Ashley Turner. I keep getting dead links, but she might be able to get you a copy herself. A stock photo of her with an M-72 got used alongside a reference to the big report last year, she took exception to her image being shoved together with it, and she wrote a letter to the folks who had...

Do you want to join the reserve or reg force? There may not be much in the way of an officer cadre at a reserve unit, if that's a surprise for you and you're looking for peers. Gender's pretty irrelevant. I've worked with males and females of a variety of backgrounds, as subordinates and...

Does anyone have a working, non-DWAN link for me to update an ILP? I could've sworn my branch chief showed me one last month, but I can't find it. FYI, conducted site and google searches, and attempted to post question to...

So my unit asked for names for a CBRN instructor course for a same-day nomination, and I'm in. Except they misunderstood what it was. Its apparently a "Decontamination Specialist" course. I can likely still go in order to get a greater understanding of CBRN stuff, but its most of a month away...

As part of a PC checklist for the RA-2000, I'm seeing a reference to checking the batteries by triggering an audio tone. 1) Select LB mode 2) Press the magneto switch to check the audio tone What is the audio tone I'm supposed to be hearing? The ringer on the phone? Something in the earpiece...

I believe it physically possible, as long as the camera in question has a flash.

Indeed. Splitting them back off, maybe calling the new trade "LCIS", and giving them spec pay would seem to be a pretty effective option for recruiting and retention.

Where does it come from for St Jean?

This is on top of ROTP that we're talking about. They're already getting subsidized education and an obligation to serve. This is $5000 on top of that and the ability to stay at home (eg. local university vs St Jean).

So I had a question from a private turn into a less-than-successful quest for information, and I'd like to collect information here for someone to reference in the future. Private asked what the difference between RETP and RESO was, and all I had for them was one goes to RMC (but pays tuition...

That first pic (groom's side) with the commentary just made my afternoon.

My father was mildly interested in the 90s and was made to feel unwelcome. He was explicitly told that he was not a veteran, as a member released with 20 years service. Leadership and membership was primarily the sons of WW2 veterans, said veterans apparently having some disdain for professional...

I have to prepare a briefing note to get higher to sign on to a pet project. Folks who would ordinarily offer advice are on course or tasking or otherwise indisposed. Failed to find any references here or elsewhere. Does anyone have one to point me at? DWAN or otherwise.

I'm with you on everything except the bolded part. Given that the last time that's happened was towards the end of world war 2, I don't see it as a factor. Yes, its conceivable that an earth-shattering event and change in government policy could mean a mandatory callup, and that liability...

Then give them $5000 to enroll. To be fair, make it for all incoming officers, repayable if they fail to complete their program. $4 million annually, divided by $5000, is 800 officers. Multiply that by 4 (every officer gets the bonus once, and generally gets a degree done in four years), and we...

Sandhurst only trains officers to be officers; its not a university. Why couldn't we similarly teach officers to be officers, rather than be in the game of running a university? If you want a great officer training centre, do that.

And when you've got three kids, two dogs, and two cats and you're posted into a market where three bedroom units literally do not exist, you should just shove your family into a 2 bedroom apartment?

This was published during the Reagan era.

Ugh. How does hunting not include centrefire weapons?

Did Jutland lead to the Flower-class or the doctrine under which it was deployed?
