It's people like him that give life to the old addage about green apples and shads which is really sad because there have been numerous reserves from Nanaimo who served with distinction in places like Aghanistan or Libya and recieved praise from the military community for their dedication and ability.
One bad apple.

140. (1) Every one commits public mischief who, with intent to mislead, causes a peace officer to enter on or continue an investigation by
(a) making a false statement that accuses some other person of having committed an offence;
(b) doing anything intended to cause some other person to be suspected of having committed an offence that the other person has not committed, or to divert suspicion from himself;
(c) reporting that an offence has been committed when it has not been committed; or
(d) reporting or in any other way making it known or causing it to be made known that he or some other person has died when he or that other person has not died.
This guy should have been charged with allegations so high profile.
I don't understand how you can file a false police report without criminal intent. I'm guessing this guy did it to himself and is seeking help. At the very least, if this is the case the cops should state that so people know what's going on.
I suspect I'll hear a bit of that shad bashing from my Reg force chums over the next few days. Quick response...
Russel Williams.
That doesn't count..................he was Air Force.
But I don't think you're gonna see the shad bashing that you would have a couple of decades ago. You guys are alot more professional than you were and I can attest to that having spent 2 years as the Cox'n on a gate vessel in the early 80's.

Buddy, having sailed on 280, they did way more crap than I ever saw on a Gate Vessel.
Reminds me of listening to a bunch of old chiefs talking about reservists.
"They just go to sea on those party boats." Followed by, "Hey, remember when you and Bloggins got loaded and snuck those hookers into the mortar well..."
Yeah... professional.

You may have a point, but I never saw a 280's crew walk off the ship and leave it unattended, I never ran aground in winter harbour during my 280 years, I never wiped out the triple pylons holding up pier 69 in Seattle on a 280 or cut the boat deck off another 280 and I sure as never saw an entire change of command including the crew in Port Hardy done with just a handshake between two officers and no paperwork.
All those things happened when I was on the boats which is pretty scary considering none of them were what you'd consider a prank or a joke and none of them were caused by the hands.
There was alot less accountability years ago and it went for both the Regs and Reserves. It was the shit runs downhill approach and Officers who fucked up got promoted while the hands got charged.
And for the record I was one of those Chiefs who used to regale the other Chiefs with stories about the pig boats but, after having spent over 2 years on the Porte Dauphine I at least had lived through what I said above and at no time did I ever slag the enlisted personnel who worked for and with me because they at times may have played like sailors but for the most part were professional when they had to be.........some of the Officers..........not so much.
Next post I'll go through what I saw on the DE's 280's and the Tanker which was just as bad if not worse as what I saw on the Pig Boats.

Never saw a Gate Vessel crew join a riot on Pier 70 and have their ship banned forever, never saw a Gate Vessel plow into a freighter in a fog bank because the radar was turned off (yea I know, that was a steamer) never saw a Gate Vessel punch holes in Provider's hanger nor regularly rip her stantions out each time it went alongside, nor did I see a Gate Vessel lose it's VDS in a 'whoops' moment.
I think the point we both saw is that it was a great time to be in the RCN during the Cold War

Exactly.
Both services did the same things only differently if you get my drift.
It was definately a ton of fun, but that had gone by the wayside by the time I got out. I guess 9/11 really changed peoples perspectives.
But back to the original stor. IMO it's guys like this clown who don't seem to understand that people form impressions by the actions of the few and in this case he's hurt his unit and the army reserves as a whole.
