Well, EPL has started. Too bad it looks like I'm busy a lot of sats so can't catch games on Sportsnet. :P Surprising that the Hammers are doing decent so far. And death to Man U scums. :D

This thread is ghey. Thread closed.

^Best to take stuff like this to Private Messaging system. :)

I'm the guy who's basically in charge of the chatroom, and I'll try to get it back up again in about a week or so. Been away for summer.

Actually, at most, my platoon had maximum 2 jerries for a platoon of 33 or so at one time. I was delegated as the 'water NCO' by default or something and I ensured that everytime a jerry was returned, it was empty or pretty damn close to it. Jerries were returned after meals with garbage, or...

I have no idea, as I don't know when CQ made water runs. I was never a CQ for a coy in field, but I was admin NCO for a course this summer and to my belief, it should be at least 2 jerries per section available.

It just seemd to me that the airmobile ops was big part of the training, yet it wasn't that big part at all in terms of the context of the overall picture. Yeah, getting guys familiarized with choppers is nice I suppose, but to me, the choppers were there as something shiny and cool and that's all.

Just how many Jerries did the CQ carry at one time anyways? Maybe 20 for a company of 150+? I'm not pointing fingers at you directly, but it just seems that there weren't enough jerries around. (And yes, my platoon brought back jerries whenever they were empty, which was mainly after meals and...

Guess what. When you took the comms course, you should have realized that in an inf coy, there are signaller positions and you might get stuck doing that job. Wanting to pound the ground and shoot guns and killing the enemy is all good, but you have to realize that it can't be all cool stuff...

^The problem with experienced troops not showing up is that first 2 SGs were pretty bad IMO. So, the higher ups are fighting an uphill battle to get the troops to show up. I mean, when it seems that 50% of the unit has excuses to not show up, you know something's wrong with the ex. (Or the...

Well, here's my kick at the can Pros: -Excellent enemy force. Good to have 1 RCR boys come out and play, giving a good challenge including usage of LAVs and snipers, roving patrols to make recce difficult and more. That trench position at the end of DZ Anzio was something special. -Lots of time...

Blind loyalty can be a tool used by bad leaders to commit bad acts. Is Canada free of such people? Almost. There are always few bad apples in every barrel.

Or anyone with a high degree of accuracy with a pace stick. :D

Use the search button. That's why it's there.

I just finished Starship Troopers for the umpteenth time. Started to reread War and Peace again. I don't know why I like it. The style of writing is like licking paint on walls.

The question is how long will these serials be? More importantly, how many people can actually show up to form a company? The ever present res problems...

^It should be the first thing on his agenda; change the way the troops think about themselves. Soldier first and always. Everything else afterwards.

I hear there's something in the 10 principles of leadership about keeping your followers informed. Must be a misprint. :D

Let me know if you're having trouble reconnecting.

Next WC perhaps? I just can't see enough of us be arsed enough to watch an EPL game on regular basis.
