Do what makes sense to you but I know three law school grads who are artillery officers. Posting options for artillery are basically the same as armour. As an artillery officer you will likely start on a gunline leading soldiers who are shooting howitzers. After that, you will likely move on to...

I have always found that a mix of the issued air mattress with a foam pad is good to go. It is key to put both inside the bivy bag though so they don't launch off into space in the night. If on a cot, the foam mattress with a fitted sheet over it to keep it in place is money as well.

ATOC runs all the time. If you are Reg Force, it is Career Manager loaded based off of CoC recommendations/ priority.

A little off topic but there are multiple cases of people applying to foreign militaries and having their experience recognized. The ones that I am familiar with are all Commonwealth. There are a relatively large number of former Canadian officers serving in Australia for example.

This is spot on. Your trade course will be much more punishing on you than basic. I`d suggest you speak with a doctor with a specialty in sports medicine and see if there is anything you can do to improve your knee. Before I joined I was having some IT Band issues around my knee probably based...

Having them work at an Army PRes unit may not be the worst thing anyways. I`m sure they can help relieve some of the admin burden and getting some experience with an Army unit would not be the worst thing a young, dashing RCAF officer could do.

We don't send NCMs to "finishing school" and expect them to uphold high standards as well. Good luck bringing up at a summary trial that the Pte in question is only 19 and should be given a pass on this one. We should expect more from our young leaders. The vast majority of officers are DEO...

Check out this thread and then join as an Artillery Officer. https://army.ca/forums/threads/1565.0.html

What is SWS? Can you talk me on to the DWAN link or PM me a link?

Will aside, reunification would be a disaster for the ROK. Significant foreign aid is pushed to the ROK to contain the DRPK that would likely evaporate on reunification. The ROK would need to take on the burden of 25 million people who will require significant investment to integrate into the...

This is not dissimilar to the "Minuteman" program several states use with their National Guard. I worked with a Lt from the Florida National Guard who had his full university paid for. His return was 7 years in the National Guard with with one period of active service on 270 day orders. Seems...

We could always start with an armoured brigade in Canada?  :dunno:

4GS are not the only ones in the UAV game. Each Regiment has a STA Bty with a UAV Tp within it. The 4GS SUAVs are substantially more capable than the Raven-B MUAS employed at the CS Regts but they are still very capable of conducting fire missions. The time to spool up a mission is no slower...

But have we stopped to consider re-purposed 8" naval guns for the PRes? Maybe bring back coastal defence?

This thread has gone from C3 howitzer replacement all the way to nuclear 8" howitzers...
