Ahhh, Gotcha! Please forgive a penitent noob. Duke

Sorry if the information is incorrect, but I was quoting from the Barrett Web Page:  "The 95M is one of the most unique and innovative bolt-action rifles available to date...an unconventional design from an unconventional company. The 95M borrows the best of its features from its counterpart...

85% on your first attempt at NSCE. The rest of the details are in the CATO, attached below. http://www.cadets.ca/_docs/cato-oaic/4702_b.pdf It looks like being in the top 3 for NSCE is just one of the prerequisites along with Cadet Service (3 Years), conduct, academics etc. Duke

Try this link for the Strathcona Medal: http://www.cadets.ca/_docs/cato-oaic/1316D_b.pdf Prerequisites = selection criteria Duke

Good idea, Mr Burrows! Duke

Good luck! Duke

Foxtwo, Some corps/squadrons are strict about medals. That being said, use your chain of command. Get a copy of the CATO and make sure that you meet all the prerequisites. (I posted links to the CATO in a previous response.) Tell your section or platoon leader that you have done something...

Connaught for quarters, Holland Armoury for the competition. Duke

Right on! Duke

So, are you going to give your medal back?  ;D (Just kidding!) Duke

Cadet uniform only. Duke

Depends on the Model number: The 95M is bolt action. Duke

Most of the posters on that site probably have to sign an NHA (No Humans Allowed) agreement. What a waste of DNA! Duke

Sorry Infanteer, I was editing when you responded. Duke

See this link: http://www.senioryears.com/company.html Seems Canadian, eh? And then there's this one: http://www.samachar.com/features/300801-fpj.html Similar numbers but in India? But wait, there's more: http://www.megamarine.com/opinions.htm Ireland! Conclusion? Probably urban...

Hamburger Hill and Cross of Iron! Duke

Either method should get them out.  As Feral mentioned, keeping the iron moving is a very good idea. Duke

I'm not sure if this is SOP, but I never directly put the iron on the DEU fabric. I use an old, clean tea towel (not a terry, bath towel-they shed lint). I wet the tea towel, wring most of the liquid out, place the towel on the DEU and then iron the towel, with the iron set on High. The towel...
