This thread is full of judgement...and is one of the main reasons that often keep soldiers from seeking the attention that they may need.  Everyone is entitled to their opinion.  Who are we to judge if someone is suffering or not.  Last I heard PTSD did not have any boundaries regarding rank or...

Greenrubberduckie, I have just been reading your questions.  Some good advice and answers from those who have answered.  I have a question for you:  Is your mother tongue English?  I have been reading your posts and I have noticed that English grammar does not appear to be your strong point...

Hi, I have OT'd four times and went through the nause of having paper work lost, withheld, whatever you want to call it.  There is good advice given in the posts above.  OTing is not easy and the sytem is designed to weed out those who are not serious.  Half the battle is ensuring that your i's...

RT, In one of your earlier posts you wrote you were working the angle of staying in shape... Why do you need to work an angle...Who are you trying to convince - your wife or yourself? If you haven't already done so you need to talk to your wife about why you want to become an Engineer and...

Another point to consider is that, due to manning shortfalls, many INT positions are being filled by Air and Navy INT Os and INT Ops.  The ASIC is full of air and navy personnel - and they quickly learn about the army way of things.  Let's not forget that the ASIC also has civilians doing...

Let's face it, every trade has training and standards issues.  My main point is give the DEO course of action a chance to either prove successful or unsuccessful.  Maybe there is a requirement to put them through CAP and/or phase III infantry first then on to BIOC.  Just a thought.  Afterall...

As a retired INT O I am going to add this for thought.  Over the past several years I have seen some very good INT Os come in from Combat arms trades.  Most of them have had several tours and a lot of operational experience.  Some are good INT Os, others not so good.  However, they do not come...

Mr. Wallace, I do not believe the families went to the exact spot where their loved ones died. Your comments, as entitled to make them as you are, in my opinion border on being "out of line". Perhaps you should use your powers as directing staff to lock this topic before it gets out of hand. ...

People should lighten up a little...This is not like the families did this on their own and just showed up in Kandahar - unlike a certain Liberal MP.  The trip obviously had the blessing of DND in order to get the appropriate approval and waivers, etc.... Has there been any indication of whose...

I was on R3.  Most units, and sub-units had patches made.  However, they were not officially authorized to wear them- although they often did.  I do beleive that only the ISAF, PRT, TCCC, and Starlight patches were authorized.  Making unit coins was a popular venture.  I know ASIC, C-IED, EOD...

Certain occupations require specific Degrees. Thus, if you are currently in an occupation that requires an engineering degree and you are failing, you would be required to change occupations.  The length of time it takes to be re-assigned varies.  Are you at RMC or a civilian university? Have...
