I'm not sure if the trade has the signing bonus for applicants with required experience or education. Best call your recruiting center for that one. That would be about the only consideration your existing status might get you. You will have to do the entire 6 month MP QL3 course. Is this...

I am being facetious, of course. I'll paraphrase someone else: Non end user dictating end user requirements. Drives me up the fucking wall, but I refuse to give up and be silenced.

I don't remember being consulted about this, I would have taken them! Woukd be a sight better than training for convoy escorts using MilCOTS with a C9 out of the back window. As far as the original question goes: probably not nearly as much from our wish list as we would think.

In the crudest way: People will bang. Take like minded people, put them together and relationships are bound to happen. Are we to "fire" everyone who gets in a relationship outside of their rank in the military? What happens if one of them gets promoted? That said I should probably expand on my...

Ahh, good ol' nostalgia. You guys are cute. I've been saying for a while than even when we switch over to 40MW plasma rifle, you can take my M16FOW rifle away from my cold dead hands.

Yeah, no. I've seen many relationships between members of different ranks, some in supervisory roles, including my marriage. My wife started out as my section I/C and as I like to joke: I slept my way to the top!. Kidding aside, as long as the relationship doesn't interfere with operations, it...

If you mean someone being taken badge for badge, no. I'm not aware of any member who got in bypassing the MP QL3 or going through a shortened version. At least one member of this board contacted me because he is in the process of joining the MPs while already a member of another police force.

As per title, I am looking for one or more 2"x3" IR Canadian velcro Flag IR in Grey/Back. I can find the Green/Black easy enough and I might settle for those if I can't find what I am looking for. I tried the obvious places, no luck. I had one and traded it with an American, thinking I could...

My personal experience with Defendo (Hapkido) and seeing people try and do some ninja stuff when real pressure is applied leads me to the following conclusion: You can become effective using one of many different martial art, if you put a lot of time and effort into it. In GENERAL going to your...

This article from Jane's reporting on recommendations that China should plan on purchasing 400 Y-20 Heavy Transport planes (65t cargo). It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out what these planes could be used for...

No. ETA: My club does not. Other local clubs require orientation and/or have ROs on staff (who can be quite obstrusive) and there are also clubs which require the black badge course in order to shoot from a holster (and only on specific ranges). YMMV

Right. So no mention of the proportion of these deaths related to suicides. What would be better: Controlling the tool or better mental health support? If you want to kill yourslef, a gun is one of the options. Remove the firearm and there will still be plenty of ways to do it. So whats the...

Repeat after me: Voo-Lay voo muh don-ay un koo duh pee-ay dun le khuu, sil-voo-play.

Damn it. That'll teach me!

I disagree with #1 to a certain extent. People extole the "grey man", and there are some benefits to this. I do think that doing so is not in the best interest of the recruits and the Forces. When we have eager recruit, it is easy to tell them to shut up and do as they is told. It is much harder...

He already has gone through BMQ. The issue here is that taking care of the new brown/tan boots was not specifically covered, as I don't remember any of the troops having them at the time (c. fall 2013).

Oh. My gods.

The best I can do is this: http://army.ca/forums/threads/33594.0.html I'm pretty sure your answer is in there, sadly I don't have time to dig for you right now.

No. IIRC the muzzle velocity difference between a 20" C7 and a 16" C8 gives an effective range, where the M855 (~C77 Ball) will fragment reliably, of 150m and 90m respectively. So you "lose" about 60m where the rounds MIGHT not have as good of an effect. Which considering that a (my) section...

Dr Roberts is knowledgeable and a great resource. I engaged him regarding ballistics vest and their testing and he sent me some very useful information. (Info I used to send a memo regarding the upcoming replacement of the MP OPD vest.)
