. Absolutely amazing.
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.
Its a morale thing, the Cpt cooking. It places them at crew level, so that the crew feels like the captain is just as responsible for duties as they
wow, what an experience... thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
10:04 when he was trying so hard not to laugh from the camera staying on him😂
I’m happy because I’m Canadian
As a US Navy veteran, its really cool to see the similarities and differences between our navy and Canada's. Super cool video series.
This was a fresh change of pace from your usual videos. Thanks for giving us an insight into the lives of the Canadian Navy
BC is beautiful! This is one of the coolest videos you’ve ever done. Canadian navy, indeed all their armed forces are amazing!
This is such a great look inside the Canadian Navy and sailors. Thanks to all who made this happen, and to Mike.
I’m glad Oscar will pull through!
23:10 they made the person with the name "berger" the cook, 😂
Fun from start to finish and great camaraderie even in the wind and rain. Loved the Titanic moment - who could resist...
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank You for sharing your experience with the Canadian Navy.
Either you and Oscar have a "thing" going - or your acting chops have risen to new heights. In lieu of the oscar for best actor they seemed to have bestowed upon you that collection of patches..
🤣 You got to be King of the World once in your lifetime 🤣 I love how everybody helps everybody. Great video ❤
Aaaah Prince Rupert, the city of Rain (the kids often paint "BOWS" on the sign black)
What an awesome two videos!! All the best to the Women and Men of the Military! Can't wait for the next adventure, Mike!
I wish you can do more behind the scenes things like this, really enjoyed it and I wanna see more from you
❤ What an adventure to be part of and actually actively participate in! Amazing series, very informative and professional. And the crew are some wonderful people 👏 The skipper really sets an example of true leadership and getting up at 2am to smoke meat for everyone, i mean 😮 See you next time as well.
the whole crew is so nice, I'm from the delta area and get to see some navy vessels go by weekly so it's cool to see what they do on board
GO AIR FORCE. love our Brothers and Sisters in the NAVY, stay safe all
Love how kind and polite everyone is toward each other lol expected nothing more from the Canadian navy
Great video Downie. The people in military and public service are not highlighted very much. Want more video like this. Love your content❤
That Oscar is trouble! He coukd get a job as a crash test dummy tho when he leaves the Navy 😉
This was a great episode, I loved seeing the Navy and Rangers working together in the small community.
🎶IN THE NAVY 🎶🫡🛳️
Amazing.. I didn't think part 2 would be as good as part 1.. What a great insight into naval life.
Thanks as always.
Yay part 2! Thank you so , Michael!❤🎉 love the Navy , the Rangers and the Coasties☺️🥰🇨🇦🇺🇲
Very cool series! Very rarely do we get an onboard insight into Naval ops (...and in the US it's a completely different ball game w/media and the military). Proud 🍁
What a great experience. That crew embraced you!
Its so cool that you could do this, they don't seem to even treat you as if you are in the way. Pretty great!
Really enjoyed this series of vids.
Thank you to all of those men and women for their service.
Fantastic.
What a great series Mike! Such comraderie, and the drills were fun to watch....and well, Wonton Wednesdays look waaay better than Taco Tuesdays!! Thanks for taking us along....cheers from Ontario 🇨🇦
They will all be SO proud to see these videos! Fantastic!
Even a rainy, windy day on the west coast beats any day in the rest of the country. BZ DownieLive for showing a view of the Canadian Navy that few get to see.
AYYY CONGRATS FOR 800K LETS GO
Ayyyy thanks!
That captain is a real one 🫡
Prince Rupert receives one of the highest rainfall accumulations in North America annually
You might be relocated but love the Canadian lingo. And the translation to American. Touque -Beanie..
Good to see they're being fed well while serving our country.
Great informative video. 👍
I always saw Canada as my spiritual homeland, and this just confirms it.
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!
*points out he'll refer to this as a real life event from now on in the video* ... *less than 5 minutes later* "Good thing this is only an exercise!" lol Great video all the same, sir! Always a treat to see how our brothers and sisters up north run their Navy. Can honestly say, the food does look *MILES* better than any USN food I've ever had... Officially jelly.
All I can say is..”proudly Canadian” one and all. We appreciate your service. 🇨🇦👏 Excellent series Mr Downie !
