In short, the sky is the limit.... I have a friend that just got back from the UAE training their troops.  Current friends leaving for Panama, California etc...  (All in the Armour Corps). I'm sure other people will fill you in on where they have been tasked to, but do plan to travel!

Yes Ok bad choice in words.  The RCD are not super busy doing that, I simply meant that this one of the things thats ongoing and consuming resources right now (on top of the LEO 2 and C2 training etc...) No worries...I'm sure RBD will be around shortly to throw in something else, I was just...

No not super busy, just saying...  Mind you there is a lot of administrative stuff that goes on for them while they are overseas. And yes, they are the training cadre that will train troops on the Leo 2's.

Well seeing as to how troops just got back from overseas learning the LEO 2....I'm not sure where you are at. Yes there are courses for C2 going on as well. Summers are slower than the Fall/Winter is what I was trying to get at.

+1 RetiredGrunt. As experienced as Mr. O'Connor was, what the public needs is a smooth talking, articulate person.  Mr. McKay offers this.  It will be interesting to see if Mr. McKay can transform the public's image and beliefs of the mission in Afghanistan better than Mr. O'Connor's. All the...

Yes unfortunately.  It only is capable of the Readyboost technology... Personally, I would stick with XP.  Just my HO, though.

Anybody sick of the slow performance of Vista? Well, we all probably know of Readyboost technology, the technology that uses a simple USB memory stick to dub as RAM.  But it has to be a special memory stick, and it is pricey and hard to find. This is a way to use any memory stick, and let me...

One of my friends just had a kidney pull the plug on him.  The docs said his 8 years of "safe supplements" (creatine, protein, glutamine etc...) were the major contributor to his taxed and eventually failed kidney. If your body is meant to be 120, 160 or 200 lbs. let it be.  It's funny because...

Hammond, The exercises are not as plentiful as you may think.  There are however, numerous classes (IBTS, PLQ etc..) to fill your days.  On occasion there are "roll outs", but they do not happen near often as you may imagine.  The fall/winter is a very busy time, and you will be kept busy. ...

Ya I guess eh?  Free healthcare and all right?... ;D But in all honesty, the secret to putting on weight is no secret at all.  It's just complex science.  It's alot more than just saying eat more calories than you burn.  The reason for this is because your body has an internal equillibrium and...

The exact same recipe for a triple bypass when you are 25.

I was at the Grad parade, and I can say that it was a great show.  They even had the radio communications between the Ground and Air on the loudspeaker as the Hornets did their bombing missions.  Congrats to those that graduated!

Ok I'm not trying to drag the subject on or anything, but there is can be a formal negotiation process for terms of service.  I am an example, and many of my friends are examples.  Take for example, CF offers you a 10 year contract, however you don't want to commit that much time.  Through...

OK I think I might have been a little misinterpreted.  I didn't mean throwing in a huge curveball like a whole MOC change clause as the original poster wanted. It was in response to some of the other posters stating that contracts are "set in stone" etc...  Not true; things like lengths...

We should take a step backward. While I understand that contracts are contracts and its the military "song and dance", let me put a spin on things. First, the CF is hurting for numbers; no new news here.  If you are a competent soldier, I see no reason why you cannot negotiate your contract. ...

Sorry, I must have misinterpreted this part...

ROTP receive their commission once degree is complete, not after MOC qualified...

I agree.  Actually, call me crazy, but I did some reading into the issue, and part of the problem was that at one time the Darfur government would only allow black African soldiers to intervene.  Am I out to lunch here?

I agree completely with this statement.  Something should be done in Sudan, but we simply cannot contribute at this time.

So what makes you think that because you don't have it, that you can substitute with something of your own?  Would you bring your own helmet if something broke on your issued one? Don't be so quick to assume that you will get away with this one...
