-GCS/GSM are awarded for "those who serve/support operations in the presence of an armed enemy." Were the Pro Gaddafi forces considered an enemy? Was it not more along the lines of employing all necessary measures to prevent attacks on the civilian populace? -OSM is for "those who serve in or...

Libya OUP NATO medal available for purchase from the manufacture of all NATO medals: http://www.eekelers-centini.be/catalog/index.php?cPath=29_138_139&language=en&osCsid=bvcetq7br0vf1si7qjl2jrcg92 Denmark is awarding the NATO non article 5 medal with the Libya OUP bar: And no secret here...

Any update on possible medals for those who participated in Op Mobile? Will Canada simply adopt the NATO OUP Medal, or issue a GCS/GSM? Looks like the UK forces will go with the NATO medal for now...

True, yes "aircrew" is a better term to use. If they do go the GCS/GSM route, I wouldn't want to be the one who has to draw the lines on the map to decide who gets what. Would you give the tanker crews, fighter pilots, and aurora crews all the GCS? What would the navy get? Obviously the ground...

True, I doubt they will issue an OSM, but the GCS for the pilots and navy folk and GSM for all the Italy based pers sounds logical to me. Thoughts? Anyone have any inside info?

Well, considering that people are trading their NATO Kosovo medals in for Allied Force GCSs and GSMs, and that Canadians cannot accept the ISAF NATO medal for Afghanistan due to the GCS/GSM SWA, I think it's safe to say that Canada will be issuing either a GCS/GSM or OSM specifically for Op...

Sorry, this is going to be long winded. Basically I don't agree with the date the Career Manager is going to put on my promotion message following my Admin Review. it appears that he's applying the TCAT policy not the PCAT/AR policy. I'm looking for some opinions. I found out a couple of days...

Just found out that my EPZ date to the next rank is alot different from what I though it should be. Basically, I got medical RTU'd awhile back and then re-did the course the following year. Now, my career manager is telling me that my medical RTU was a training failure and "reset" my EPZ clock...

I have a friend that transfered from MARS to Artillery about 2 months ago and his CAP date is not until February 08.  However I just transfered over to the army about a month ago and I'm heading to CAP next week, so I'm assuming it depends on what trade you're going. Here's the anglo CAP...

Thanx for all the imput guys. I'm going to bring pretty much everything, but I'm 50/50 on the webbing at this point. Its been years since I've been in the field, so I guess it's better to have than to have not. the countdown to CAP continues....

I happen to be there during Nov 11, so I'm assuming we'll be at least wearing DEUs for that day. elim

My course (including the battle school prep week) goes from Sep 9th-Nov 23rd, and thats all 5 mods

About the DEUs, I was hinting at the possibility of taking just one long sleeve shirt, one short sleeve, and one pair of pants. I'm not a total retard.  :P I'm just trying to possibly save some space in my bags since I'm taking EVERYTHING with me to the airport. Course starts in 2 weeks and I...

I'm going on CAP in a few weeks and I'm starting to sort of all my kit and make sure I have everything thats on the kit list. Are there any things that are totally useless? I'm taking all my kit with me on the plane so I'd like to leave as much non essential kit as possible at home...

I already tried. They said they used to have them, but havent had them in a while and wont be getting anymore. thanx for the info though, i appreciate it
