Not that it matters, but just curious Wes what AWOCS means?  I know that it would be the equivalent to CFR or UTPNCM etc..., I'm just curious as to the terminology the Australian Army uses.  ( I lead a boring life ;D)

Simply amazing!  However, I hope it never gets used again (in the specific context).

Solid advice Zell! +1

I don't know if anybody feels the same way as I do, but does anyone feel tired of explaining the situation in Afghanistan to people? Everyone asks, and it gets sickening (and repetitive) knowing how ignorant many of the Canadian citizens are to the current war. I'm seriously thinking of taking...

WOW...That's one of those letters that you have to take a second to catch your breath with. This should be passed on to local media, and the emergency services that were participants in this ultimate show of respect and patriotism. I'm still a little blown away...

I wouldn't think the full sleeping bag is over kill, considering your course will end sometime in November.  It does get cold at night, even now.  Tac vests (if you haven't been issued one yet) will be issued on your arrival.  Not sure why you wouldn't want to being your air mattress, it is...

Does the stitching and the crossed swords look any better than years before?  As in did you compare them to an issue name tag? Just curious to see if they are better now...

This is a little off topic as to what you want, but am I the only one that has never heard of that trade? Are you an engineer? ??? Edit:  My mistake, Electrical and Mechanical Engineer.  Must have been a brain fart, those EME's are great! Cheers and good luck!

Huh?  Can you give more background info / fill out your profile a little more so we know where you are coming from? Cheers!

I noticed the same thing.  The thread is a little brighter, the stitching is thinner, and the crossed swords were simply "twigs" instead of the "almost 3d" definition on the issued name badges. This was two years ago though, maybe the product has improved since then?  Anybody?

Heard the same thing this morning on the radio, but haven't been able to find some hard evidence to back it up....You think the media would be all over this like white on rice...

Personally I find the BMI confusing and innaccurate.  I guess it goes by your body type.  It seems the BMI is good for some body types, but misleading for many others (if not most)

Did they figure out how to open the hatches on the Leopard yet?  ;D (true story)

You will either be recoursed or released, depending on your situation.  But search!

Some are using the A2 (which by the way is not shorter when extended (20" Barrel)).  Some are not.  You will know when you arrive in St.Jean. And as far as I know, you will use the webbing.

Correct.  You pay for your Room and Board out of your salary (You will more than likely need a loan, as OCdt. salary is often times not enough, depending on how you live and where you live).

Dude...I don't think you are going to be able to convince the CF to give you your summers too. One thing that isn't too clear with the ROTP program, is that first and foremost, you are an officer in the CF. You are NOT a student.  You have a full time job, during which you go to school, and...

Reserve or Regular? A shorter version of the C7?  Do you mean a C8?  Or do you mean the C7A2 with collapsible butt? Maybe you should do some research into Weapon's of the CF before you tell your section commander that you lost your "short C-7"...

No need to apologize... ;D I think I confused a lot of people with what I wrote.  I guess thats why my english teachers always put this comment: "Great essay but sentences need to be more clear and concise" :P Cheers!

OK? That's just huge a lifted exerpt from Wikipedia?!?  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReadyBoost Good information though for those wanting to know what Readyboost is / is capable of. Anyway it is true.  The lower speed / lower price USB flash drives aren't the best, and that is why you have to...
