It seems to me you are going about this backwards. Instead of asking if motorcycles could be used to fill various roles, you should look for capability gaps and then ask what would best fill them. If the answer happens to be motorcycles then so be it. But don't try to shoe horn equipment into...

Why use Cav guys as dispatch riders? They already have enough important tasks on their plates. Additionally, it is a taskfun already filled by the Signal Corps. The signal units supporting an HQ are outfitted with a rover section. The secondary role of that section is dispatches. Which makes...

How many soldiers are in a group of 27 sailors and soldiers if there are four fifths as many sailors as soldiers? If there are four fifths as many sailors as soldiers there are four sailors for every five soldiers. Four sailors plus five soldiers makes a group size of nine. (4+5=9) The total...

You don't happen to need a Sig, do you?

The boiling vessel will work with the vehicle off. The generator must be on and supplying power. The generator powers the batteries, the batteries power everything in the bison. Sometimes the prosine will not supply power from the generator to the to the batteries if they are too cold or if it...

What version of the Bison are you using? (C3I, Amb, Mrt, Mrv?)

My though process reading this post: What?! That is terrible advice. Don't the clerks have enough to deal with, without you trying to change your baby in the orderly room? Oh...that OR. Well, that makes a lot more sense.

From the QR&Os: 16.16 - SICK LEAVE An officer or non-commissioned member may be granted sick leave not exceeding:     two continuous calendar days by the member's commanding officer without the recommendation of a medical officer;     30 continuous calendar days, not including any sick leave...

Ooops, my mistake. Edit incoming. I've talked to my stores man and he is going to walk me through the process of submitting the proper paperwork to the correct personnel. I know that problems won't get solved if they aren't identified.

Was issued it, took it on ex, a week later it was broken in two places. Along the back where the helmet meets the straps there is a a connector made of a thin piece of plastic. How long do thin pieces of plastic last in the field? Not long. Great concept, poor execution.

It depends where you are posted. In the last twelve months my unit has been to Wainwright for exercise twice (totaling about a month and a half), spent a moth in the sub-arctic and to Dundurn for a couple weeks. The twelve months prior to that we spent almost two months in Wainwright (again on...

CPGear has a few morale patches, although the selection isn't that great. However, they will make custom ones. So you should be able to get them to mock up what you want. From their site: "Don't see the exact Slip-On you are looking for? We do a huge variety of Crests, Patches, Badges and Name...

Officially blessed or not the change has already begun. We have already received pers who have completed their ACISS DP 1 (QL 3) in my unit, and sent people on their ACISS DP 2 (QL 5). As far as CFSCE is concerned Sig Ops, Line men and LCIS Techs don't exist. We all know the school exists in...

Completing any course will make you more competitive compared to other applicants, so yes your course will help you join the trade. The army will teach you what it believes you need to know when you get in so I wouldn't worry about what course you are taking. Sig Ops will soon cease to exist...

Where are you posted? I just want to know so I can avoid it because it sounds like you have a shitty chain of command. Or maybe there are things going on with those two you don't know about.

A bunch of Sigs trades are being rolled into one super trade. The ACISS trade will replace Sig Op, Lineman and LCIS Tech. Once through the initial training ACISS pers will be employed in a tac rad job while being exposed to the line, tech and IS sides of the trade. The opportunity will then be...
