Well, as stated many times before this post - get some experience in the combat arms. Maybe join the reserves while still going to school. I do not know how easy it is to OT from InfO to IntO but that is a possibility. It may seem really pertinant to you that there were 20x IED attacks spread...

It's not just about your HS GPA. They also consider your extracurricular activities, things you do where you have been able to show leadership qualities (ie. captain of your basketball team). They also look at your volunteer work and quality of character. Think of it as this: you are applying...

Ouch, dem words hurt, Jim. ;) To the OP Remember the culture shift from being a civvie to the first days at BMQ? It's kinda like that every step you go up BMQ > BMQ (L) > BIQ > Basic Para > Basic Recce > etc. One thing to look at is this: they want to look at how you may react when bullets fire...

Getting mail isn't something you are disciplined for at Basic. Sure, you may be instructed to do pushups or sing or some other light-hearted activity. It is not a punishment though. If you get to do pushups for a letter, consider it an opportunity to work on your pushups. If you are normally...

I am here. You want pictures of someone's plaque on the Wall of Honor. Message me particulars and I will see what I can do. Send particulars also if you want HighRes images, simple jpgs, etc. Sorry I didn't read this board beforehand.

SupTech Supply Technician A person who makes sure all the army's assets are accounted for, drives vehicles, and makes sure that troops have their beans and bullets on hand. After the military, you can get jobs working in supply/warehouses at a higher pay level than entry warehouse workers. I...

Indeed. In my opinion, the 3 choices are very diverse. Talk to a RC and maybe you can find a choice that you will like (perhaps even more) that is open right now. I hear SupTech is hurting for people right now.

By having this whole thread dedicated to this user's last words, doesn't that make the above statement null and void?

You need to do a TRA (Threat Risk Assessment). Talk to your RPs or the base MP's Security Section. They will be able to definitely tell you what items need to go on one, if any. I am pretty sure they all will. If your Patrol is less than 4wks away, ask them (politely) to rush it.

Correction made.

Regardless if the trade is accepting mbrs from the street or not, if you REALLY want to be an IntO and your heart is set on it, I would highly suggest you get a commission in another trade first and then transfer over. Furthermore, I would suggest taking a job in a Combat Arms if you want to...

I may get yelled at by locals with posting this, but MY OPINION IS Avoid living on the east end (Abbotsfield, Beverly - 40st-20st and 137ave - 100 ave) as there is a lot of crime in that area. Avoid living on or within a few blocks of 118ave East of 97st. Avoid living in Ft Sashatcheewan -...

Isn't there the option to take a year LWOP without losing your job? If so, then the OP would just re-sign and keep his job with putting in an OT. That's what I understand from my experience with administration

Thank you Mike... You have now cleared up my evening so I can watch Slice and figure our which dress some woman said yes to :facepalm:

I'm not sure on particular details. I'll have to watch it again.

9th Company ;D

*blink blink* Wow. Isn't this type of scenario the reason why McD's coffee cups now have to say 'WARNING: Contents may be hot' when you order yourself a large HOT coffee?

Well, milnet, these are my thoughts on this subject. (again, they are my thoughts, and therefore opinion, so they are not the opinion of everyone else in uniform).... Your husband is off to basic training. Good for him as it is a real life changing experience. In time, he -will- learn to...

Dangerboy, Thank you for that link. I was given http://armyapp.dnd.ca/ael/3col-eng.html which is not avail fraserdw, I got ahold of the base pubs lady and she has helped me. Thank you for that.

On this note, and since the AEL is down, does anyone know who to contact WRT ordering hardcopies of PAMS?
