I've been trying to do that for 36 years.
In the history of our people, they've always joined the army, the infantry. They're snipers. They're trackers. They joined to do what they're good at doing. The navy is on the west coast and the east coast. If you're used to being in.... If you're a Newfoundlander, you're going to join the navy because you're used to that way of life. That's why there are very few indigenous people in Nova Scotia who have joined the navy. It's always army for everybody.
I think we have to start showing ourselves more what the navy is about and what we can do. I know this is something Admiral Topshee has done with the year-long program, and it's starting to be very successful.
