Sounds like you had no answer, but just wanted to pipe up and make yourself feel important by saying something. Do you really think that the PSO is going to have answers when it comes to unit PT schedules and sailing destinations? Sounds like something that would be best answered by people on...

Hey there,   Gathering all the info I can, so that on my OT going through I can be prepared. So, here are a few randoms: 1: As a Sgt, what will my leadership courses translate into in the Navy?  I know I will go down to LS when I OT, but will my PLQ-I hold up, or will I have to do a Navy PLQ...

Alright, so no on the welding, not a problem. So, what does a ships dive team do ?

Hey all,   Putting in my OT to naval electrician and am looking at the eventual goal of completing the ships diver course. I have my basic open water, so I know I love to dive, and would really like to take this to the next level. Also, I would like to find a qualification that I can translate...

Oh my... ummm... well.... Ive got nothing.

For the MSM, the miniature medal itself is given out in a package after the ceremony. Rifleman, thats a lot of info, and even though I have gone through the procedure, I didnt know half of it! It all happens so fast that one just sort of feels like they are along for the ride. Thanks for the post.

Here we go...

Oops, I meant ETech! I just thought that NET would mean Naval Electrical Tech. Thanks a lot for the quick reply and info! mld, I am pretty set on the navy and was more wondering just what level the ETech is when compared to civi electricians and what I will be able to do after my career. Thanks...

A bit of a follow on to this one. I am looking at putting in my OT to NET and was wondering a few different things. - When it comes to getting your civillian electrical ticket, does the CF training meet the requirements, or is their further civi side stuff to do to get to this level, such as...

Sure thing, I am at work right now, but will get them on here as soon as I get home. Also, for shipping, I have no problem shipping at cost, none of that stupid ebay 'handling' stuff.

Well, I have decided to lighten the load in my closet, and since it is stacked full of uniforms from around the world, Ill start there. I can provide photos if requested, but want to see if there is interest before taking all the time to put them up here. All uniforms are new, unless otherwise...

I, and two other members from my OMLT team, were awarded the MSM and were not allowed to wear the medal, or ribbon, until it was presented by the GG. This may have been a unit thing, or just people not being sure of the actual process. I would look for some hard facts on this before wearing a...

In 12 years in the infantry, I have only ever seen one person get out of their first TOS. It was a pretty extreme case, so I wouldnt count on being released early because you found something better to do.

Another person who presumes to know all about me! Perhaps you can list off their experience and courses as well! I am sure there is another special internet star in it for you!

The OP suggested that these were for pocket flaps or belts. I consider both of these items to be dress of the day. Isnt that nice! You must feel so special after writing that all down! I think somewhere you just earned an internet gold star, although you might have to share it with medicine man.

Again, you presume to know things about me, when you have no idea who I am, or where I have served my time. I spent 3 years in 1 RCR, and did time with the 2nd as well before coming to 3VP. I never said he was lying, and I never said that mech soldiers wouldnt have earned jump wings. In fact I...

Racism, in any form, is toxic, and no unit can function with it in its ranks, especially in todays multicultural military. I have had several first nations soldiers serve both with me, and under my command, and have never seen them treated any differently. The last soldier, who was in my...

All going to depend on your instructor. Of course inspections are going to be more picky, and more challenging. You will have a lot more dirt and carbon on your gear and weapon, as well as support weapons to clean, and less time to do it in. Each instructor has things that he will be picky on...

So there were a lot of different CO's in 2RCR between 02-04? Thats quite the turnover rate.

And this is why a lot of people with real experience avoid this site. Considering that I am a para instructor, I think that I am in a position that enables me to have a pretty good grasp on the workings of the parachute world. At the moment, there may be one or two people in our company who had...
