The course in which you speak is the PSWQ, Platoon Support Weapons Qualification. Included within are modules on: C6 MG W/SF Kit, 60mm Mortar W/bipod ERYX SRAAW (M) Certainly this course isn‘t as in depth as it‘s predecessors but it should be all that is really required. Comms is not part of...

One guy that I know did Ranger first, then went on PPF. When he got feed up with the crap that comes with the course he pretty much said screw this, I‘ve got my Ranger course....and PI and MFPI and MOI and the list goes on...

The Pathfinder course is definitly not a prereq to the Ranger course. In fact, I personally don‘t know anyone who has both courses. You can wear the Ranger tab on your DEU‘s.

The platoon 2ic will pick somebody(pte/cpl) qualified to do the job. Some see it as a good job, others don‘t. It‘s all in how you look at it...

Cadets can be so pompous and stupid some times. You only told us exactly who you are, pretty much. Are you trying to get kicked out of Cadets or just trying to look cool on the "War Diary" Maybe you should change your name and try to blend in and lay low for a while. I was in Cadets for 7 years...

Each platoon would have a designated infantryman signaller(hopefully qualified!) The OC would have his own infantryman signal. And the Company would have a Sig Op attatched from the battalion sigs platoon.

31 RCR?? What a joke, are you for real?? I‘m sure these units would go for it as well. They would like to give up their brass and heritage to all belong to the same unit combined. Being in the same Brigade should be enough. With the sad state of our Reserves(numbers) and our military in...

I‘m pretty sure that the bulk of the old CUCV‘s were disposed of in 95‘, well, that‘s the last time that I drove one. Then we hade to do the conversion to that piece of crap LSVW. I swear that those things have set a rusting out record, pure JUNK!!

Night jumps aren‘t that dangerous. I‘ve got a lot more night jumps than any thing else... On the course the first jump is bare-a-ss and the rest are ALL full equipment. 2xday FE, 1 night FE, and 1 ramp FE. And if you‘re lucky to score a #6 it‘ll be a bare-a-ss freebee, DD or ramp.... If you...

A rigger performs all the tasks that you would expect. At the depot, they receive the expended chutes, clean them, repair them, and repack them to send back out. At the units, they receive the fresh chutes, give them a "Riggers Check" and shelve them untill time to use. After the shelf life...

Looks and sounds like a scam. the "Kettleballs" are really no different than regular weights, just maybe a little harder on you wrists. All I could really say about this guy is that he has his own angle. The real ‘secrets‘ to his fitness program would be in his routines that are in the...

Yeah there‘s a couple of different one‘s. There‘s a club for just about anything here!!

No Problem. Web Site: 4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards

Badger: I would love to see you do chin-ups with 30+ lbs on your back. That‘s just foolish. Now if the weight were around your feet/ankles, that would make more sense. Have you ever really tried to do chin-ups like that? (with weight on you back) It doesn‘t really work. The Para test is...

Obviously you have to be nominated for the course in the first place. There has to be a reason to nominate you. Of course being fit doesn‘t hurt at all, and having a good attitude. In the Regs, if your checked out (or just lucky) you could score both courses in your first year. In the...

Don‘t get an army tattoo, especially that one. No offense, but what the **** is with all these gay army tattoo‘s lately??? But then again, it‘s your body...whatever...

There‘s at least three female troops & 2 officers in 1 RCR. There is only one female in 3 RCR. She‘s only been here since last January.

Our exercises can be anywhere from 1 day (or night) to over 6 weeks. Our brigade (2) has an Ex in Wainright this spring that starts after March break and ends in mid May. Lets just call it RV 03‘. An Exercise doesn‘t have to be long to be good though. Some of the best ones are the short...

You at least need your JLC/5B. That‘s one pre-req that they won‘t drop. The PPF is a leadership course.

The pre-req‘s for the Patrol Pathfinder Course are as follows: -PLQ=Primary Leadership Course. -Basic Para -RECCE (recommended but can be overlooked) -DZ/LZ Controller (usually done just prior to the course) The course that is running now will be over in a few days and is only the forth course...
