Today, the Martime and Air Commands will be restored to their previous titles of RCN and RCAF!

Going back for mummy are we?
Sorry for being a cinyc but that is a bit of good new actually. The use of "commands" to describe the various branches of the armed forces, IMHO at least, tends to degrade somewhat from the feeling of pride of service.

this is great news, Marcom was a bit too secular for me, espeically when you read up on RCN's history during WWII
