    The Eternal Debate- helmet scrim; fact or fiction

    I wonder if anyone has ever lost their helmet after putting it down with scrim on it. There's no way the CoC could deny THAT lost kit report...

    First FIeld Artillery Platoon Leader

    Right now in 2 RCHA,  there are a number of female officers including: the 2I/C, BC F, BK HQ, 1 FOO/FAC and a gun line officer. The last BK E was also a woman and when were are in Bragg with the 82nd people seemed to be pretty amazed that a woman was the BC. I guess for us it's so normal at this...

    New Service Uniforms

    And that strong military heritage did not end with unification during the mid 60's. There has been three generations of soldiers that have built their own traditions since that time. There are probably some people that don't like them but I have never heard anyone complain about the DEUs in my...

    One IC on member's PERS are there serious career implications? can it be removed

    I'm not sure if this is just a unit thing but at my unit IC's may have little to no impact on PERs. Our PER guidance this year only requires us to mention a RW or C&P in relation to conduct on/off duty. However, an IC may be used to justify lower scoring during the meriting process and can be...

    7 injured, 1 killed at Ft Bragg

    OS, ya I saw the same post. Given the small numbers of M777s operating around the world today, these accidents are starting to add up.

    Coolest WW 2 plane (split from F-35 thread)

    None of these were bad choices but the A6M Zero (Reisen) has to be up there. The lines on that aircraft are beautiful. Here's an fighter that is pure offensive that relies on manoeuvre and pilot skill to stay alive rather then heavy armour. It was a fighter designed for fighter pilots. With a...

    BMQ Regular Force 2005 - 2017 [Merged]

    Whatever you do, please don't roam around town with your flat-top haircut wearing your dog tags outside your shirt. No one is impressed. :)

    7 injured, 1 killed at Ft Bragg

    Maybe. Imagine something similar to a firing pin striking that small indented part. OS will correct me I'm sure if I'm wrong but I think the 105mm primer requires something like 7lbs of pressure. It's recessed somewhat so you would need an awfully pointy rock. Just to be clear though, the M777...

    Graduate Studies / Master Degree / PhD [MERGED]

    Or you can submit an ILP and do a Masters in your own time. The likelihood of being able to do this in any format other then online is unlikely given the requirements to have a day job and the location of most bases. Also, the funding for ILPs is changing in the new fiscal year to only 50%...

    North Korea (Superthread)

    The only possible hope is that the North Korean army lacks the logistical abilities to supply its million man army. I strongly doubt that however given the distances involved in that area and the fact that they will have the ability to choose the time of any strike. Realistically, I think the...

    M109 Shredding

    The Royal Cypher is not our colours, the gun itself is. From the Standing Orders: Point to note though. The guns are not consecrated in the way that an infantry's colours would be thus making disposal through these means possible. If I'm not mistaken, I believe that flag colours are hung...
