Yeah, well funny story on that actually- when I exchanged my old ones (for more old ones I see, with no blue knob) they tried to give me a set that was clearly used, and well used at that, with mud and everything on them.  I just exchanged the one pair, and told them that I wasn't too keen on...

Is there an easy way to tell whether or not a pair of WWB has the new sole or the old one?  If there isn't a quick way to tell just by looking, then there would at least be a different NSN for the new version (I think)- anyone happen to know the new NSN? The guy I talked to at my local clothing...

This is nothing new.  In my travels through certain undisclosed mid-eastern locations, these were quite common.  Some of the locals would wear western style bathing suits to go swimming, and some would wear these.  What was mind boggling was to see a local wearing one of these sitting right next...

'Cause mine cost a grand total of 8 bucks, and I think wearing Cadpat with #3 makes you look like a dork.

I wore mine a few days ago.  You wear it as outerwear with order of dress #3.  Yes, your rank pins go on the collar tips, with appropriate branch/corps epaulettes on the shoulders.  If I recall correctly, you're entitled to 4 sets of rank insignia, so if you don't have your allotment go down to...

First, the CRITCP (big list of Comm Res courses and when they start) is currently at version 2 for the current training year.  Last year it went up to version 7 before the courses started.  Changes are almost certainly going to happen between now and Jun.  That isn't to say that it's impossible...

I'd love to swing by.  Pls pm me with timings, etc.

Having Reg Force Staff is one thing, being in B Sqn is another.  If they were in B Sqn then why did I keep seeing their staff at the F Sqn O Gps?

Maybe this is just a point of language, but nothing was modified.  The Reg Force TP was adopted for reserve use.  No modification at all. I'm pretty sure that isn't correct.  None of those courses fell under B Sqn.  The combined exercises are run by the School- not any individual Sqn. The...

As many of us know, and as has been touched on in several threads I've read lately, the boys in the sandbox are being granted various freedoms with regards to dress policy, especially when outside the wire.  Modifications to uniforms have been approved as in the case of the sleeve mounted...

Wow, I didn't realize that there were so many standards floating around. The way we do it (and the way I always thought it worked for everyone) was as follows: QL3- Basic Trade Badge i.e. the main insignia only QL4- (At least one QL4 for those trades with many, or so I thought)- main insignia...

The reason that the Comm Res Aide memoire gets updated every few years is that Sgt E. at your unit is an extremely conscientious and dedicated individual.  At this point in time it isn't an official publication, but rather a personal initiative that he works on regularly.  He re-wrote the...

This is now officially just a sh**house rumor that has been de-bunked.  I just nominated a Pte for a tour, and he certainly doesn't have PLQ.

Perhaps I wasn't clear, I didn't mean that the SNCO mess is co-located with the Offr mess, and I didn't mean to suggest that it was the norm.  It is true in some cases though that in each of the Offr and SNCO mess "lines" there are quarters, a dining hall, and a mess all together or at least...

Most bases nowadays have an all-ranks dining hall that anyone can eat at, but in a lot of cases the SNCO and Officers' drinking messes are co-located with quarters and a dining facility.  If you're living in, you eat, sleep, and drink your beer all in the same building.

These figures are misleading: the overwhelmingly male population of the gulf states is due to their extensive use of migrant workers from South Asia.  The gulf states also employ significant numbers of foreign technical experts-- primarily North Americans and Europeans.  Both groups contain few...

Well I work in the ops cell of a Comm Res unit, and this is definitely news to me.  That isn't to say that it can't possibly be true, but until I see the message....

Where did you hear this?  There is no CRD on the matter, and we have guys over there at the moment who aren't PLQ qualified.
