In Pet for example we use the Deployment Support centre when we are away and this seems to negate all responsibilities of rear parties. These non-deployable types are way too busy with Maury Povich to deal anything more taxing than picking up box lunches. I can remember when people stayed on...
Its great to have a reference for these kinds of things but this is not the way to do things. To learn a weapon you must use the weapon in a supervised setting not read from a book. We memorize facts and characteristics but drills must be instinctive. The instructor needs to ensure you have...
"Besides hopefully I am wearing some of those sweet high thigh blue camo boots if I ever become a POW. I am sure I can coerce some SGT Schultz type into getting me anything I want."
You are such a tramp, "Sleaze"
It is not new. It is perhaps regional though. In 1996 at leadership Coy in Pet Pt could only be conducted between 0530 and 0610. I was there on task this summer and the policy was still in effect. Extra PT as a corrective measure has been discouraged for a long time so If it was happenning...
Just to add my 2 cents, it is my experience that the soles of the CWW boot is a pain too clean. Everything gets caught in the grooves, especially if you are working in a gravelled area(Camp Maple Leaf for example). I do prefer them though over the Gore-Tex boots we were issued in the early 90s.
Just out of curiosity, how many soldiers(fully trained and not recruits or still in training) have not been issued CADPAT? The Initial issue went to 2 Vandoo in 01 because they were the first BG to deploy with CADPAT. First line units got it later that year. We must be at the end of the...
Is 8 bucks too much to spend for a T-shirt? That is all that is mandatory in the RCD It will last you for years. The other kit like a shell jacket and wind pants are nice but not mandatory, however they are alot more expensive at a sporting goods store and Athletes world is never going to...
It is easier to VR after basic than after a soldier is trained. As soon as you have DP1 complete the Army wants a return on their investment(in some trades alot of money). A female crewman recently was days from being released and Ottawa changed their mind. She is required to finish her...
I rember hearing somewhere that when the 8ch were in Pet they called RCD Hill just that, however in those days Juliet Tower was called Hussar Tower and noone calls it that anymore(except Leo Bernard)
It can be up and running in under 30 minutes with an experienced crew. This is assuming that you have sighted your OP properly and you have no equipment failures. You could have eyes within about 15-20 minutes if all goes well. Keep in mind that it takes about 1 1/2 to times longer in the...
Having just finished instructing on the CAP(R) this summer I highly doubt that the same aim could be achieved in a weekend format.there are 31 training days and 17 of them are spent in the field. If it were to be done on weekends then module three should have to be done at ATC. The weekend...
