Just again looking for anymore information concerning any possible deployments with TF-A. There has been a couple positions posted up that I have applied for and I have also sent memos up requesting information concerning positions, nothing heard back for either. Also if anyone knows which Land...

Thanks for the heads up that's good news. Will the CANFORGEN also be put up on the CFPM website? And have the  requirements for application been changed much if you have any info.

Sorry for Reviving this thread, I have read the CP recruiting campaign web page and see that it states applications must be submitted NLT Sept 2008. I was wondering if there is a new campaign for this year or next, if anyone has some insight it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

We  get our validation during OJT at the Unit.  DP2 Recce Obs Course has a field ex but as the course itself is only 14 days  the field ex isn't long at all.  It consists of the 4 Tactical movements and establishing an OP and doing Obstacle drills.

Thanks for the clarification on the distribution list! The example helps alot. Also good to know about the Dates. First memo I've attempted to write, I understand its taught on Reg BMQ but not on Res BMQ, instead we get on PLQ and before that its all "OJT". Thanks again!

Question... Can a memo be addressed to two different people at once? or is the proper way to have two of the same memos printed addressed to the specific people. And  if you can address a memo to two individuals how do you do it? PROTECTED A Memorandum 3350-2 (Pers) 8 Sept 09 41 TP LDR, OPS...

It's a little rough back home. The Regiment has been kicked but we're starting to get back on our feet now. Suffering a major shortage at all leadership levels. Will take your advice and send up the CoC for approval. I was sort of creating a performa from some PAMs and lessons.

Thanks for the info. All we have kicking around at the regiment is the Patrol Commanders Performa. I am on tasking with the school so i'll ask the Course staff if they have any SOP's or performas for drivers. Thanks for the heads up.

Hey Guys, I am looking to put together a little performa for dvr/gibs with little things that will make the job easier. So far I have included most Reports and returns, Hide/Harbour Drills, OP Drills, Veh State, Notice to move states, Weapons states, and the 16 Steps to Battle Procedure...

So back from SBT and Virginia, with an overall good experience. The whole exercise was based around TF skills. As Armoured Recce we spent our time concentrating on Convoy escort duties, 5s and 20s and IED contact drills. Our first day was on a range firing the C6 mounted. This range day was...

I think CCrs and especially Troopies have enough on the go at one time to keep them content, with commanding, comms from multiple nets, navigating, maintaining situation awareness, etc. they need not worry about pulling the trigger. Please correct me if I have strayed out of my lane, only been...

Gunners on a vehicle are usually an NCM position. Officers are positioned as the Crew Commander of their callsign, as well as command the other callsigns of their troop. I don't know for certain, and I am sure one of the many Black Hatters will be here to clear it up, but I believe the CC has...
