Hello all, I come here after searching endlessly on the DIN, web, clerks knowledge, and UFI from peers but I cannot find a definitive answer to my question. What I am looking for is an electronic (or Pub reference) of the requirements for the occupation badge on DEUs and all stages of it. What...

Our BT is testing out a "new" system called CrossFit (www.crossfit.com) and that is doing a lot for the guys. It shows that guys who could "bench two times their body weight and do a mile in under 9min" were sucking wind. It is a workout that works the ole body, rather than the standard "Doing...

No worries here. I got the point of the post - just had to use it as an example

To negative comments, there is one question you can always state right back. It all depends on your own situation or what trade you're going into, but I find that this works in my case: "What have you accomplished in your life?" Out of all the examples they give you (if any), see if there are...

This may be reviving an old thread, but I will Rusk the ridicule. I was being thrown many options of what to do with my life - acting, science, etc. I decided to go with the military for numerous reasons. I had many people express their concern for me, stating things along the lines of "it...

Can anyone PM me with details on this topic being I cannot access DIN info from home, and well, I am currecntly at home due to post-injury repairs? Is it only being planned for the Atlantic because I heard it may start there, but will go to the Pacific as well. I am interested on this info and...

Okay, it's correct now to post. Well said a_majoor.

I would modify my previous post and nix it, but I will make a counter-post to myself (really, I am not crazy). Being in a rush, I neglected to notice that posts were made before my comment was posted. My 'Kudos to Magraven' was in reference to his previous post before hand which was award a '+1'...

Thank you very much for the post here, and especially my english skills. In reference to your last sentence about it not making it back in to service, I will note on that. 'Anywhere else by the West' refers to which? It is a term that even I widely use, but what does it truely mean? Is is CAN...

<sarcasm> Like Ham Streak in Mustard sauce - it's old but they always bring it back like it's new.</sarcasm> Thanks though. I'm still considered a FNG with my 3yrs, so I don't know all there is with how old things were like or what their new capabilities are. Thanks. :)

Okay, I am gonna relight my supposed closing of interest on this thread. http://forums.army.ca/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=25878 shows the 106mm getting pulled by an Iltis (?) so they can still be ported around like that, though I was suggested that we use the old M113 converts that look like a...

The reason for the orginal idea was to see if we could employ anything -already- in our system without needing to put a big expense on it. The ONTOS may look cool, but the Afghanistan mission would be over by the time we get them in service. As for the loading, from what I've been told, it's...

Fair enough. I will dump the idea and continue with a more sane thought like a full sweep with the whole army from north to south afghanistan (just kidding for those who may have taken it seriously). Thanks for the opinion again.

The reason I ask is I need info for a fanciful idea of mine that prolly won'y get fired up the chain, but a fanciful idea nonetheless. Maybe I'll post it here as to get it shot down by other professional (or un-professional in the case of PC) soldiers. Since we are deploying tanks to the Gan, I...

I know there are a lot of ordinance buffs out there, so I have come toask of your services. What I am looking for is ammunition for a 106mm Recoilles Rifle like we used to have. I know some countries still use them, so what do they have for ammo? I ask for different ammo because differnt...

Why are you blaming it solely on the Instructors? If you acknowledge that their "hands are pretty much tied" then what can be done. I believe it is up to their peers who perform selection. It is the future member's responsibility to cover his own *** should the 'numpty' make it through in order...

I may not know combat but I will relate to the feeling that you have no closure and maybe it is also with you, but your life is seemingly on pause while you recover. How it may be a little bubble inside the hospital while the world continues on its way. How no mater how many people ask you how...

APOLLOVet PM away

Just the fatter-a$$ed pte across the hall

Thanks a million. Good on the Candian stuff, no luck on the Iraq stuff (sorry). Thank for the effort though.