Love it, always getting the captan in moments lol 😂
So much fun seeing people I’ve worked with on the west coast in the video I’m an east coast sailor but love my west coasters
Absolutely loved this series! I’m in the United States Air Force and have worked with the Canadian military here in Alaska a few times! More videos like this would be amazing!
The effort that goes is just amazing
I love how you promote the great services of the Canadian military
What a great thing the Canadian Navy let you do, and then to let you do the drills and train is amazing, take it in and enjoy it.
I swear is there anything Mike can't do.... i have been subscribed for a while and i have seen him do everything....
This is your best serious yet.
The earthquake drill might have been real, there was an earthquake and small eruption (underwater) 2 weeks ago in that area
What an awesome group of folks. I'm incredibly proud to call the RCN a partner and ally.
Not quite as spacious as the aircraft carrier I was stationed on for almost four years but thank you for the memories.
Wow wonderful video. Congratulations on 800k 🎉
All hands on deck! Thanks for the video!
I WAS WAITING SO LONG TO SEE THIS. THE LAST EPISODE WAS SO COOL
Amazing video, loved the part of dropping the anchor, literally so scary bc so much can go wrong
Makes me wanna join the Canadian navy
Would love for you to do more Military videos, its really cool to see your perspective :D
another great adventure. Godspeed 'sailor' - - great crew.
You're a badass Mike! Proud of you for taking on this adventure.
Great insight into the practical work the armed services perform in peacetime and the interaction with civil emergency services. You have done a great job over the two episodes in showing the importance of defense capability and interaction with civic services in remote areas.
I've not been to Prince Rupert or the remote villages of North B.C. (closest I've been is Prince George) so your coverage of the naval visit and training exercises has filled a travel gap for me. The early shots showing the intermodal port/rail facility was an eye opener for me. I have seen photos and google maps views of the area before, but seeing it from the naval vessel puts the size of it into perspective.
Keep up the good work! Cheers from down under.🙂🙂🙂
Probably one of the best videos I've seen for what the navy experience is. It would be super cool to see you go on exercise with the Army and the Airforce as well to get all three services.
Absolutely brilliant. What a great team bunch of ppl.
This video shows enjoy every moment of what you see❤
Great video and what an honour for you
Thank you. I love the show. Love to see an episode with Canadian airforce
Mike, Terrific Navy videos! Thanks for your efforts.
Loved these 2 episodes! What an amazing group of people you got to join! Makes me a proud Canadian! 🇨🇦
The correct pronouncion of boatswain is bow sn [ with the emphasis on the first syllable ]
I need to thank you. My 3 year old loves your video. It's the only time he sits still and is quiet 😂 we are from Vancouver too. We appreciate you!
That is so cool to hear! Thanks and I’m glad I can help, Jackie!
He asks you to make more sky train content if you ever get the chance 🤣
Two great episodes. Educational. Fun. Sensitive. A wonderful showcase of and tribute to those who serve and protect us. Proud to be Canadian.
I wish I was there too. Looks like a great adventure.
He might be the commanding officer but he still gets in the small boat one foot at a time. Any day you learn something new is a good day
Absolutely loved those 2 vids, you're on a roll Mike! Thank you!
You Sir, have earned yourself a subscription ... very well done! A very nice look in to everyday naval life, well presented and leaving me wanting more! I really enjoyed this!
Much appreciated!
18:54 is so funny! I just stumbled upon this channel and i love it, keep up the good work!❤
8:30 im sure they are 😂
Man BC is beautiful
I wanted to see you in one of their suits they look so cool it’d be cool to wear one while you’re there but I can understand why
Great job man keep up the great work
I loved this, please do more videos like this!
Really enjoyed!!
As someone who enjoys learning about military stuff thank you for journalism this! sounds like you had a great time and a great adventure!
Thanks our navy ❤
Traditionally in the Royal Navy the Boatswain was the Warrant Officer (Officer after 1953) in charge of the deck department, a title that dates back to the days of sail. In the Merchant Navy the boatswain is basically the deck foreman and rates as a Chief Petty Officer. It's wierd to me that the Canadian Navy seems to use the title "boatswain" for any member of the deck department, rather than just the one in charge.
Ah yes a sequel I subscribed on the first video of the navy I love the adventure last night I saw the northern lights from oregon
And that's why there's life like it, in any part of the military. I enjoyed my 17 years, mostly.
Awesome video Mike!
