I am aware of that...  but, it is a Hiab crane and I've never heard anyone refer to it as a MHC; even the staff on my course referred to it as the Hiab. Either way, I'm looking for information on that big crane thing behind the cab of the HLVW. Call it whatever you want; Hiab, MHC, "the arm"...

I'm looking for some information on the Hiab crane on (most) HLVWs. At one point in time, shortly after my HLVW/Air Brake course, I had some information about the Hiab, but have since misplaced it.  Since I rarely have access to the DWAN, can't find anything useful on google and haven't found...

WRT 10/10/10;  101010 in binary is 42 in decimal, which any Douglas Adams fan will tell you is the meaning of life, the universe and everything...  if that's important to you... As for 11/11/11;  111111 in binary is 63 in decimal base, which means nothing... to me anyway. Besides that, it...

This is pretty much how I've felt (been made to feel) since coming home and asking for help... and not just from VAC.

The Drum Major for the RHFC wears Trews on parade and technically the RSM is entitled to wear them on parade as well. I believe there are a few other parade positions which are entitled to them, but I really on ever see the Drummy wear them. At one point, the CoC (for RHFC) were toying with the...

Sorry... my bad. 

Here's the crux of the issue; the citations are being issued to the Battle Groups as they existed during their tour, which technically ceased to exist as a "unit" once the tour was over.  Thus, the citations are technically being awarded to the members of all the units who participated (not the...

:salute: Good to hear the units will be recognized for a job well done (all of them, not just the 1 RCR BG), but I have a question about this; is this citation for the Battle Group as a whole, as in everyone who was part of the BG would be awarded/entitled to wear the unit citation insignia, or...

What does WWII have to do with "THE FIRST WORLD WAR, BAR FIGHT VERSION BTW; good story.

I think this is a clear winner (and by winner, I mean loser) Hard Ticket to Hawaii Saw this years ago on late-night cable.  It was so bad I had to watch just to see if it got any worse... and it did. Just watch THIS 'jem' of a scene...  horrible.

I will "third" this!  Absolutly contact JPSU/IPSC. JPSU/IPSC has a lot of resources* and direct lines to VAC, D Med Pol and SISIP.  (* I would go as far to say "a metric sh!t-load" of resources.. far more than can be written here.) I was lucky enough to have a very switched on assisting...

It will all come together with practice and patience...  In the many years I've been playing, our band has only had one D/M who actually moved up from being a drummer.  The rest were chosen because their head fit in the bear skin hat (no even a joke... those things are expensive).  Marching and...

I started playing back in 1997 and I still have trouble with co-ordination sometimes... More practice. Once you have tunes memorized (on the chanter), then you can play them by instinct on the pipes and concentrate on breathing technique for each tune (when to breath & when to squeez).  Once...

I seem to recall a old piper once telling me to fix cracks in wood pieces, specifically drones, with super glue or fingernail hardener... have you ever heard of that? I would really like to fix up this chanter, since it's a pricy one to replace.  If anyone else has a suggestion, I would greatly...

Seemed silly at first, but that's an excellent analysis.  Good post. "When you find a lone nut doing something great, have the guts to be the first person to stand up and join in"

Pretty much... Basically, their implication was; "you're getting the set amount no matter what; how would you like it?" As stated in a previous post; they're not revisiting the question of lump-sum vs. pension...  now they're just looking at the result of this question and how it's affecting...

Regarding the question on the survey pertaining to the 'lump sum', if memory serves, I believe it was presented as such; "would you prefer to recieve your compensation all at once or in small amounts over a longer period of time?"  As opposed to what everyone assumed would be the question...

Sitting in Law, Ethics and Professional Practices Class (for Engineering - Civil and Mechanical) Student to Teacher (who is also a lawyer) in response to how the student would act when faced with an ethical problem; "There's a difference between what I'd write on an ethics exam and what I'd...

Having been a recruiter in a 31 CBG Unit; I can offer a bit of an explination for this.... Kind of. Due to budget restrictions, PRes units don't usually have a specific "unit recruiter". Rather, this task is coupled with a full time Class B position or done by someone on a part time basis.  The...

Location: Law, Ethics and Professional Practices class (college - usually 3rd year course for engineering students) Situation: teacher explaining the midterm exam next week. Teacher; "you will require the following items; notes, text book and a dictionary" Student in back of class; "what do...
