Steve you'll find out throughout you're military carreer you will find many ways to make "short cuts" to make your day easier, I still keep my second shave kit in my ruck to save time packing before an ex, or for that matter I keep my ruck pretty much packed to minimize packing time, I keep a...

I know its an old thread but if you're still looking for a cornflake, I've got one for you.

Thats where the CO's warrant comes in to play

Not entirely true, in Victoria the Base Fire Prevention officer conducts an annual inspection, he is accompanied by a Cpl/LS that works in the base chiefs office for the purpose of making sure the smoke detectors work, certain building and fire code regulations are complied with, ie no clothes...

not the official number but the latest I got from BDE 16 pos out of 1200 tested

and for the love of god tighten the valise until it wont tighten any more, do not trust your wash basin to hold the thing together. in fact make the opening look like a sphincter and you should be OK, otherwise the thing tends to puke about halfway through the march.

Not entirely the case, generally if a mbr develops a database to make thier job easier they share it with thier wingers, we had 10 or 12 floating around the navcomm community, It doesn't become the property of the CF just because it was stored on a "RED" machine, the disk however that it was...

oh look he upgraded to a back-ho, listen jr lots of folks here have tried to steer you in the right direction. Do yourself a favour, suck back, relax, READ ALOT and make an informed decision about what you want to do, there are tons of resources on this site and other, try a google search...

I dont believe I've used my hands to dig even a shelter scrape, maybe to plant something in my garden, me thinks someone has seen band of brothers and heartbreak ridge a few too many times

I'm with CDN Aviator on this one, There was life before Afghanistan, there will be life after, the world has changed and finding fights is no problem anymore, our enemy is not just the Taliban its Terrorism. Do not for the love of god let the current ops forge your decisions on joining the...

I can only offer this for you, I was originaly a reserve lineman, followed be a reg force Naval Communicator I am now an Artillery Officer (PH 2) none of my previous trades have hampered my desires to progress or train in a different trade, another example, a good friend of mine was a reservist...

hey no prob and yes the drugs (mostly smoke dope) and drink has progressivly been on the rise at nelles for the last 10 years. And of course about 3 or 4 years ago they started houseing people in the pup rooms on a rather permanent basis

At the time I was a very jr LS and rather out of power to do anything other than an a#% chewing on the flag deck, my reccomendations to my immed supr were either ignored or tempered, I have no idea what the swain thought when he found out about the multiple admin attempts to correct his actions...

This is what happened in my situation, I was reserve for 3 years prior to joining the reg navy as a navcomm, I was given only my BMQ as far as the navy was concerned (kept alot of my army quals though) I was enrolled as an OD but given a higher IPC (3), due to TCP (time credit for promotion)...

Back in my Navy days I had an OS that liked the bottle, maybe a wee bit too much (young kid though and apparently he's grown out of it) and came to work late, alot, after a few verbals, (4) for missing flash up or just being late he was finaly charged (once the coxn found out) he got a fine the...

Just a bit of a bcakgrounder, when I arrived in ST-Jean for IAP/BOTP in August RFT Platoon was Company Strength, the scuttlebut around the school this fall is that RFT candidates must reach certain minimuns to be determined by PSP to be eligible to go to RFT. Keep in mind the change is still...

rowshanbow, I was in B div, we not only lost the branch brass (not the concern) we lost all capbadges full stop, and you're right I spent alot of time on the phone with the kids (missing all 3 birthdays for the 5th year in a row) and helping everyone out. It's not that we thought we were better...

I think this has snow-balled a wee bit. The objection is to the IAP phase of the BMOQ, the BOTP was extremely beneficial, as was previously said this is where the leadership portions are taught. The IAP course is 9 weeks of recruit training, a trip to the War Museum, A trip to a cemetary, and 1...

A hat badge is not a trinket, it is something earned through hard work and dedication, it allows a mbr to salute any commission issued by or on behalf of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the second, this includes all commissioned officers, warships, cenotaphs, and war dead. It is a dismal feeling to...

The latest rumours are that IAP will not be req'd for CFR's and BOTP will be written off by the new version of CF PLQ, but again as all things military this is still a rumour as far as I know. (I'm still sifting through 4 months of message traffic and trying to sort out xmas lve)
